Trees in Space Show

On this week’s Trees in Space, Nate and Jason grapple with emotional monkeys, questionable road trip logistics, and the existential horror of RV toilets you’re not allowed to use. Listen as they debate the anatomy of the “hole song,” the plausibility of 2-day grave-robbing commutes, and whether wearing a monkey suit increases your odds on Tinder. Hilarity ensues, awkward family secrets are blurted out, and both hosts bravely face the cinematic wilds of Sunlight.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Get your popcorn ready as Jason and Nate hilariously dissect Sleepless in Seattle—the romantic "comedy" where mild stalking, childhood trauma, and questionable 90s parenting collide! Tune in for dramatic readings of bad reviews, the ethics of mental cheating, and the correct way to break up with someone over fine china.

Nate and Jason dive headfirst into A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, an artsy romance where doors in the woods lead to Canadian lighthouses, drama nerd flashbacks, and Whoppers with or without cheese. Alongside a GPS sales pitch laced with more F-bombs than a Quentin Tarantino script, the hosts debate whether dancing equals sex and if Margot Robbie’s face morphs into Emma Stone. Verdict: four trees, one stump, and zero USBs in Saturns.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

If you’ve ever woken up and thought, “Haven’t I read this newsletter before?”—don’t worry, you’re NOT trapped in a Groundhog Day-style time loop (as far as we know…). But we did just release a new episode where Jason and Nate relive every hilarious, existential, and oddly sinister moment of the 1993 comedy classic, Groundhog Day. 🌲 Episode Recap: Groundhog Day Audio Only Here’s the scoop: Ever wondered what happens when you trap a grumpy weatherman (Bill Murray) in a blizzard and 24-hour time loop? Spoiler: plenty of confusion, makeout sessions, and possibly demonic insurance agents. Jason dives deep into the “Groundhog Day plot holes” (Nancy disappears and reappears like a woodland spirit—what’s up with that?), while Nate explores important theories like: “Is Ned actually the devil?” We’re not saying yes, but we’re not saying no. There’s also an alarming realization that if you repeat a day long enough, you too could earn a medical degree, learn French, play piano like a pro, and possibly manipulate an entire town into thinking you’re a saint. Neat… and kinda scary. Wild Theories, Classic Jokes & Epic Shoutouts We cover it all: Is it Phil’s day that has to go “right”—or could the universe just be waiting for Ned Ryerson to finally sell his life insurance policy? Did Bill Murray rock the Clint Eastwood look? (Spoiler: Yes—cowboy hats tip to him) Why does the Groundhog get treated better than most humans, and is there an actual science to the "see your shadow = six more weeks of winter" biz? Our answer: probably not. Hot Takes from Listeners (and Us): “Worst movie ever made.” —Unimpressed Reviewer “Why isn’t this 100% on Rotten Tomatoes?” —Fervent Fan (and Jason’s new best friend) Both Jason and Nate agree: Andy McDowell is a national treasure and, yes, attractive enough for this or any other time loop. 🎧 Listen now, share with a friend, and let us know in the comments: Would you embrace a time loop? Or just eat all the donuts in Punxsutawney? Catch you next Monday on Trees in Space—unless we’re stuck in yesterday, again. (And again. And again.)

Hey Space Explorers! 🌲👾 We’re BEYOND pumped to drop this week’s brand new episode of Trees in Space, where your hosts Jason and Nate took on the 2025 Amazon original action-comedy Deep Cover—and trust us, the ride is wilder than a method-acting improv student on a Vespa. If you missed the thumbnail: Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed walk into London's gangland pretending to be dangerous criminals—all because Sean Bean's undercover cop needs a favor. What could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler: a lot.) Here’s what you’ll discover in this week’s hilariously honest review: 🌟 5 Things You’ll Take Away from the Episode What Happens When Genres Collide: Our hosts weigh in on whether the film’s blend of Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Ted Lasso, and John Wick is a recipe for gold or just cinematic Mad Libs. Streaming Originals: Blessing or Curse? Jason and Nate debate why some streaming movies can’t find their footing and if Deep Cover falls into the “could have been a classic” pit. Lighting Woes: Was it your TV or was the whole movie just… super dark? The guys commiserate over the shadowy cinematography—especially during those questionable chase scenes. Improv Gone Wild: Hear Jason and Nate break down why improv teachers and gangsters don’t always mix, and who truly nailed (or flubbed) their comedy chops. What Critics AND Fans Think: Get the scoop on the Rotten Tomatoes scores (90% critics, 79% audience!?) and how our hosts’ tree ratings compare. 🍄 Fun Fact from the Episode Did you know that Nate spotted absolutely NO boobies in this movie, while Jason claims there were some hiding behind Bryce Dallas Howard’s head during a strip club scene? Tune in to see if you can spot them—or if, just maybe, Nate needs to up his observational skills. 😂 🌳 Outro Whether you’re team “best streaming comedy find” or “I want my two hours back,” you’re bound to relate to at least one of this week’s wild listener reviews.

