Movie Bonerz

This week, we are Jack's depleted sense of irony.  The guys go really deep into all the layers, meanings, and fan theories surrounding one of the greatest films ever made: Fight Club.  We try to keep the mayhem to a minimum, and we certainly ask a lot of questions and break a lot of rules.   Connect with us on Facebook and Instagram (@MovieBonerz) and let us know your opinion about...

It's our most wholesome episode ever, fun for the whole family as we count down our top ten family films of all time.  We try to keep it G-rated, and end up doing a really good job.  We also do a good job of balancing the line between heavy doses of nostalgia from our own childhoods, as well as sharing our favorite modern classics. Connect with us on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram (@Mov...

Have you ever loved a movie, and were excited for a sequel, but no sequel ever came?  That's our topic of discussion this week as the guys put together their top ten favorite movies which still need a sequel!  They talk about what it takes to make a good sequel, when you have the right recipe for success, and ponder why massive franchises took off instead of these films.  The guys a...

This week we discuss most of the 93rd Academy Award nominees.  Don't worry, we've seen a lot more now than in our Golden Globes episode!  We also start out with mini reviews of other movies we've been watching recently, and Jake has a big, earth shattering announcement and hot take at the end of the episode (no skipping ahead to find it). We also finally have our first video podcast epis...

First episode of Season 2 starts off with a bang, as we finally get to talk about the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League in depth (after having seen it several times each).  We start out with the history, setting context for anyone who missed it.  We compare and contrast the theatrical Josstice League against the Snydercut, discuss length, format, and of course massive changes and m...

In today's episode, we celebrate Adam Sandler, who is not just a cornerstone of our childhood comedies, but has recently become the king of Netflix.  We discover that, while we were laughing, he often tricks us into very deep, heartfelt moments where we actually learn a lot about life and love.  We also talk about his massive and diverse list of friends who play alongside him, which incl...

It's been awhile since we've had a top 10 episode, but we're back with our all-time favorite sports movies this week!  The guys share a great variety of very dramatic and extremely hilarious movies all about the different games humans love to play (and especially watch).  We do a little spoiling towards the end, and also drop some tough-love coaching advice as well.   Connect with u...

Dustin and Jake flirt with being pretentious in our first single-movie dissection episode.  We talk all about "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)," what it means, who it's for, and the filmmaker, composer, and performers involved. Because it is a satire on superhero movies, Hollywood, Broadway, actors, critics, and even the audiences, we also divert into all those areas as well....

Jake and Dustin interview teenage prodigy Christian Flore and discuss his past and current projects, what filmmakers and genres he gravitates towards, how Christopher Nolan copied his movie, and encouraging other artists to just start doing things as the best way to learn. Subscribe to his YouTube channel: CZF Productions to see his short films we talk about in the interview as well as his other w...

The episode we have been wanting to do since the beginning.  We dive very deep into the DC Extended Universe to discuss the successes, failures, and perceptions of the series so far.  Celebrate with us before Zack Snyder's Justice League comes out and the world as we know it changes forever.  The series ranges from very deep and moving to bizarre and upsetting.  We obviously ha...

This week two old fogy millenials talk about kids entertainment even though they know very little about anything nominated for the Nickolodeon Kids Choice Awards.  Jake picks some fights with Dustin first thing in the morning and they wax nostalgic a bit about their childhoods while trying very little to be relevant to a younger demographic.  Jake also continually asks a lot of questions...

We start the episode talking about some recent releases we've watched just for fun and totally forget to thank Wandering-Lion Studios for being a great sponsor until the very end.  Then we get into our first sequel episode where we have spun the wheel of chance and watched ten random movies each, again!  There's a lot less weird sex stuff than the first time, although Dustin was forced t...

Dustin and Jake review the Golden Globe nominees, celebrating both television and film.  They try their darnedest to pronounce names and even several words correctly.  In a rocky, fun episode, we pick our favorites in each category and also review the ones we've seen (which is probably not as many as it should be for the hosts of a movie podcast). As always, connect with us on Facebook and Instagr...

