Send us a text It's The Review Review RAPID FIRE for Spooky Season! Our returning guest, Kimbo, joins Paul for a short stay in the studio for "Poltergeist," (d. Hooper ((?)) 1982). In our most questionably rated adventure since "Earth Girls Are Easy," we attempt to invoke the spirits of the MPAA to explain their logic in the PGness of this film. Can armchair Quarterback parents be more effective than ACTUAL parents? And of course, that f*****g clown. Go into the light 10/6! **All episod...

Send us a text Jono Matt is BACK to get us started for our annual “Spooky Season,” here on the program! We’re getting it started with our lust for discussing his choice “SE7EN,” (d. Fincher 1995) Starring: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Gwyneth Paltrow. At times we have a lot of pride in our loud opinions of this movie, at others we become gluttons for information. You may yourself envying the fun we have in this deep dive on the Andrew Kevin Walker written thriller, and greedy for even...

Send us a text Our neighbor, Guest: Eric Driscoll (Mr. D Likes Movies), from the Yada Yada Podcast barges through the door with his choice “Maximum Overdrive” (d. King 1986). Starring: Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, and Laura Harrington. In a movie with the most confusing rules on the pod since “Gremlins,” we spend this entire episode questioning the motivations, the hows, the whens, the whys, that this movie asks us all. Forgive the ad. It's a bit Over the Top. 8/19! **All episodes contain expl...

Anderson / Writings - Zweig) by way of a Review Review. Starring: Ralph Finnes, F. Murray Abraham, and Adrien Brody. This episode gets almost as charming as this clearly (that’s Willem Dafoe) Wes Anderson film, until Corporate Overlord Gerrah Joees comes in to make us talk football, for no compensation. And we talk what he tells us to talk. Cause, “...

Send us a text “Meat Loaf Month,” goes furiously forward into “Fight Club,” (1999 d.Fincher book - Palahniuk) with our guest, Aaron Goodman - LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist).

Joining is our guest, very cool Director, Matthew Palmer (Instagram). In this edition, we go deep into the annals of "Philip Marlowe," films and novels.

Send us a text Ben had to bounce (he just didn’t have the time), so Guest Host Katie Hampton (@elsassypants) bounds in with her choice “Big Trouble,” (in larger Miami. D. Sonnenfeld 2002…technically). We heartily chuckle through the Tim Allen school of acting, lack of plot, uuummm world events, and more in this episode that will have you wishing Paul were Ben more than ever!
