603 | “The closer you look, the less you’ll see”
We’re back with an actual movie pod! This week we’re joined by special guest Ally to discuss the magic heist classic Now You See Me, starring Mark Zuckerberg as the tastefully named J. Daniel Atlas, lothario magician! A lot of people hated this movie, but we kinda dug it. There’s magic! And heists! And magic-fu fighting! And then the movie kinda runs out of steam. But still, a fun watch. Also, some spoilerific Game On, Trouble talk at the end, you’ve been warned!

602 | A Conversation about “Game On, Trouble”
No movie to talk about this time, we are indulging ourselves with an extended talk about our new book, “Game On, Trouble.” Joining us is beta reader Kayla, who watched the novel develop over a couple drafts. MASSIVE SPOILERS, obviously. If you haven’t read all the Trouble books yet, pause the pod, go read them, and come back before you listen!

No. 601 | Summer Blockbuster Round-up
The guys return to catch up on all the big ticket summer entertainment in movies and television. First we talk the legacyquel Twisters, starring Glen Powell, the girl from Normal People, and no kissing. Then, because we must, we discuss Deadpool and Wolverine, a feature-length Super Bowl commercial. We divert a little to talk about the recent ComicCon announcements for the MCU, and then shift to the small screen to cover Star Wars: The Acolyte. Finally, we wrap things up with a discussion of House of the Dragon.

No. 512 | “A mind-reading, shape-shifting agent of chaos.”
We went and saw Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One and then ran to the mics to discuss. Is it just us, or is the dynamic between Ethan Hunt, Ilsa Faust, and newcomer Grace (Hayley Atwell) just so, so weird? SPOILERS ABOUND YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

No. 511 | “I miss the desert. I miss the sea.”
Happy Fourth, listeners. We dragged ourselves to the mics to discuss Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (12:46). It was… fine. Also discussed: our plans for Cruel Summer season 2. *whip-crack noise!*

No. 510 | “Burglekutt, you’re troll dung!”
The guys return with a very timely episode on the 1988 fantasy film Willow, and they’re joined by special guest Kayla. JT had never seen this movie, but it’s close to Kayla’s heart. This one goes off the rails in a hurry.

No. 509 | “As if!”
It’s a Bros Watch PLL Too crossover episode, the Bros are joined by Kate to talk about the grandmother of all modern teen movies: Amy Heckerling’s Clueless. The Girl from the Aerosmith video shows limitless charm as Cher, the ditzy queen of Bronson Alcott High, and the stellar supporting cast of future stars makes this teen retelling of “Emma” a classic.

No. 507 | “You can be my wingman anytime”
The guys are back to talk about some recent films and their general disaffected ennui with the state of TV and the Cinema (4:40). Then they travel back to a simpler time of F-14 Tomcats, bomber jackets, and baby oil, to discuss Top Gun (12:24). Plus, a short Trouble update at the end (1:45:49).

No. 506 | “You’re a weird guy”
The bros return to talk about The Batman and the new season of Star Trek: Picard (2:53), before diving deep into the murky, sloppy depths of Deep Water, the Ben Affleck, Ana de Armas erotic thriller from Adrian Lyne (37:06). Dang, it’s real bad.

No. 505 | “It’s not sexy like it should be, Jack”
We’re back! Happy New Year, everyone! We stumbled and crawled and pulled our aging corpses back to the mics to pinch off 2021 with a long overdue look at one of our favorite movies of all time: Boogie Nights (52:05). Also, we briefly touch on all the stuff that’s come out in the past few months. Watch for Spider-Man and Hawkeye spoilerz.

No. 504 | “We are the weirdos, mister”
Flashback to 1996 for a charming little moving about witches and unpronounceable spirits. It’s The Craft! (15:56) A more innocent time when pleather meant you were dangerous, and $175 grand was a lot of money. We’re joined by special guest Demi to re-examine an old cult favorite that defined witches for a generation.

No. 503 | “Woman! Whoa, man!”
This week on the pod, we’re joined by Savannah as we continue through 90s month with So I Married an Axe Murderer (18:49). What is Charlie’s job in this movie? How does a poet who does one reading a month live in SF with a fancy roadster car? How did Harriet become a butcher? Please enjoy this blast from the past when Mike Myers’s Scottish accent was still funny.

No. 502 | “What came first, the music or the misery?”
This week on the pod we’re talking High Fidelity (14:33), the John Cusack music snob epic that made Jack Black a star, and The Beta Band a meme. We’re joined by special guest Kayla as we relive the innocent time before 9/11 and Pitchfork.

No. 501 | “You’re a handsome devil, what’s your name?”
We’re back! It’s Season Five of Headcanon, and we’re kicking it off with a trip back to the 90s where even hitmen deserve a second shot. Grosse Pointe Blank is an underrated classic, and we can’t stop quoting lines from it two decades later.

No. 019 | “[Joker blows raspberry]”
Ugh. Fine. We watched this stupid Justice League re-cut (39:19). It’s still bad. This podcasts is over three hours long and it’s still shorter than this turgid pile of garbage. Cruel Summer is great, tho.

No. 018 | “My whole life is a dark room”
This week on the pod, we will go insane and we will take you with us! We’re joined by special guest Savannah to talk about bizarre 80s classic Beetlejuice. (15:09) How did this get made? How is this rated PG?? How did this get embraced as mainstream entertainment??? We have no idea, but we dig it.

No. 017 | “Aman-duh!!”
This week on the pod we welcome back Kayla to return to another 90s teen classic: Can’t Hardly Wait! (21:13) Preston Meyers is kind of a creep. The kid from Hook has some problematic revenge ideas. And the Girl Whose Party It Is can hang with us anytime. In conclusion: two words: Mike Dexter.

No. 016 | “You sack of wine!”
We want what all podcasts want, we just want it more. We’re talking Troy (Director’s Cut) from 2004 (23:49). Feast your eyes on those tanned, bronzed chests, luxuriant, oiled hair, and gratuitous gore and violence. Brad Pitt’s Achilles was born to end lives while doing blue steel surfer bro pouting. Also, we’ve got a SPOILER-y discussion of the series finale of WandaVision at the top (06:24). Enjoy!
