The Idea of You - Anne Hathaway

This week the boys are back to discuss Anne Hathaway's new RomCom The Idea of You, streaming on Amazon Prime. They discuss who the target audience for the film is, how horny it is, and Jamie's weird connection to the film.  

Polar Express (Director’s Commentary) - Christmas Special

In an episode recorded live in person at 10.50pm in Toronto on October 28th, we perhaps make our worst episode yet. Listen at your own discretion. While continuing their Sisyphean task of watching the Polar Express once again, the boys discuss what bad decisions they made to reach this moment, whether Jamie should be a godfather and whether the simple idea being funny enough to outweigh the absolute hatred we feel four ourselves inside 

Eileen - Anne Hathaway

Come on Eileen! Anne Hathaway is in another film from the indie film circuit that got a limited cinematic release so you've probably not seen it. But fear not, we are hear to tell you all about it. Also, bits are back baby! We've got songs, we've got improv, we've got everything you've ever wanted! 

She Came To Me - Anne Hathaway

The boys have a severe disagreement over the latest instalment of weird films Anne Hathaway is in that do the film festival circuit and then get limited theatrical releases. This time she stars alongside Peter Dinklage as a neurotic wife to tortured artist Dinklage who ends up breaking his writer's block by shagging a tug boat captain, Marisa Tomei. No I didn't make any of that up. 

Barbenheimer - Bonus Episode

Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway don't have any films coming out for a while and it's the cinematic event of the year, so we had to do a special bonus ep to talk about Barbenheimer. 

The boys dress up for the occasion, maybe talk a little bit too much about Ken, and Jamie continues on his Wes Anderson hater brigade.

Asteroid City - Tom Hanks

This week we talk about Asteroid City, the new Wes Anderson film with so many people in it you might not even have realised that it starts Tom Hanks. 

We dive deep on the meanings and themes of the film, while also discussing Wes Anderson's signature style and whether it would be better if he was just a photographer. 

Stay tuned until the end for a Special AnnouncementTM 

A Man Called Otto - Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks is the Grumpiest Man In America (who was previously the grumpiest man in Sweden.) This week we are reviewing the most sappy, saccharin movie about suicide you have ever seen. Jamie's parents loved it, Al was surrounded by octogenarians in the cinema who loved it, but what did these two young, strong willed men think of its sentimental, young-people-hating ways? 

 

Content Warning: Mentions of suicide and suicide attempts that happen within the movie. 

Polar Express - The Video Game (Christmas Special)

Look, we got absolutely sick of reviewing the polar express movie. So we decided to review the movie-tie-in video game, something that is definitely famously not worse and not longer. 

 

We also do a Tom Hanks draft and look ahead to make some predictions about the year to come 

Armageddon Time - Anne Hathaway

It's the 80s, Ronald Reagan is about to be president and everything is absolutely fine. The boys dive deep on a film they have no right to be talking about buy gosh darnit they're gonna do it anyway. We also discuss if Anne Hathaway is allowed to be hot anymore and whether we might be back in Oscar-Town for big Annie. 

Pinocchio - Tom Hanks

Did you know Tom Hanks was Gepetto in the live action remake of Pinocchio? You'd be forgiven for having missed it, considering the studio was about as embarrassed about it as we are to talk about it. We discuss just why Disney keep making these and what we can do to stop them and also whether Tom Hanks can ever come back from this.
