Erin and Brennan defect for Montana from their nuclear submarine in hopes of a better life. Is this episode full of Sean Connery impressions for the first 10 minutes? Yes. Yes, it is. Do those Sean Connery impressions count as Russian accents according to this movie? Yes, they do.  Brennan sets his depth charges for bad jokes, while Erin has to play along with this conspiracy. But who is the sabot...

Brennan returns to earth in his mortal form, but missing the glow of divinity. Meanwhile, Erin lusts after some nymphs (Gerard Butler) and can't shut up about the Twelve Labors of Hercules (HERAKLES)! Our heroes journey includes some bad gospel singing, screaming about the state of Scar, and a discussion of how randy Zeus is. How randy is he? VERY randy (geese, bulls, and women's missing...

This week Erin is  missing her stage manager Brennan, but is joined by the Lizard King (special guest star) Stephan to talk about the Oliver Stone movie The Doors. Do they just talk about the Doors movie? No! To have a narrative that made that much sense would be too easy.  Instead Erin and Stephan wander into the desert to discuss the movie, the band, random 60's rock stories, biopics in gen...

Erin and Brennan bring home the gold, but let's be real, they're only chocolate gold coins. Following the Tokyo 2020 (2021?) Olympics, our hosts take a moment to share their views on a highly controversial and inspiring sporting event. They discuss everything from COVID to hot guys canoeing, scandals to swimming, protests to pole vaults, and tap dance to ska (the most recognized forms of...

"Sporty Spice is not the only one without a fellah!" exclaims my dear sister as she watches Bend it Like Beckham, taking issue with all Spice Girls references. As mentioned, this week we are talking about Bend it Like Beckham, a sports film about LADIES doing SPORTS! The nerve! There's Jess, there's Jules, and there's Joe! Clearly the cut for making it into the story is to...

The Summer Olympics have begun, and in that spirit Erin and Brennan have thought long and hard and decided on the perfect sporting film for the occasion, the Miracle on Ice at the 1980 WINTER Olympics at Lake Placid in New York; a story about the ICE HOCKEY team that took on the Soviets and their vampire coach. Armed with their wooden stakes, these young lads do battle with the vampire team and le...

Erin and Brennan gift you, the Void, on this wonderous summer day, their glittering diamond bods by way of Edward Cullen, the most "attractive" underperforming vampire in the history of literature. With long sullen stares, they greet you and beckon you into this podcast. . . or are they wondering where the toilet is. Not sure. That's right, we're talking Twilight this week as o...

Erin and Brennan go for a magic carpet ride and realize that it's probably an alien. There's only one way it could get to all those places in one night... WORMHOLE TECHNOLOGY!!!! If you haven't guessed, this is about Abooboo, I mean, Aladdin. This poor street-rat spends his days with his monkey friend Abu on the streets of Agrabah with ne'er a fiber on his back, I mean he doesn...

These fly hunks and their cocky 'tudes strut through the Blackrock Desert bein' all, "Yeah, we just did that." It's Independence Day, fools! Brennan is trying to not eat on air, Erin expands upon her lists of hunks (it's Jeff), and the Greatest President of All Times makes the dopest speech. Period.  Our hosts take on the lack of decent evidence for aliens today, prai...

Gather the pieces: Fang, Spine, Talon, Tail................. and Heart? That's the name you went with? Ok Captain Planet. Erin and Brennan learn to TRUST each other in their review of "Raya and the Last Dragon". This movie is about TRUST and the power of TRUST to reunite a fractured nation that doesn't TRUST each other. And their dragon genie has the power of TRUST and a killer...

It's a down week for us here at Pshht Themes, but we are back with some silly Muppets, including Tim Curry! Erin and Brennan rewatch the greatest Muppet movie of them all, Muppet Treasure Island, the story of a mullet child, a rat, and a... whatever..., taking to the high seas in search of adventure and treasure. Erin dumps her treasure chest of pirate knowledge, but Brennan at least has ONE...

It's here, the final installation of THIS grouping of Star Wars reviews. After taking some time to thaw Erin from her carbonite, our core trio are back with their thoughts on The Return of the Jedi, plus reviews of the trilogy in total with additional comments about the digital changes to the trilogy. We learn that Jabba's robots are highly sadistic, Ewoks have evil emperor eyes, and Ian...

Our core trio are back in the Star Wars universe to geek about the greatest movie of them all, "Empire Strikes Back". Erin has an interesting collection of Star Wars home merchandise, while Matt and Brennan establish that C3-P0 is the most KY ever, also, they establish what "KY" means!  *Insert new, more advanced, yet still cheesy PowerPoint swipe. This time a diagonal!* Our gr...

