Episodes

  1. Episode 179: Children of the Corn

    The Halloween episode we were all waiting for. Children murdering adults because a scary unknown monster told another child to tell the rest of the children to do it? Pretty fun premise. We talk about the dangers of AI and probably a bunch of other stuff that was super exciting as is on brand for...

  2. Episode 178: Barb Wire

    Pamela Anderson stars as a bounty hunter in the faraway world of 2017 and she even got a matching tattoo! Explosions and death, and that's not even the half of it. Politics take up a large portion of this episode as Jesse talks about the time he had a knife fight with a mayoral candidate.

  3. Episode 177: First Blood

    Half of the episode is just talking about famous people we know, the other half is talking about the 1982 action film starring Sylvester Stallone. Another all-time episode.

  4. Episode 176: 9 to 5

    Don't we all just dream of ways to murder our boss? Sure, they already did this premise in Horrible Bosses, but something tells me Dolly Parton did it a little better, 30 years earlier. Big trivia episode, and of course, a few technical difficulties that you won't even notice.

  5. Episode 175: Donkey Skin

    The 1970's called, they want their French cult classic fairytale film starring painted people and animals back. Who finds these films, available exclusively on YouTube. We talk about mediocre movies so please don't take this too seriously.

  6. Episode 174: Devil In A Blue Dress

    Denzel Washington has saved the podcast. We are back in a way nobody ever thought possible. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this episode felt a lot like the first time we decided to talk about something other than a movie. Was this the best episode since Episode 76: Point Break? A dog…

  7. Episode 173: Shaolin Soccer

    Your Mother Ate My Dog is back after a month long sabbatical, where a bunch of stuff happened but they didn't want to talk about it. Josh gets sick and coughs once, and also his dog barks and was generally annoying for a bit. But we are back and we talk about soccer and films and moving and more!...

  8. Episode 172: Enter The Dragon

    World Cup soccer and some Bruce Lee Kung-Fu? Another classic episode and maybe this time we figured out how to hold up Josh's laptop so that it functions properly? We catch up and head back to the 70's where cinema was good again.

  9. Episode 171: Boogie Nights

    It's the annual Jesse Birthday Episode and the boys go ham over some Boogie Nights. Josh eats spring rolls into the microphone while they talk about the World Cup and Obsession and of course, pornography. A wild one from start to finish.

  10. Episode 170: Monkeybone

    Brendan Fraser had a great late 1990's/early 2000's. Was Monkeybone a good movie? Do dogs bark? Soccer is soon, who ya got? It's holiday time, and one of us is alone and afraid. Join us for a fun talk about love and religion.

  11. Episode 169: Lords of Dogtown

    The Lords of Your Mother Ate My Dogtown are back with this skateboarding classic that had us doing ollies and 540 backflips and what have you. Talking about fun times in our world and just honestly having a good time doing what we like to do, much like the young men in the film.

  12. Episode 168: Freeway

    Back after a few weeks off, the podcast starts with some poop talk and ends with Josh refusing to speak. You think we would learn some lessons after 5 years of this but nah. The movie was watched and things were talked about. Jesse goes on a rant.

  13. Episode 167: Lost Highway

    We are back with some video as we delve deep into the world of David Lynch. I don't understand the movie but I feel like the main character is very relatable. No, I don't want to kill my wife but it would be fun to leave my life as a saxophonist to become a car mechanic. Anyways.

  14. Episode 166: Little Otik

    This was a podcast about a little Czech film called Little Otik. It was a pain in the ass, much like the main character in the film, which is free on YouTube. If you loved Groot and you love the Pokemon Sudowoodo, and hell, if you love wood in general, this film is for you. No video this week due...

  15. Episode 165: They Live

    Running 10 km's seems pretty easy, but yet so is putting on a pair of sunglasses and killing aliens. A great summer film. No notes.

  16. Episode 164: White Chicks

    A problematic film in 2004 is now in your ears for the year 2026 and it wasn't bad! Sure, it's not going to win any Oscars but ever since Will Smith hit Chris Rock that whole production has gone downhill. We talk about other movies and POKEMON.

  17. Episode 163: Ronin

    Robert De Niro is known as a man who stands up for what he believes in. Jesse channeled his inner De Niro and let us all know how he felt about this 1998 action film. We caught up, talked about our lives and birthdays and people who died, then of course movies and stuff. Is watching two episodes…

    more
  18. Episode 162: The Long Kiss Goodnight

    What an explosion of explosions and one liners from this Geena Davis-Samuel L. Jackson joint. The Oscars happened and we chat about meeting up and racing each other.

