Episodes

64: Better Than Toast (The Go-Getter)
If you were a hipster in the Aughts, you were only allowed to be horny for two people: Zooey Deschanel, and Jean Luc Goddard. Join Patrick and Barry on this lens flare-filled nostalgic road trip to THE GO-GETTER. We discuss what it meant for a movie to be cool in the moment in cinematic history...
-
63: Mini Marge (Gringa)
Another entry in our Temperature-Agnostic Teen Summer, another movie that Patrick aptly describes as "a clump of indie dramedy gestures." GRINGA is the story of a bulimic teenager and her completely frictionless journey to repair her relationship with her absentee dad/screenwriter self-insert in…
more -
62: Lenore (Measure of a Man)
We recorded this second installment of the miniseries we are NOT calling H*t T**n S*mm*r on the United States' Semiquincentennial, talking about Measure of a Man, which takes place during the United States' Bicentennial. But the movie was made in 2016. So this is podcast is celebrating the...
-
61: Sheila (Three Months)
Pride 2026, kicking off Teen Summer (or whatever we're calling it) with Three Months, an indie dramedy about a gay teen navigating a health dilemma in sunny Florida. Join us for a public health perspective on film criticism, praise for the cast's geriatric MVPs, and an oldie-but-goodie Other...
-
60: Shelly (Wilson)
For the Summer of Greer we talked about a film adaptation of a Marvel superhero comic with Ant-Man, and again last year with Ant-Man & the Wasp. Now, on the spring that precedes the Summer of the Name We Haven't Come Up With, we're talking about an adaptation of an alternative comic: Daniel…
more -
59: Jessica Lipki (Chili Finger)
Back at it again at the Music Box Theatre! Long time listeners may remember in 2023 when Barry and Patrick saw a screening of ERIC LARUE at the Music Box as part of the Chicago International Film Festival and their minds were blown. This year, the Chicago Critics' Film Festival displayed some...
-
58: Michelle (Visioneers)
Do you think dreams are dangerous? Trying to keep your life together with happy pills and butter? Sounds like you could learn a little something from Visioneers, in which Zach Galifianakis and Judy Greer live in a society. Barry and Patrick reminisce about Adult Swim, ponder the revolutionary...
-
Come to My Lindo #22: A Life Less Ordinary
Maybe the most celebratory episode yet of Come to My Lindo, and all you Delvotees know why: with his best supporting actor win at the 2026 Academy Awards, Delroy Lindo is officially an EGOT winner! Barry and Patrick are psyched for this moment of glory, and almost as psyched to talk about A LIFE...
-
57: Mom (Everything to Me)
Innovation. Synergy. Grit. Can telling your story incentivize changing your major? Can a movie inspire girls to maximize profits? Is somebody finally going to make one gosh darn movie about a young person who lives in the Bay Area? Somebody already did. And, in the most synergistic innovation...
-
56: Diana (Valley Girl)
Where's the beef? Right here where it always is, on 96 Greers! Barry and Patrick take on Valley Girl, the 2020 jukebox musical remake of the 1983 purported cult classic of the same name. What are the reasonable limits on different ways music can function in a movie? How well does the hardcore…
more -
55: Casey (27 Dresses)
Valentine's Day is coming up, and we are delving into yet another romcom! Adorn yourself in tulle ("tool?" "tuhl?") and your I <3 Kathryn Heigl ("haygle?" "hi gull?") t-shirt, because we're coming at you with 27 DRESSES! Do Patrick and Barry critique the wedding industry, struggle for something...
-
54: Patti with an I (All We Had)
Content note: discussions of transphobia, sexual assault, addiction. Listen, [comrade]. Real podcasters don't wear capes, and they don't look like Jesus. They have codependent relationships with their teenage daughters and work at a restaurant where Richard Kind has a Chekhov's gun that nobody...
