Episodes

Episode 099 - The Very Belated Final Episode
Better late than never, right? At long last here is the final episode of the show. We analyze the movie list with some fun categories, such as our favorites, movies we didn't click with, and a few others. Way back in Episode 001, we each talked about our favorite movies at the time. Since so much...
-
Episode 098 - The Shawshank Redemption
We have officially reached the final film on our list! This was chosen as our finale because, as you probably already know, people absolutely LOVE The Shawshank Redemption. More than any other movie on this list, Shawshank always elicited the strongest reaction when people found out I'd never…
more -
Episode 097 - The Green Mile
Our penultimate film, as well as our penultimate Stephen King adaptation, The Green Mile has a lot riding on it as one of our anchor films in this final stretch. It's the origin of the "magical negro" plot device, with a star-studded cast, a talented mouse, and a whole lot of nonsense. We also...
-
Episode 096 - On the Waterfront
This entry on our list is similar to Citizen Kane, in that it's not really a movie that's recommended as often these days, but deserves its spot due to its impact. On the Waterfront is one of the most celebrated American films. It's a movie filled with subtle performances that contains one of the...
-
Episode 095 - Raging Bull
The final Scorsese film from our list ends up being one of the most intense across all 100 movies. Raging Bull depicts a frighteningly familiar monster in DeNiro's portrayal of Jake LaMotta, and shows how destructive unchecked male ego can be. We also discuss Black Book, Bacurau, Age of…
more -
Episode 094 - Casino
The penultimate Scorsese film on our list, Casino stands as yet another crowning achievement from one of America's best directors. Casino has it all: style, violence, and the coolest suits you have ever seen. We also discuss the Mortal Kombat movie, Shadow & Bone, Wild at Heart, and more!…
more -
Episode 093 - The Karate Kid
The Karate Kid has long been one of the best student-mentor films. Beloved by millions of all ages, it's been a staple of 80s cinema for nearly 40 years. We also discuss Curse of the Golden Flower, Godzilla vs Kong, and more! Recently Watched - 1:29 Godzilla KOTM Spoiler - 39:25 The Karate Kid -...
-
Episode 092 - Stand by Me
We discuss yet another Stephen King adaptation, as well Zack Snyder's Justice League, Lost season 1, and more! Recently Watched - 1:33 Stand by Me - 55:10 Produced by Andrew Padula
-
Episode 091 - Caddyshack
Caddyshack is a weird movie. Half a coming-of-age story, half sketch comedy, plus there's a dancing gopher; none of it should work, but it does. It shows its age every now and again, but against all odds, Caddyshack's screwball comedy gets it across the finish line. We also discuss Judas and the...
-
Episode 090 - The Bourne Identity
Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne! Recently Watched - 1:23 The Bourne Identity - 26:50 The Sequels - 1:05:18 Produced by Andrew Padula
-
Episode 089 - Scarface
Endlessly quoted, parodied to death, and still a beloved cult classic, there was no version of our list that didn't include Brian De Palma's Scarface. Almost everything about this movie is now iconic, from the soundtrack to the violence. Along for the ride are discussions on Possessor, Framing...
-
Episode 088 - Breakfast at Tiffany's
We're celebrating the romance season with one of the all-time great rom-coms, Breakfast at Tiffany's! Audrey Hepburn was one of Hollywood's brightest stars, and this is arguably her most iconic role. A beloved classic, based on a book, a Hollywood legend, and top tier score to boot? How could…
more -
Episode 087 - Schindler's List + Shoah
The final Spielberg film on our list is probably his most celebrated. Schindler's List, coupled with our viewing of Claude Lanzmann's staggering documentary, Shoah, made for a really sobering and emotionally taxing entrance to 2021, but it was worth it. Movies like this make us better people....
-
Episode 086 - Sophie's Choice
This is the first of our two-episode observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. This first episode features Sophie's Choice. Not only does this have one of the most infamously depressing scenes in modern film, it contains one of the most incredible performances ever shot. Our next...
-
Episode 085 - 2020: A Nightmare Odyssey
Our final sendoff of 2020. Similar to our last episode, this was supposed to be released earlier. Here's a much more relaxed, bonus episode about everything we watched over the holidays, and what we're looking forward to in 2021! Session 9 - 1:06 Spider-man Into the Spiderverse - 9:10 Wonder…
more -
Episode 084 - Lethal Weapon
This episode is all about the Lethal Weapon series! These four films have helped define one of the most well-known movie and TV genres: the buddy cop story. From iconic lines like "I'm getting too old for this shit," to the ultra cheesy, equally kick-ass music, Lethal Weapon is a franchise that...
-
Episode 083 - The Sound of Music
The Sound of Music is one of the most beloved American films ever made. With a soundtrack that delivers hit after hit, an irresistibly charming Julie Andrews, and a relatable story at its center, it's no wonder that this is still considered a favorite amongst film fans all over the world. We also...
