It's 1997, and the cost of a matinee movie in Bloomington, IN is $4.50. You know what else you can get for that low, low price? A sneak peek at Dirk Diggler's (Mark Wahlberg's) penis, for only $5 in the film Boogie Nights! Brandon and Megan discuss if this is still a good price adjusting for inflation, and so much more!

Nothing would make our lives less ordinary than watching another romcom that's a semi-ripoff of Excess Baggage (falling in love with your kidnapper) and My Best Friend's Wedding (Cameron Diaz doing karaoke). Also, there's angels and heaven is a police station. And that's the movie Brandon and Megan watched this week, A Life Less Ordinary!

Have you ever needed a list of things that make you gay (tucking in your shirt all the way) or not gay (standing up straight but also back pain?) in 1990s Indiana? Look no further than this week's movie, In & Out. But before we get there, Brandon and Megan discuss their love of movies within movies and bemoan the lack of Barbra Streisand songs.

Brandon and Megan dive into the esteemed study of Seagalogy with the one and very only option at the theaters, Fire Down Below. We learn about beekeeping attire, the job responsibilities of EPA agents, and also why it's called a four-poster bed. (Actually, we didn't really solve that one. Thanks, Mark McGrath!)

This week, Brandon and Megan watched the kiddie version of Die Hard: Masterminds. It may not be a cult classic, but it does have possibly the most iconic 90s opening we've ever seen! But first, we waffle through some dubious choices for next week's Labor Day weekend movie pick, and inexplicably discuss the ABCU (Air Bud Cinematic Universe) at length.

We knew we should have stayed home today! But instead, Brandon and Megan take a trip to the far reaches of space and indeed, the Event Horizon. But what is an event horizon? And do aliens believe in ghosts (or vice versa)? Should you really be smoking on a spaceship? All this, plus we discuss the Boxcar Children.

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger (movie rewatch podcast). Can Brandon and Megan take your order? Or perhaps, interest you in their own fast food burger taste test? If not that, how about an etymology lesson on the word "mondo"?

This week, Brandon and Megan return to the oeuvre of their very first episode: Jackie Chan movies! We watched Operation Condor, also known as Armor of God II, but in the US it's #1 and Armor of God I is #2. Got it? Megan mispronounces and forgets more vocabulary words than usual, and Brandon kind of but not really went to college with Jackie Chan's son!

It's the Fourth of July and Brandon and Megan watched Men in Black. However, we definitely have mixed feelings about the patriotism of a movie that's about a shadowy organization that constantly monitors, harasses, and polices refugees - even if they are aliens from another planet. Abolish ICE!

It's not about hockey, but it could be called Freaky Friday for the boys: this week, Brandon and Megan watched Face/Off! First, we debate which celebrity we'd most like to pilot our plane, but then it's the big question - could you recognize your face . . . off?
