That Aged Well

We’re ringing Heist Movie July in with a classic of the genre: 1995’s Oscar-winning The Usual Suspects! We probably all know how certain aspects of this production have aged, but what about the rest of it? Will Erika and Paul be able to sort through all the twists and turns, or will this episode cause a deluge of emails explaining all the things they got wrong? Why do so many characters have names...

This week in Prideful June, Paul and Erika are doing one of those movies that’s only really half a movie…the rest of it is a mashup between a fashion show, a music video, and a gay fever dream.

Paul and Erika are closing out Animation May with another healthy helping of childhood trauma…now with dinosaurs!

March has gone out like a lamb (hopefully), and April is here to bring in all the angels and demons!

It’s a five Monday March this year, and we couldn’t let Screen Legends Month pass without a chance to talk about the dearly departed Catherine O’Hara. The solution?

Paul and Erika are celebrating screen legends all month, and this time it’s Diane Keaton’s turn as they talk all about Baby Boom! How much country estate is too much country estate?

More March, more screen legends…and this time we’re celebrating Rob Reiner, who doesn’t appear on screen in A Few Good Men, but he definitely directed the hell out of it.

How can it possibly be the end of Fantasy February already? This month has already given us so much, and it’s not going to let us down now!

Let’s take at least a week in Fantasy February to truly leave our world behind and enter instead the world of Willow, Ron Howard’s 1988 high fantasy adventure!

Fantasy February gets real this week, as Erika and Paul get all the way into 1984’s classic The NeverEnding Story, which has the three building blocks of any great fantasy story: horses, wolves, and dragons.
