The Shot & The Chaser

The Worst Movies of 2024 - Joe Russo Bottled Tears

There’s nowhere for you to run Joe Russo! Every year people have utter meltdowns about “worst of 2024” lists and we are here to tell you it’s totally normal and appropriate to dunk on a band movie and tonight we are gonna dunk on almost 30 unwatchable movies from this year! Matt somehow only came up with 9, Joey gets his heart broken by some of Matt’s bombastic choices, and Nick is back from the North Pole with hate in his heart. Movies are terrible and that is okay! We’ll be covering the best of 2024 next week, we got sleepy after 90 minutes of hate lol.

The 2024 Christmas Special - With Special Guest, SANTA CLAUS (in the flesh)

Nick was whisked away by Santa for a helping hand up at the North Pole, but luckily the big man himself decided to hang out on the pod this Christmas! For the shot this holiday season, we watched the Lifetime Taylor Swift Christmas movie, Christmas in the Spotlight. To chase this down, we watched the Hallmark "Taylor Swift" "Christmas" movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. Both bad! We have our annual gift exchange, Santa reveals all his secrets while getting drunk on air, and there may be one other special guest tonight, but you'll have to listen to find out! Happy Holidays everyone!

It's a Wonderful Life/How Sarah Got Her Wings - PG13 Hallmark Movies with Christmas Hunks

ONE WEEK TIL CHRISTMAS OH MY GOD! In preparation for the best day ever (Nosferatu release day) we finally got Matt to watch It’s a Wonderful Life and everyone cries. To chase this down, we found a PG-13 Hallmark movie by the name of How Sarah Got Her Wings. Don’t sleep on this newfound subgenre of wholesome Hallmark. Matt is back on his Star Wars bullshit, Nick has not received tracking for Hundreds of Beavers, and Joey defends Joker 2. We are so close to Christmas!

The Perfect Christmas Present - The First Ever Live Viewing

2 episodes in one week? We really are too generous. We had a lot of commentary on The Royal Nanny and felt it would be kinda fun to record our commentary on this week's Hallmark nightmare. Enjoy our first ever live commentary on the controversial Hallmark hellscape, The Perfect Christmas Present.

Jingle All The Way/The Perfect Christmas Present - Soy Cappuccino for Mr. Christmas

What if Hallmark made a creepy stalker movie but they made it uwu cute??? They don’t do that and it’s not even close. For our shot, we had the immortal Jingle All The Way and to chase this down we reconsider our commitment to watching Hallmark movies after our viewing of The Perfect Christmas Present. We also had not seen each other in weeks so the boys talk a LOT about what they’ve watched since Thanksgiving. Don’t see Smile 2! The new episode is out now

Die Hard/The Royal Nanny - The Hallmark Christmas Kick Off!

Happy Holidays cinephiles! Sorry we were out for Thanksgiving, but we are back now! To start our 3rd year of Christmas movies we picked an evidently controversial topic with Die Hard as our shot. It's a Christmas movie, we will prove it. For the remainder of the month we will be watching Hallmark movies as our chasers so we started real strong with The Christmas Nanny, a movie that is also about holiday terrorism. We also ramble for like 30 minutes about the On Cinema universe and even purchase the On Cinema app live on air!

Brawl in Cell Block 99/I Love You Phillip Morris - Jail Seems Bad

Hands in the air, kino bros! On this week's episode before the holidays begin, we kicked things off with Vince Vaughn's immaculate performance in Brawl in Cell Block 99. To chase this down we watched Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's biopic I Love You Phillip Morris. We kinda babble about what we're doing for Thanksgiving and ultimately we decide that Thanksgiving is cancelled this year so enjoy this episode because it's gonna be Christmas for the next month on the show!

Inland Empire/Tootsie - The Criterion Spectrum

No sad animal movies here! Joey was last week's loser and we thought it would be funny to make him endure David Lynch's final feature film (unless you're goated and consider The Return a film) Inland Empire. This sorta backfired, but have no fear! To chase down the surrealist nightmare, we watched Tootsie. Which was somehow worse than we thought it would be. Matt completes the Ernest filmography, Nick finishes Yu Gi Oh, and perhaps Joey will begin a David Lynch binge? Listen to the new episode to find out!

Okja/Marley & Me - Joey is in Time Out

It's that awkward lull in between Halloween and Christmas where we get a lil weird with our choices and Joey decided to keep that tradition alive with this weeks combo. For our shot, the boys watched Bong Joon Ho's animal rights protest film, Okja. And to chase this down we endured everyone's favorite sad dog movie, Marley & Me. Nick plots his revenge, but more importantly, we all watched Rap World and admittedly that is like 30 minutes of this episode (go watch Rap World). The new episode is out now!

The 2024 Scooby Doo Halloween Special! (It's Terror Time)

Ruh Roh rilm ros (I'm not doing this bit past this point), it's Halloween again! Our 3rd annual Halloween celebration is upon us, and what better time to watch 4 Scooby Doo movies from our childhood? We got together and watched Zombie Island, The Witch's Ghost, Alien Invaders, Cyber Chase, and rated them from worst to best! The boys dress up this year, Nick's Yu Gi Oh binge is getting out of hand, Matt fornicates in a hat, and Joey picks our first movies outside of spooky season for next week (and he will suffer for his choices). Trick or treat homies! The Halloween episode is out now