Congratulations to all the Wandering-Lion Film Festival winners, nominees, and entries!  Join us in this short bonus episode for the festival after party.  We talk about the winners, losers, and even call out a snub or two!  Let's pop a little bubbly and celebrate together!   Since there were two nominees we hadn't mentioned previously in our full festival entries episode, we a...

In this week's episode the guys explore the funky filmography of Wes Anderson.  During their adventure they both finally learn what the Criterion Collection is, we wait with baited breath to hear which movie in the list Dustin hates, and Jake somehow failed to do the assignment and didn't watch all the movies. Connect with us on Facebook and Instagram (@MovieBonerz) to tell us what you think...

In this special Valentine's Day episode, the guys bring some great date night movie recommendations so you can stream and chill at home with your romantic partner.  We learn Dustin is in love with the 90's, Jake unintentionally spoils every Nicholas Sparks movie ever, and both bring up a wide variety of movies - from cliche rom-com to not romantic horror (and throw a couple wrenches in the mi...

This week is all about short films as we discuss the various films entered into the Wandering Lion Film Fest that have been made publicly available.  We celebrate the creativity of these artists and try to offer fair and constructive criticism where needed because we want to see them all continue to work and improve.  Connect with us on Facebook and Instagram (@MovieBonerz) to let us kno...

The guys are going to the mattresses this week as they talk about their top ten favorite gangster movies.  They finally receive a real voicemail (which is NOT Jake pretending to be Dustin's grandma this time) and a listener gives them homework.  They also explore all the morals and lessons that the mafia has to teach us (yes, really). Connect with us on Facebook and Instagram (@MovieBone...

We're joined by a special guest re-appearance of Christy this week!  Jake and Christy give quick reviews of Songbird and The Last Blockbuster before we really start celebrating the elegant and quirky filmography of Sandra Bullock.  Dustin dumps Alison Brie on air before professing his love for Sandra, Christy starts beef with Anne Hathaway, and Jake talks about all the times he almost cr...

The guys get serious in this week's episode all about our top ten favorite war movies of all time.  Jake also tricks Dustin a couple times, both intentionally and unintentionally (or is it).  They're very proud that they remain entirely a-political as we discuss conflicts and military action on film throughout the world and throughout history, and also that no one sings "War, what is it...

This week, Jake and Dustin discuss the best and worst movies scheduled to be released this year, some of which are highly anticipated since they were pushed out of 2020.  They also have an absolute terrible time pronouncing names they've never heard and even remembering names they know and say all the time.  Happy new year! Connect with us on Facebook and Instagram (@MovieBonerz) to let...

We start out the episode with a spoiler-free review of Wonder Woman 1984.  We trace the hilarious genius that can only be described as Jim Carrey, and make a couple sad and tragic stops along the way.  Dustin does something never before heard of on the show, Jake takes a very controversial stance, and they both struggle with segues.  If you can get past the incessant and silly laugh...

One of our favorite things are comic books and superheroes.  We combine those this week with our other favorite thing: movies!  We make a lot of rules for ourselves (as usual) and break a few rules along the way (also as usual).  We also learn that our superpower is definitely NOT remembering things as Jake struggles to remember words and names and Dustin kicks himself more than onc...

We take a deep dive this week into the filmography of the great and divisive M. Night Shyamalan.  The first two hours we stay relatively spoiler free as we discuss his films in chronological order.  The last hour we get into heavy spoilers and also share our preferred order from least to most favorite.  It's an interesting ride that includes some of the best and worst movies ever ma...

It's a very festive week in Bonerztown!  Dustin and Jake share their top ten favorite Christmas movies, end up quoting some and laughing more than actually discussing them. Christy comes down the chimney for a surprise visit and we spend the first 15 minutes discussing the insanity that is the "Star Wars Holiday Special."  It's a spiked egg nog and cookies (and beer) fueled holiday celeb...
