Well, this is it. Its our send off episode. We chose to do so with a little forgotten Jack Black gem as well as one of the few times Mos Def was on the big screen. I can think of no better film to end this podcast with than with one that has such love for filmmaking.

Perhaps the only movie to actually earn the moniker "head trip". We take a trip through the mind of Malkovich as understood by the mind of Charlie Kaufman. We had a lot of fun with this one.

Sometimes even celebrities need to do crowdfunding. That is especially true when you made Garden State. But in a sure sign of maturity, this one isn't stupid bullshit and interweaves the grappling with faith that is mostly absent from Jewish movie characters.

We may have watched a children's movie again, but this was actually good. Probably one of the better movies that we've watched. We also learned the best part about meeting your child when you've been cursed to live as a half man, half beetle. They get older and you stay the same age.

We've been watching some kind of heavy movies lately, so we mixed it up by watching a romcom. This was an interesting twist on the typical structure, though still references some well known tropes, including the ideas behind Cyrano de Bergerac and The Parent Trap

Do the rich really deserve all that money? Of course not. But what is the best way to separate the two? Well, one and a half bozos are going to try and infiltrate Silicon Valley to do so in a mostly legitimate way...getting investments fraudulently.

Its dark. Its moody. Its a fuck you to all the bullshit of the "respectable" world and also the underbelly. This bad bitch does things her way. On a mostly unrelated note, we recorded this before "jorkin' my peanits" got revitalized with regards to the US election

Let's take a trip overseas to a foreign film made in the great white north. Gorgeous animation to soften a terrible reality, this one promises to be like very little you've ever seen before.

This is a personal favorite of Kyle's. This is a movie that could not be today because technology is only incidentally beneficial to the average person post like 2012. We also probably reference the most number of our past episode movies in this one.

Be careful what you wish for, because Sophia wanted grounded interpersonal drama stories that speak to the human condition. While this does meet the criteria, it is unmistakably tainted by one character's chronic use of ganja. So everything he says has that annoying quality of thinking its more worthwhile than it is.

You've got a talented actress and a funny actor, yet somehow, this is a very dull movie. These are the kind of writers who are good at descriptions but not dialogue. Anyway, its the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

We kept referencing it, so it was finally time to review it. A tad more style over substance, when we finally looked at it closely there is a lot to be said. It just doesn't always execute it as well as it could.
