Storage Room Movie Boom

All hail the Ice Queen herself, Miranda Priestly. Eden and Sam take a pleasant but surprisingly critical look at a beloved (but flawed) movie from 2006: 'The Devil Wears Prada.' It goes without saying that this picture is packed with talent: Emily Blunt as the charmingly snarky coworker, Stanley "The Tooch" Tucci as the welcome voice of reason, and of course the most impressive all the acting gods, Meryl Streep as the protagonist-turned-mentor. The sibs do take a hard stance on a couple of pervasive issues, but on the whole, it's a damn fun film. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam pitches three directly-linked movies for episode 46.

I AM THE LAW! And frankly, this movie should be illegal. The sibs are back this week with a look at another odd comic book adaptation: 1995's 'Judge Dredd.' Schlock and spandex and not-so-sly Sly one-liners make this an unfortunate flop. But the sibs have found a few glimpses of a silver lining: Eden loves the costuming, and Sam loves Diane Lane. Check in for some truly hilariously bad Sly impressions, people. In the second and final segment of the show, Eden pitches three fashionable follies for episode 45.

Holy Dennis Hopper, people! The sibs are back on track this week with this truly deplorable turd monster: 1993's 'Super Mario Bros.' Eden and Sam do not recommend watching this; save some time and tune in here for some happy trash talk! Despite having a killer cast, the shoddy directing and bananas writing destroy what could have been a cute kids movie. Big shouts to our faves: John Leguizamo, Fiona Shaw (Aunt Petunia from 'Harry Potter' series), and Bob Fucking Hoskins (a.k.a. Eden's boyfriend). Honorable mention goes to the Yoshi and Goomba animatronic puppets. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam pitches three '90s dystopian future flicks for episode 44. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

It's a first for SRMB! The sibs couldn't get their sh*t together to watch the intended movie for this week ('Super Mario Bros.'), so in a rare one-off -- a curveball -- please enjoy a Mario-adjacent movie: 1989's 'The Wizard.' Mountains of nostalgia prevent any sort of objective review, but revisiting the premiere of Super Mario Bros. 3 proved to be exhilarating. And while Baby Fred Savage and Baby Jenny Lewis bring their classic charm, Eden and Sam can't help but wonder what this movie would look like in the hands of a David Lynch or a Gus Van Sant (hint: the darkest shit you can think of). There is no second and final segment of the show! But get ready for next week when the sibs finally tackle 1993's 'Super Mario Bros.' Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Woof, get ready for a real doozy. This week, the sibs tackle a film from Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son!): 2016’s 'Warcraft.' Sure, it aesthetically looks like the video game. Sure, the human characters aren't remotely as interesting as the CG Orcs. And sure, the editing causes whiplash. All those reasons (and many more unlisted) make this a perfect entry into the fated film category of Video Game Adaptations. Aside from an uncredited cameo by one stellar actor, it's worth skipping. Instead, listen to the Robards chat about it! In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three video game adaptation movies for episode 42. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Wrap yourself in a blanket and grab an arsenal of tissue paper; this week the siblings have a heartfelt chat about Eden's favorite movie: 2002’s 'Whale Rider.' Niki Caro directs this beautiful New Zealand-based heart wrencher, and both Eden and Sam bawled their damn eyes out. Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for her stunning performance as Paikea, but was robbed by the Monster-ous Charlize Theron. A truly amazing film, and the sibs give it the highest of recommendations. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam blind pitches three movies with people riding unusual things for episode 41. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Hold onto your valium, and avoid falling caskets, people. This week, the sibs cover a delightful little romp, Frank Oz's 2007's 'Death at a Funeral.' Hosting an ensemble cast of the highest caliber, this movie spurred a handful of remakes -- one of which includes (Eden's boyfriend) Peter Dinklage as the same role that he plays in this film. Honorable mentions go to the amazingly physical Alan Tudyk and a crotchety Maester Aemon. In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three movies with Game of Thrones actors for episode 40. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Get ready for a healthy dose of eleven herbs and spices, because this week the sibs (and a near silent studio guest) chat about Daniel Craig's bonkers southern drawl in 2019's 'Knives Out.' One thing is clear: the sibs love Rian Johnson, and this picture is just as worthy, interesting, funny, charming, eclectic, and clever as his other films. While it's truly tough to pick a favorite from this outstanding ensemble cast, Eden of course picks Captain America, while Sam is absolutely joyful about the appearance of Frank Oz. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam blind pitches three movies directed by Frank Oz for episode 39. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Boy oh boy, have we got ourselves a real funky treat this week. Eden and Sam tackle the second film of the so-called SSMU (no one calls it that), 2021's 'Venom: Let There be Carnage.' This is the most recent movie that they've reviewed -- and there is a lot of talk on other recent movies -- so please welcome this very emphatic SPOILER ALERT. Andy Serkis provides a pleasantly short but conceptually bananas romp, which leads Sam to school Eden on Spider-Man source material. In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three movies with British actors using American accents for episode 38. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Well, we really did it this time, nerds! This week, Eden, Sam and friend of the fam/friend of the pod Kwame wrap up the Spin-off Series with the final film of the LOTR series: 2003's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.' Join in on the ultimate round of their favorite game, Where's Frodo? -- and play along with a new game, How Many Times Will Sam and Kwame Quote This Movie? Lastly, the sibs (all three) rank the movies in the trilogy, and list some of the coolest artifacts of Middle Earth. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam throws a real curve ball and blind pitches one movie for episode 37. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Guest: Kwame Grimes Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Gladryl? Gland drill? Galandrielle? Listen up, nerds! This week, Eden, Sam and friend of the fam/friend of the pod Kwame continue the Spin-off Series with the second film in the franchise: 2002's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.' Kwame defends his favorite film of the trilogy; Sam bellows a funeral dirge; Eden disrespects Middle Earth more and more with each mispronunciation. In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three 'to be continued...' episodes of TV for episode 36. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Guest: Kwame Grimes Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