-
Episode 082 - Footloose
A rural American town where dancing is banned may just be one of the most well-known and iconic premises in movie history. Who doesn't know the pitch for Footloose by now? With a lighter "Recently Watched" section, we do a deep dive into the 1984 original, and the 2011 remake of this beloved 80s...
-
Episode 081 - Good Will Hunting
Good Will Hunting may be famous for its plot summary more so than anything it shows on screen, but it has remained an extremely popular film for the last 22 years. Everyone loves the genius janitor with a tortured soul. Kate and Andrew share a few holiday-guilty pleasures they indulged in during...
-
Episode 080 - Close Encounters of the Third Kind
There's a reason that Steven Spielberg is the director with the most entries on our 100-film list. As far as movies are concerned, he practically IS American pop culture. Close Encounters is an enormously influential sci-fi work that couldn't be ignored. Phil compares HBO's The Vow to Starz's...
-
Episode 079 - Donnie Darko
For some of the films on our list, they are inescapable titans of pop culture - E.T., Forrest Gump, The Sixth Sense. Others are more mysterious. We're aware of their existence and reputation, but there's little else we know for sure. Donnie Darko flew under the radar for a lot of people upon...
-
Episode 078 - Signs & The Sixth Sense
It's an entire episode dedicated to M. Night Shyamalan! There's no denying that Shyamalan dominated the early 2000's with his trademark twisty narratives. We have two entries on our official list, Signs and The Sixth Sense, as well as discussions on Unbreakable and The Village. Signs was always a...
-
Episode 077 - The Rocky Horror Picture Show
This the be-all-end-all of cult films: The Rocky Horror Picture show has been baffling, delighting, and inspiring audiences for 45 years! We got a chance to see this at a drive-in theater - which is about as close to the preferred format for watching this as we can get in 2020 - and we had a…
more -
Episode 076 - Borat
It may be surprising to see Borat on our list, but it's hard to understate just how prevalent this movie was when we were in high school. IT. WAS. EVERYWHERE. Along with this smash cult hit, we discuss Terrence Malick's The New World, Mike Leigh's Naked, HBO's The Vow, and more! Recently Watched…
more -
Episode 075 - Planet of the Apes
75 episodes! We replace our "Recently Watched" section to reflect on the show itself, look back on the last 25ish movies we have seen, and see what the end of the list is looking like. We finish up with Planet of the Apes (1968) and the prequels. 75% check-in - 1:11 Lost in Translation spoiler -...
-
Episode 074 - Thelma & Louise
It's our first episode recorded in Washington! Kate and Andrew give a brief recap of their move across the country, Phil discusses a handful of auteur-driven films, and we finally get to cross off the 90s hit Thelma & Louise! Similar to films like The Sixth Sense, and Planet of the Apes (our next...
-
Episode 073 - Cast Away
It's our last episode recorded in NJ! Cast Away served as a fitting send off for Andrew and Kate's last east coast episode. Thankfully, we didn't get stranded anywhere, and we didn't have to resort to eating each other or something. A slightly shorter episode due to some technical difficulties,...
-
Episode 072 - Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Now that Kate and Andrew are settled on the west coast, it's time to release episodes again! We were hoping to time this to the theatrical release of Bill & Ted Face the Music, but it was yet another bummer delay in 2020, which has been nothing but a major drag, dudes. But now it's coming out on...
-
Episode 071 - Batman Begins
Put your Bat-seatbelts on, folks, it's another long one. We dive into Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins! The predecessor to one of the most celebrated superhero films ever made, and an early trailblazer for the genre as a whole, couldn't be ignored. Along with Begins, we also share our thoughts…
more -
Episode 070 - American History X
The time has come for us to watch one of the more controversial films on our list, American History X. This depressingly relevant movie was released in 1998, but still managed to be divisive today. Our reactions were all over the place, and it was a lot of fun to mull this movie over together. We...
-
Episode 069 - Dazed and Confused
Back-to-back hangout movies? Yes please! Our follow up to American Graffiti is none other than Dazed and Confused. Iconic lines, existential pondering, sex, drugs, and rock n' roll - what else could you want in a movie? We also discuss Richard Linklater's spiritual successor, Everybody Wants...
-
Episode 068 - American Graffiti
It's time for American Graffiti, which is probably the coolest sounding title of any movie on our list. George Lucas' sophomore hit has been a staple of the hangout genre for decades. We also discuss Lost Highway, The Thin Red Line, and more! Recently Watched - 1:08 American Graffiti - 53:49...
-
Episode 067 - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
This sci-fi-packed episode features the beloved Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Star Trek is one of Andrew's biggest blind spots, in terms of pop culture.
