Don't Worry, B Movies

One man versus a giant corporation; little David's windshield wiper invention takes on the Detroit auto industry Goliath in this week's film, A Flash of Genius. Amanda and Wade discuss why men like business movies, how the irrepressibly avuncular Greg Kinnear did a great job of staying true to the real person he was portraying, and there's a fun scene about an Office-style sitdramedy concerning land rights on the moon.

Today we journey to the land of Prydain and Disney’s bold attempt at a dark children’s story. Grab your prem-con and trade a weapon for a friend while we get to know Taran and his friends.

Do you truly know your friends and loved ones? Do you actually know... yourself? These are questions a group of friends face at a dinner party during a comet flyby in the amazing film Coherence brought to the podcast by our friend Cassie Skamarock. We discuss Cassie's deep dive into the making of this film, the director's use of a loose script and improvisation, how a certain dark choice elevated the movie from cool to can't-stop-thinking-about-it, and much more. Pour yourself a glass of wine (ketamine optional), light a candle and enjoy... if you dare.

This week is all about revisiting childhood trauma as we cover a movie that Wade could never finish. Even to this day! A radio show begs for names for a transplanted beach and mysterious old lady warns us against interdimensional portals and more!

Thanks to this week's movie, "Einstein and Eddington", Wade and Amanda have decided to put aside their pretend differences and come together in a glorious show of podcastular cooperation. True, they've always been allies, but the gestures was no less heartfelt. They talk about how two scientists on opposite sides of a war decided to do just that, forever changing our understanding of physics and the universe. Also in the mix are some fun Einstein facts (perhaps some mortuary robbing), and even an apperance by Smeagle, the 10th doctor, Queen Liz, and a certain other ring-bearer. Enjoy!

This week Wade and Amanda are joined by their good friend Greg Counts to discuss this 80s film about a smart kid making a silly decision. Perhaps…his mother should have insisted on the gonad lasers. But then we wouldn’t have a movie! Or a wacky sequel featuring Nic Cage and plutonium fueled madness!

Monsters! Ah! Aliens! Double ah! But Monsters vs. Aliens? So many ah's! Amanda and Wade discuss the nice and easy, feel-good charms of this Reece Witherspoon animated film, including, but not limited to, Amanda's peculiar form of face blindness, Seth Rogan's affability, Dreamworks' animated face skills, and the mating habits of the praying mantis. True, a quick wikipedia search will show that Wade is mistaken about mantises. Also, as a bonus game, try to count the number of times the term "gaslighting" is used. It's the word of the day!

Wade and Amanda have an important question….if your best friend turned into a demon that needed to feed on boys to stay alive, would you feed them or would you kill them? Deep philosophical questions like this and more abound in this week’s episode!

The whims of seas and skies are fickle and unfathomable, but this week Amanda and Wade are going to try and fathom them anyway in this discussion about the Criterion classic, Local Hero. The two discuss the mixture of comedy and philosophical depth that this movie manages to weave together, the hilarious - if misguided - ministrations of the film's insult psychologist, and the complex, melancholic joys of travel. Plus, there's some murderous mermaids! How fun. Push play and enjoy!

This week we are joined by our good friend Emily Kingsley to discuss My Stepmother is an Alien, an 80's movie with A-list stars, a purse alien, a scattered plot, misogyny, fake movie science, questionable parental moments, and a very cute dog. In addition to these things, we talk about how Kim Basinger's acting chops and commitment basically carry this movie, and how deeply troubling some of the mindsets were in the 80's. Check out Emily's standup showcase in Denver called The Matriarchy Presents...

Amanda and Wade welcome you in for a night of murder mystery, hijinks, and fun as they discuss this cult classic film. Get out your retro board games but keep on the lookout for the Board Game Killer and protect against socializing with the new Poo Poo Me Perfume.

Are you feeling soooooo good? Grood! This bonus episode is a nostalgia trip for Amanda and Wade as they dig through the archives of homestar runner dot com to unearth the gem that is a squad of teen girls. Are you on this trip with them or is this your first time with Cheerleader, So And So, What’s Her Face, and The Ugly One?

You're in for a doozy this week because we're discussing the cult classic Mike Judge film Idiocracy. We marvel at how much the film crew did with so little in the form of budget, time, or any sort of reasonable marketing or theatrical release at all, and also dig into the sweetness (kinda) and humility (well, a bit) of President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho played by the inimitable Terry Crews. This film is intentionally crass and offensive (fair warning), but deserves a watch nonetheless. Enjoy!

We are joined this week by our special guest Marianne Krajewski to talk about 80s cult classic, The Lost Boys. The hair! The jazz! The broody older brothers! We love it all. Rent the movie from your local Brock Lusters Video Tape Rentals and Buy-als todays! And don’t forget, vampires are people too. Amanda would like to issue an apology to actresses Dee Wallace and Dianne Wiest for mixing them up in reference to Cujo.

This week we are talking about the Gillian Robespierre masterpiece Obvious Child. Amanda and Wade talk about how amazingly talented and charming Jenny Slate is in general and particularly in this movie, and the joys of dancing around in one's underwear. They also dig deep on how important it is to be a good friend without injecting your own biases as well as demystifying certain topics so that they can be approached with empathy and understanding. Yup, we get deep in this episode. Enjoy!

Does this movie have more than meets the eye? Amanda sure thinks so! Tune in to hear some deep thoughts but be careful not to sink into the music too hard.

There have been so many Peter Pan adaptations, but this week we're talking specifically about the under-appreciated 2003 version! Wade and Amanda discuss the amazing art direction, the amazing James Newton Howard score, and the AMAZING performances by Jason Isaacs and Ludivine Sagnier. Tune in and let yourself drift off to Neverland... from which you may never escape mwa ha. Ha. Or something.

Will diamonds cause your fingers to fall off even if you use Cryoswipe? We don’t know! But what we do know is that this imperfect late 90’s movie still has a lot to love about it. Join Wade and Amanda this week as they absorb the camp like Poison Ivy’s pheromones and re-emerge as wackier people.

For this week's episode, Amanda and Wade are joined by our good friend Shelley Ollig to discuss the 2006 indie gem The Science of Sleep. The three talk about the refreshing authenticity of Gael Garcia Bernal and Charlotte Gainsbourg, the incredible disorientation this film invokes in the viewer, and the ups and downs of managing life and relationships when one is in crisis. Shelley was such a fun guest and we can't wait for you to enjoy this episode!
