Episode 215: Friendship

Look, we get it: not everyone is a fan of Tim Robinson’s unique style of comedy. And while Friendship may not be the ultimate litmus test on his comedic sensibilities, it has its moments of real drama and relatable circumstances for the everyman that poke through his specific line delivery and chaotic energy. If you weren’t into I Think You Should Leave or The Chair Company, maybe give this one a shot. Tune in to our episode (which is so cherry) as we discuss the film, plus extreme food challenges, exploring abandoned places, and kissing your parents on the mouth.Friendship stars Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd, Kate Mara, Jack Dylan Grazer, Rick Worthy, and Whitmer Thomas.

Episode 214: Frankenstein (2025)

Guillermo del Toro had been waiting to make his version of Frankenstein for a long time, and in 2025 we finally got to see what he can do with the classic story. It turned out to be a 9-Oscar nominations worthy endeavor. Some interesting spins on the beloved novel await those curious enough to see what Jacob Elordi can do as The Monster, so put on your finest ascot and pour a tall glass of white (milk) as we dissect this one. Plus, discussions on whether or not Christoph Waltz is a good actor, Victor’s goop diet, and just how many babies Nathan could beat in a fight to death.Frankenstein (2025) stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, and David Bradley.

Episode 213: 28 Years Later

It had been 18 years since the last entry in the 28 (or 28 x Later…) franchise, but Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s return could not have been more welcomed. While 28 Years Later was incredibly divisive (especially due to that ending), no one could argue that this entry into this infected (read: zombie) property wasn’t unique and refreshing. We love this one and hope you do too. So hold onto your head (and spine) as we tear into this one as well as discuss decrepit punk houses, the nicest thing Mallie’s ever said, Larry the Cable Guy’s only good joke, and, of course, those Alpha dongs.28 Years Later stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Ralph Fiennes, and Erin Kellyman.

Episode 212: Next

Remember 2007’s Next? No? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. This Nic Cage vehicle is one of his more forgotten outputs from the past 20 years and for good reason. A plot that truly doesn’t make any sense is only outweighed by apathetic performances and even lazier direction. Couple all of that with what has to be one of the most insulting endings to a movie ever and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Luckily for us, our episode is far better. Tune in to hear us breakdown the movie (as best we can), plus conversations about Cage’s absurd hair, magic coin blood, and, of course, soiling yourself to get out of a situation.Next stars Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore, Jessica Biel, Thomas Kretschmann, Tory Kittles, and Peter Falk.
