Episode 147: Arachnophobia 30.10.2025 48:34
It's our annual Halloween episode, and this year we are digging in to the second scariest spider movie of all time (behind Eight Legged Freaks, of course). John Goodman puts on a performance to remember and Jesse gets the chills just thinking about those things crawling all over his skin. Nobody dresses up once again. **This one is dedicated to the memory of Henry.
Episode 146: Gymkata 23.10.2025 50:22
Oh, it's called Gymkata because of the GYM-nastics element of the film. I get it now. Huge film of 1985, Gymkata was Olympian Kurt Thomas' big breakout role. His only breakout role. His only role. It was a movie and we talked about it, and we also had a big life changing announcement halfway through. Happy Spooky month!
Episode 145: Pet Sematary 16.10.2025 50:43
Yes, I know that's not how you spell cemetary but this is Stephen King's book and Stephen King's mess of a movie. It's Halloween month, and this week's spooky film has to do with resurrecting pets and then maybe humans. Actually, don't watch the film. Instead, go be with your families. Hug them, don't bury their dead body in an ancient burial ground. Enjoy!
Episode 144: Sisu 09.10.2025 51:13
Fnally, a Finnish John Wick movie. Man and dog try to survive in 1944 against a bunch of bad people who may or may not fight for a really bad guy. Who will win? How many times will Jesse mention that he's going "hands free" for the episode? Lots of questions and few answers! Enjoy!
Episode 143: The Mighty Peking Man 02.10.2025 57:27
In honour of Jane Goodall and her untimely passing at the tender age of 91, we decided to watch her favourite monkey movie from the year 1977, The Mighty Peking Man. She found the cheetah scenes the most hilarious.
Episode 142: Clue 25.09.2025 53:48
Love board games? Love murder mysteries? Love podcasts? Love cats? Love trivia? Love obscure early 2000's horror movies filmed in and around your hometown? Love Lady Gaga? Love Tim Curry? Love headphones? Love finding out which actor has appeared in the most movies we've watched for the podcast? Love love?
Episode 141: Over The Top 18.09.2025 56:16
It's 1987 and you're at the movie theater. You love Sylvester Stallone. You drove here in your giant 18 wheeler truck and last week you beat a kid in a sanctioned arm wrestling event. This is your heaven. Also what a wild episode this was. Everything was backwards but it could be described as an all-timer.
Episode 140: We're No Angels 04.09.2025 50:38
The boys are back after a summer holiday only to watch this STUNNER of a film with THREE legends on the screen. De Niro? Check. Penn? Check. DEMI FREAKIN' MOORE? You betch your bottom dollar. Could we see our first 10/10 movie score? This episode could change the way movies are rated in the future!
Episode 139: Anora 21.08.2025 53:12
Finally, the boys watched the Best Picture Winner from the 2024 edition of the Academy Awards. It won a lot. Was it a winner in the eyes of these two buffoons? A lot to discuss.
Episode 138: The Edge 14.08.2025 54:09
Imagine being in a small plane and being attacked by a bunch of geese which crashes your plane and you land in the forests of Alaska only to be eaten by the best bear actor to ever live. Well that's what happens and more when Alec Baldwin and Sir Anthony Hopkins learn to live and love again. Watch The Edge, on DisneyPlus, now streaming.
Episode 137: Dogma 07.08.2025 53:24
The boys get religious with the 1999 Kevin Smith film Dogma. Sure, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are also in it, but Alan Rickman and an unnamed singer (spoiler) steal the show. We also catch up after an illness threatened to end a certain podcast host's life. The flu ain't no joke, y'all.
Episode 136: The Night of the Hunter 24.07.2025 36:09
Another beautiful July night has us watching another interesting movie from the middle of the twentieth century. Quite a rambunctious episode where we actually end up rating and reviewing three different movies, before going on some tangents about driving and other stuff.
Episode 135: Rope 17.07.2025 50:04
It's been a hot week so we thought we'd cool down with this Hitchcock classic about killing your pal and stuffing him in a box and then serving a dinner party on the box to unsuspecting guests. A good time was had, three cats made appearances and we talk about what's on Jesse's deck.
