Send us a text It’s that magical time of year again — awards season! In this episode of We Interrupt This Movie, we dive headfirst into the 2026 race, breaking down the Golden Globe winners, reacting to the Oscar nominations, and debating which films deserve the big prizes versus which ones we think will actually take them home. Along the way we share our personal favorites, a few surprise snubs, and the performances and movies we can’t stop thinking about — plus the usual passionate disagreements and wildly confident predictions that will absolutely age poorly.

Send us a text The lads return after a holiday break for a deep dive into Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s wildly confusing yet undeniably thrilling time-bending spy epic, packed with inverted bullets, temporal pincer movements, jaw-dropping set pieces, and a propulsive Ludwig Göransson score that never lets up; we try to untangle what it all means while also admitting that even when Tenet makes us feel both smarter and dumber at the same time, it’s still one of the most exhilarating blockbuster puzzles ever put on screen. Don’t try to understand it… feel it. Hosted by Tage Sickler and Steve Teasdale Theme Song and Incidental Music Composed and Performed by S.T. Please rate and review our show wherever you listen.

Send us a text Strap in, Christmas clowns — the lads are lighting up the neighborhood and diving into National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the holiday classic that proves no one commits harder to Christmas than Clark Griswold. Chevy Chase is in peak form as America’s most determined dad, Randy Quaid’s Cousin Eddie shows up exactly when you don’t want him to, and we break down why this movie remains an annual tradition despite (or because of) its total chaos. Derek’s got the day off, but past guest Ian joins us to help survive the season, talk holiday expectations, exploding turkeys, and the true meaning of family — just remember, if things start going wrong, it’s all part of the Griswold experience.

Send us a text Strap in, space cowboys. The lads are blasting off this week with Christopher Nolan’s epic sci-fi emotional detonator Interstellar. It’s a film where time bends, love transcends dimensions, and Matthew McConaughey gives one of the best performances of his career — equal parts astronaut, dad, philosopher, and #1 single-tear reactor. From that iconic bookshelf reveal to Hans Zimmer’s cathedral-organ score rattling every molecule of your being, we’re exploring why this film hits the head and the heart with gravity-well force. There’s so much to love about this movie. Buckle up — we’re going fifth-dimensional. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman, and Steve Teasdale.

Send us a text This week, the lads take to the skies with Martin Scorsese’s glossy, obsessive, beautifully unhinged epic The Aviator. We dive into Leonardo DiCaprio’s electric turn as Howard Hughes — aviation pioneer, Hollywood mogul, germaphobe extraordinaire — and explore everything from the Spruce Goose to milk bottles without losing cabin pressure. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s a little OCD-coded, and it might cause you to shout “Show me all the blueprints!” at wildly inappropriate times. Buckle up — we’re going flying. The way of the future, the way of the future, the way of… you get it. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman, and Steve Teasdale.

Send us a text This week, the lads check in to the Overlook Hotel for a long-overdue stay with The Shining — Stanley Kubrick’s chilling masterpiece of isolation, madness, and malfunctioning typewriters. It may be a little late for Halloween, but there’s never a bad time to talk about axe-wielding writers, eerie twins, and the unmistakable dread that only Kubrick can conjure. From the meticulous set design to Jack Nicholson’s legendary descent into insanity, we dive deep into what makes The Shining one of the most haunting films ever made. So grab your tricycle, avoid Room 237, and join us as we try not to lose our minds — all work and no play makes the lads something something. . .

Send us a text This week, the lads wade into One Battle After Another, a film so loaded with powerhouse performances it might as well be an acting masterclass. Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro each bring enough intensity to power a small city — and under Paul Thomas Anderson’s direction, that energy somehow becomes poetry. We unpack the craft, the chaos, and the quiet genius of a filmmaker who never wastes a frame. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman, and Steve Teasdale.

Send us a text This week, the lads take aim at Weapons, the dark and unsettling new film from Zach Cregger, the guy from The Whitest Kids U’ Know who turned out to be a seriously talented horror director. We didn’t quite know what to expect going in, but, you know what — we really enjoyed this one. Smart, unnerving, and surprisingly layered, Weapons keeps you guessing right up to the end.  Don’t worry — no weapons were used in the making of this podcast. Just a few strong opinions.

Send us a text This week, the lads dive into Charlie McDowell’s ambitious sci-fi drama The Discovery, where the afterlife isn’t a mystery — it’s been proven. We unpack its big ideas, haunting tone, and the quiet presence of Robert Redford, whose legacy looms large.  It’s a conversation about life, love, and what happens when a great concept doesn’t quite find its footing — with the usual mix of humor, wonder, and a touch of existential dread.   Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Werhman and Steve Teasdale Theme song composed and performed by Steve Teasdale Please email us at [email protected] with any questions, comments or movie suggestions 

Send us a text The lads take flight with Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s single-take fever dream about ego, art, and actors in their underwear on Broadway. We dig into Michael Keaton’s meta-performance, the film’s dizzying camerawork, and that relentless jazz drum soundtrack that feels like it’s chasing us down a New York alley. Expect sharp takes, a little self-deprecation, and maybe a rimshot or two.

Send us a text The lads boldly go… nowhere near the speed of light, but straight into the galaxy of Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. From ludicrous speed to jammed radars, they’ll comb the desert (literally) for laughs, quote the movie way too many times and debate whether or not this flick holds up after nearly 40 years since it’s release. May the Schwartz be with you!

Send us a text This week, the lads take aim at Lethal Weapon, the buddy cop classic that made Christmas dangerous and saxophones emotionally manipulative. We break down Mel Gibson and Danny Glover’s iconic dynamic, rooftop negotiations, and just how many explosions it takes to build a friendship.  Sorry bad guys, nobody here but us podcasters and we’re too old for this episode!

Send us a text “I’m an oil man, you see…” And we’re podcast men, you see. So naturally, this week the lads strike it rich with Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic tale of ambition, greed, and milkshake-drinking misanthropy. We dive deep into the psychological oil well that is Daniel Day-Lewis’s powerhouse performance, and discuss everything from PTA’s bold direction to Jonny Greenwood’s haunting score.  Daniel Plainview drinks your milkshake. We drink… lukewarm coffee and talk too much.

Send us a text The Lads return to Tarantino-land for our second QT film on We Interrupt This Movie — this time diving into Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a dreamy love letter to a bygone era of Tinseltown.  We talk DiCaprio’s breakdowns, Brad Pitt’s breezy charm, and why flamethrowers should really come standard in every garage.  Anybody order fried sauerkraut?

Send us a text This week, the lads take a giant leap into Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey—a film that redefined cinema, confounded audiences, and made classical music terrifying. Tage , Steve and  Derek explore apes, space stations, and one very passive-aggressive computer. Strap in—things are about to get monolithic.