  19. Episode 161: Sightseers

    Another British film? Come on guys, there are other countries out there. Oh, there's murder in it? Kind of strange that you want to watch a movie like this. What does it say about you or the podcast in general? Anyways, the time changed and we are all messed up.

  20. Episode 160: Stuart: A Life Backwards

    Episode 160 has a British film that is charming but also depressing? Jesse must have picked this film. Tom Hardy is stellar but Benedict Cumberbatch is here too. We catch up and promise to go on more runs in order to train for a marathon. A dog barks.

  21. Episode 159: A Ghost Story

    Ghosts? In February? In perhaps the most exposive episode of podcasting yet, Josh and Jesse dig in to the biggest issues troubling our youths today. Nothing is off limits, and that's just how they like it. You're listening to the most controversial episode that has ever aired and we are not...

  22. Episode 158: Good Boy

    The comments section takes over this week's episode as we delve deep into the romantic horror film that is GOOD BOY. One of the hosts just got a puppy so this hits home for him, while the other one only owns cats so he's a bit laissez-faire or whatever about the whole ordeal. Another celebrity...

  23. Episode 157: Battle Royale

    The boys watch another old (2000) movie from Japan about the ancient art of putting children on an island and telling them to be the last one left. Lots of dog talk, and a very in depth explanation of the current reality television climate. You love love? You will not want to miss this one!

  24. Episode 156: Kes

    We return home from a quick trip to a small English village where we did not understand a word that they said. Some aspects of this film were either the best or the worst that have come out of a podcast movie ever. Also a stabbing is discussed.

  25. Episode 155: Waiting For Guffman

    It's 1996, you just got back from the theatre. It was a really odd telling of your town's history. There were aliens from Mars. The podcast puts somebody to sleep this week after apologizing for all the comments we make when we think you aren't listening. Our honesty therapy session is over and…

    more
  26. Episode 154: Freaked

    Another birthday episode and the start of our 5th year as a podcast. Wait, does that math check out? We check in on each other's holidays, answer a new set of calendar Jeopardy questions and dig deep into perhaps the most underrated movie we have ever watched on the podcast: Freaked! Also we both...

  27. Episode 153: Mixed Nuts

    The last episode of 2025 produced a stinker of a Christmas movie, but we had a lovely time TRASHING a local hospital, answering the final questions of the year and talking about all the socks Josh has gotten so far. A special episode for a special year. Happy holidays!

  28. Episode 152: Synecdoche, New York

    It's depressing outside and now it's depressing inside after finishing this film. An indie darling, it goes deep into weird while also delving deep into what makes us human and all that jazz. No jazz talk this week, that will return next time. Christmas presents, is it too late to buy them and...

  29. Episode 151: The Phoenician Scheme

    Wes Anderson pops by and talks to us about his newest film, The Phoenician Scheme. Also, Christmas talk and a further discussion about what happens to us after death. Also, dinosaurs. Are they real? We dig deep into quantum theory and speak to Albert Einstein about his famous works. Also, poetry...

  30. Episode 150: Klute

    Huge milestone episode for the podcast, and a 1971 classic is picked for the special edition. Jazz, dogs and more is discussed and we welcome a guest at the end for some talk about the wonderful Canadian territory of the Yukon. Enjoy!

  31. Episode 149: The Phantom

    Billy Zane as a superhero named the Phantom, who's dad was kidnapped and murdered by pirates in the 1500's and now he's out for revenge. Jesse gets a haircut and is excited about a jazz show, while Josh talks about his dog's farts. This and more!

  32. Episode 148: Mr. Nice Guy

    Episode 148 kicks off with a Jackie Chan movie where he does the unthinkable - leaves his cushy TV chef job and fights an evil crime boss. We also discuss dogs and changing tires and Jesse rates cassette tapes. Another day in the life!

  33. Episode 147: Arachnophobia

    It's our annual Halloween episode, and this year we are digging in to the second scariest spider movie of all time (behind Eight Legged Freaks, of course). John Goodman puts on a performance to remember and Jesse gets the chills just thinking about those things crawling all over his skin. Nobody...

  34. Episode 146: Gymkata

    Oh, it's called Gymkata because of the GYM-nastics element of the film. I get it now. Huge film of 1985, Gymkata was Olympian Kurt Thomas' big breakout role. His only breakout role. His only role. It was a movie and we talked about it, and we also had a big life changing announcement halfway...

