Snobbies, we are here for pick number 2 for SUMMER CAMP MOVIES, this is Cody’s pick and he chose a movies that reminded him of his summers with scouts. So Cody picked the Daniels directed, “Swiss Army Man.” We were very very unsure about this film after watching it, but the more we talked about it, the more it unfolded into something very interesting. We talked about the directors, the deeper themes, and the issue of uncomfortability. We hope you watch and enjoy!

SNOBBIES! Welcome to the new topic of the month, SUMMER CAMP MOVIES! Today we have Caleb’s pick and he swung for the fences. Choosing to decipher “Camp Greenlake,” as a camp, we will be watching Andrew Davis’s, “Holes.” This film is a great nostalgic pick and something that all of us hold close in our hearts. Yelnats! ZERO! ARMPIT! Jon Voight! Is this the greatest Voight performance of all time?!?! I submit that it is! We loved talking about this film while drinking peach drink and eating onions. Enjoy it with us!

Ladies and GENTLEMEN who like it hot, we have quite the pick from a disgruntled Snob, Jared. He was NOT happy with the previous picks and even went as far as to say that they made him feel PETTY not PRETTY. But today we have Jared’s pick from 1959 and from director Billy Wilder, “Some Like it Hot.” This film stars Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe! We have a good time talking about just why this pick is so good and how it makes us feel pretty inside and outside. Join us for the discussion as we delve in!

Here. We. GO!!! Snobbies, we have the third film in the I FEEL PRETTY theme. This pick comes from Eric and from Director Tarsem Singh comes, “The Fall.” This film split the snobs up the middle. Eric enjoyed it, Caleb and Cody liked it sort of, and Jared did not like it. He was feeling petty and wanted better picks for this topic. We REALLY get into it and talk through this EPIC story. The shots in this film are absolutely insane and we hope you ENJOY!

Welcome back Snobbies. Today we have a great little flick for I FEEL PRETTY. Caleb chose a film that he thought looked pretty and created a very beautiful scene to look at. From director Justin Kurzel, “Macbeth.” This film is a tough watch if you have ever tried to watch Shakespeare adaptations before. This one was unique and we talked through how this film made us feel and Jared shares his thoughts on just how much he hates the Shakespearean language. ENJOY!

WOWOWOWIIIIIEEEE. This pick from Cody was a bit of a curveball! We begin our next topic of “I FEEL PRETTY” where Cody picked a film from 1980 about the 1990’s. A rock Opera and glamorous take on the future…this film almost left us with nothing to talk about. From director Menahem Golan comes, “The Apple.” Can I talk about the plot in this synopsis? No. Truly I don’t know what to say other than this is a film about two folk signers who are tempted by fame and the evils there within. If you wanna listen to us flounder around and talk about nonsense, ENJOY!

We have arrive at the end of the SEQUELS segment! Welcome back snobbies. Today we have Eric’s pick and the final sequel choice. From the legendary director Denis Villeneuve comes a sequel to a legendary sci-fi film, “Blade Runner: 2049.” This film rules and we all know it, but it doesn’t exist without flaws. The snobs get into it and invite first time guest JOE! We talk through the various plot lines, theories, and artistry involved in the making of this film. We definitely had different opinions about it and we hope you enjoy the discussion.

Sorry for getting this pod out late, but Snobies! This film RULES!!! We are watching a legend of a film. Today we gave Jared’s pick and he chose to pick from Jackie Chan’s vast breadth of films and managed to choose my favorite of all time: Director Chia-Liang Liu and Jackie Chan, “Drunken Master.” This film is absolutely FULL gas, no breaks. We loved talking through the stunts, deeper messages (jk) and much much more. Enjoy!

I won’t LIE, I wasn’t here for this episode, haha, but this was Caleb’s pick for SEQUELS from legendary director Terrence Malick comes the number three of three in this trilogy, the film is “Song to Song.” This film was heavy, romantic, etherial, and sometimes a bit hard to take in. Our boys discuss the finer details of this film and I recommend that you watch this one before listening. Enjoy!

Hey there Snobbies! Today’s pick comes from Eric after he saw this film on an Actress’s top four on Letterboxd. The plot of the film intrigued him given that it is basically a 1960’s French, female John Wick story. From director François Truffaut, the films “The Bride Wore Black.” This film was a treat and the snobs, sans Caleb, really enjoyed watching this film. We talked about what we would have done and really dive into the deeper issues related to the film. Enjoy!

Welcome to another new topic where we decided to talk about “Putting a Ring on It.” Today’s pick comes from Caleb and is an Australian film. This film comes from Writer & Director P.J. Hogan and is called, “Muriel’s Wedding.” We had a real blast with this one. Caleb and Eric have a few games that the snobs play along with, we talk about being lonely, purpose in life, outgrowing your childhood shadow, life, death, and so much more. Who knew this film had so much to give?! Caleb decided to go the literal route, but each Snob can chose to interpret this topic any way they want. Enjoy!

SNOBBIES! It’s the end of the Spooky season! It hardly seems that the time is here. It feels like it had just begun. But this week we have Jared’s pick for Spooktober V and he chose a film that has been on our spooky lists for years. A film cloaked in darkness and creepy imagery. A film directed by the great Werner Herzog, “Nosferatu the Vampyre.” Joining us on this trip is JOHNNY P! We are so happy to have him on the pod. Having seen this film in the Prospect basement with Jared a few years ago, the rewatch of this film was a very spooky time. We really enjoyed talking about this film and what makes this a Halloween classic. Join us on the journey as we take on this film and wrap up SPOOKTOBER V.

Hey everyone, this week we have Caleb’s pick for SPOOKTOBER! This pick comes to us from director Alejandro Amenábar and is “The Others.” This film is very hard to talk about without spoiling the film, but it takes place in 1945 at the end of the war where we find Nicole Kidman giving some new caretakers the tour of the house before giving them the job. The film gets very interesting when her daughter and son start to see “Others” in the home and Nicole suspects that ghosts are inhabiting the home. This film was a blast to talk through and we hope you enjoyed it too.
