Naming A Movie Podcast Is Hard

Abi and Matt talk about movies to watch on July 4th. We talk about the beginning/end of summer, missing Good Humor trucks, and block parties we were never invited to.

Abi and Matt figure out that movies change throughout the years. Should Argo have won Best Picture? Should Ben Affleck have been nominated for Best Director? Did I run out of questions to ask while I was writing this?

Abi and Matt find out this is not really a movie about birds. Sorry, bird lovers.

Matt and Abi watch a movie that is not How I Met Your Mother, but it could be.

The only award show that matters besides the VMAs turns four (we think).

Abi, Matt, and a producer talk about a 90s classic. Matt continues to give away Oscars he doesn't have to give away.

Despite watching The Revenant together, Abi and Matt remain friends.

Shane West and Mandy Moore star in a movie that Abi and Matt saw in theaters when they were teenagers. Landon Carter has not great friends. Jamie Sullivan sings. Landon's hug with his father at the end of the movie is fantastic.

We're switching formats because of the best news ever. We talk Remember the Titans and Friday Night Lights. Matt does the impression he always does when Remember the Titans comes up. Abi delivers the best news ever.

November means Thanksgiving...and Thanksgiving movies (if you can find one). Admittedly, this attempt may have been a bit of a failure.