Welcome to a very merry and irreverent holiday episode of Trees in Space! This week, hosts Nate and Jason deck the podcast halls with the hilariously blasphemous classic, Monty Python’s Life of Brian. With Nate’s questionable history teacher VHS recommendations (don’t worry, he was 18—barely legal), and Jason’s newly shaven face (is there a colder mug in podcasting?), the duo bravely unwraps every absurd, politically incorrect, and surprisingly forward-thinking gag from the 1979 comedy.From aliens randomly abducting Brian mid-movie (seriously, why was that ship flying by?!), to the legendary “Biggest Dickus” and the eternal debate of gourd vs. sandal, they roast—sorry, “review”—everything that makes Life of Brian a perennial cult favorite and an unintentional Christmas movie (thanks, wrong address-wise men).Along the way, you’ll hear nostalgia, heated stump bumps (don’t ask, but somehow it involves nudity), and a smattering of serious hot takes about the film’s not-so-subtle jabs at religion, politics, and the many forms of human ridiculousness. If you’ve ever wondered why critiquing ancient Rome feels eerily familiar, or just want a good laugh courtesy of Monty Python’s holy chaos, get your holiday cheer (and maybe subtitles) ready! This episode is equal parts smart, silly, and satirical—and always looks on the bright side of life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Hey everyone and welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where we dig into movies like we’re rooting around in the backyard for that lost frisbee. This week, Jason and Nate are putting on their thermal underwear, firing up their snowmobiles, and serving up audio-only, Midwestern warfare as they review the 1993 comedy classic Grumpy Old Men. What happens when two sarcastic, fish-gut-flinging old neighbors—armed with decades of petty pranks and an arsenal of snowmobiles—fall headlong into a geriatric love triangle with a new firecracker lady across the street?Well, it’s heaters-on-high, pride on ice, and more late-life romance than you can shake a fishing pole at! From miserable taxes, spicy casseroles, and epic ice fishing fails to the kind of friendly neighborhood rivalry that makes you simultaneously want to hug your neighbor and put a fish in his car, Jason and Nate break down the laughs, the cringe, and all the heartfelt moments. Is Grumpy Old Men a Christmas movie? Or just the kind of holiday gathering that involves more insults than hugs? And just how many trees (and stumps) does this frosty feud deserve? Tune in for a review so lively, it’ll melt the Minnesota ice—and maybe inspire you to call your crankiest relative. Stay with us for fan feedback, critic grumbles, and the legendary Pops with the best (and worst) double entendres you’ve ever heard. So kick back, feed the algorithm monster, take a chance, and join us on Trees in Space for Grumpy Old Men—where the only thing colder than the weather is the neighborly sarcasm.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to Trees in Space—the only podcast daring enough to watch Rocky IV through untrained, nostalgia-laced eyeballs, while arguing if a boxing movie set in Siberia counts as a Christmas classic. This week, hosts Nate and Jason take on the 1985 Cold War punchfest where hearts are broken, robots get waxed, and the US and USSR duke it out in the ring…on December 25th. Jason comes in swinging with all the reasons Rocky IV doesn’t really feel like a sports movie (spoiler: it's mostly montages and music videos), while Nate tries valiantly to explain what’s happening despite never having seen the first three Rocky's. Together, they attempt to piece together why Rocky needs to avenge Apollo Creed, debate whether dying makes Apollo a compelling character, and question the efficiency of the Dragos’ marriage techniques. From Paulie’s questionable robot obsession to the surprisingly patriotic boxing match that, according to one reviewer, might have single-handedly defeated communism, the duo breaks down everything that makes Rocky IV a beloved-but-bizarre holiday tradition. And yes, they're rating it with trees. So grab your VHS, lace up your gloves, and get ready for more hot takes than a Russian power punch—this is the Trees in Space show, where the only rule is: never be friends with Rocky if you value your survival.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where your favorite film-loving duo takes movies with trees (sometimes metaphorical, sometimes literal), flings them into the cinematic cosmos, and hacks through the underbrush of plot, character, and whatever else grows wild in 80s action flicks.This week, Jason and Nate tackle the 1987 classic Lethal Weapon—the movie that asks, "What if Christmas wasn't about presents and family, but instead about bullets, bad decisions, and Mel Gibson’s mullet?" The guys dig into whether Lethal Weapon is truly a Christmas movie or just Die Hard’s chaotic cousin, why the most awkward birthday in cinema involves a bathtub, and whether the infamous ‘stump bump’ means anything if there’s too much eggnog flying around.With explosive takes on everything from suspicious Christmas decorations to Danny Glover’s questionable running style, this episode promises action, nostalgia, and deep existential questions like, “Seriously, was that a Santa on the roof or just leftover pizza?” Plus, they weigh in on what the critics thought, what the fans thought, and more importantly—would they recommend it to their surgeon? (Spoiler: at least one stump is involved.) Get ready to laugh, reminisce, and possibly reevaluate your holiday movie playlist—Lethal Weapon is locked, loaded, and about to crash-land into your podcast feed!