1984 - The 1984 Mixtape

5/9/2024
Movie of the Year: 1984 Mixtape Part One We are making a mixtape of all the best 1984 jams in our 1984 Mixtape Part One! Mixtapes are so important. But it could be argued that they were even more important in 1984. This was the time of the tape, baby. Cassets as far as the eye could see. To celebrate how important mixtapes were in 1984, we are doing something we almost never do except for every season: we are making a mixtape to celebrate a great year in music. We only think about movies here on Movie of the Year (well, and sometimes years), and so we've been on top of highlighting all the great movies of 1984, but we would be remiss (a fireable offense here) not to mention that this might also be one of the best years in music history...wait, Music of the Y—nah, that'd never work. However, a mixtape of the best 1984 tunes surely would, which is why we invited friends taylor and Nate to come get this done! Visit our websiteUse our Amazon page!Like us!Follow us!

1984 - Gremlins (with Nate Ragolia!)

5/2/2024
Movie of the Year: 1984 Gremlins (with Nate) Can Gremlins transform into our 1984 Movie of the Year? Picture a Gremlin. I'll wait. OK, so what you pictured was a Mogwai, which is why it's so important that we made this episode to help remind people of the particulars of Gremlins and the rules and such. In 1984, we learned that mankind—and to a lesser extent, womankind (thanks for the misogyny, 1984!)—was not ready for the Mogwai yet. I am assuming after forty years, we have done what it takes to be worthy of these little guys. No? We had to bring in friend of the show Nate to help us get to the heart of matters such as these. We also get into whether this movie might be better if one of the Gremlins was an elegant, sexual woman? Perhaps in a little Gremlin bikini? Let's run it up old the flagpole and see which Gremlins salute. Visit our websiteUse our Amazon page!Like us!Follow us!

1984 - Once Upon a Time in America (with Keith Phipps!)

4/25/2024
Movie of the Year: 1984 Once Upon a Time in America (with Keith Phipps) Can Once Upon in America take the title of our 1984 Movie of the Year? Once Upon a Time in America is a movie of epic scope even though it is the tale of small-time crooks trying to screw each other over to make it out of the gutter. (And one guy lives in Buffalo for like decades.) This contrast is just one of many artfully nestled into one of the harder watching experiences we've had on this show. And we've seen American Beauty. Multiple times. Ugh. Joining us will be very special guest Keith Phipps, an actual writer with actual opinions on movies, unlike normal panelists Greg and Mike, dullards of the highest order. Keith has contributed to Rolling Stone, Slate, The Daily Beast, GQ, and The Verge, which c'mon that's cool. He is here to help us get into how this movie fits into the canon of great gangster movies. We will also discuss the special relationship between Noodles and Maxie before covering the often-upsetting, and very confusing, portrayal of romance and sexuality in the movie. Be sure to check out Keith's upcoming book, The Age of Cage, a look at Hollywood through the singular cinematic experience that is Nicolas Cage. And check out Keith's podcast, The Next Picture Show!

1984 - This is Spinal Tap

4/18/2024
Movie of the Year: 1984 This Is Spinal Tap Can This Is Spinal Tap rock its way to the title of our 1984 Movie of the Year? This Is Spinal Tap put rock music on the map. Before this movie came out, no one was really sure what to make of this new music genre. Enter Spinal Tap. With hubris, unparalleled talent, and a penchant for dramatically losing drummers, Spinal Tap changed music, and the movie about them, This Is Spinal Tap, put the new band and their wholly original sound into the national conversation. This movie is considered a classic of both rock and comedy, but does it actually rock? Is it actually funny? We've been known to take down classics before, so this might be another time where we speak truth to power. Coming up this season we have some of the most fun movies we've covered and some of the most amazing guests we've ever hosted. Stay tuned, everyone, because things are just getting started.

1984 - Repo Man

4/11/2024
Movie of the Year: 1984 Repo Man Can Repo Man take the title of our 1984 Movie of the Year? In the early 80’s, UCLA film student Alex Cox wanted to move from student films to features. Remaking his student film by the same name, Repo Man would have a budget of 500 grand and be filled with punk rockers. Enter Michael Nesmith, everyone's least favorite Monkee. At the time, Nesmith’s pockets were flush with that sweet liquid paper money, so he, along with universal, decided to turn Repo Man into a real movie. Well…as real as it turned out to be. Repo Man tells the story of Otto, a young punk who has nothing going for him in post-apocalyptic Edge City. The apocalypse here, however, doesn’t come after a bomb has dropped, or zombies have attacked. This is after the apocalypse created by voting in conservatives (boo; furthermore, hiss). Otto takes a job as a repo man, and suddenly has a purpose, a mentor, and a girlfriend. Everything would probably end slightly less than fine if it wasn’t for a Chevy Malibu barreling towards our characters. Coming up this season we have some of the most fun movies we've covered and some of the most amazing guests we've ever hosted. Stay tuned, everyone, because things are just getting started.

Well, fear not because we are here to deliver to you the movies that will make up the season that will consume the next three months of our lives (and we assume yours; the podcast has been getting some impassioned emails lately). We love movies and we love years, so we came together to make this podcast celebrating both. 1984 may have been a big year for movies; however, we're betting it's going to be an even bigger year for our podcast.

1984 - The Season Begins

3/28/2024
Movie of the Year: 1984 A New Season Begins A new season begins, which movie of 1984 will be our Movie of the Year? 1984 is here, and folks, this might be the biggest year of blockbusters we've ever covered. None of us were really very aware in the actual year 1984—we are young, and fit—but the movies of this year would pepper our childhoods like salt, adding flavor and enjoyment to everything we consumed. But were these movies just fast food for the mind? No, along with the blockbusters of 1984 were smaller, more thoughtful films that perhaps could have been even better with a couple more 'splosions. Rock me, Amadeus, indeed. We love movies and we love years, so we came together to make this podcast celebrating both. 1984 may have been a big year for movies; however, we're betting it's going to be an even bigger year for our podcast.

