Lord of the Rings- The Two Towers (2002)

Today’s brand new episode is a full review of 2002’s The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. We give it the modern-day, scene‑by‑scene treatment and ask the important questions like how is Legolas’ hair so perfect? Why is Frodo the most annoying main character in history? Does Andy Serkis deserve an Oscar for this performance, and is The Two Towers actually better than Fellowship?

Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)

Join us today as we tackle 1989’s Lethal Weapon 2. Is this actually the best Lethal Weapon movie, with peak Riggs–Murtaugh chemistry and Joe Pesci’s Leo Getz pushing the buddy-cop formula to perfection, or does it fly off the rails into 80s action nonsense? Is the toilet-scene etched into your brain? Can a truck pull a house off a mountain? Is Mr. Diplomatic Immunity the much punchable face of all-time?

Wayne's World 2 (1993)

Today’s brand new episode is a full, modern-day, scene-by-scene review of 1993’s Wayne’s World 2. Is this secretly the superior Wayne’s World movie? Are Christopher Walken and Aerosmith and upgrade over Rob Lowe and Alice Cooper? Do the Wayne–Cassandra relationship, the Jim Morrison dream sequences, and the WayneStock ending still work in 2026, or are we all just blinded by nostalgia and late-night VHS memories?

Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)

Today’s brand new episode is a full, modern-day, scene-by-scene review of 1995’s Die Hard With a Vengeance. Is this actually the best Die Hard movie, or just the most fun and rewatchable? Is the John McClane–Zeus Carver duo one of the greatest buddy-cop pairings of all time? Is this peak ’90s action or does the wonky ending keep it from true masterpiece status?

Long time listener and subscriber here…I’ve been a huge fan of the podcast for quite a long time now and love listening to your “normal”episodes, but this movie quote trivia episode is AMAZING. I love movies and movie trivia so this episode made me very happy and the format of the game was great, too. Thanks for this and please make this a reoccurring “special” episode going forward.

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