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome to Trees in Space, where our fearless hosts Nate and Jason take movie debates to galactic levels—even if only one of them thinks Die Hard should orbit in the Christmas movie universe. In this episode, Nate admits to finally watching Die Hard from start to finish (yes, really), while Jason clings desperately to his "not a Christmas film" badge with the passion of a man who just stepped on Lego barefoot. Together, they dissect office party chaos, German terrorists with questionable shoe sizes, the mystery of disappearing bodies, and exactly how much blood you can lose before your shirt changes color entirely. From discussing whether John McClane’s magical vent-crawling skills are part of Santa’s canon to giving critical stump bumps for unexpected boobies, this episode asks: Is Die Hard overrated, too long, or just the right ratio of holiday carols and machine guns? Plus, they read out some gloriously unhinged internet reviews, compare Hans Gruber’s thievery to Schindler’s List mechanics, and finally—after much debate—agree that Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie, but definitely worthy of movie night with your surgeon. Tune in for action, snark, debates, and at least one host wishing a mild curse on whoever started the “Die Hard Is a Christmas Movie” tradition. It’s all here, in this week’s festive (but not too festive) episode of Trees in SpaceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to Trees in Space—the only podcast where your movie opinions get the oxygen they deserve, and every genre is fair game! This week, Jason and Nate take us on an epic road trip down memory lane with the 1994 comedy classic “Dumb and Dumber.” Yes, the one with Jim Carrey sucking his thumb in a toilet stall, a briefcase full of cash, and more haircut disasters than a bargain barbershop. Jason and Nate try to squeeze every ounce of comedic lemon from this cult favorite, debating which guy is dumb and which guy is dumber (and finally settling it, for the sake of humanity). They reminisce over iconic moments—dead parakeets sold to blind kids, some creative uses for taco seasoning, and a cop with the worst luck in beverage selection. The duo also tackles legendary lines (“So you’re saying there’s a chance!”), questionable road trip logic (Aspen to Lincoln, anyone?), and hotel payment mysteries only the ’90s could provide. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’d recommend this movie to a surgeon (spoiler: please don’t), or how Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey got confused for each other in a one-star review, this is the episode for you. Buckle up for laughs, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of groan-worthy bathroom humor as the guys determine if “Dumb and Dumber” is worthy of an entire forest or just a lonely stump. Hit play and join Jason and Nate as they witness the madness, read the wildest reviews, and decide if this classic holds up—one stump at a time. 00:00 "Trees in Space: Dumb & Dumber"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to Trees in Space! This week, Nate and Jason dive face-first into the absurd fever dream that is the 2023 film "Dream Scenario," starring the perpetually perplexed Nicolas Cage as a hapless family man who accidentally becomes the most unwanted viral sensation—by showing up in millions of strangers’ dreams, and not in a sexy way. Is it fantasy? Horror? Comedy? Drama? Or just proof that cinema sometimes likes to leave you with more questions than answers and a really awkward fart joke? Join our hosts as they unpack Cage’s transformation from invisible professor to dream-dwelling nightmare, debate whether social media cancel culture is scarier than the actual nightmares, and try to figure out if anyone—ANYONE—dreamed about barbecue. There’s talk of MacGuffins, accidental bodily explosions, random loogies on sandwiches, hammer-induced existential crises, and enough amateur psychoanalysis to make Freud spin in his grave. Listen in for their own delightfully chaotic hot takes, a fresh batch of weird and wonderful online reviews—including one listener who thinks the best part of the whole movie is Cage’s flatulence—and, of course, the world’s weirdest five-star ratings. Want closure, catharsis, or at least an explanation for what you just watched? Too bad! As Nate and Jason discover, Dream Scenario leaves you dangling in the wind…just like poor Nicolas Cage’s belt loop. So grab your popcorn (and maybe a therapist), and tune in for a guaranteed trip through cinematic confusion. It’s Trees in Space, where even bad movies get their moment in the spotlight—farts and all.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome to another wild ride on Trees in Space! This week, your hosts Nate and Jason sink their teeth into the 1985 cult classic (or is it?) Teen Wolf, starring a young, pre-time-traveling Michael J. Fox. In this episode, they unravel the "plot"—if you can call it that—of a movie where a high schooler morphs into a werewolf with barely a whimper from anyone, basketball teams are inexplicably stacked with 30-year-olds, and the soundtrack is soaked in gloriously cheesy ‘80s synth. Nate and Jason tackle the questionable hijinks of whipped cream house parties, legendary irresponsible party kegs, and wardrobe decisions that would confuse even Madonna. They ask the important questions, like: Why is nobody shocked at a werewolf slam dunking buckets? Why is the love interest making out with everyone (in costume changes worthy of a Madonna concert)? Where the heck is the plot? And can merely swapping a word let you steal Spider-Man’s catchphrase? Packed with hilarious breakdowns, pointed listener reviews, and a firm refusal to recommend this movie to their surgeons, this episode is part nostalgia trip, part fashion nightmare, and part werewolf identity crisis. Whether you remember doing the Thriller dance at prom or just wonder what the heck movies got away with in the ‘80s, “Teen Wolf Audio Only” will have you howling with laughter—and maybe scratching your head at just how weirdly charming a cinematic trainwreck can be.