This week on the podcast we’re living the good life as we talk about Crazy Rich Asians, directed by Jon M. Chu and starring Constance Wu, Henry Golding, and the wonderful Michelle Yeoh. There’s a lot to like in this lavish film, but it’s not without its problems. Special guest Gabriel Figueroa helps us break down what worked, and what didn’t.
Sam explores how we can be kind to both ourselves and the little people we love in this episode.

This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Graham “Orange” Mason, and Nick “Peach” Friedemann talk about rockets full of poo, and about how “Firestarter” looks and sounds like Nick. That’s right, they’re talking about What Goes Down, Must Come Up.
This was another episode I wasn’t too sure of at first because it was so incredibly dark. Now, I think its amazing and it shows how the original team venture including Jonas were fucking terrible people.

This week on the podcast the gang has some Bad Times at the El Royale, by which we mean they had a good time because this movie was pretty great. Lot of fun visual imagery and a lot of interesting twists and turns, with a fantastic acting turn from Jeff Bridges. Justin Thiele joins us to talk about the stylish romp from Drew Goddard.
Sam answers questions about rough roommates, fake friends, and spends some time talking about KonMari and Lord of the Rings’ shared philosophy.

This week on the show Bryan Dressel, Graham “Pineapple” Mason, and Nicholas “Starfruit” Friedemann enter the lull of season three, which continues next week as well. There’s some funny stuff to be had in this evergreen episode, but coming off of some really strong episodes it’s a bit of a letdown. Ayyy! Enjoy!
When I first saw this episode I hated it. I really felt like it was a low point for season 3. After watching it again and being a much more mature person I have grown to like the episode. Many have childhood dramas that can handicap us as adults and keep us from happiness. That’s what this episode is about. Maybe it’s not a blueprint to overcoming those dramas but it’s definitely there to help us identify them.

Stephen King is mostly known as a horror writer; however, he has ventured into other genres on numerous occasions, although mostly with shorter stories. He wrote an anthology of short stories that made up the collection Different Seasons. One of the stories in this collection was called “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption”, which writer and director Frank Darabont would option for $5,000 and turn into one of the most celebrated motion pictures of all time.

This week on the podcast we have a bit of a Predator problem. Namely, that the new Predator movie is called THE PREDATOR. You’d think after enough of these movies they would want to reduce the confusion, not add to it. Anyway, this movie is a bit of a mess so we brought in friend of the show Erik Steffens to help us figure out what worked and what didn’t.
Twenty years ago a little movie from reportedly douche bag director, Troy Duffy, hit the scene. For years to come shitty posters have lined the walls of undergrad male’s dormitories, while they all scream about how great this movie was, and how you should see it, because only they have seen it, and they want to introduce you to its amazingness… If you listen to
For my research, I’ll look the trailer. Like the majority of you, I only ever saw the trailer on the DVD copy my mom bought me. At the time, I thought it was awful. It shows the whole movie! It shows the best scenes! It gives nearly everything away! And to the 16 – 25 year old crowd this movie is singularly targeted for, this is horrible. To everyone else, thank god the trailer shows as much as it does, or no one would ever watch it. The movie is a hard sell to the most receptive crowd, so in my opinion, the trailer does its job. This isn’t some religious propaganda movie, nor is it insulting religion, we get that. This movie will have fun violence that is shot differently, we get that too. The movie has a pretty good sense of humor, we kinda sorta get that. All in all if this was a movie coming out today, and I saw this trailer I’d see it. I’d wait for video, but I’d see it.
I realize I came across really negative on the movie… uh… I regret nothing.
Also I still own the DVD.
That my mom bought for my birthday…
