Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are considering planting anise garden to appease our new plant overlords. We watched the 2008 film from M. Night Shyamalan, The Happening. The plants have had enough! They are pissed off and throwing down the gloves. It’s time to kick ass and chew some tree sap… and they’re all out of sap. It turns out that the trees aren’t too happy about...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean have two all expenses paid tickets to the center of the freaking Earth. We watched the 2003 film from Jon Ariel, The Core. Sure, science has given us many things: amazing medical advancements, technological marvels that feel like magic, and a sparkling sense of wonder in many people. Do you know what science has never given us? A way to tu...

This city is c...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are coming face to face with the reality that we may not be who we think we are. We’re talking about the 2013 film from Joseph Kosinski, Oblivion. Has there ever been a prettier post-apocalyptic film than this one? We think not, and it’s surely one of the reasons why we chose it to kick off our month of Earth-themed films. Oblivion is an i...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying to figure out if the tentacles growing out of our chests are all that noticeable. We’re talking about the James Gunn film from 2006, Slither.

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are objecting to firing guns, but are not objecting to saving lives. We’re talking about the Mel Gibson film from 2016, Hacksaw Ridge.

Also, if you are indeed like me, then you’re going to want to know a heck of...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are desperately trying to just make it through the damn night and get back home to our families. We’re talking about the Randall Wallace film from 2002, We Were Soldiers. What a mess of a confrontation. I think it’s safe to say that no one really came out ahead in the Vietnam War. I also think it’s probably safe to say that no one’s coming...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just doing our damnedest trying to get a message across a war-torn battlefield and save thousands of souls.

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are falling in love with our respective Hollywood crushes, and somehow it’s actually working out. We’re talking about the Roger Michell film from 1999, Notting Hill.

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on a desperate mission to save the relationship we accidentally screwed up. We’re talking about the 1998 film from Jason Bloom, Overnight Delivery. What we really need to talk about with this film is how amazing Ivy’s purple Jeep was. I’m not usually one to go for a car like that—I prefer mine without a leaky roof—but that little putt-...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying our damnedest to remember all the things we keep forgetting each day. We’re talking about the Peter Segal film from 2004, 50 First Dates. I’m sure we’ve all got some first dates that we’d really like to forget. The food could have made us sick. Our date was embarrassingly rude to the waiter. It ended in a weird bed with someone...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are doing our best to stay out of the rain, bathtubs, pools, fountains, and indoor plumbing. We’re talking about the 2013 film from Griff Furst, Ghost Shark. It may surprise some of you to learn that sharks are a lot more talented/fearsome than you might have first known. That’s not to say that they’re inherently terrifying and evil; most...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are making quick friends with some underwater alien creatures. We watched the James Cameron film from 1989, The Abyss. I just mentioned the aliens, but would you be surprised to discover that those things aren’t featured in much of the film? Probably only about twenty-ish minutes of this over two-hour-long thing. Maybe you wouldn’t be surp...

But if you or your children need more moti...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are discovering the true meaning of the holiday season. We watched the 2019 film from Sergio Pablos, Klaus.

This film has given me everything I could possibly need, thank you very much. The real question is why did...

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are begging with everything we’ve got for an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.

Send us Fan Mail On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are running away with newly risen Texas beauty queens. We watched the Will Geiger film from 2007, Elvis & Anabelle. Did this movie invent a new genre? Gothic dramatic romantic road trip family drama? Whatever the heck it is, Joe Mantegna completely stole every scene he was in. Nobody else could compete. If you’re going to see this movi...
