Advertise on podcast: Flicking and Screaming

You won't catch us on stage at the Comedy Cellar anytime soon, but we'll certainly give our takes on Bradley "Balls" Cooper's newest stand-up flick!

To celebrate spring weather and a back-to-back Masters for Rory McIlory, we're spending time with America's favorite dad. How good is Kevin Costner's golf swing? What exactly is Rene Russo's deal in this movie? Could Jed make the U.S. Open with just a shovel and rake??

We're celebrating the return of the great game by covering Carson Lund's EEPHUS. Plus: everyone's favorite segment, the boys make MLB predictions no one cares about except us!

The 98th Academy Awards have come and gone. Did Conan and the ceremony live up to expectations? What moments made us tear up, or made our eyebrows raise in surprise? Plus: running through a list of what movies we might see at next year's show!

Every year, once a year, we get to decide who gets the trophies and hardware. But do we think The Academy is about to get this right? Either way, we're beating them to the punch.

The latest, hottest, Miami-by-way-of-Cleveland-est Netflix original is here. Why are Ben and Matt turning their attention to these kinds of movies together? What should the billboards for this movie have said?

Evan and Chip go girbossing their way around the island of gore, boar, and shore.

We've reached the conclusion of our year-long project with the kid from Texas. But first, a little look back at ASTEROID CITY before a collective filmography ranking.

One of our favorite episodes of the year, it's time for us to pull back the curtain on our individual tastes and reveal our favorite movies of 2025. Will we have a unanimous #1? What surprises do the boys have in store for each other?

We love spending time with our good friend Martin Mauser from the Lower East Side, don't we folks? What do we make of Chalamet's filmography from the time he signed on to this film in 2018 to now? Plus: is there enough table tennis in the movie?

The boys take a look at the top earners at the box office in 2025. What went right, and what took a surprising left turn? What genres still matter at the box office? Have sports movies and superhero movies been left behind? Plus, Jed gives his thoughts on how the younger generations experience the magic of the movie theater.

Happy New Year, friends, family, magazine writers, painters, criminals, muses, cops, and chefs! We are approaching the end of our Wes Anderson retrospective, but did the release date of THE FRENCH DISPATCH impact its legacy? What would we call *our* favorite Wes Anderson tricks and features? Plus: because we can't help ourselves, another extended James Bond tangent.

We're breaking down the Lazarus door to investigate Benoit Blanc's third mystery. But is it even Blanc's movie? Do these films require an autumnal setting to succeed? Plus: we love and miss Rob Reiner, and a tangent on the best looking Netflix originals.

Wes Anderson's return to stop motion gives us pawse. Is this film all bark and no bite? Are the movie's politics deep enough for us to sink our teeth into? Plus: someone put a leash on Chip's Liev Schreiber take!

We thought about cutting the end of the episode and replaying the same 45 minutes twice, but couldn't bring ourselves to commit so deeply to the bit. Let's get nihilistic!
