War Machine Vs. War Horse

The Second Part in our Faking it on the Job Trilogy Did our laziness make this episode more topical? Yes. Does that make us heroes in the media like Mr. Kimmel? Some would say much more so! For we are unpaid. But we are equally as passionate about speaking truth into these tin cans for absolutely NO ONE to see us sweat like Albert Brooks in BROADCAST NEWS. But that goes back to our inherent laziness. For we haven't gotten around to throwing up videos of us talking movies on Youtube yet. Possibly because we don't look like William Hurt.

The First Part in our Faking it on the Job Trilogy We timed our SUPERMAN release to its inevitable viewing from the masses on streaming (HBO Max for now and maybe I shouldn't name check them because they'll inevitably do something horrible to a comedy host) NOT because we are late in uploading this recording... but because we are thinking of the common man and would never dare to ruin this joyful film with spoilers. Or something like that. Regardless here is rare instant joy from us as we discuss our thoughts straight out of the early Amazon Prime screening (notice a trend in us supporting horrible companies if we can watch our man in underpants punch things onscreen) and then try to cobble together a trilogy after the fact.

The Third Part in our Failures in Teamwork Trilogy As we approach the tenth anniversary of the second time Matt Damon was left stranded on a planet (one host approves) we debate man's will to live in isolation for years if it means that Jessica Chastain will eventually save him. Not much of a debate! So instead we discuss (though not at such great a length as anything remotely involving The Chastain) the prospects of big budget Hollywood filmmaking such as this in 2025... because ten years ago I could get brief appearances by Kristen Wiig and Donald Glover and I'd expect nothing less from SIR Ridley Scott. We live in troubled times but you can enjoy this podcast. Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The Second Part in our Failure in Teamwork Trilogy So this is the big one. The episode where our hosts decide if its time to get off this Marvel Cinematic Universe gravy train (thought the numbers would say otherwise) and call it good with the end of Phase One (ugh) with THE AVENGERS. So many paths we could take. Like doing the failed adaptation of that British show with Uma Thurman in the 90s. That couldn't have been that bad. But here we are.

The First Part in our Failure in Teamwork Trilogy Some might say that the failure in teamwork starts with one host being bullied by the other into doing an episode on A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS. All because the bullied host said he finally got around to the first entry into this ESTEEMED franchise and expressed enthusiasm for the original film. And here we are with a discussion on the merits of a deleted scene where Freddy Krueger has boobs. Teamwork.

The Not Ready for MCU Players #5 You may be wondering or more likely hate-listening to our travels through the Marvel Cinematic Universe and asking yourself "WHY?" This is a very reasonable question and perhaps if followed by the even more reasonable response of turning this podcast off. But then you find yourself coming back. Reading these show notes for some reason. Because today is the day Ben Affleck as DAREDEVIL hit the feed. And really that's the whole reason one of us is podcasting to begin with. Enjoy!

The Third Part in our Symbols of America Trilogy As we near a holiday of fireworks and hot dogs we celebrate this occasion by talking about the time when Agent Carter took her chance to fondle Captain America's newly pumped up with super soldier serum breasts.

The Second Part in our Symbols of America Trilogy Geena Davis can do no wrong as the greatest catcher to ever play the game of baseball and Tom Hanks is scratching his nuts which leaves Lori Petty to pick on. Forgive us, Tank Girl, we just love A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN so much we can't help but join the pile on. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Symbols of America Trilogy We debate whether the true symbol of America is laser tag or 1970s pornography. Probably should have stuck with a debate between Dustin Hoffman or Robert Redford but where is the debate in that? Enjoy!

The Not Ready for the MCU Players #4 This is mainly a podcast about the ever changing nature of bullying amongst teenagers but the one constant is that everyone hates when Tobey Maguire takes off the SPIDER-MAN mask and shows us his stupid face.