  35. Episode 145: Pet Sematary

    Yes, I know that's not how you spell cemetary but this is Stephen King's book and Stephen King's mess of a movie. It's Halloween month, and this week's spooky film has to do with resurrecting pets and then maybe humans. Actually, don't watch the film. Instead, go be with your families. Hug them,...

  36. Episode 144: Sisu

    Fnally, a Finnish John Wick movie. Man and dog try to survive in 1944 against a bunch of bad people who may or may not fight for a really bad guy. Who will win? How many times will Jesse mention that he's going "hands free" for the episode? Lots of questions and few answers! Enjoy!

  37. Episode 143: The Mighty Peking Man

    In honour of Jane Goodall and her untimely passing at the tender age of 91, we decided to watch her favourite monkey movie from the year 1977, The Mighty Peking Man. She found the cheetah scenes the most hilarious.

  38. Episode 142: Clue

    Love board games? Love murder mysteries? Love podcasts? Love cats? Love trivia? Love obscure early 2000's horror movies filmed in and around your hometown? Love Lady Gaga? Love Tim Curry? Love headphones? Love finding out which actor has appeared in the most movies we've watched for the podcast?...

  39. Episode 141: Over The Top

    It's 1987 and you're at the movie theater. You love Sylvester Stallone. You drove here in your giant 18 wheeler truck and last week you beat a kid in a sanctioned arm wrestling event. This is your heaven. Also what a wild episode this was. Everything was backwards but it could be described as an...

  40. Episode 140: We're No Angels

    The boys are back after a summer holiday only to watch this STUNNER of a film with THREE legends on the screen. De Niro? Check. Penn? Check. DEMI FREAKIN' MOORE? You betch your bottom dollar. Could we see our first 10/10 movie score? This episode could change the way movies are rated in the future!

  41. Episode 139: Anora

    Finally, the boys watched the Best Picture Winner from the 2024 edition of the Academy Awards. It won a lot. Was it a winner in the eyes of these two buffoons? A lot to discuss.

  42. Episode 138: The Edge

    Imagine being in a small plane and being attacked by a bunch of geese which crashes your plane and you land in the forests of Alaska only to be eaten by the best bear actor to ever live. Well that's what happens and more when Alec Baldwin and Sir Anthony Hopkins learn to live and love again.…

    more
  43. Episode 137: Dogma

    The boys get religious with the 1999 Kevin Smith film Dogma. Sure, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are also in it, but Alan Rickman and an unnamed singer (spoiler) steal the show. We also catch up after an illness threatened to end a certain podcast host's life. The flu ain't no joke, y'all.

  44. Episode 136: The Night of the Hunter

    Another beautiful July night has us watching another interesting movie from the middle of the twentieth century. Quite a rambunctious episode where we actually end up rating and reviewing three different movies, before going on some tangents about driving and other stuff.

  45. Episode 135: Rope

    It's been a hot week so we thought we'd cool down with this Hitchcock classic about killing your pal and stuffing him in a box and then serving a dinner party on the box to unsuspecting guests. A good time was had, three cats made appearances and we talk about what's on Jesse's deck.

  46. Episode 134: Everything Is Illuminated

    The first podcast in the new house goes swimmingly as tahe internet is fast and the movies are good. Refreshed after a moving day from hell, the boys return to answer a months worth of Jeopardy questions and ruin season 12 of Survivor for you. We catch up and get serious about films. It's a new...

  47. Episode 133: Moving

    Your Mother Ate My Dog went pretty meta this week and watched a movie called Moving as they are moving in real life. It's crazy, but it's just what you can expect every week from the podcast. Other stuff was discussed as well, mostly naps and the science behind how they only work a certain...

  48. Episode 132: Sugar & Spice

    It's the 4th annual birthday episode for Jesse and it does not disappoint. A real milkshake, you could say. Talks about moving, movies, Survivor and more has this episode feeling like a real celebration. Plus Sugar & Spice wasn't even that bad.

  49. Episode 131: The Goonies

    The Goonies is a classic film from 1985, which came out before we were even born. We missed the Goonies train and never were in a spot where it was natural to just sit down and watch this film. Until now. There is a special guest host for a few minutes, so that's exciting. Also a lot of moving...

  50. Episode 130: Willow

    Your Mother Ate My Dog finally watched Willow, a fantasy movie from the 1980's starring Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer. No internet issues today! The boys talk about moving, corn, Survivor and Canada Post is not on strike.
