The Shot & The Chaser

The Brutalist/Grand Theft Hamlet - A Beautiful Day at the Alamo

It's Oscar szn baby! To kick things off, the boys took a day trip to the Alamo and witnessed The Brutalist in all it's glory. To chase this down, we checked out the Mubi doc Grand Theft Hamlet, a movie filmed entirely in GTA online. We go over our wonderful meals, the beauty of the intermission, and a basic movie theater etiquette review as some people (in an Alamo no less) have forgotten how sitting in a movie theater works. Being a decent person must be difficult, but oh well. The new episode is out now!

Dune 1984/Spice World - If You Wanna Be My Lover, You Gotta Free My People

Absolutely insane that the last David Lynch movie we watched together was Dune mere days before his death. We are very emotional about it, but listen to how chipper we are in this episode because next week the laughing stops. To chase down the sci fi epic, we watched a true Lynchian masterpiece, Spice World! Nick scolds Matt on his Kingdom Hearts play style, Joey begins his descent into Bob Dylan fandom, and Matt just loves to say Kwisatz Haderach! The new episode is out now!

Carnal Knowledge/I Love You, Man - Boyhood is a Spectrum

Fellas, is it gay to love your homie and respect women? On this week's episode, the boys watch their first Mike Nichols movie together with Carnal Knowledge. To chase this down, we watched I Love You, Man and were all under the impression that Judd Apatow had something to do with this. Are we wrong for assuming that? Nick doesn't think Jack Nicholson has any sex appeal, Joey describes the perfect snow day, and Matt refuses to slap the bass as he approaches 30. Tell your homies you love them and give them a lil forehead kiss too. The new episode is out now!

The Best Movies of 2024 - Who's Excited for 2025?!

At long last, we have made our lists of the best movies of 2024 as well as some highly anticipated movies coming in 2025! We're excited to see what this year may bring and what movies we will endure. 2024 was a surprising year for movies to say the least, but what were some of your favorites? Don't worry listener, next week we are back to watching movies!

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!
