8. It's a Christmas Extravaganza!

2021/12/23

We're skipping our usual format to talk Christmas movies! Chris and Robyn drink wine as they reminisce about old favorites, new classics, and movies that aren't holiday-related but still give us that old jolly feeling. BONUS: no kazoo intro this time...it's a Christmas miracle!

7. With Friends Like These

2021/07/20

Chris and Robyn are back! This week we discuss the 1990 mobster classic "Goodfellas." Will we make you laugh? Will we f***in' amuse you? Well, we certainly hope so!

6. A Nation of Peeping Toms

2021/04/19

Beautiful Grace Kelly, stupid sexy Jimmy Stewart, and one sad Miss Lonelyhearts...yes, we're reviewing Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 thriller "Rear Window." Robyn gushes over the 1950s fashion and Chris basically rewrites the ending into what could actually be a much better movie? Stay for the end for our inspired fan cast picks and see what movie we will review next!

5. Hello, We're Bonnie and Clyde and We Rob Banks

2021/04/05

In this episode we discuss the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde." We talk about the New Hollywood era of film, breaking taboos (but not THOSE taboos), how to be a bad criminal, and fact vs. fiction. Also, Robyn attempts to play a banjo & fiddle song on kazoo and we are maybe a little intimidated by the results of our wheel spin.

4. America! Heck Yeah!

2021/03/22

In this episode, the 1939 movie "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" leads us to discuss American idealism, the many parallels between American politics then and now, the right way to pronounce the word "creek," and--wait, what's this? MORE PIGEONS??? Stick around until the end where we reveal our fan casts and spin the wheel to find out which film from the American Film Institute's Top 100 will be reviewed next. 4 down, 96 to go!

3. This Racism Is Killing Us Inside

2021/03/08

Chris and Robyn review the 1956 film "The Searchers" starring John Wayne. We discuss intentional racism, Hollywood racism with bonus anti-Semitism, and the beauty of Monument Valley. Also, Chris comes up with the best fan cast EVER.

2. Pigeons, Canaries, and Hawks, oh my!

2021/02/22

In this episode, we review the 1954 classic 'On the Waterfront'. Robyn gives a short history lesson on the House Un-American Activities Committee's involvement in Hollywood, Chris has many concerns about personal space, and both agree that movie kisses are awkward. Also: pigeon racing? Finally, we discuss our fan casting choices and spin the wheel to see which movie from the AFI Top 100 will be reviewed next.

1. Here's to Swimmin' With Bow-Legged Women

2021/02/04

Hey, it's our first episode! This week we take a deep dive (heh) into one of our favorites: Jaws. We discuss sketchy movie ratings, 70s parenting, horror movie tropes, and some of the best lines ever uttered on film. Be sure to stay until the end of this special, extra-long episode where we share our fan casts and "spin the wheel" to see which film from the AFI Top 100 will be reviewed next!