Buckle your seatbelts and engage hyperdrive folks, it's time to embark on the space opera of all times, for all times. We are joined once again by Matt Solo, a smuggler who thinks Luke needs to get good, Erin is our commanding princess leading the team, and Brennan is a space wizard in training, staring off at twin sunsets and singing his own theme song, but softly enough that no one else can...

Near, Far, Wherever you Are! I am here in my house, constantly sobbing, and our hosts will sing on and on! If it isn't clear yet, our hosts are tackling the dramatic tragedy Titanic, one of the highest grossing box-office films of all times with a mirrored success in awards received. Erin has issues controlling her tear ducts when she hears the first notes of the pennywhistle solo, Brennan re...

Our journey concludes this day by the light of Sozen's Comet. The cards have been played, the pieces have been moved, and it call comes down to the final showdown between Aang and Ozai (Mark Hamill [We love you!]). But before the fighting must come. . . the fieldtrips, the invasions, the emo beach days, teens with no social skills, and a whole lot of stress dreams. Erin is encouraged, though...

Erin and Brennan pour themselves a second cup of jasmine tea and recline in their Fire Nation Spa for season two of Avatar: The Last Airbender.  From missing bison to detective Sokka, Team Avatar is back in action and with a new cast member, the blind earthbender named Toph ('cause it rhymes with tough). Meanwhile, Zuko WANTS to get struck by lightning (yikes!), Iroh firebends in the Earth Ki...

Buckle your seatbelts, strap on your sideburns, and join us on the back of our flying bison: Craig. Erin and Brennan dive deep into the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender (ATLA). Let us begin by reigniting (HA!) their deep love for Dante Basco/Zuko (insert firebending pun, oh wait...). In a show jam packed with lovely characters and beloved voice actors, our hosts are in love with Iroh (Mako), Ad...

Birthday number 4 is here for our hosts and their family. This time, it's all about the patriarch, the padre, the pater familias, the Dad. We are watching the film "My Favorite Year", a film that everyone should know about, but for some reason no one does. Does it have explosions? No. Does it have race cars? No. Does it have a suave tuxedo-clad alcoholic? Yes, but it's not Jame...

Erin and Brennan go back to their very green Irish roots. With names like Erin and Brennan, it's easy to do 'cause... they're Irish! With this week's film being the Secret of Kells, our hosts don their shamrock-buckled river-dancing shoes and let the Guinness flow, the fiddle play, and the tapping begin! They discuss cats, fairy rings, human sacrifice, Brendan Gleason being hel...

Lo there do I see my sister Lo there do I see Antonio and Omar Lo there do I see Vikings, many of whom I don't know their names Back to the beginning Lo do I watch their film They bid me remember my place in my college history classes In the Halls of Mackenzie and Stevenson Where the Nerds may Live Forever Erin and Brennan are back from a week hiatus and what's better to help them get ba...

Erin, Brennan, and Matt reunite to tackle the most highly anticipated review, Mandalorian Season 2. What are they, who are they, why are they, and so much more! We learn that Star Wars needs to focus group some new names: Grogu or Goku, Death Troopers, Dark Troopers, Dark Sabers, Dark Wizards, we get it! It's Dark! You need to pay your energy bills! We meet up again with Mando a.k.a Din Jaris...

Ou est le Chocolat? (Mon Dieu! ~en Français) [This is still French, Brennan]. We are so cultured. This podcast is about the differences between kangaroos and wallabies! Just kidding, it's about French people in France making French chocolate, doing French things for French God, and all while in France. But of course the movie is in English (HA! WE STILL WIN!!). Erin and Brennan dust off their...

Love is in the air, and our two hosts are ready to get giddy with wholesome goodness. This year they review Always Be My Maybe, a charming love story of two Asian-Americans who rekindle their love in the City by the Bay. (Hey! We finally mentioned the film title in our description!) Except, Erin and Brennan really just recount their childhood sex education, mistaken police encounters in steamy car...

Brennan forces his sister to watch the greatest terrible movie movie in the world. Plot? Giant robots punching giant monsters IN THE FACE WITH ROCKET ELBOS!!! Mind melds that make no sense,  IDRIS ELBA, questionable technological advances/choices, CHARLIE DAY, and did I mention that there are giant monsters that rise from the deep sea? Erin goes full sociopath for flesh cloaks and brains, Brennan...