-
53: Barb (Playing for Keeps)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind... join Barry and Patrick for an end of 2025 episode and acquaint yourself with Playing for Keeps, a 2012 soccer rom?com?? Gerard Butler vehicle. And then hope that you never have to bring it to mind again. Find out how Judy Greer fares...
-
52: Holly (Our Souls at Night)
The darkest time of the year is upon us (here in the Northern hemisphere at least) where most of us just want to take a cue from nature and hibernate for a while. Does 96 Greers have the movie for you! Gentle music, minimal yelling, and a languid plot that revolves around Hollywood's two sexiest...
-
51: Martha Washington (America: the Motion Picture)
In the winter of our discontent, let necessity be the mother of invention. As in, we are discontent with America: the Motion Picture and needed to be inventive about recording while Barry was out of town for a week and a half. Join us in an audio festival of contempt for this animated comedy's...
-
50: Purple Lady (Dead of Winter)
The stars have finally aligned, two in-theater episodes in a row! Barry and Patrick headed back to the realm of 8 dollar fountain drinks for Dead of Winter, a sparse backcountry thriller where Emma Thompson and Judy Greer have conflicting goals regarding a teenager who is bound and gagged in a...
-
49: Ginnie Garraty (The Long Walk)
Two momentous episodes in a row! For the previous episode, we knew the halfway mark was going to come eventually. But we did not know when we would get to see JG in a movie in theaters that other people would actually go see. Barry and Patrick recorded this episode two weeks ago and, holy crap…
more -
48: Lucy "Tom-Tom" Wyman (13 Going on 30)
Honored ear-guests: we've half-done it. With this episode, we reach the halfway mark of the journey to 96 Greers. We mark this special occasion with a special movie in the Judy Greer filmography: 2004's 13 Going on 30. That's right, Barry and Patrick have taken this ode to Gen X's childhood and...
-
47: Laura (Peep World)
Before Octavia Butler and Taraji P. Henson were in Hidden Figures, before Ben Schwartz was Sonic the Hedgehog, and before Judy Greer stuck ping pong balls to her body and pretended to mother a baby chimpanzee, they were all in a family dramedy? TV pilot? Lightly fictionalized autobiographical…
more -
46: Cornelia (War for the Planet of the Apes)
I love the spell of ape film in the morning. Smells like a new episode of 96 Greers! Last summer, Patrick and Barry watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, followed by a whimsical Other Segment-- and a harrowing Judilization. This year, they're being called back to the combat zone, for one last...
-
45: Maggie (Ant-Man and the Wasp)
It's the Summer of Greer REDUX! We're back in the MCU, grappling with more important-sounding Proper Nouns that are of no consequence to either of us! Luckily we have Gabe Powers of Genre Grinder to get us caught up on the three years between Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp. We puzzle over…
more -
44: Kitty (Uncle Frank)
After our road trip episode, we bring you: another road trip episode! But this time the road trip is in the movie. Kind of. For a few scenes. But it's mostly a gay drama about a South Carolina family in the early 70s. Think Tennessee Williams on quaaludes. Written and directed by HBO showrunner...
-
43: Sharon Andrews (The Grand)
Barry and Patrick went on a trip and didn't record an episode in advance, so keep generosity alive in your heart for this road diary-slash-conversation of The Grand. Can the effusive twosive behind your favorite podcast about the filmography of Judy Greer take the show on the road? Also: when's…
more -
42: Dr. Amy Hicks (Playing with Fire)
Finally, someone made content for children about first responders and the cast isn't a bunch of CGI dogs (and oesn't-day eature-fay the ops-cay ;)). But the cast does include the comedy talents of Judy Greer, Keegan-Michael Key, John Leguizamo, and everybody's favorite pro wrestler-turned-actor!...
-
41: Kathy Dahl (Buffaloed)
Content note: folks with misophonia may want to skip the Other Segment (01:08:00-01:37:00) Who can say no to an indie film with regionally-specific jokes and a protagonist whose attitude and hairstyle could both be described as "Devil-may-care"? Certainly not us, because Judy Greer is in the cast...