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, where your favorite movie-loving duo, Jason and Nate, blast off through the galaxy of cinema armed with nostalgia, questionable judgment, and more movie quotes than is probably healthy for two grown men. This week, the guys climb aboard the 1980 comedic flight of fancy, Airplane!, a film so packed with rapid-fire jokes, parody, and timeless one-liners that the only thing landing safely is your sense of humor. Get ready for a high-flying analysis fueled by contagious laughter, random deep cuts, and the shared realization that comedy in the ’80s was both edgy and endlessly quotable. The guys dissect everything from Leslie Nielsen’s breakthrough deadpan to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s “I’m just here to fly the plane, kid” energy, and of course, that infamous “bump” that somehow snuck past the original PG rating. This episode is your boarding pass to everything that makes Airplane! a cult classic—utterly ridiculous, unexpectedly smart, and maybe just a little bit problematic by today’s standards (but hey, that’s what makes it worth the trip down memory runway). So buckle up, put your seat backs in the upright position, and try not to spit out your coffee from laughing, because surely you can’t be serious about missing this one (and yes, we’re serious—and don’t call us Shirley).Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the only podcast with roots in outer space and branches in the world of ridiculous cinema! This week, Jason and Nate boldly venture where no critics should ever have to go: the cinematic graveyard of 2018’s The VelociPastor. After unearthing this fossilized fever dream, the guys struggle to define what, exactly, they’ve watched—is it horror? Comedy? The missing link between “Dexter” and “Kung Pao: Enter the Fist?” One thing’s for certain: it’s so bad, it’s kind of perfect. Listen in as Nate and Jason recount the saga of a priest who, after a spiritual quest to “China” (read: a handful of backyard trees), gains the power to turn into a dinosaur and fight crime—guided by a wise (and, apparently, wonderful) hooker with a heart of gold. They’ll dissect the movie’s questionable FX, killer one-liners, and the surprising acting chops of a leading lady who might just be the film’s saving grace. Expect hot takes, laugh-out-loud moments, and shamelessly nitpicked movie magic—plus plenty of side-splitting reviews from audiences who either loved this absurdity or couldn’t survive the CGI. Whether you’re a disciple of the “so-bad-it’s-good” genre or just here for the banter, grab your communion wine—err, grape juice—and get ready for a review that’ll leave you howling like an unhinged White Ninja.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the movie review podcast where we hack our way through films of all genres and tell you which ones are “worthy of the forest” and which deserve no more than a rotting stump. In this episode, hosts Nate and Jason bravely enter the woods of questionable horror logic as they revisit Friday the 13th Part 2—the 1981 (oops, Nate calls it 1982!) slasher sequel that brought Jason Voorhees out of the lake and onto dry land… despite having already killed him off in the original. The guys break down everything from confusing timelines (Was Jason supposed to be 12? 33? Bad at math? Yes!) to continuity errors that’ll make your head spin faster than a machete swing. They debate essential cinematic issues like: Did we really need that four-minute flashback? (Spoiler: no.) Is farmhand-strength Jason scary, or just a guy with a flour sack on his head who struggles with Paul in a fistfight? And what’s the deal with the world’s worst plumbing, cars that break down on cue, and counselors who apparently don’t notice their cars being towed away right in front of them? Expect a hilarious exchange about the film’s logic gaps, counting errors, brown underwear (seriously), which on-screen scares land—and which kills are strictly for the stunt bump. Plus: one host defends the movie’s place in the Friday the 13th mythos, while the other recommends it only as a form of light torture… for your least favorite sibling. Get ready, because this isn’t just a review—this is an autopsy with jokes, messy plot threads, and just enough campfire storytelling to make you paranoid the next time you hear a twig snap. Grab your hockey mask, fire up your skepticism, and join us for a romp through the hilariously flawed woods of Friday the 13th Part 2 on Trees in Space!