One doesn't simply walk into a Spin-off Series. The most frequently pitched SRMB movie has finally made its way into the rotation, and you know what that means... LOTR, nerds! This week, Eden, Sam and friend of the fam/friend of the pod Kwame review the epic to end all epics: 2001's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.' Sam provides endless quotes and impressions; Kwame speaks Elvish; Eden cries a lot. It's an epic pod to match an equally epic movie. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam blind pitches three medieval episodes of TV for episode 35. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Guest: Kwame Grimes Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Punch it, Alan Tudyk! This week, Eden and Sam cover a great one -- the first of the Star Wars inbetweeners -- 2016's 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.' Sure, maybe we didn't need to know how or why the Death Star has an oopsy explosion button, but it was a gorgeous and touching tale nonetheless. Does emailing an attachment play a significant role in this movie? Yes. Is CG-zombification utterly insulting? Sure. But did Eden cry? ABSOLUTELY. In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three teamwork movies for episode 34. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

It hasn't happened since way back in episode five with 'Sucker Punch,' but this week the sibs take opposite sides while reviewing one of Eden's favorite movies (hot take reserved): 2010's 'Get Him to the Greek.' Is it true that in 2010 the market was oversaturated with Russell Brand? Yes. Is it true that this movie has an expected Stoller/Segel/Apatow vibe? Yes. Does Eden still love it? Yes. Tune in for a worthy conversation about the psyche of a broken man and the adorable sidekick that guides him to self-realization. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam blind pitches three spin-off movies for episode 33. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Grab your leg warmers and hairspray, and get ready for some ass-grabbin'. This week, the sibs review a 90's movie masquerading as an 80's movie: 'The Wedding Singer.' A regular watch for Sam, and a happy revisit for Eden, this movie's charm lies in the chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. Honorable mentions go to Ellen Albertini Dow, Steve F*cking Buscemi, Christine Taylor, and the much loved Alexis Arquette. In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three movies with killer soundtracks for episode 32. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

It's another certified Robards Classic! This week, the sibs gleefully cover what is now a '90s cult phenom: 1993's 'So I Married an Axe Murderer.' For those sweet babes not around in the '90s, this was Mike Myers before Austin Powers, in a regular guy romantic comedy role. Quotability is at an all time high. And besides a very charming performance by Nancy Travis, there is a murderer's row of amazing cameos: Phil Hartman, Charles Grodin, Steven Wright, Debi Mazar and Alan Arkin, to name a few. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam blind pitches three non-SNL character movies for episode 31. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

IT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED. The sibs have threatened to review this movie for the past 28 episodes, and here it is... a certified Robards Classic, 1995's 'Congo.' The gleam from this diamond is truly blinding. The accent game is fierce in this schlocky gorilla fever dream: Ernie Hudson's magnificent accent, Tim Curry's ridiculous accent, Laura Linney's faux-Katharine-Hepburn accent. Cheers and honorable mention go to our favorite special effects experts at the Stan Winston Studio (although you can't beat 40 foot dinosaurs). Jeers and dishonorable mention go to the rampant sexual abuse inflicted upon the gorilla Amy, good good Amy. In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three highly quotable, accent-laden movies for episode 30. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

The return of Dr. Alan Grant has the sibs absolutely delighted. This week, Sam and Eden wrap up their latest Spin-off Series with 2001's 'Jurassic Park 3.' While not perfect, director Joe Johnston really steps up to show Steven Spielberg how to make a Steven Spielberg movie. Honorable mentions go to: the new bad guy in town Spinosaurus, Stan Winston Studio (of course), and William H. Macy's mustache. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam blind pitches three self-aware movies for episode 29. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Well, that was unfortunate. This week, Sam and Eden begrudgingly review the embarrassing sequel to 'Jurassic Park': 1997's 'The Lost World.' If you haven't seen this movie, thank your lucky stars, because -- oof -- it's a real pile of triceratops droppings. All the ridiculous nonsense aside, it's a super fun episode, and the sibs gleefully hate-watch Jeff Goldblum really Goldblum it up (in the best way). In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three Claymation TV episodes for episode 28. Hosts: Eden Robards, Sam Robards Instagram: storageroommovieboom Twitter: storageroompod Email: storageroompod@gmail.com

Hold on to your butts, because the sibs are throwing it back to a certified Robards Classic this week with their excitable review of 1993's classic, 'Jurassic Park.' Spoiler: if you haven't seen this movie, or don't like this movie, we can't be friends anymore....them's the rules. Tune in for bad readings of all your favorite lines, an exploration into Alan and Ellie's relationship, and determination of why the terribly '90s term 'hacker' has never been so cute. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam blind pitches three dinosaur TV episodes for episode 27.
