    Donnie Darko (2001)

    If you don’t listen to this new episode, we are seriously going to doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion. Donnie Darko is one of the most-cherished and analyzed films of all-time. We give you a deeper understanding of what exactly is happening in this movie, as well as a spirited discussion on whether feces are baby mice, if keg beer is for pussies and whether or not, smurfs are asexual. The start of May of Swayz: Uncaged month. Enjoy!

    Days of Thunder (1990)

    Days of Thunder (1990)

    On today’s episode, we discuss a movie that taught us all that rubbin’ is racin’. A movie that was essentially Top Gun but with race cars.  A movie with peak middle-tooth Tom Cruise. The best movie ever made about Nascar. We are of course talking about 1990’s Days of Thunder.

    Bio-Dome (1996)

    Bio-Dome (1996)

    Bio-Dome holds a special place in many of our hearts because of the joy and laughter that it brought us when we were younger, but the critics and general public really seem to think that this is a BAD movie. Why was it so enticing to us as kids? What does ‘If you were Yogurt, would you be fruit at the bottom or stirred mean? Could they have hired a better sidekick than Stephan Baldwin? Was Pauly Shore just phoning it in on set? We dive into all of this and so much more, enjoy!

    BRUNCH: The History and Legacy of Nickelodeon

    BRUNCH: The History and Legacy of Nickelodeon

    Nickelodeon was an important part of all of our childhoods. A reliable ‘friend’ that was always there for us. The impact that this tv studio had on our lives with the incredible lineup of shows and cartoons can not be denied.  Unfortunately, much of it’s legacy has been tarnished by the recent documentary called, “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” In an effort to go back to the mini-byte days, we start this brunch off with the history of Nickelodeon, followed by some discussion of all of our favorite shows. Then we dive into the disturbing documentary.

Trip down Nostalgia lane and loving it

Hey guys! I discovered you a while ago and listen on Spotify but couldn't figure out how to WRITE a review on there so I gave ya a 5 star there and here.

All my friends have made fun of me for how much of a movie nerd I am and being able to recite lines from movies super old and this podcast makes me feel like I have discovered my people. Love you're break downs, so much so that I started looking for other podcasts with movie breakdowns and none measure up. So thanks for being awesome and also ruining others for me lol

I KNOW you guys do the nostalgia 80's,90's, 00's movies but I have a pipe dream of you guys doing a break down of the movie "American Satan" super unknown movie and a bit cheesy but I love it. It's about a young rock band that makes a deal with the devil to get famous and you can imagine how things can go from there.

Keep on killin it guys faithful listener from up in Edmonton,AB, Canada.

Fun and Bingeable

I got served a clip of the Ghostbusters episode on Instagram, and from a 10 second preview I knew we were going to be buds. Started from episode 1 and have been chipping through the back catalog. Pure gold, every one of em. Keep it coming fellas, I’ll catch up soon.