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, where we bravely plow through every bizarre movie genre the universe can throw at us—armed only with questionable nostalgia, overly honest hot takes, and the kinds of jokes that only make sense to people who may or may not still be thirteen at heart. This week, your hosts Nate and Jason take a hilariously awkward deep dive into the cult-classic oddity that is Frankenhooker (1990). Imagine: a medical school dropout, a tragic lawnmower “accident,” a fiancée whose head ends up in a fish tank, and a super-convoluted plan to reassemble lost love with... let’s just call them “parts” from New York’s finest streetwalkers—and a lot of super crack. Yes, you read that right. Nate and Jason duke it out over whether Frankenhooker is a misunderstood B-movie treasure or a monstrous mishmash of questionable prosthetics and even more questionable plot choices. Expect breakdowns of the film’s delightfully terrible special effects, philosophical debates on purple hair, explosive reviews (literally... exploding people everywhere), and a heartfelt appreciation for practical effects over bad CGI—all with a splash of 90s VHS charm. By the end, you'll have heard five-star worship, one-star rants, and a ratings system so convoluted even Jason has trouble explaining the difference between “four trees and a stump” and “one tree with a stump.” If you’re in the mood for a review that's as weirdly captivating as the film itself, you’re in for a treat. So grab your remote-controlled lawnmower, pour one out for Elizabeth’s head, and get ready: it’s time for Trees in Space to go where no (sane) reviewer has gone before—into the wild, stitched-together world of Frankenhooker.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

We’ve laced up for another week of movie magic, and this episode is packed with throwbacks, witticisms, and everything Robert Redford. On the latest episode of Trees in Space, Jason and Nate take on the 1992 hacker heist comedy-thriller, Sneakers. From its legendary cast to its very ‘90s depiction of tech, we cracked open what makes this cult classic (and maybe the occasional Volkswagen) tick.Here’s what you’ll uncover in this episode:5 Keys You'll Learn This Week:What Sets “Sneakers” Apart: Get a breakdown of the plot and why this hacker heist stands out among other 90s thrillers.Why the Cast Has Us Geeking Out: Jason and Nate wax poetic about legends like Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Aykroyd (in a role you might not expect), and a younger Ben Kingsley lookalike.Is It a Heist or a Laugh Attack? The hosts debate if “Sneakers” lands as a true thriller or if it’s more about clever one-liners and quirky team dynamics.Tech Talk – 90s Style: They question just how plausible the hacking and code-breaking tech really is, and whether you could, in fact, crawl through those drop ceilings (spoiler: don’t try this at the office).Nostalgia vs. New Eyes: Was this the “Ocean’s Eleven” before “Ocean’s Eleven”? How does it hold up decades later, and does the younger generation buy into the ‘92 hype?Fun Fact from the Episode:Did you know Dan Aykroyd’s conspiracy-loving character foreshadows his future gig as a paranormal/pseudoscience host on the History Channel? Only on Trees in Space do you get that kind of full-circle movie trivia!As always, Jason and Nate don’t entirely agree—was this a forest of movie greatness, or was it more like sitting on a lonely stump?

Welcome back, space cadets! On this episode of "Trees in Space," your hosts Jason and Nate dive headfirst—boobs first?—into the wonderfully weird 1996 cult "classic," Barb Wire. That’s right, it’s Pamela Anderson in full pleather regalia, mysterious contracts about who can show what on screen, and a plot that somehow fuses Casablanca with post-apocalyptic biker chic and a dollop of Nazi cosplay for good measure. This week, Jason confesses he didn’t even realize Barb Wire was a comic book movie, while Nate admits he was way ahead of the curve—having watched it originally, although not as a fan of Pamela. (Apparently, blue-eyed blondes just remind him too much of his sister. Ew?) The duo tackles everything from the movie’s deeply confusing timeline (why does the "future" look like 1986?) to its smoking hot, gravity-defying fashion choices, to that age-old cinematic question: why can Pamela show all the boobage but everyone else is stuck with pasties? Was Barb Wire secretly trying to channel the classic romance of Casablanca? Did the plot get lost somewhere between the strip club and the retina scanner? And what exactly is “plot armor”—or maybe just plot underwear? Our fearless hosts dig through the darkness (literal and metaphorical), debate the acting chops of the cast (Pam’s not the worst! Who knew?!), and argue whether this movie deserves a full tree or just a lonely stump on their patented rating scale. If you’re ready for a hilariously honest breakdown of a “campy, breasty” sci-fi romp packed with flying bullets and questionable dialogue, tune in! And remember: they watch the trash so you don’t have to—or so you know exactly when to jump in for the wardrobe malfunctions. Strap in.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast that reviews movies with all the seriousness of a lumberjack at a disco and the critical eye of a Russian mob enforcer with poor aim. This week, hosts Jason (not Statham, mind you) and a sniffly Nate tackle "A Working Man," the 2025 action flick that answers the age-old question: what happens if you want a Taken reboot but all you can get is Jason Statham, a white hard hat, and an indestructible motorcycle? In this episode, our hosts break down a movie so formulaic it might as well come with store-brand tomato sauce—plus a suspiciously high audience score and critics who are just as confused as our hosts about why 87% of people seem to love it. From mafia marksmanship that wouldn’t scare a stormtrooper, to plotlines abandoned so suddenly they need their own search party, nothing is safe from Jason and Nate’s gleeful chainsaw of a review. Was “A Working Man” an action masterpiece, or just another stump in the cinematic forest?

