Episodes
-
Alita: Battle Angel - The Movie with No Audience
This week we're talking about Alita and, despite what our title may suggest, we didn't hate it. Heck, Jackson even liked it. We're just kind of confused by it, though.
-
ROMA - The Banality of Death
This week, we take a far more serious look at ROMA, the incredible work that went into it and the overwhelming banality of death. Plus a brief discussion of chickens.
-
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc - Shootey Refutey Live
Its the first show we recorded live! We talked about the characters we loved, the people we'll miss and the deaths that hurt us the most. Join us every month for our live video game discussions!
-
BlacKkKlansman - Oops! All Racists!
When BlacKkKlansman came out, Jackson was out of the country. Which was a bummer, cus we really wanted to talk about it. Thankfully, it got nominated for Best Picture in the Oscars so hey, here we are!
-
Velvet Buzzsaw - A Satire that Kiiiiinda works
Its another divisive episode! Sean talks at length about why the movie doesn't work, and Jackson defends the good with all his might. Also, Jackson dives into the man who may have inspired the premise of the movie!
-
Alien Covenant - The Highs and Lows
Its the last episode of out Alien month, and man is it a doozy. Sean makes some harsh accusations while Jackson is far more forgiving of COVENANT's more.... questionable choices. Plus, our final rankings of the Alien series!
-
Prometheus - The Second Best ALIEN movie? Yup.
Sean's dropping the hot takes - Is PROMETHEUS the second best ALIEN movie? He thinks so. References - Patrick (H) Willems: SHUT UP ABOUT PLOT HOLES
-
Alien: Resurrection - Let Chris Hemsworth Hang Dong
We're kind of burying the lede with this one, as we have a real conversation about Alien: Resurrection full of real debate and stimulating conversation. But also come to an important realization. #LetChrisHemsworthHangDong
-
Alien 3 - Alien Month begins with a deeply flawed movie!
Alien month begins! Sean is already exhausted, Jackson adopts a new identity while defending Alien 3 and we talk morality shifts from one Alien movie to the next. Also apologies for the audio quality on Jackson's end - We're setting up new microphones and some issues may be present, but it should...
-
2018 Recap and the Second Annual Horsies
We've done it. Its officially an annual award ceremony! And we're talking about our favorite movies, the saddest deaths, the most pointless deaths, the Person Burgers and more!

-
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - The Best Individual Spider-Man Movie
It's Part 2 of our Double Episode Day! We're closing our weeks long discussion of Spider-Man with the newest movie, and, just like everyone else, we freaking loved it. Shocker. Sources: MovieBob - BIG PICTURE: GWEN STACY: MARVEL'S EXQUISITE CORPSE
-
Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - We are staunch defenders of Spider-Man 3 now.

-
Raimi's Spider-Man 1 & 2 - A Loving Deconstruction
With Into The Spider-Verse coming out in a little over a week, we're going back to the old Spideys, starting with Raimi's first two! Are they as good as we remember? (Yes.) Next week we look at the "bad" Spideys and debate which is worse: Spider-Man 3 or The Amazing Spider-Man 2!
-
File Progress JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - Stands and Apes and Poop, oh my
You ask, we deliver! We're back with part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and boy do we have some hot takes. But first, Jackson's breaks down why the format may have changed and Sean wonders why he lets people drag him into this yet again.
-
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald - Things. Just. Keep. Happening. Plus Predictions!
This movie is a train wreck. Jackson wanted to talk about Harry Potter and he could have chosen literally any other movie, but no. It has to be this nightmare. Though we do have so fun predicting the future plot twists they're gonna try and dump on us.
-
Overlord - The Best Video Game Movie OR The Existential Horrors of a War Movie
This episode went places we weren't expecting.
-
Upgrade - We're sorry.
This week we planned to talk about Upgrade. And we did! For all of about five minutes, then veered off into a delirium that comes from both hosts being exhausted but still trying to create a show. Upgrades pretty good though.
-
Over The Garden Wall - Death in Children's Cartoons
It's our Halloween episode and we're talking about one of Sean's favorite fall traditions - Over the Garden Wall! Its an episode full of death, themes and spooks! What a concept! Also, this Saturday, Nov. 3rd is Extra Life's Day of Play and Sean is streaming for 12 straight hours in support of...
-
The Hate U Give - Jackson Discusses Storytelling in the YA World
The Hate U Give is a wonderful movie, full of deeper themes and important messages. We don't really talk about that, instead focusing on how the narrative plays with established tropes to create deeper meaning within the YA world.
-
Bad Times at the El Royale - Flawed, but Adored
Oh thank god, its a new release that we actually really liked. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Still a great movie? 100%.
-
Venom - Enom Enom Enom
Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom Enom

