We’re Jake & Mitch, two lifelong pals on opposite coasts who love movies. Each week we recommend each other a film based on a prompt we choose. This leads to some fresh insight into each of our respective tastes as well as wildly different interpretations of both movies. Do Midsommar and Monsters Inc. work as a double feature? Is Titanic just Parasite set on a boat? Did Christopher Nolan steal all of his ideas from a lost French student film shot on a flip phone?
We try to keep things spoiler-free, so feel free to dive-in without seeing the movies beforehand if you’re on the fence, or watch along with us and see if Jake’s simply thinking way too deep about the color of the rug in the opening scene, or if Mitch somehow makes you realize that what you just watched was actually somehow like that other movie.
We hope our podcast encourages everyone to check out our favorite movies, seek out new ones, and above all, enjoy cinema.

When the OG Lego Star Wars dropped in 2005, everything changed for young Jake & Mitch. Now, an entire video game franchise later, the two break down a pair of movies that deserve the Lego game treatment. Are the results a vain attempt to relive the ecstasy of hearing Yoda’s AAUUGGHH death cry for the first time, or are they onto something FromSoftware & the Elden Ring team should be worried about? Let us know!
Jake selected Upgrade (2018, dir. Leigh Whannell)
Mitch selected Pleasantville (1998, dir. Gary Ross)
As always, it is not necessary to have seen either of these films prior to listening – but watching along with us could make it more fun! We try our best to avoid spoilers.

XMEN IS THE NEW SEX – Burrowing In Ep. 2
Come settle down after a grueling few weeks on this capitalist hellscape we call Earth to hang out with the boys, catch up, and talk about some movies we’ve seen lately! We’ll be back next week with a new episode of our Show Me a Film series, but for now, curl up and relax with the boys for a few fleeting moments of solace amidst the chaos.

There’s no relationship like that of siblings, and the same can surprisingly be said for two related films. But aside from iconic duos like Goodfellas and Casino, there’s also a cinematic equivalent of the emo, moody, less talked-about younger sibling – think the third Property Brother, but in movie form. This week, Jake and Mitch discuss the films which can’t help but stir things up at the dinner table and make grandma ruin Thanksgiving with some insane remark.
Jake selected Aniara (2018, dir. Pella Kågerman, Hugo Lilja) as the evil younger sibling of The Martian (2015, dir. Ridley Scott).
Mitch selected Blue Spring (2001, dir. Toshiaki Toyoda) as the evil younger sibling of Mean Girls (2004, dir. Mark Waters).

“Crispy enough to charge your phone.”
“Damn near stronger than liquor.”
“Could probably fry fish.”
In this surprisingly non-sponsored episode of the Fox Den Film Club we each discuss a film that feels like that first hit of an aggressively refreshing and paralyzingly sharp McDonald’s Sprite. For those craving a fast-paced or punchy sensation, we hope these films will quench your thirst.
Jake selected Speed Racer (2008, dir. Lilly Wachowski, Lana Wachowski).
Mitch selected Blindspotting (2018, dir. Carlos López Estrada).

Innocence, playfulness, and imagination on the big screen can provide us not only with a nostalgic dopamine rush but also help us reexamine our childhoods. Though we can’t recall our past lives like Uncle Boonmee, we certainly can reminisce upon the cul de sac where we grew up and reconnect – all through discussing our favorite movies.
In our fifth episode of the Fox Den Film Club we each discuss a film that reminds us of our childhood. For those seeking all those sentimental feelings, both good and bad, we hope these films can help you relive a piece of the past.
Jake selected The Spirit of the Beehive (1973, dir. Víctor Erice).
Mitch selected George Washington (2000, dir. David Gordon Green).

filmmakers often push the bounds of cinematic creativity through weird films. However, weird films can be a bit of a gamble since the obscurity doesn't always land. But boy oh boy, when it lands, it lands hard.
In our fourth episode of the Fox Den Film Club we each discuss a film that is so weird it works. For those who are seeking absurd comedy, these picks might just do the trick!
Jake selected Greener Grass (2019, dir. Jocelyn DeBoer, Dawn Luebbe).
Mitch selected Psycho Goreman (2020, dir. Steven Kostanski).

Pangzi from the film Yi Yi (2000) says it best: “Life is a mixture of happy and sad things. Movies are so lifelike - that's why we love them”
While trauma is a feeling that people typically want to avoid in their lives, some of us love to self-sabotage and seek it out in films. Allowing us to experience trauma and other negative emotions in the comfort of our homes can actually be a cathartic and even therapeutic experience.
In our third episode of the Fox Den Film Club we each discuss a film that traumatized us. For those who are seeking a very unique sensation, these picks might just do the trick!
Jake selected Blue Valentine (2010, dir. Derek Cianfrance).
Mitch selected Noriko’s Dinner Table (2005, dir. Sion Sono).

Do you ever wish you were back in high school? We don’t either. If you are currently in high school, about to start, or have pushed it out of your memory entirely, we all can agree that it can be a terrible time.
In our FIRST episode of the Fox Den Film Club we each discuss a film that we wish we could’ve seen while in high school. We hope that these films can also help you find a similar semblance of solace.
Jake selected Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020, dir. Eliza Hittman).
Mitch selected Being John Malkovich (1999, dir. Spike Jonze).
