The Bricked Pit

Especially Avatar and it’s not even out yet

So the guy that they based the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies on totally escaped and wound up running a vegan bakery in Seattle. My cousin told me. This other time that podcast The Bricked Pit talked about movies that were 'based on true events' and how a lot of times that's just a load of bunk. You can listen to them talk about films like Captain Phillips, A Midnight Clear, The Town That Dreaded...

What a garbage movie. I cannot forgive them for killing off Bruce in the first 10 minutes

We're going back to when parenting was filling your bowl with Mr. T cereal and plopping you in front of the TV for a few hours while they sat at the kitchen table staring off into the void smoking Marlboros. You're watching the cartoon based off a franchise about the sexual exploits of police officers, playing with your toys of a murderous cyborg, and wearing your pajamas of a mentally unstable wa...

Mystery boxes, season long arcs, tie ins to the franchise. Everything is so bloated and convoluted. Seems no one can tell a straight forward story anymore

The guys in the Pit are back in full swing after being banned by a Tennessee school board. This time Josh, Jason, and Adam discuss the Hays Code that lasted for three decades in the US. Listen as the guys discuss what brought about the Code, how movie productions reacted to it, what led to its demise, and their general jackassery.

I love unreliable narrators. Just kidding. I hate them. Wait, I lied? That’s not cool. Sure it is kids cause I’m an unreliable narrator. Hear why Josh hates this narrative device so much

Personal description of struggles with anxiety

To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I listen to the latest episode of The Bricked Pit.

Josh loves things. Josh doesn’t like people who love things. A rant on fandom

Man, we heard that you were so bad that Santa just backed up a truck full of coal on your front porch. Don't worry, folks, because it's a new year. It's time to start over and redeem yourself just like your favorite movie characters. But can you? Are you worthy of the redemption you seek? I'd suggest consulting a member of the clergy or a philosophy professor on that one. While you're waiting for...

In a very off-brand moment, Adam, Jason, and Josh discuss what they are looking forward to in the forthcoming 2022. Join us in The Bricked Pit a...

Josh glosses over Twitter suggestions for this weeks hate box and mourns Mike Nesmith

Twas the week before Christmas; and all through the Bricked Pit, not a creature was sober. Not in the least bit. All of their hatred would soon be laid bare because harsh criticism would soon be there. Out with the love for It's a Wonderful Life , Die Hard , A Miracle on 34th Street . On with the hate for Santa Claus: The Movie , Love Actually , Christmas with the Kranks , and Hallmark movies. Jos...

Adam thinks he knows why Josh hates

It's a lazy night. It's raining outside, and your ankle monitor keeps you in a ten yard radius of the sofa. The TV is there, and it's your friend. Time to flip through the channels and find something good to watch. Josh, Adam, and Jason discuss those films that make them put down the remote and pay attention.
