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.

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).
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.
Enjoy and welcome to the Fox Den Film Club!