-
40: Dorsey (Family Squares)
Content note: we discuss the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic at length. If you've listened to any previous episodes of 96 Greers, you may have asked yourself a question. And there was an answer to that question-- up until this episode, where the answer changed. And you may doubt that I…
more -
39: Dr. Janelle Kurtz (Where'd You Go, Bernadette?)
Richard Linklater is a beloved American auteur with a heart as big as his Texas homeland and a colorful Boomer childhood (that almost assuredly included experimenting with psychedelics) to influence the stories he tells. So it stands to reason that he would be the ideal writer/director for a film...
-
38: Cindy (Love and Other Drugs)
Zig-a-zig ha, cinephiles! We're rolling back to 1997-- or at least, we're rolling back to 2010 rolling back to 1997, with Love and Other Drugs! Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, the director of Glory and The Last Samurai? That's the best trio since romcoms where two prickly assholes shack up…
more -
37: Deborah (American Dreamz)
This episode of 96 Greers is notable for documenting a moment in time when TikTok the Gray had died, but had not yet made its dramatic return as TikTok the [tool of] White [supremacy]. It's also notable as fan service for anyone who may fondly remember the episodes of Director's Club where Barry...
-
36: Samantha (I Love Your Work)
It's 2025, whether we like it or not! And as the old saying goes: new year, new Greer. Patrick and Barry (fka Reg) are stroking their beards and nodding seriously at the Adam Goldberg-directed I Love Your Work. This dark tale of Hollywood delirium may be the closest that we get to being able to...
-
35: Alice (The TV Set)
We got Christmas out of the way early with our last episode, now we're on to the next big holiday that speaks to what really matters in This Country: mid-season pilots! Reg and Patrick focus test The TV Set, a 2006 film by the guy who made Red One. Will they feel comforted by over-the-top...
-
34: Grace (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever)
Yes, it's mid-November 2024 and we are covering a "faith-based" movie. No, we don't talk about the election. Yes, "faith" is a euphemism for Christian. No, we haven't been "saved." Yes, my use of quotation marks around "saved" is meant to be sarcastic. No, I'm not playing an ad hoc improv game…
more -
33: Karen (Halloween Kills)
It's Halloween Kills, and everyone is entitled to one good podcast. Or something. We've waited a whole year to return to Haddonfield for the 2021 legasequel sequel to 2018's Halloween, the legasequel to Halloween. We talk comparisons to another big-name legasequel trilogy and discover that we see…
more -
32: Lady Elizabeth Wadsworth (The Lady of the Manor)
Don't turn out the light, listener, because you're about to hear (a plot summary and criticism of) a G-G-G-Ghost Story! From the twisted mind of Justin Long-- yes, the guy who played relatable nerds in 00s comedies and also got turned into a manwalrus in that one movie-- comes a harrowing tale…
more -
31: Ellie (The Amateurs)
Reg and Patrick make a podcast, and in this episode, they're getting deep inside The Amateurs. This "indie" comedy about a small town group of slackers who decide to make a porno features some red hot meta-humor and an orgy of acting talent, and you know Judy Greer is right there among them.…
more -
30: Cornelia (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes)
The Summer of Greer has one more episode before we move onto the First Day of School of Greer. Is it another installment in a sprawling sci-fi franchise? Yes. Is JG a mom? Yes. Does she, as we hoped, get the best role we're see all summer? What I can tell you is that "A Fish Called Selma" is the...
-
29: Maggie (Ant-Man)
The Summer of Greer marches on, hurrah hurrah! Another mid-2010s big budget action movie, another underwritten mom role for Judy Greer. Reg and Patrick have the dubious honor of digging into the MCU with 2015's Ant-Man. Gabe Powers from Genre Grinder makes a special appearance as the wise comic...
