Chew Bubblegum and Kick Ass

This podcast used to be about John Carpenter but we watched all his stuff. Now Brett, Dylan, and Tucker watch and talk about a set of movies revolving around a certain theme, such as movies that take place in a tall building, holiday horror, nostalgia films, and more. It's a very high-brow affair.

    Action Movies For The Other Guy: The Raid 2

    We're back this week to talk about Dylan's pick for a Brett action movie, The Raid 2. This movie kicks all sorts of ass, and is maybe one of the most Brett movies possible that doesn't have JCVD in it, so Dylan's chances are pretty good here.

  2. 192

    Action Movies For The Other Guy: True Lies

    We're back with Tucker's Action Movie For The Other Guy, Dylan being the other guy in this scenario, in which Tucker decided that if we were to do an action movie series, that Dylan likely would have picked True Lies.

What will Tucker pick for Dylan? What will Dylan pick for Brett? Listen and find out!

    Get Out Of My House: You're Next

    This week we're talking about Brett's pick for Get Out Of My House home invasion movies, You're Next.

Listen and find out!

  7. 187

    Get Out Of My House: Panic Room

    This week we're talking about Dylan's pick for our Get Out Of My House series, Panic Room. A movie about a group of robbers breaking into a big ass house to steal some bearer bonds (whatever those are), while Jodie Foster her kid have to hide in a panic room.

    This week we're talking about the first movie in our home invasion series, Get Out Of My House, Tucker's pick, Bone.

  11. 183

    Comedic Turn: Along Came Polly

    This week, we're talking about the final film in our Comedic Turn series, Along Came Polly. Featuring the comedic turn of Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

  12. 182

    Comedic Turn: The Nice Guys

    This week we're talking about Tucker's Comedic Turn pick, The Nice Guys. Featuring a two-for-one comedic turn with Ryan Gosling AND Russell Crowe. Sure seems like this might be a gum-shoe-in to win based on that alone.

  17. 177

    Dramatic Turn: Stranger Than Fiction

    This week, we're talking about Brett's pick for our Dramatic Turn series, Stranger Than Fiction with Will Ferrell, even though the movie is mostly a comedy, Will Ferrell's performance is mostly straight and one of the more dramatic performances he's given in his career, at least that what Brett is going to try to convince you.

  18. 176

    Dramatic Turn: Punch Drunk Love

    This week we're talking about the first movie in our Dramatic Turn series, Punk Drunk Love starring Adam Sandler in the movie that showed he was more than just The Waterboy. Will it be the most dramatic turn? Listen along and find out.

  22. 172

    Guilty As Charged: Jagged Edge

    This week we're taking the stand once again to cross-examine Tucker's pick for our Guilty As Charged series, Jagged Edge. Does Jagged Edge deserve to be considered the top courtroom movie? We'll be the judge of that.

  23. 171

    Guilty As Charged: My Cousin Vinny