The Third Part in our Brothers Brought Low Trilogy Even when you nail the casting with Chris Hemsworth wearing a red cape and Tom Hiddleston with golden horns on his head... you still need Kat Dennings to save the day and STILL two bumbling podcasters will complain about your flick over a decade later. Which is to say that there is no pleasing anyone with anything and that it could always be worse. Like in the sequel THOR: THE DARK WORLD. But that's for another episode! For now, let's enjoy our little chat on The Original THOR. A classic of good enough! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The Second Part in our Brothers Brought Low Trilogy How could there ever be a cult classic for a wide release starring Uma Thurman? Wouldn't everyone pause to gaze at her beauty and charisma? Of course as I type up these very show notes I'm reminded of finally catching up with EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE BLUES and being horrified at what my favorite screen goddess did which nearly RUINED the career of one Gus Van Sant before he could make his 1998 classic PSYCHO. But as the chosen film (I'm getting to it) GATTACA shows us... nobody's perfect. Even Ethan Hawke. Especially Ethan Hawke when he shares the screen with Jude Law. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Brothers Brought Low Trilogy Michael Douglas being a desperate (and often times very sweaty) asshole is something like movie comfort food here at the TiT offices... HOWEVER David Fincher's THE GAME is not a film that your two hosts can agree upon. Such gentlemanly episodes are saved for verified classics like TOWER HEIST (coming this Thanksgiving if that threat doesn't have you unsubscribing before then) but this conversation is all about what Sean Penn got wrong with his brotherly birthday gift to Mr. Douglas. And then it's about how wrong (AND STUPID) the host that just said anything was wrong with this picture is. And so on and so forth. Enjoy!

The Not Ready for the MCU Players #3 This is an episode that requires a paywall to talk about in full (our Patreon is a lowly ONE BUCK A MONTH, by the way) because when one talks BLADE 2 that means a mention of Harry Knowles unfortunate review of the film which talked primarily about oral sex. Yeah. We do our best to mention the initial infamy of the film and have fun with what Wesley Snipes and Guillermo del Toro ACTUALLY created... without all of that particular subtext. Enjoy!

The Third Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy Mickey Rourke does his best to whip the sequel to IRON MAN into shape... which is terrible, but we did enjoy the extended (in our mind) whipping sequence if only The Auteur Jon Favreau had the COURAGE to pull a Peter Jackson and give us MORE. More Garry Shandling calling Iron Man a dick! More Sam Rockwell dancing! More Scarlett Johansson... more TRILOGY IN THEORY!

The Second Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy Have we find a film to rival GOOD WILL HUNTING in one that men are comfortable weeping with... NO! Because men cry alone and never admit to such things on a podcast. What they will admit to is the lasting legacy... of themselves. One host wonders if his child will one day be interested in these very audio recordings where he drops expletives in an episode on the very earnest BIG FISH while the other wonders how much longer this planet he resides on will be around.

The First Part in our Father's Legacy Trilogy One host had a childhood and the other one didn't watch an Indiana Jones movie until he was old and depressed. But he's come around to this Steven Spielberg guy being "pretty good" at movies. Consider this our Temple of Doom of podcasting and try to enjoy.

The Not Ready for the MCU Players #2 We mostly credit (or blame) the success of the superhero genre at the cinema on that damn charm of one Hugh Jackman... definitely not the director behind APT PUPIL. Along the way we debate the silliness of forcing actors into all black leather or daring to use a little color. Which is to say that like the rest of the cast we just stand around and watch a handsome Australian man at work. And that doesn't require any sort of director at all.

The Third Part in our Second Attempt at Making a Monster Trilogy Elisabeth Moss troubles one host and that greatly troubles the other as we wrap up our month of monster movie remakes with one of the last theatrical releases before the pandemic in THE INVISIBLE MAN. Considering all that has transpired since then you can forgive us for this one slipping through our pop culture fingers but it's certainly better than new release where Harrison Ford is turned into a Hulk which we touch on very briefly.

The Second Part in our Second Attempt at Making a Monster Trilogy It's not the film with the much beloved Mark Ruffalo nor is it the questionable Hulk Dogs fighting Eric Bane. Instead what you get from us is the star of THE SCORE, Edward Norton in all his mainstream movie glory! So this is the episode on THE INCREDIBLE HULK which once upon an engaged couple skipped to preserve their marriage but now we risk it all for the sake of the podcast. Now let's all quit our grumbling and enjoy Liv Tyler trying to make out with a tiny man in the rain and an even tinier man, Tim Roth, just wanting to grow up to be a regular sized boy perhaps with green skin.
