The Other Half

Remember Me came out at the height of Twilight. Robert Pattinson was quickly getting painted into a heartthrob weirdo instead of just an indie movie weirdo that we all know and love! But we know Twilight is bad in a fun way, but what about the other romantic movies he's in? Well lucky for us we also get Chris Cooper and Pierce Brosnan in the film as well! Plus we have Belle from a show Mike an...

No longer joined by Ricardo, Ethan and Mike must find a new reason to continue recording. Just like how Rocky had to find himself in Rocky Balboa. A lot of time has passed since the last Rocky movie. Rocky Jr is all grown up, a major character died, and Rocky now has a restaurant! The world keeps changing, but Rocky's core values are timeless! Listen to find out if this franchise ACTUALLY ends...

Rocky V is the last Rocky movie before a long break in the series. It's an odd way to end the series. In this movie, Rocky takes Mick's place and starts training Tommy Gunn, who starts doing really well at boxing! He is so proud of him that he forgot to talk to his very own son! Rocky wants to get back out there. But he's too old. So now it's time to live vicariously through a guy...

Rocky IV is maybe the most iconic movie of the Rocky series. And maybe where the series should have stopped. Rocky faces off against Ivan Drago from the Soviet Union in a battle for American freedom! I'm the unsilent majority here when I say this movie has a killer soundtrack, an amazing robot, Paulie at his best, and of course James Brown. Ricardo returns to guide us through another Rocky mov...

Rocky is a champion in Rocky III! He has it all, cars, a nice house, a loving family, but something is missing. Oh that's right he's gonna have one more fight and then retire. This time for sure. This time his opponent is Clubber Lang played by Mr. T. Who actually gives the Italian Stallion a run for his money! In fact, it shakes him and his family unit to its core! Except Paulie who can d...

Rocky is back for a rematch with Apollo Creed in Rocky II! We needed extra help with this episode so we called in long-time guest and massive Rocky fan Ricardo to give us a hand with this movie. Rocky faces a world without the need for him except for his fighting ability. Yet, he doesn't want to do physical labor. He stuck to his guns until Apollo took out a newspaper ad calling him the Stalli...

We can't stop with Stallone so let's dive into his most famous franchise, Rocky! Let's just say while this movie won an academy award, some parts of it are a bit of a rocky road. Join us on this wild ride as we explore the franchise that started in 1976 and is still running, in spin-off form, to this day.

For Sylvester Stallone's birthday, we went Over The Top and watched a movie that even he hates! How could it be bad? It's the most manly movie around! It's all about arm wrestling, driving your truck, and being a pretty bad dad! Can we get a heck yeah for Sylvester Stallone only agreeing to be in this movie for the money and the fact that "no one will see it anyway"? Looks like...

Shame Netflix doesn't put out its movies on physical media anymore, because it would be excellent to have someone rent Bird Box from Red Box. We watched Bird Box for the podcast since the new Bird Box: Barcelona was announced. We wanted to see if this movie actually did deserve a sequel. A sequel following someone who isn't Sanda Bullock. Hope she's okay. Depending on how this movie go...

Finally, we watch the latest installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast X. Apparently it's the beginning of the end. We hop back into Ethan's sedan to record our immediate thoughts on this movie. That's right it's another car cast y'all! We talked about a movie with cars inside of a car! Will this movie finally convert Mike over to the family?? Check out https://shop.t...

Happy 4th of July! What's more American than 1776? A time when a bunch of sweaty horney men got into a room and said they didn't wanna listen to King George anymore. That pesky tyrant! Now let's just add some musical numbers, imagine what these founding fathers said to one another and of course have some dream sequences with their wives. Finally, we have the American dream encapsulated...

Renfield was the start of the whole "In the Nic of Time" month we've been doing. It's Nic's most recent film where he finally gets to play Dracula. A character he always wanted to be. The movie's premise seems novel as well. Frame Dracula's familiar, Renfield, as being in the center of an abusive relationship with a narcissist. Comedy is guaranteed to ensure right? Chec...

Guarding Tess was recommended by Pedro Pascal's character in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent . "In the Nic of Time" continues with Nic Cage guarding an ex-first first lady named Tess. It's an odd movie all about the dynamic between secret service agents and ex-politicians. Is it as good as Pedro Pascal says it is? Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help supp...

"In the Nic of Time" continues with The Old Way! A western movie most people have never heard about. Most likely because it was only released in a few theaters and went straight to VOD! Nic Cage plays the rough reformed bad guy and you can honestly guess the rest of the plot. But hey Nic Cage gives it his all despite the poor scripts, bland cinematography, other actors, ect. Check out http...

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is apparently Nic Cage! So let's dedicate a whole month to him with "In the Nic of Time" where we'll be going through a majority of his newer movies. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent stars Nic Cage playing Nic Cage. Some aspects of his life were changed, but his filmography has not. It starts off as a nice quiet movie between Pedro Pas...

The Worst Person in the World follows Julie, who is having a quarterish life crisis. She hasn't found what she wants out of her life! Maybe it will take some people in her life to help her understand what it is she truly wants. Then she won't exactly be the worst person in the world anymore. Renate Reinsve, who plays our titular character, won some awards for best actress, and the movie it...

My Date With The President's Daughter is the movie that Disney wants to forget. Maybe because nowadays the president isn't just some goofy guy that people love. The world is too real for a film like this now. So take a back seat and enjoy some '90s nostalgia about what it's like being a President's daughter and how your dad's biggest flaw is that he's just too busy! It&...

We're watching The Fugitive for the podcast, but you don't care. This blockbuster hit movie starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones is a classic in American cinema, but does the movie from 1993 hold up? Or should we not care about it anymore?

We made it to the final Underworld movie, Underworld: Blood Wars. What will Selene do when she STILL can't find her lover Micheal AND Eve? Sadly she still has to be stuck with David and go on a Game of Thrones-like adventure! Maybe this final movie will get Mike to turn around on his hatred for this series. Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your r...

Underworld: Awakening just awakened these boys to all the possibilities of the Underworld franchise! What if instead of Micheal there was a new hot guy? What if instead of Bill Neigh, there was a DIFFERENT older British vampire? What if they actually started entering the real world? What if a PANDEMIC happened and humans got really involved in the lycan and vampire wars? All of these changes make...

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans fills us in on all the important little details that were set up in the first Underworld movie. It suffers ALL of the issues that come with prequels. Every single one. This is why people are skeptical when prequels are announced. We don't want to see backstories about something we heard in passing during a previous movie. We want to see NEW ideas and places where...

The boys continue the Underworld franchise with Underworld: Evolution. In this sequel, we get to learn what became of Micheal and Selene who need to tell the original vampire about Kraven's treachery! At least that's how the movie starts out. From there it's a mess of events that just keep on happening. "Needlessly complicated" as Mike would put it. Check out https://shop.theot...

It's time for another Watch Till You Can't with the Underworld franchise. There were so many of these movies. Five in total. Will the boys make it to the end of this series that's filled with guns, vampires, and werewolves? Or will they fail to complete the transformation of becoming Underworld experts? Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get yo...

What better film to watch on our 420th episode than How High?? Okay maybe there are quite a few better stoner comedies, but it's time to watch a movie Ethan remembers from his young teen years. Well remembers watching, but doesn't remember at all. Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!

Mr. police I gave you all the clues! The Snowman is a movie set in Norway about Micheal Fassbender having one of the most bully-able names in human history while also trying to solve murders. This movie has so many scenes in it where it just doesn't make a lick of sense. It's one of the weirdest bad movies we've seen in quite some time. Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ t...
