138: These Friends of Mine

Movie Meltdown - Episode 138 This week we are back at our home base coffee shop for another addition of “The Caffeinated Movie Geek“. And yet somehow we still manage to get out of hand while talking about movies and other geeky activities. Plus we get a call from Reese Witherspoon!! Yes, THE Reese Witherspoon! Or we think so, hmmm?? You’ll just have to hear this one. Plus any episode that works in a spit-take - must be a good episode! Plus as we devolve into talking about the TV wasteland, at some point we mention… Insidious, Dogtooth, the official “The Caffeinated Movie Geek” mug, The Planet of the Apes, The Orphanage, Stanley Tucci, the Santa Claus myth, Spaceballs, one of the greatest lost voicemails ever, Tarantino on King King, Tomorrow with Robert Duvall, the voice-over from beyond the grave, the awesomeness of Gilligan's Island, the Helena Bonham Carter factor, The Lovely Bones, willingness = sexy, Annette Bening, Sweet Sixteen, Marky Mark, the Rachel haircut, the principles of Hollywood negotiations and date rape, why would Santa be using the same wrapping paper as us?, an actress that never reveals herself, Tim Roth, John Carpenter killed my Santa Claus, different ways to be hot, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, that plastic tree in The Happening, going to Paris to see the Mona Lisa, Skeletor with fake tits, Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes, Jennifer Aniston’s face, Thora Birch, a depressing double feature, David Schwimmer - believable doofus, No Country for Old Men, Reservoir Dogs, a hard-working hobo, Planet of the Guys Who Look Kind of like Michael Jackson, a female Joe Piscopo thing, getting naked with Helen Mirren, and Mary Ann vs. Ginger - the battle continues. “I live in like a Felliniesque day care…”