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast that reviews movies with the perfect blend of nostalgia, hot takes, and more than a few questionable jokes. In this episode, hosts Jason and Nate take a swing at the 1989 comedy classic "Major League"—but with a twist: one host has never actually seen the movie before, and the other was in high school when it came out (so cue the “back in my day” stories). Join the guys as they break down everything from Charlie Sheen’s wild haircut and Bob Uecker’s legendary one-liners, to why Cleveland stadiums proudly supported both baseball and football teams… and, of course, why Wesley Snipes was basically unrecognizable as a baby-faced no-name in this film. You’ll hear them debate whether Rachel Phelps, the villainous team owner, is really the bad guy or just a misunderstood business genius—and which of the many zany misfit players actually had the best redemption arc. They dive into fan reviews (both glowing and grumpy, and even one confused soul who thought The Rock starred in this), drop some behind-the-scenes trivia, and wrap it all up by rating the film with their unique "tree" system. If you've ever wondered how well Major League holds up or just want some baseball banter with your comedy, this episode’s got you covered.

This week, hosts Jason and Nate dive deep, or maybe just wade awkwardly, into the 1999 Rob Schneider “classic” (using that word as loosely as possible). They break down everything from $6,000 fish tank destruction, to naked aquarium cleaning, to wondering if you can actually use a fish tank cleaner as a stand-in plumber. As always, Jason and Nate dish on the best (and worst) jokes, question why Rob Schneider keeps getting leading roles (spoiler: nobody knows), and debate which scenes made them laugh versus which ones made them reconsider ever eating sushi—or touching food again. From side characters with narcolepsy and Bigfoot-sized feet to Norm Macdonald’s 30-second bartender cameo, they ask the hard questions: Is this movie more stump than grove? Ready for pies vs cakes and the Gobots version of Shallow Hal? Listen in for salty opinions, random cameos, and enough gigolos to make your high school guidance counselor blush—all on this episode of Trees in Space!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to another episode of Trees in Space—the only podcast that asks, “What if your mom filled her empty nest... with your shirtless ex-boyfriend?” This week, Jason and Nate dive deep into the 2023 indie drama “Suze,” where an overbearing mom unexpectedly becomes caretaker to her daughter's freshly dumped, perpetually underdressed ex. Is it a heartfelt indie hit, a cringe-worthy cuddle-fest, or something in between?Our hosts bravely navigate through awkward pool scenes, existential Canadian geography questions, and a surprisingly robust debate about the correct pronunciation of “Suze.” They’ll break down the movie’s emotional highs and lows, from unwanted kisses to menopausal tea, share hilarious “did they really just say that?” moments, and even let ChatGPT review the film—because when there are no one-star reviews, you gotta get creative.So, grab your art house snacks and prepare for opinions as hot as a menopausal Canadian summer.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where movies are reviewed not just with stars, but with a whole system of forests, groves, and stumps! In this episode, Jason and Nate throw on their cowboy hats and jump behind the wheel for a wild ride through the 1977 classic Smokey and the Bandit. What happens when a runaway bride, a charismatic trucker, an army of beer-thirsty millionaires, and a hilariously relentless sheriff all meet on the open road? Apparently, a film that’s part cinematic masterpiece, part “did anyone even look at the script’s timeline?”Buckle up as the hosts geek out over everything from the legendary soundtrack that introduced the world to “Eastbound and Down,” to Burt Reynolds’ scene-stealing wardrobe choices (and his, um, “grain silo”). Along the way, they dissect mind-blowing continuity errors (cop car damage, now you see it, now you don’t!), CB radio logic that would make real truckers sob, and the undeniable charm of Jackie Gleason sweating through his sheriff’s uniform like every lawman’s fever dream.From deep nostalgia and questionable love scenes for the ladies, to impassioned debates about how many Trans Ams died for Hollywood’s sins, Jason and Nate leave no rubber unburned. Is this movie still a five-tree classic, or does it deserve to be left as a lonely stump? Join in for laughs, fun facts, and more chaos than a high-speed chase through Georgia.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where nostalgia and hot takes collide at lightspeed! This week, your galactic guides Nate and Jason become the first podcasters in the universe (probably) to review the brand new 2025 comedy sequel, Happy Gilmore 2.