The Kick

Colleges are supposed to be among the most accepting and inclusive environments in the country, but this week, we focus on three fictional institutions that took it too far. Noah and Chance discuss three movies about "students" who are treading water, faking it or just want the trappings of university life. It's "22 Jump Street" (2014), "Old School" (2003) and "Van Wilder" (2002) taking their "Be...

Noah and Chance watched three movies that, in their own ways, pull back some Hollywood veil. "Tropic Thunder" (2008) yells, shocks and offends its way to memorable moments of famous people doing insane things. Through a "sight" gag, Woody Allen's "Hollywood Ending" (2002) is an old artist's take on how the old studio system worked. And 2000's "State and Main" takes the writer's side in a story of...

It's ratings at all cost on this week's episode — Noah and Chance watched three movies where disturbed souls are anchoring TV shows against their own will or the network's better judgment. Through "The Truman Show" (1998), "Network" (1976) and "Welcome To Me" (2014), we trace the power of the 20th century media monster and ask when and how these movies may stop resonating. Plus, is "Truman Show" t...

Noah and Chance went to theaters to see the David Foster Wallace-portraying "The End of the Tour." Then, they watched two more movies — "The Hours" (2002) and "Howl" (2010) — about famous authors struggling with their art, the people reading it and themselves.

Strap on your pack and let's go on a long and arduous hike together through three movies about characters finding themselves amid outdoor obstacles. Noah and Chance discuss "Wild" (2014), "Into The Wild" (2007), and "127 Hours" (2010). But, for godsake, tell someone where you're going.

In this episode, Noah and Chance watched a trio of thrillers about falsely accused murderers. First, a long and confusing conversation about the long and confusing 2014 film adaptation of "Gone Girl." Then, a celebration of 1993's "The Fugitive" and Harrison Ford's mid-late-career desperation turn. Finally, a review of a regular basic cable customer, 1998's "The Negotiator." They all didn't kill ....

The release of Amy Schumer's "Trainwreck" is the latest example of an acclaimed TV persona trying to jump to the big screen and mass appeal. In this episode, Noah and Chance review "Trainwreck" and evaluate how that first starring film role went (or if it even mattered) for Tina Fey and Jennifer Aniston.

Say, what's on your mind? Your cute, anthropomorphic feelings? Yourself as both a little boy and a baroque demon? Precious relationship memories disappearing in reverse? Noah and Chance are back from the summer holidays reviewing three movies set inside the mind: Pixar's new "Inside Out," the 2004 cult hit "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and 2000's horrifying, JLo-led "The Cell."

This episode is certain to drive kids out of their minds! Chance and Noah attempt to patent, package and slap their opinions on a proverbial lunch box by breaking down the watchability of the Jurassic Park sequels--including "Jurassic World." And the results are as carnage-filled as The San Diego Incident. Don't miss Chance's defensiveness when his child-like wonder is threatened or the boys' rant...

As the baseball season heats up, Chance and Noah step up to the plate to discuss three films that explore the often-alienating nature of America's pastime: "Million Dollar Arm," "A League of Their Own" and "The Natural." Don't miss Noah rambling on about the importance of chastity in the American hero myth, Chance's monologue about drunk-watching the beloved children's film "Angels in the Outfield...

In this episode, Chance and Noah discuss the morality and complications of willing life back into the decaying corpses of once-successful film ideas 20 years after their initial release: "Mad Max: Fury Road," "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," and "The Color of Money."

They may be right, they may be crazy — but they definitely want to show you something. Noah and Chance watched 1986's "The Fly," 2000's "Finding Forrester" and 2015's "Ex Machina" for an episode about reclusive geniuses taking an outsider into their beds, lairs and labs.

Don't mind all those weapons in the corner — we're covering scientific expeditions gone awry in this week's trio of movies. Noah and Chance watched "Prometheus," "Stargate" and "Sphere."

Noah and Chance shift into high gear for an episode about movie characters living through their cars. Press play for a discussion of "Drive" and "The Fast And The Furious," plus a spirited debate about whether "Gone In Sixty Seconds" is the perfectly-mapped action movie or a drug tweaker's nightmare.

Recorded in Brooklyn after a few cocktails, Chance and Noah discuss films dealing with people returning home after a loved one has died. In the cross-hairs this week are "This is Where I Leave You," "The Big Chill," and "Garden State." With specific mentions for Zach Braff's vanity, Tina Fey's seriousness and Dax Shepard's penis.

Noah and Chance watch "In The Line of Fire," "White House Down" and "Murder at 1600." Then, they ask the tough questions. Like: "Does Clint Eastwood have hip sockets?" and "Is this Roland Emmerich's best movie in 15 years? What does that even mean?"
