Hey YouFFers (we may need a contest to decide on a better name for you loyal fans), we're back for a Wednesday romp with returning guest Brad Coffman. The man lives a life highly informed by the 4-man army known as the Ghostbusters, so he's here to talk about the movie that started it all. I mention up top in this one that our very own musician-in-residence Richard Bates has a new album out: Bates...

We're talking MCU for the first time today, people. Knowing my friends, it won't be the last. But for my money, we're kicking off with the cream of the crop in Black Panther. Coming off the Oscar success of Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, and the rest of the Sinners team, we thought it would be a great time to bring you our thoughts on this earlier collaboration. This movie gets deep,...

Join Paul Sparacello, who has unwittingly been my friend for over a quarter century, for an exploration of An American Werewolf in London, a movie that we argue does about the best job possible of combining comedy and horror into one tasty package. (Tasty is a werewolf joke...because they bite people...you know. Fine, I'll stop.) We're going up to two shows each week on a trial basis. This...

Welcome to the long-awaited premiere of co-producer Julia Mott to whom I am lucky enough to be married. We're digging into Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece in this one. (That's right. I called it his masterpiece. Come at me!) We have a lot of fun in this one focusing on our favorite sequences, a few of the many outstanding performances, as well as trying to figure out what the heck QT is up to, in...

Here's our first special just in time for this weekends Oscar ceremony. This one is me flying solo on mic, as I take you through my personal favorites for eleven of the biggest categories (we even included editing for Brother Jeff, despite his being officially dead to this podcast). Please know that these are my personal favorites and not predictions. If you try to fill out your Oscar pools wi...

Welcome back! Join Barrett Landen and I for a fun discussion of late-80's comedy classic Uncle Buck today. We talk about the lasting appeal of John Candy and John Hughes, the budding genius of Macaulay Culkin, and how this movie pulls at the heartstrings while making us laugh.

Join us on the bridge of the Enterprise as we discuss my favorite Star Trek move, The Wrath of Khan. I'm joined by Joe Shorter, a friend, fellow nerd (he owns it), and supporter of the show right out of the gates. While we do get a little nerdy, the core of our conversation is about the themes and ideas presented in this low-budget, by big sci-fi standards, scrappy masterpiece. We have some fu...

Join us for a fun cross-country ride with Brad Coffman as we discuss Martin Brest's 1988 buddy road comedy Midnight Run. We'll talk about performance, Robert de Niro's and Charles Grodin's leads of course, but also the incredible supporting cast. We hit on funny moments, but most importantly, we spend time talking about the relationships that drive this heartfelt film. Our music is...

This week I'm joined by my brother, professional film editor Jeffrey Glaser for a discussion of a shared childhood favorite, Raising Arizona. It's not an overstatement to say that this is one of the movies that got Jeff and me into how and why movies work. We have a lot of fun and take advantage of his expertise to get a little technical too. I hope you enjoy! Next week, we're going to...

Join us for a discussion of David Fincher's "Se7en" with my friend Michael Young. Michael came extra- prepared and gets deep into scenes, themes and characters. He made me think about a movie I've seen a bunch in some ways I never had before. For those who want to view ahead of time, next week's episode will feature full-time professional film editor and part-time amateur bro...

Welcome to our debut episode. In this one, we discuss 90's food dramedy classic "Big Night" with my good friend Chris Bravender.
