It‘s This Meets That

Russ and Jared are back with part 2 of The Kissing Booth (2018), starring Joey King, Jacob Elordi, Joel Courtney, Meganne Young, and Molly Ringwald.

The guys are really in for it as they wrap up possibly the worst movie they've seen. Will Shelly and Flynn end up...

Russ and Jared are back with the full, scene-by-scene breakdown of The Kissing Booth (2018), starring Joey King, Jacob Elordi, Joel Courtney, Meganne Young, and Molly Ringwald. This Netflix original has it all: single dads, Dance Dance Revolution rip-offs, ripped pants, and bad ideas for fundraisers (i.e. the titular booth). You'll be shouting "yearbook" right along with the guys as you listen to...

Another week and another trailer broken down by Russ and Jared! This time, the guys are talking about Netflix original, The Kissing Booth (2018), starring Joey King, Jacob Elordi, Joel Courtney, Meganne Young, and Molly Ringwald (why?!).

Russ and Jared are back, this time, with the star-studded film, Barely Lethal (2015)! Let's hope the trailer is just hiding all the good parts. How could this movie be bad with Hailee Steinfeld, Jessica Alba, Sophie Turner, Samuel L. Jackson, and Dove Cameron? It wouldn't be on ITMT if it were good. Watch the trailer along with the guys, and stay tuned for the full movie breakdown next week!

We hope you're staying hydrated because Russ and Jared are back with part 2! They're wrapping up Hard Kill (2020), starring Bruce Willis, Eva Marie, Lala Kent, Jesse Metcalfe, Sergio Rizzuto, and Texas Battle. When we last left our "heroes," they were in the "warehouse" assessing the "terrorist situation" outside. Will Bruce's scarf stay unscathed? Will this be the end of global capitalism? Tune i...

This week Russ and Jared are diving head first into the abyss that is Hard Kill (2020), starring Bruce Willis, Eva Marie, Lala Kent, Jesse Metcalfe, Sergio Rizzuto, and Texas Battle.

It's decidedly not Die Hard! This week Russ and Jared are tackling the trailer for Hard Kill (2020), a coincidentally similarly named movie also starring Bruce Willis (and also Eva Marie, Lala Kent, Jesse Metcalfe, Sergio Rizzuto, and our old pal with the most excellent name, Texas Battle. In this episode, Jared solicits recipes from the listeners, the fellas discuss pro wrestling, and they estima...

The guys are back with part 2! Russ and Jared are wrapping up White Noise (2005), starring Michael Keaton, Deborah Kara Unger, Ian McNeice, and Mike Dopud.

This week the guys also do their most in-depth Fast Facts yet! And as always, stay tuned for part 2 on Thursday!

Russ and Jared are back with their favorite kind of trailer, the kind that tells you almost nothing about the plot of the movie. They're settling in for White Noise (2005), another movie Jared has seen (and forgotten), and starring Michael Keaton, Deborah Kara Unger, Ian McNeice, and Mike Dopud. Tune in to hear the guys reminisce about early 2000s special effects and tear this trailer apart!

When we left Russ and Jared, the guys weren't even quite halfway into fan-favorite romantic comedy, The Perfect Man (2005). Will Mike O'Malley get a date? Will Caroline Rhea be in the movie again? Will Heather Locklear finally find love? Will Hilary Duff end up on To Catch a Predator because of Ben Feldman? Find out in part 2. Then again, you can't beat the Mona Lisa!

It's time for Russ and Jared to discover what it means to be The Perfect Man (2005)! Starring Caroline Rhea (if you ask Jared), Heather Locklear, Hilary Duff, and Ben Feldman, this movie asks the question that's always on all of our minds: what would happen if Hilary Duff successfully catfished Heather Locklear? For the answer, you'll have to tune in to this week's episode! Stay tuned for part 2 o...

