It is the most exciting time of years at the movies! We are breaking down all 10 movies nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. But. Ben and Tristan aren't doing it alone. We are joined by our first returning guest, Diego! So sit back as we travel to the 1800s, to Shakeseapre's England, and even to a Ping Pong tournament. We laughed, cried, cringed, and sat in confusion at these films, so join us, won't you?

We have circled around the sun once again, and that means Ben and Tristan are breaking down their respective top 10 movies of 2025. This is probably their most diverse lists yet, so join them as they laugh, cry, and find hope in world gone mad.

Ben and Tristan travel back in time to talk about Prey! This is their favorite of the Predator franchise and a movie that was on Tristan's top 10 from 2022. This time they give it the focus that it deserves. Join them as they hunt the hunter in Prey.

Join Ben and Tristan as they take a journey with the sophmore film of director Josh Ruben, Werewolves Within. You may know Josh from Dropout, he does a great seagull! *A note from Tristan: This was recorded in April. It took so long because I got a new job and moved to a different state. Sorry about the delay!

Ben and Tristan journey to the center of a small movie that they think flew a bit too under the radar. Join them as they discuss the 2017 horror action comedy Mayhem, starring two of their favorite stars working today.

It's that wonderful time of year again. With the Academy Awards fast approaching Ben and Tristan go through their thoughts on the 10 Best Picture nominees. With all of the controversy of these movies though, they needed backup. Please come along as they are joined by their friend Wes as the three discuss all 10 movies, and maybe what they wished would have made the list.

For the first time, Ben and Tristan host their own award show! Tis the season, after all. Sit back and enjoy the most drama free awards show possible, the Grouch Awards.

Tristan and Ben cover their top movies of 2024. And what a year for movies it was, from action to drama, from dystopian futures to near past, this year had movies that covered it all.

Surprise Christmas Pod! Ben wanted to talk about one of his favorite Christmas movies so join him and Tristan on a journey to the center of an offbeat horror comedy musical Christmas movie, Anna and the Apocalypse. Note: I bleep a spoiler for Sonice 3 in here but if you know, you know, ya know? Merry Christmas.

This time, Ben and Tristan are in Gotham to journey alongside the criminal underworld. They talk the Penguin, the newest entry in the Batman series. At the center of this one there may even be some Emmy worthy performances!

Take a journey with Ben and Tristan as they get stuck in another time loop. This time they are looking at Palm Springs, a 2020 comedy starring Andy Samburg and Cristin Millioti. There's a lot of laughs, and a lot of heart.

Join Ben and Tristan as the take a twisty trip down memory lane with the 2018 thriller Bad Times at the El Royale. There will be surprises, memories, and a mystery that we still don't have definitive answers to! Join us, on our journey to the center of Bad Times at the El Royale!

This time Ben and Tristan talk about a movie that went under the radar earlier this year. It's a slightly spooky kind of funny movie about a bunch of people stuck in a house with a little girl...who is a vampire! Join them as they get to the center of Radio Silence's newest movie Abigail.

Tristan and Ben both had this movie in their top 10 of last year, and want to apologize. This movie won an Acadamy Award for Visual Effects after all! But, since that isn't something that either of these hosts know about, they are joined by their friend Diego, who does work in special effects! Join these three as they talk about what is perhaps the best Godzilla movie, and for sure one of the best movies of last year.

It's that time of year again! From Barbieland to a French courtroom Ben and Tristan talk about the 10 Best Picture nominees. This year had two of the longest movies of the year and two blockbusters. We watched all of these so you can listen in before the big show. We also mourn how a few of our favorite movies didn't make the cut. Next time Godzilla Note: Tristan was still sick. I'm better now though!