Episode 134: Everything Is Illuminated 10.07.2025 54:21
The first podcast in the new house goes swimmingly as tahe internet is fast and the movies are good. Refreshed after a moving day from hell, the boys return to answer a months worth of Jeopardy questions and ruin season 12 of Survivor for you. We catch up and get serious about films. It's a new chapter!
Episode 133: Moving 26.06.2025 52:54
Your Mother Ate My Dog went pretty meta this week and watched a movie called Moving as they are moving in real life. It's crazy, but it's just what you can expect every week from the podcast. Other stuff was discussed as well, mostly naps and the science behind how they only work a certain percentage of the time, but honestly it was mostly moving related.
Episode 132: Sugar & Spice 19.06.2025 53:48
It's the 4th annual birthday episode for Jesse and it does not disappoint. A real milkshake, you could say. Talks about moving, movies, Survivor and more has this episode feeling like a real celebration. Plus Sugar & Spice wasn't even that bad.
Episode 131: The Goonies 05.06.2025 51:32
The Goonies is a classic film from 1985, which came out before we were even born. We missed the Goonies train and never were in a spot where it was natural to just sit down and watch this film. Until now. There is a special guest host for a few minutes, so that's exciting. Also a lot of moving talk, and I know this is a movie podcast and not a moving podcast, but for the month of June this is...
Episode 130: Willow 29.05.2025 54:31
Your Mother Ate My Dog finally watched Willow, a fantasy movie from the 1980's starring Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer. No internet issues today! The boys talk about moving, corn, Survivor and Canada Post is not on strike.
Episode 129: The Monkey 22.05.2025 59:46
The Monkey is a movie based off of a Stephen King short story which was released in the year 2025. I asked Chat GPT to write a description for the episode, but they declined. The boys are back to discuss engagements, possible strike action, and the weather in Penticton. Enjoy!
Episode 128: The City of Lost Children 08.05.2025 52:15
Warning: French film upcoming. It was Jesse's turn, and he picked the 1995 follow up hit to Delicatessen (see Episode 98), which was a subtitle-only film. We riffed for a long time and talked about the movie briefly, but it was good to catch up. We learn that cars are expensive, and our lives are following a parallel path. What's next?
Episode 127: Killer Klowns From Outer Space 24.04.2025 50:03
You asked for it and we delivered! This kult klassic from the year of our lord (Easter reference) 1988 had us terrified but that was mostly because of the bad acting. Everything else was pretty good though. We dig deep into politics in the back half of the show and talk about Walton Goggins and what makes his look the most desirable for the upcoming summer season!
Episode 126: In Bruges 17.04.2025 37:34
The boys travel to Belgium this week to take in the sights and watch their iconic film, In Bruges. An episode wouldn't be complete without technical difficulties, but they brave though and put out an action packed tight episode. Easter edition!
Episode 125: The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension 10.04.2025 49:38
The only thing longer and more confusing than the name of the film is probably the entire movie. It was insane, but there were some stand out performances, mainly from John Lithgow and Jeff Goldblum. Also the podcast hosts, Josh and Jesse, put in some work this episode, which we hope our Facebook comments appreciate.
Episode 44: Spice World 09.04.2025 44:54
The boys have finally done it: admitted their love for 1990's girl groups, specifically, the critically acclaimed band "Spice Girls" consisting of Baby, Posh, Scary, Sporty, and the unfortunately named Ginger. Turns out, her hair is red, but the film of the week, "Spice World", makes us see that they aren't all just stereotypes of their names. A surprisingly fun movie to watch and talk about, and...
Episode 124: Reign Of Fire 27.03.2025 51:50
Double M McConaughey and Christian Bale star in this thriller about dragons that we had never heard of until an innocent conversation at work turned our worlds upside down. Dragons are so crazy man, and they were just living underground in 2008 until we accidentally woke them up, and they reached their peak in 2020 until a brave English (not Australian) man saved humanity with his strength and qui...