Russ and Jared are back with a romantic comedy this week, The Perfect Man (2005)! Starring Heather Locklear, Hilary Duff, and Ben Feldman, this film is sure to be The Perfect Movie. It's a tale as old as time: mother moves her daughters every time she has a bad breakup, daughter decides to create a fake perfect boyfriend, and hijinks ensue. Watch the trailer with the guys and enjoy a new Fan Servi...

When we last left Russ and Jared, they were just about to start figuring out how the aliens work. Hint: it's exactly as electric and arbitrary as you assumed. The movie still hasn't told anyone what the female characters' names are, the greasy entrepreneurs are questioning whether they're the lone survivors, and shenanigans are about to ensue. Join the guys as they wrap up The Darkest Hour (2011),...

Russ and Jared are back with another sci-fi action film, The Darkest Hour (2011)! This one stars ITMT fave, Emile Hirsch, alongside Max Minghella, Olivia Thirlby, and Rachael Taylor.

Contemplate that while y...

ITMT favorite, Emile Hirsch, is back in this week's Trailer Trash for The Darkest Hour (2011)! Also starring Max Minghella, Olivia Thirlby, and Rachael Taylor, this flick promises bad accents, electric aliens, and Russian nightclubs. What more could Russ and Jared ask for? The guys also have some tips in Fan Service from friend of the pod, Emily, for how you too can win more radio contests. All th...

Russ and Jared are back with part 2! When we left the fellas, it seemed like the movie was just finally going to start getting interesting, with our hero (Alain Moussi) in the interrogation room getting interrogated. But it doesn't get a whole lot better from here. Will Tony Jaa and Frank Grillo save the day in Jiu Jitsu (2020)? Will Nicolas Cage and Alain Moussi somehow become more relevant? Who...

Nic Cage is back! Russ and Jared are doing their scene-by-scene breakdown of his latest straight-to-streaming flick, Jiu Jitsu (2020). On paper, this movie seems like it should be great. It's got Nicolas Cage. It's got aliens. It's got martial arts (and Tony Jaa and Frank Grillo). It's pretty much non-stop action. And yet... this may be one of the most unwatchable movies the guys have covered so f...

Russ and Jared are back, covering far from the worst thing to happen last year, a straight-to-streaming film, Jiu Jitsu (2020). ITMT alum and fan favorite, Nicolas Cage, is back! Watch along with the guys as they dive into the trailer filled with soldiers, aliens, and martial arts. What could possibly go wrong? Can Tony Jaa, Marie Avgeropoulos, and Frank Grillo save this one? Listen in to find out...

Did anyone ever shut off the stove? Does anyone know what Jared is talking about? No, almost never. Russ and Jared are back with their friends, Thaís and Brady from Worth Watching Once, to finish The Open House (2018). Halfway through, it's thankfully time for this movie to accelerate and get to "the good part." Time means nothing to Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why) and his mom, Piercey Dalton, and...

Russ and Jared are once again joined by their friends from Worth Watching Once, Thaís and Brady, in another special episode! The gang is diving deep into the scene-by-scene breakdown (ITMT-style) of The Open House (2018), a Netflix original film. The premise of this one is a little flimsy. Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why), and his mom, Piercey Dalton (bunch of indie stuff you've never heard of), fi...

This week is a very special Trailer Trash where Russ and Jared are joined by their friends from Worth Watching Once, Thaís and Brady! The whole gang is analyzing the trailer for The Open House (2018), a Netflix original film. It's supposed to be perfectly terrible for ITMT, and Worth Watching Once focuses on Netflix originals. In this one, forever teenager, Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why), and his...

When we left Russ and Jared, Kate Hudson was abusing Kathy Bates in the hospital. And now they're starting back up with a ruthless poem from Kate Hudson's character to her boss, Steven Weber from Wings. What other surprises does A Little Bit of Heaven (2011) have in store? Will Kate Hudson end up with Gael García Bernal after all? Listen to part 2 to find out!