-
28: Karen (Jurassic World)
Fun fact: this is the third movie we have covered so far where Judy Greer plays a Karen. Not a Karen-Karen, just a mom named Karen. Well, she might be a Karen-Karen; we don't get enough information about her, for all we know there's a version of the script out there where she's writing a...
-
27: Jenny (Tomorrowland)
The year was 2015, and Judy Greer's film career saw her journeying through the Land of Big-Budget Franchise Movies. Reg and Patrick are setting the air conditioner on high and expectations on low for a mini-series we are calling The Summer of Greer. Brad Bird's...
-
Bonus Episode: Shorts, Sketches, and Cameos
We did it again! But... wait. Did we? What if we didn't? What if we did something else? What if we did something so long ago that, sitting here today, I can't even remember the names of one of the things, but we pretended like it was just done yesterday? And what if Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was…
more -
26: Joyce (The 15:17 to Paris)
Choo-choo movie nerds, The 15:17 to Paris is leaving the station! Legit question for listening Americans: how do Reg and Patrick abide the 88-94 year old director who fills their TV with 94 minutes of military propaganda while their small audience awaits their opinions? Can a mostly forgotten...
-
25: Ginger (Barry Munday)
Our wife told us not to record this podcast. But Reg and Patrick are back to offend everyone and ask the tough questions about BARRY MUNDAY, a typical Boy-Loses-Testicles-and-Forgets-He-Met-Girl comedy, such as: Has there ever been an actually funny scene set at a support group? Will 96 Greers...
-
24: Soda the Whale (My Father's Dragon)
In February, we asked a deeply inane question: What Do Women Want? In March, we asked an even more inane question: What Do Children Want? Two dozen episodes into Judy Greer's filmography, and we have yet to cover a work aimed specifically at children (unless you count Rusty's Learning to Listen:...
-
23: Donna (Men, Women, and Children)
STOP! Are you aware that you are currently on the Internet? When's the last time you even looked up from that screen? Are you even aware what's happening to The Children? Or maybe you yourself are so enthralled by this terrible technology that you are already lost in the dark labyrinth of mild…
more -
22: Erin (What Women Want)
Join Reg and Patrick as they live, laugh, and love through the Nancy Meyers written and directed rom-com What Women Want. What do women want: a living wage, professional relationships built on mutual respect, and bodily autonomy? Maybe, but have you considered: Mel Gibson? Reg and Patrick have,...
-
21: Ramona (Lemon)
Prepare your earholes, because 96 Greers is coming in hot with a Lemon party. Reg and Patrick bare it all: their feelings on 2017 dark comedy Lemon, director Janicza Bravo's other work (including 2020 Twitter-plotted sensation Zola), and the use of unlikable characters and cringey situations to...
-
20: Kitty (The Village)
Well met, gentle friends, and harken to another discourse with Reg and Patrick, spirited to you through your enchanted box of wonders! On this fine day, we turn our thoughts to a fanciful tale spun by M. Night Shyamalan, entitled The Village. If you know not wherefore this missive is written in...
-
19: Linda (Jeff Who Lives at Home)
Holy sibling rivalry Batman, it's another mumblecore episode! Well, it's a Duplass Brothers episode. Perhaps those two descriptors aren't quite as interchangeable as Patrick and Reg had assumed. Jeff Who Lives at Home has us pondering the physics of sinking cars, business communication trends of...
-
18: Esther (The Hebrew Hammer)
This episode is being published a little late, but don't worry, we weren't giving you the Shaft. More recent roles have seen the ever-Super Fly Judy Greer playing a White Mama, but on this episode we go back to 2003's action comedy The Hebrew Hammer, a blaxploitation homage with a Jewish twist....
-
17:Janice (Eric LaRue)
Reg and Patrick go on an adventure to the Chicago International Film Festival to see the premiere of Eric LaRue, the directorial debut of Judy Greer's Pottersville co-star Michael Shannon and focuses on the emotional aftermath for parents whose children were involved in a school shooting. We talk...