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where hosts Jason and Nate boldly swim through the treacherous waters of movie genres, armed only with hot takes, nostalgia goggles, and questionable opinions. This week, they're taking on the granddaddy of all shark movies—Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic, Jaws. And trust us, they're not afraid to wade into controversial territory: is it a thriller, a horror, or just responsible for traumatizing an entire generation of beachgoers? In this episode, Jason and Nate debate ratings (is it PG-13, R, or “Parent Please Don’t Let Your Seven-Year-Old Watch This”?), drop fun facts about shooting locations (spoiler: Martha’s Vineyard, but someone definitely missed the lighthouse), and question the feasibility of building a steel shark cage with nothing but a nervous marine biologist and a Phillips head screwdriver. They bond over the exceptional audio engineering (because you know those seagulls were NOT in the budget), nitpick 1970s parenting, continuity errors with buoys, and marvel at one legendary drunken monologue about the USS Indianapolis. Throw in some passionate reviews from both ends of the spectrum, classic one-liners, and a new appreciation for strong movie wives, and you’ve got an episode that’ll make you think twice before saying, “Let’s go for a swim.” So whether you’re here for the shark attacks, the hot takes, or just to find out why everyone on Amity Island looks 60, grab your lifejacket and tune in for this fin-tastic episode of Trees in Space!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to Trees in Space! In this hilarious episode, Jason and Nate dive headfirst into the 1996 comedy “Sgt. Bilko” (or as Jason struggles to remember, definitely not “Blinko”). Picture this: Tony Stark’s charm, Ferris Bueller-style shenanigans, a scheming master sergeant, and Steve Martin at the wheel—what could go wrong? Well, apparently not much, because both hosts loved it so much, they watched it twice.With a combo of insider Army experience and a deep appreciation for absurd one-liners, Jason and Nate break down all the military mayhem, from professional-grade uniform patches to questionable motorpool activities, and even the accurate aroma of a muddy obstacle course. They debate everything from the authenticity of the Army depicted (realistic… except, maybe, for the roulette tables in the barracks), to whether Steve Martin is comedy royalty or a “disgrace” depending on which internet reviewer you ask.Along the way, you'll get quick-fire rundown of glowing and groaning audience reviews, thoughts on why critics got it totally wrong, and plenty of speculation about the original TV show. Jason dishes out a rare four-tree rating, while Nate can’t bring himself to go higher than three trees and a stump—seriously, get your forestry scoring chart ready.Bottom line: If you love witty banter, movie nostalgia, and military mischief—all filtered through the lens of two guys who’ve actually lived the Army life—this is the episode for you.

Welcome back to another jam-packed edition of your favorite movie newsletter—where we climb up the cinematic redwood, hack at some plot branches, and occasionally fall off the stump of disbelief. This week, your hosts Jason and Nate have endured serious bodily harm (vicariously) all for… Novocaine (2025). Yeah, that’s right: action, comedy, and more anatomical confusion than your last trip to WebMD.Quick Recap: What Even Is Novocaine? If you thought the only people who couldn’t feel pain were Marvel villains or your ex during your breakup speech, think again! Novocaine introduces us to Jack Quaid’s character, an assistant bank teller with a rare condition—and by “rare,” we mean, apparently, he skips chewing solid foods and is maybe, possibly, sexually confused (not his fault; blame the writers). His dream girl, played by the formidably forward Amber Midthunder, gets kidnapped, and our hero must use his “superpower” (read: dangerous medical liability) to rescue her.Plot Points That Make Us Say “Wait, What?”Jack Quaid’s character can’t feel pain, but can he feel… pleasure? Pressure? The burning sadness of eating hot sauce shots and not knowing if you should be aroused or afraid? The debate raged on.The “romance” escalates fast. Our hosts wonder: why WOULDN’T you say yes to a date with Amber Midthunder? (Sidebar: Note to audience—never go to the bathroom during a date. It’s the fastest way to lose your shot, hot sauce or not.)The bad guys are so bad at shooting in the first act, we think they trained under Stormtrooper correspondence courses. By the finale, though, they’re nailing headshots like Olympic marksmen. Pick a lane, fellas.Apparently, getting arrows through thighs, compound fractures, and tattooing addresses into your palm is survivable. But chew carefully—an errant carrot, and you’re done forBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

