-
Nothing But Trouble (1991)
Join the siblings as we take a whacky trip to the deadly town of Valkenvania, as we discuss the gross out humor, this movie's advocates and detractors and 2Pac's cameo, among many other oddities on display in this oddball classic comedy. Twitter: @WeirdCinemaPod [email protected]
-
Outcast (2014)

Christa's pick this week introduces us to the Kaiju genre, has us addressing the shameless Indiana Jones plagiarism, and overall trying to keep track of all the crazy things in this movie with so many crazy things. Also we pitch our musical in which Mitch McConnell & Nancy Pelosi fall in love...
-
Cats (2019)
The siblings get into the Christmas spirit of anger after watching the live-action Cats for now the second time. What is up with the discrepancies in cat anatomy? Why does the CGI still look like a college student did it even though this is allegedly the "fixed" cut of this movie? Which renowned...
-
Fargo (1996)
The siblings return to the Coen Brothers with this dark-comedy crime thriller classic, featuring pregnant Frances McDormand and the most grading accents in film history. Christa tries to learn the ways of Minnesotans (aka Americans Trying to Be Canadian), and we witness cinema's best ever use of…

-
Bee Movie (2007)

-
I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017)
Christa tries weirdly to draft Frodo to the presidency. I like Melanie Lynsky's American accents. We try to make sense of the end. Join us as we join Lynsky on her quest to wipe out human evil/leave the planet, and try to make sense of the surreal cast of characters along the way.
-
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
TINA YOU FAT LARD, time to feed your ears some delicious podcast casserole. Join us as we discuss this feel-great 2000's comedy that makes us millennial long for our weird childhoods. Be forewarned, this is a very meandering episode. PROTECT OUR BUTTS!
-
Drive (2011)
Paul feels the techno while Christa falls asleep (literally at one point, can you hear it?) while covering this slow-burn action/drama/thriller. Christa requests more skull stomping. Marlin the Fish's voice is forever ruined. Paul does not cry. All this AND MORE
-
Coco (2017)
We dive into the Day of the Dead, Mexican culture generally, how Pixar hacks your emotions, and other musical musings as we cover Pixar's Coco. We get WEIRD-LY EXCITED about the music and animation in this movie and if you don't feel the same way, you are DEAD INSIDE. We were born to do this...

-
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
This movie (we think) can solve all of America's problems. And if it doesn't, well, it's a fun time while the world burns. Join us as we watch this movie about misunderstanding and being misunderstood. Bring your chainsaw. College kid blood everywhere.
-
Back to the Future (1985)
Our discussion of this classic "fun romp" that is also "totally deep" will have you SHAKING WITH LAUGHTER. Get it? Parkinson's. Also we talk about whether Gigawatts are real, and the fact that this movie has nothing to do with the future despite the suggestion of the title.
-
Midsommar (2019)
Are you ready to become one with nature, or something? Are you ready to eat a "body hair" sandwich? Are you ready to break up with your boyfriend in the most PERMANENT POSSIBLE WAY? If you answered yes, congratulations, you are on mushrooms, and you are also in the appropriate mental space to…

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
Ugh. This movie. We discuss how movies change when you are a kid vs. when you are an adult, the title character's utter insanity, what you could get away with in the 90's. There are also dolphins and Dan Marino.
-
The Witch (2015)
Art thou prepar-ed to meet the witch of the wood? Probably not, this movie is mega intense. We try to piece together what it all means, and why we are both (to varying degrees) enchanted by one Black Philip. Hold onto thine britches, we go deep in this episode.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
We discuss this classic adventure movie which amazed/traumatized us as children.

-
Raising Arizona (1987)
