Episodes
-
The Love Hypothesis
Classic story where you accidentally kiss your professor and now you both are fake dating each other...and fall for one another? Find out and see. The story is also based on Star Wars...but not the good trilogy.
-
The Drama
This a great movie because we all love drama!! There's so much here. Think of the worst thing you've ever done and everyone in this movie is probably done way worst! It's a dark comedy that's not bad...judge for yourself.
-
Don't Say Good Luck
It's a Sandler movie, but not the one you're thinking of. It's kinda sad, we tried to do our best to have fun! Martin still isn't a fan of Waitress
-
The Terminator
Most used guest, Phil Mike, joins as him and Martin discuss not only his iconic film, but how a guy kinda time travels to bang a dude's mom. And also how The Rock, the actor, sucks. There's a lot going on. AI is in this future and ours now, uh oh. Listen for your own future!
-
La Dolce Villa
Ever have your dad come to Italy to stop you from buying a villa because you're so young and ends up falling in love with the mayor? That's the movie. If you're a Fellini fan, don't watch, it's not related.
-
The Odyssey
Yes, we're doing it, the biggest movie of the summer, the three thousand year old story! A tale of time! Was it good? You be the judge. Listen...and it won't take twenty years!
-
Office Romance
You know the name of the game, hooking up with a co-worker except these are the hottest two people at work and the boss and J Lo! HR can't handle this! Listen when you can, maybe at work!
-
Voicemails for Isabelle
You never know who's old number you have and what calls you may get and how dudes will use it to their advantage. The movie can be a little heavy, the main character is annoying, but the most revealing part of this ep is Jenny sharing the craziest news!! Listen when you can.
-
Obsession
Warning to all simps, you may not want the girl to like you more than anything. It won't work out well! In the end she suffers the most. You could say this movie is everyone's new obsession! Listen when you can.
-
The Devil Wears Prada 2
We're back with our favorite Devil who's still wearing Prada! The gang is back! Need we did them to be? Probably not, but Nigel is cool. Listen if you think sequels are fashionable.
-
Wuthering Heights (2026)
This is not the 1939 classic, but the brand new 2026 version. If you didn't read the book don't worry neither did the people who made this movie! Technically quotation marks are in the title, but maybe it was never supposed to be faithful. It gets weird, campy, it's not your mom's Wuthering...
-
No Strings Attached
It's our five year anniversary! Five years ago we did Friends with Benefits, so five years later we did a similar film that came out the same year, No Strings Attached. And we have on our super fan/ super friend Noah Crowley. We reminisce on our time and discuss it all! Here's to another five!
-
The Housemaid
This film has a lot of twists and turns and has Martin's fav Sydney Sweeney...and it's still not good...but I think most of us already knew that! This ep is a good listen tho.
-
The Threesome
No, it's not a dirty movie, it's a comedy that has a lot of crazy stuff happen after a threesome. You never know what will happen....but birth is involved. It's a funny, good time.
-
Love & Basketball
It's March, big time for basketball, so here's a movie about that and love and growing up and thinking about the future and opportunity all from people too short to actually go pro. Listen when you can. Ballin'!
-
The Life List
What if your mom dies and never told you the things that make her proud of her and instead left a list you made at 13 for things you wanted to accomplish in life and DVDs of her for you watch? That's the movie, listen when you can, don't wait for us to die.
-
Is This Thing On?
Stand up comedy and romance, can you have both? Is stand up comedy in a movie portrayed realistically? These questions and more we ask? The main question is, what's the deal...with this movie?!
-
People We Meet on Vacation
Who's the vacation you? You never who you'll meet, could be some guy who goes to your college, meet up with once a year, and secretly are interested but never want to say it loud? You know the people. That's this movie. Hear about it and high school drama from years ago. Good ep! Listen when you...
-
One Battle After Another
It is the best picture....that's up your opinion. The name sounds like being married, right? A lot is going on in the movie, one thing is for sure though, Sean Penn plays a weirdo. Listen when you can!
-
Regretting You
The only thing we regret is watching this movie. It's bad and literally an insane. Listen to hear about it...and about Martin's finances. This episode you won't regret!
-
Runaway (2010 Kanye West short film music video)
With the holiday season ending, Martin knew it was going to be hard to get the episode done, so he called in his friends Phil and. Rudy and talked about this old Kanye West extended music video that's technically a short film. Back when Kanye was cool. Happy New Year!

-
The Ballad of Wallis Island
This week we just have a nice movie. No one can really hate it...hopefully like this episode! Listen when you can.
-
The Big Sick
A movie about comedy and being ill...perfect for us! It's a good movie, fun time, off topic, but we make it through. This episode is sick!
-
Back To The Future
Forty years ago on the date this episode is dropping, 10/26, Marty McFly went to the past, got stuck, and had to go back to the future! From 1985 to 2025, we discuss....and really get off topic, it's a good ep. Our episodes keep being brought for copyright crap, but we're here, we're not going...

Oh, Hi

-
Materialists
It's a movie about a matchmaker who thinks they're great at their job...but the real question is, who's better looking Pedro Pascal or Chris Evans? It's a hell of a love triangle. We'll make you a match, just listen!
-
Superbad
One of the few teen sex comedies that ages pretty well. We talk about the teen sex comedy that came out when we were in high school with our friend, Phil Mike. There's a lot of stories of our younger selves shared too. It's a great listen.