-
Predator (1987) - The Yin to Alien's Yang
We're back with a vengeance. Dragon Ball References? Check. Child Hate? Check. Inscrutable themes that may or may not exist, depending on how you view the movie? ABSOLUTELY. Its 1987's deeply stupid (but very enjoyable) Predator!
-
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - Just Qui-Gon Things

-
Little Miss Sunshine - Just Pretend to be Normal (Featuring Cori!)
Jackson is far, far away living the dream of all weebs. Meanwhile, Sean is stuck without his usual cohost, so we'd like to introduce our first ever guest, Cori! Cori brings with her Little Miss Sunshine, a surprisingly funny exercise in misery!
-
Future World (Not That One) - James Franco Makes a Porno
This is a very special episode for us. We're both in town together, we got to sit down and watch the film together, its all about togetherness. Its also a nightmare of a movie with a mind boggling plot, an insane cast and no explanation of how it came to be.
-
The Darkest Minds - Definitely not just the X-Men
In this episode Jackson comes clean, Sean becomes the villain and we talk all about the wild switching between incredibly dark moments and happy time road-trip that is The Darkest Minds! Also, we have bonus shout-outs to the Art Your Way Foundation, a non-profit that looks to work with bullied...

-
Sorry to Bother You - Sometimes, Violence IS the Answer
We got a bit of a shorter episode for you this week because we are two super white dudes and you should really take in media from people closer to this issue. That said, its a great f*cking movie and you should all watch it. Go read: A.T. McWilliams - Sorry to Bother You, Black Americans and the...
-
Won't You Be My Neighbor - A Meta Commentary of a Meta Commentary
Yeah the title is a little up our own butts, but hey, so is the episode over this charming, charming documentary. Sources: James Bridle: Something is wrong on the internet
-
Our One Year Special! - The first Purge VS The First Purge
We've been debating death for a year now, so we take the opening of this show to answer some audience questions! What was REALLY the first episode? Is Hurricane Heist actually worse than The Star Wars Holiday Special? Plus, we dive into the Purge series with both the first Purge and The First...
-
Jurassic World: Forgotten Kingdom - The Better Hurricane Heist
JW:FK is everything we wanted Hurricane Heist to be. Dumb, nonsensical and all around so-bad-its-good. So we rip it apart and talk about why it sucked! And even discuss how death plays into that - Novel in a podcast about death in movies, we know!
-
The Incredibles 2: Popcorn VS Child
Fuller House. The Dread Popcorn Wars. Just terrible introductions. What to these all have in common? We talk about them in our episode about The Incredibles 2, obviously.
-
Hereditary - Genuinely Upsetting
What is there to say about Hereditary? Well quite a lot, honestly. But most of it is spoilers, so just check out the episode.

The Incredibles - Gettin Rand-y

Solo: A Star Wars Story - Characterization is a Sine Wave
This week we spend a lot of time bemoaning Star Wars, debating the merits of Solo's character arch...wheel...thing and make fun of L3-37's name for a bit.
-
Deadpool 2 - Building a Better (Person)Burger
It's the return of the Person Burger! And the references to Kingsman 2 don't stop there either. We talk fridging, gruesome deaths and action comedy sequels. Plus, we edge closer to just being a podcast about Dragon Ball Z. It's coming and we all know it. References -...
-
Inception - How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real
This week we're talking about one of Jackson's favorite movies, Inception! What role does death play? What's up with the ending? Does any of it matter anyway? Do I? Do you?
-
The Iron Giant - The Sweet Boy
There's a few weeks before the next big movie comes out, so we're diving into movies we already love. This week we're looking at one of Sean's favorite movies, The Iron Giant! Does it hold up? ...Yes. Yes it does. Signature Edition Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSjqF5tR894
-
Infinity War - Thanos is an Incel
We cover a lot of ground this week, and almost all of it has to do with Infinity War. Some of it has to do with Mickey Rourke. Some is Suicide Squad.
-
The MCU, Death and Infinity War - Boy do we hope we're wrong
This week we're discussing how the MCU has handled death up to this point. Where does it get tension from? Should we keep killing the villains? Plus, we theorize about who dies in Infinity War. And boy do we hope we're wrong about this one.
-
Eraserhead - Urkel Not Withstanding
In honor of joining the awesome 25yearslatersite.com team, we figured we would embrace our first ever Lynch film. So here we are, diving into the surreal, wild, and incredibly uncomfortable Eraserhead!
-
A Quiet Place - This movie belongs in the Cloverfield Canon
This week we're talking about the masterfully crafted A Quiet Place. And while there's no denying its wonderfully done, is the story as good? We debate.
