Mallrats (1995)
2026/07/13
The Third Part in our Troubling Third Spaces Trilogy Finally. We see ourselves in a character onscreen and shockingly it's not the Ben Affleck character in MALLRATS (for obvious legal, ethical and terrible music taste reason in this film.) Jason Lee leads Kevin Smith's initially much maligned and later celebrated sophomore (and delightfully sophomoric) flick as we close out our trilogy on the trouble with third spaces in this case with a man who is obsessed with superhero sex organs. As we said at the top, it's nice to see ourselves on screen for once. Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The Cell (2000)
2026/07/07
The Second Part in our Troubling Third Spaces Trilogy This episode is gross and it's not just us (blame Vincent D'Onofrio) as we talk Tarsem Singh's THE CELL where Jennifer Lopez attempts to help troubled youth (strike one) and Vince Vaughn gets serious (strike two) and did we mention Mr. D'Onofrio's piercings in this flick?? But it looks cool. The movie. Not the piercings. Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

Backrooms (2026)
2026/07/01
The First Part in our Troubling Third Spaces Trilogy Your old movie podcast hosts (and hosting an AUDIO ONLY podcast at that!) put on their readers to try and make sense of the recent Youtube to horror directing trend as they give you a timely episode on BACKROOMS... just as it is being re-released with another Youtube short added onto it for an extra run at theatrical dollars! Old-fashioned hucksterism at the movies that we love and hope you do too. Enjoy! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

Patreon Preview of Disclosure Day (2026)
2026/06/29
For our patrons... this is no Catch Me If You Can. Your hosts for this movie podcast that you have somehow discovered without the help of Emily Blunt as a Kansas City weather lady gives some polite advice to Mr. Spielberg on how to spend your DISCLOSURE DAY. One way is to leave the theater and watch the World Cup in the lobby and the other is to stew and try remember all the good times we had with Tom Hanks pursuing Leo DiCaprio as the screen's best Barry Allen. Or you could listen to this podcast and we appreciate you! Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

The Hunger (1983)
2026/06/26
The Third Part in our Time for Obsession Trilogy In which our returning guest Maddie of the show Old Reader New Reader on Near Mint Condition thanks TRILOGY IN THEORY for introducing her to lesbian vampires as played by Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve in Tony Scott's THE HUNGER. And to you listeners... you're welcome. Patreon supporters get access to monthly bonus episodes including previous years of Movie Book Club!

(500) Days of Summer (2009)
2026/06/24
The Second Part in our Time for Obsession Trilogy Maddie of the show Old Reader New Reader on Near Mint Condition once again joins us and talks a little bit about aging along with Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in (500) DAYS OF SUMMER while one of your regular hosts announces (to no one's surprise) that he's been an old grouch since even the theatrical release of this delightful and embarrassing romcom.

Obsession (2026)
2026/06/08
The First Part in our Time For Obsession Trilogy For the first time we make time for a guest on the podcast with our upcoming trilogy inspired by the new release OBSESSION. Maddie of the show Old Reader New Reader on Near Mint Condition joins us for the next three episodes... and presumably will decide that is more than enough so enjoy her voice in the future over on her great show focusing on graphic novels and funny books as discussed by someone new to the material and someone revisiting the chosen comics. But first we need some insight from someone who perhaps has had those suffering from obsession with them; a feeling that two lowly podcasters crave and thus are not the best judge of the downsides.

Patreon Preview of our Crossover Trilogy with Near Mint Condition
2026/06/07
After 250 episodes it was well past time for another voice in the room. For the first time we are having a guest on the podcast with our upcoming trilogy inspired by the new release OBSESSION. Maddie of the show Old Reader New Reader on Near Mint Condition will be joining us for the next three episodes... and presumably will decide that is more than enough so enjoy her voice in the future over on her great show focusing on graphic novels and funny books as discussed by someone new to the material and someone revisiting the chosen comics. For us this is the first long-form version of our post-show b******t, which isn't substantially different from our in-show b******t but we hope you like a true DVD extra Patreon bonus episode as you see ALL the thought that goes into forming our monthly trilogies.

My Old Ass (2024)
2026/06/02
The Third Part in our Dear, We Must Depart Trilogy If part two was primarily focused on Uma Thurman's feet (not by us!) then the grand finale that started with a Grace Kelly classic must of course finish with Aubrey Plaza's MY OLD ASS.

Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)
2026/05/27
The Second Part in our Dear, We Must Depart Trilogy We briefly discuss Quentin Tarantino's personal Death List Five which somehow includes Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard at the top and then move on to how we view The Whole Bloody Affair of KILL BILL. As one volume or two? And if two... which of the two? Spoiler alert: we chose our favorite for this very episode. Enjoy!

Dial M for Murder (1954)
2026/05/20
The First Part in our Dear, We Must Depart Trilogy For our big episode 250 we pick on Grace Kelly's dumb face... okay, that sounds mean but she is mostly confused through the proceeding of Alfred Hitchcock's DIAL M FOR MURDER while we remain riveted as the characters go over and over and OVER the perfect murder. That is if there can be such a thing as a perfect murder when Princess Grace is the intended victim. But that's why it's the movies and this is not CinemaSins, it's TiT!

Patreon Preview of Over Your Dead Body (2026)
2026/05/18
For our patrons... the film that took SXSW by storm and cancelled Meryl Streep on our podcast! Our fondness for FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL finds its limit with a new release so riveting that we had to put the discussion behind a paywall. Enjoy the trilogy of films that Jason Segal and Samara Weaving inspire after this episode but for now... OVER YOUR DEAD BODY.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
2026/05/17
The Third Part in our Buddies Stuck at Work Trilogy If this is the podcast where THE GODFATHER gets lumped in with SCREAM 7 for a thematic trilogy then we can assume that IMDb's greatest film of all time won't feel too bad about taking the place of MALLRATS as the followup to CLERKS in our absolutely correct trilogy in theory. Now how we feel about not getting to watch MALLRATS again, well... you'll just have to listen to the episode. Enjoy!

Clerks (1994)
2026/04/17
The Second Part in our Buddies Stuck at Work Trilogy We were well into our hearts of darkness research for APOCALYPSE NOW, which was to be the second part of this month's trilogy, when one host decided to subject his poor wife to the View Askewniverse with Kevin Smith's CLERKS and the other host had to be a third wheel. That's as close as we come to any uncomfortable sexual situation because like the film we are discussing... we are all talk. Enjoy!

Project Hail Mary (2026)
2026/04/15
The First Part in our Buddies Stuck at Work Trilogy Also for the first time... this podcast gets younger as the two sad, old men (the author of these show notes does not know whether to emphasize SAD or OLD here) are replaced by the voice of a new generation to do what most movie podcasts with any sense of decorum do: a summary of the actual plot of the film that has been chosen for discussion. But don't worry... we get back to our airing our own personal grievances about life (and sometimes the movies) after Ryan Gosling gets his brief moment in the sun. Enjoy!

Great concept for a movie podcast
I love how Michael takes a newer film and matches two older films with a similar theme. Witty and wise stuff here.