2023 - Best of the Year: Movies

3/21/2024
Movie of the Year 2023 Movie of the Year Our 2023 Movie of the Year bracket is here to pick the most filmic moments of 2023! Movies are the books of watching things. A lot of people don't want to watch a movie because, on some level, all movies are about the how we will never escape death and loss. Does that apply to this slate of films? Please allow me to laugh for one hundred years at that question. But there is no time to laugh for 100 years—I would die before I ever finished. And it would interfere with all the great movies from 2023. A sleepy little movie called Barbie came out this year, and right alongside it released a big bomb, Oppenheimer. I'm just messin. Bomb not in the box-office sense, but rather the bomb at the center of the movie. We loved Anatomy of a Fall and Zone of Interest (both just a normal amount), but did we like them enough for either to win Movie of the Year? You'll have to/get to listen to find out! They made 'em; you maybe watched 'em; we'll rank 'em. Visit our websiteUse our Amazon page!Like us!Follow us!

2023 - Best of the Year: TV Dramas

3/14/2024
Our 2023 Best TV Drama bracket is here to pick the best dramatic moments of 2023! Drama, aren't we meant to save it for our mamas? But this bracket of brave shows asks the question, "Is that a real question?" No, no it isn't. TV drama is for when you want to put on something that isn't comedy, but you are afraid of movies because they are too much like books. These TV dramas are here to let us know that not all drama has to be smart, well-written, original, entertaining, bracket-worthy, or good, really, like at all. The state of TV dramas is pretty bad right now, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few epic stand outs. And you can't say epic stand out without immediately thinking of Blue Eye Samurai. This show is so profoundly beautiful in one moment, and then it is devastating and disgusting in the next. Another great show is Succession, which went out on top, still serving us our delicious boar on the floor. However, that show is gone forever now. But can it win in its last year of life? Let's see, won't us?, as we take a stroll through the TV dramas of the year 2023. They made 'em; you watched 'em; we'll rank 'em. Visit our websiteUse our Amazon page!Like us!Follow us!

2023 - Best of the Year: Albums

3/7/2024
Movie of the Year 2023 Best Album Our 2023 Best Album bracket is here to pick the best musical moments of 2023! John Album, inventor of the album, was heard to remark one day, "There should be a playlist where all the songs are by one artist, and all songs on this playlist-ish thing should be released at the same time, in a track order of the artists' choosing!" We know, of course, that John Album was driven into the wilds of the Texas panhandle for his beliefs, but no one can doubt he changed the world. It took albums a long time to catch on, but they have finally made a name for themselves and made the legend of John Album one that we still tell the kiddos late on Album Day's eve. 2023 had no shortage of these bespoke playlists, many of them from artists I could name. And so I will: boygenius came out with an album so good they had to call the CD the record. Caroline Polacheck made a name for herself with Desire, I Want to Turn Into You. And Mitski did the dang thing with her own album, False Lankum. No, wait, that one was from the band Lankum. But you get the idea. They made 'em; you listened to 'em; we'll rank 'em.

2023 - Best of the Year: Horror Films

2/29/2024
Movie of the Year 2023 Best Horror Our 2023 Best Horror bracket is here to pick the best scary movie of 2023! Horror movies, are they too scary? Yes, they are too scary and also too awful; however, some people seem to like them. But can watching them ever be enough? No, it is important that we do more than watch them—we must judge them, and having judged them, we must set them to fight against one another. If you had all the baddies in this fighting it out, you would probably have to go with the big lizard who loves Eddie Izzard, Godzilla. This might just be head canon, but I have always felt that Godzilla was a huge fan of Eddie Izzard. Who isn't though? They made 'em; you watched 'em; we'll rank 'em.

Everyone should have the freedom to decide what's best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans.

The 2023 BOTY Preview Show covers all of our upcoming Best of the Year episodes! The year 2023 has drawn to a close. But before we can say goodbye to it forever, we need to decide what were the best media of the this remarkable year. However, 16 movies, 16 TV dramas, 16 TV comedies, 16 albums, 55 burgers, and 55 fries is way too much for us to comment on meaningfully with our trademark penerative wits. So we are giving ourselves an opportunity to cut those 16 down to a more manageable 8 each, except for the burgers and fries. In this episode we tackle the TV and the albums. TV is something you put on to look at your phone when you are at home; albums are what you put on to look at your phone when you are out in the world, so they make a natural pair.

2023 - Oscar Draft

1/18/2024
In the 2024 Oscar Draft, we draft the movies of 2023 to see who can get the most Oscar nominations! We have seen the movies of 2023. Now, it is time to make our picks for which we think will get the most Oscar nominations. Not wins here, people: nominations. A blockbuster movie like Barbie or Oppenheimer is liable to get upwards of ten noms. That's the kind of movie you want to pick in a draft like this. Each panelist will have four rounds to pick their Oscar nomination squad, but here's the thing, the other panelists are going to be making picks too. (Personally I hate this part, but they assure me it's important.) You want to hit the big money with a movie that gets high single-digit or even double-digit nominations, but you also want rounds three and four to bring you in a couple of nom dogs at least. It's these late rounds where it is usually won—by the likes of Ryan—or lost—by the likes of everyone else (mostly Greg), except for Books. We used to do this for fun. Then, it was for the movies. Eventually, we did it for ourselves. But now? Now, we do it to destroy one another. Visit our websiteUse our Amazon page!Like us!Follow us! Abortion is healthcare While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade on June 24th. Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what's best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn't be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.