This week, we donned our green tights (it’s a podcast, you can’t prove we didn’t), cranked up the Mel Brooks, and laughed our way through the 1993 cult classic Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Yes, THE movie that taught us all the real look of a chastity belt (which may or may not require a locksmith and a tetanus shot). 🎙️On This Episode: We plot our course through the forest of slapstick jokes and musical numbers, wrestling with everything from medieval metal underwear to whether Patrick Stewart, as King Richard, has the power to knight another knight—or just act very, very British. 🌳5 Keys You’ll Learn This Week:Mel Brooks Movie Math: Why Jason prefers his Mel Brooks’ movies with fewer spoofs and more cowboys… and why Men in Tights sparks family feuds over which Brooks film reigns supreme. Dave Chappelle’s Big Screen Launch: Discover why we can’t believe the original movie synopsis left out Chappelle (Achoo…Bless you!), and how he stole the show with both sneezes and style.The Absurd Science of Chastity Belts: Ever wondered how a 17th-century chastity belt worked, or how to pee in one? So did we. And we had way too much fun not figuring it out. Patrick Stewart’s Knightmare: Can a knight knight another knight? We put on our tinfoil armor and try to break the code—Nate’s “ipso facto” theory included.Spoof Logic Explained (Kinda): Why the Sheriff of Rottingham’s backwards wordplay is the linguistic gymnastic event you never knew you needed, and why sometimes, you shouldn’t get your movie history from Jason. 🌟Fun Fact from the Episode: One listener reminisced about seeing this movie in the cinema with their family… right as the WHOLE ROW of seats collapsed backwards! Physical comedy wasn’t just on the screen—we hope they got a refund and some free popcorn. 🎬 Outtro: This episode, we weighed the critics (42%... ouch!) against the fans (81%—vindication!), and threw in a discussion on the laws of Robin Hood archery contests just for good measure. Does Men in Tights still make you giggle, groan, or snore? Jason nearly set a world record for “most stumps given,” while Nate remains forever haunted by visions of Princess Bride déjà vu. 👇 Call to Action!

Welcome back to another episode of Trees in Space! This week, your intrepid hosts Nate Hankson and Jason Smith take a deep (and hilarious) dive into the 2025 unrated horror thriller, Popeye the Sail Man—yes, you heard that right. Our hosts bravely subject themselves to an indie film where the world’s most famous spinach-chomping sailor gets a terrifying (and somewhat grotesque) horror makeover.Join Nate and Jason as they ponder important questions, like: Why is an abandoned spinach canning factory only shut down 20 years ago? Is eating canned spinach a legitimate superpower, or just a risky dietary choice? Why do so many random plot elements—including a busty realtor and a questionable abusive boyfriend—feel like they wandered into the wrong movie? And most importantly, can you really rip someone’s head off by their hair (spoiler: you can’t)?With plenty of laughs, genuine confusion, and a handful of surprisingly thoughtful critiques about lighting, acting, and practical effects, Nate and Jason guide you through all nine (or is it ten?) bodies in this bloody spinach-fest. Stick around for their favorite five-star and one-star audience reviews, some wild crossover movie ideas (Popeye vs. Pooh, anyone?), and their final verdicts—will this flick be the tree, the stump, or just trip over its own roots?If you’re ready for more tangents, brutal honesty, and a few gags about sausagey special effects, hit play on this week’s episode of Trees in Space!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/trees-in-space-show--5955596/support.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where we boldly go where no reviewer has gone before—through every movie genre, fueled by fan opinions, questionable nostalgia, and our own hot takes. This week, hosts Jason and Nate plunge headfirst into the chaotic world of slapstick summer camps with the 1987 comedy classic "Ernest Goes to Camp," starring the one and only Jim Varney. Ever wondered what would happen if the Three Stooges all shared one body and became a well-meaning but utterly incompetent camp counselor? Spoiler alert: chaos, property damage, and questionable adult supervision abound. Join us as Jason and Nate dissect this “disasterpiece” of misfit mayhem, discuss the many stereotypes that flew under the radar in the '80s, debate whether turtles falling from the sky is a bad omen or just Monday morning, and try to figure out if sharp objects plus slapstick ever equals good life advice. Is "Ernest Goes to Camp" worthy of a mighty forest of cinematic greatness, or does it deserve to be chopped down to a lonely stump? Does it entertain the adults, or is it strictly a “put this on for your five-year-old grandkid” situation? And what’s with those recurring gags about ladders, braces, and suspiciously well-dressed delinquents? Buckle up—there’s plenty of heart, a fair bit of heroics, and a whole lot of Jim Varney getting into trouble. Plus, fan reviews, one-star zingers, and enough tangents to fill a canoe.
