Episodes
-
Episode 175 – Stranger Things Season 4
Only 2 things could bring us out of circumstantial retirement: a Transformers reboot or a new Stranger Things season. See you next year.
-
Episode 174 – The Silence of the Lambs (Double Ft. Scream)
Blood, guts, gore, skinning, hanging, stabbing, kidnapping, cannibalisms...oh, and we also watched a movie. Something about a baby sheep I think. Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy showed up too for some reason.
-
Episode 173 – Men in Black (Double Ft. The Vast of Night)
We spend this entire episode lying on the hood of our Dodge Dart, looking up at the heavens, waiting for the little men in their fantastic vehicles. Actually, we ordered Ubereats and they're 20 minutes late (and there's probably not a road-worthy Dodge Dart left in the country). When the Zaxby's...
-
Episode 172 – No Country for Old Men (Double ft. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)
This month we belly up to the bar, order a sasparilla and settle ourselves at a table for a game of stud...actually, not at all. These two Westerns are a long way from the days of white hat/black hat morality tales. There are no obvious good guys to be found in Leone's revisionist take, or the...
-
Episode 171 – Lupin III: The First (Double Ft. A Fish Called Wanda)
This week crime DOES pay, and it pays rather handsomely. We discuss 2 movies, each with a cast of charismatic and hilarious ne're-do-wells. Collin outdoes himself with some in depth research on all things Lupin.
-
Episode 170 – The Royal Tenenbaums (Double Ft. The Mitchells vs. the Machines)
Doesn't everyone think they belong to a dysfunctional family? Maybe that accounts for the plethora of choices when selecting a movie to represent the genre. For me, head and shoulders above the rest, is Wes Anderson's third feature, The Royal Tenenbaums. Collin counters with a new animated...
-
Episode 169 – Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Double Ft. – This is Spinal Tap)
I'm trying to write the show notes and keep getting interrupted because my family thinks the podcast is about as important as you do, so I guess just read the title; we talk about those movies.
-
Eight Harry Potter Movies, One Show
We took a 2-week trip out west, and after exhausting ourselves hiking around the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest, we spent our evenings re-watching all the Harry Potter movies. It's one long Good Stuff/Bad Stuff episode as we hand out awards for the best and worst of what we saw this time around.
-
Episode 167 – Mad Max: Fury Road / Mortal Engines
It's the end of the world on this episode of It's Your Pic. Two post-apocalyptic visions enter, one post-apocalyptic vision leaves. Actually, it's not much of a contest; Furiosa could take Hester Shaw with one arm tied behind her back.
-
Episode 166 – O Brother, Where Art Thou? / Cool Hand Luke
On this episode we look at two very different stories involving iconoclasts, chain gangs, and escaped cons. Collin's main pick is the Coen brother's borderline musical O Brother, Where Art Thou? A movie that I despised on my first watch. My double feature pairing is the 1967 classic Cool Hand Luke.
-
Episode 165 – Christmas Top 5
We didn't want to do it, but the podcast police threatened to insert Me Undies and Casper Mattress ads at 3-minute intervals into all our podcasts if we didn't do a top 5 Christmas movies list. Rather than sacrifice the quality and integrity that we've worked so hard to achieve, we reluctantly...
-
Episode 164 – Weathering With You / Source Code
Collin's pick this month is Makoto Shinkai's follow up to the massive hit Your Name, Weathering With You. It's every bit as visually dazzling, but is the story equally compelling? I also break a sweat trying to connect it to Duncan Jones's Source Code. Spoiler talk starts at about the 33:30 mark.
-
Episode 163 – Alien / Cloverfield
We're tweaking the format and schedule (like we ever had one of those) for reasons. This month is our Halloween show with a sci-fi twist. It's a monstrous double feature with Alien and Cloverfield.
-
Episode 162 – The Long, Long Holiday
World War 2 for kids / Seems like a pretty tough sell / The French give a try
-
Episode 161 – Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Skynet tries again / This time Arnie's the good guy / Beast mode Hamilton
-
Episode 160 – Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (Siege)

Episode 159 – The Terminator
Cam's got a tight budget I think my dad drove that car That robot talks funny
-
Episode 158 – Dark (Netflix)
This week I'm joined by my good friend, Giffy, to discuss Netflix's Dark. The series just released its third and final season, and we're itching to discuss the labyrinthine plot, time travel head-scratchers, and the show's stealth hero. Be warned: if you haven't seen the show this podcast will be...

A film in reverse What were we talking about? Nolan loves puzzles
-
Episode 146 – Unbreakable
Willis can't get hurt Jackson can crack like an egg No. No shooting friends
-
Episode 145 – Forrest Gump
We had no trouble finding plenty of people who hate Forrest Gump. Whether it's because it won Best Picture instead of Pulp Fiction (which, true, probably should have won), or the perception of it as a "conservative" movie, it sports a shockingly low score of 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. Collin went in...
-
Episode 144 – Meet the Robinsons
When Collin was a toddler, this was one of our trusty babysitter movies -- put it on and you've got yourself an hour and a half of peace and quiet. Bad parenting? Sure. But if you're going to let a movie raise your kid at least choose one with a positive message like Meet the Robinsons. The...
-
Episode 143 – Saving Private Ryan
Before seeing 1917 I thought it necessary for Collin to first see what many consider the greatest war movie ever made. Of course, not everyone thinks that is the case, and we get into a few dissenting opinions. We also discuss whether we think this is a pro or anti-war movie and if Spielberg…

Episode 142 – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — Part 2 – The Good and Final Thoughts
In part 2 of our Rise of Skywalker discussion, Giffy and I get to what we liked about the 9th and final (?) film of the Skywalker saga. Finally, we talk about the series as a whole and our relative levels of satisfaction.
-
Episode 141 – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — Part 1 – Intro and the Bad
I'm joined by a guest co-host this week, Giffy, to discuss the finale of the Skywalker saga. It ended up being a longer than usual episode so I've broken it up into 2 episodes. In part 1 we start with an overview of Episode 9 and then get into the bad stuff, but fear not, in part 2 we'll get a...
-
Episode 140 – Joyeux Noel
Collin makes a rather unusual choice this week: a movie about the 1914 Christmas truce that happened between combatants during WWI. It's a try-hard movie with some really good actors, but does it belong on your yearly Christmas viewing list? We discuss.
-
Episode 139 – The Usual Suspects
Despite its robust Rotten Tomatoes rating, The Usual Suspects has its vocal detractors. No less than Ebert famously panned it upon its release. But if loving that final reveal makes me a gullible idiot then I guess I'll have the quart of snake oil, the used Yugo, and the extended warranty.…

Episode 138 – Rango
After making a few billion dollars for Disney at the helm of the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean films, Gore Verbinski got a $135 million budget from Paramount to make an animated cowboy lizard movie. What they got for that investment was a strange, sometimes offputting tale populated with some…

Episode 137 – Breaking Away
Rarely does a 40-year-old movie hold up this well. It came out the same year as Apocalypse Now and Alien, and it holds up every bit as well as both those films but isn't near as remembered. My wife says it's boring and Collin couldn't remember the title, so maybe it's just a film for which I have…

Episode 136 – My Hero Academia Season 1
It's a Plus Ultra episode this week as we give thoughts and reviews for season one of the wildly popular series My Hero Academia, and we try to minimize flashbacks to previous episodes. We agree on a lot but have differing opinions as to the overall effectiveness of the show.
