A podcast about movies that deserve a little more love.

    Freaky Tales

    Movie fan Sean Malloy joins me to discuss a fun little anthology that no one saw, but I just know is going to become a cult classic one day, 2024's Freaky Tales. Make sure to get in on the ground floor of this one now, in ten years it's going to be a much bigger deal.

    Triangle

    Horror fan Kacie Rahm joins me to discuss one of the trippiest movies I've ever covered on Staff Picks, the 2009 horror/mythology/time loop/bad parenting movie, Triangle.

    Liar Liar

    Jim Carrey fan and movie quote guy Joe Confalone joins me to discuss the movie that I think was the best use of Carrey's talents, not to mention one of the funniest movies of the 90s, 1997's Liar Liar. P.S. Beware the claw.

    The Hateful Eight

    Teacher and Colorado resident Jason Rasmussen joins me to discuss one of those movies I've been dying to talk about ever since I started this podcast, Quentin Tarantino's long disrespected 2015 masterpiece The Hateful Eight. This is absolute one of my top recommendations of any movie I've ever covered on Staff Picks. Oh, and P.S., you have to use two boards.

    That Thing You Do!

    Fellow Oneders fan David Johnson joins me to discuss a movie that was big in its day, but you probably haven't thought about in a while - the 1996 crowd pleaser That Thing You Do! Featuring THAT HIT SONG that is still amazing, even today.

    There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane

    My daughter, fellow documentary lover Vanessa Lanza, joins me to discuss one of those documentaries that, once you see once, you'll never forget. It's 2011's supremely memorable There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane.

    Fateful Findings

    Staff Picks fan and fellow lover of bad movies Jon Hageman joins me to talk about a cult classic that... oh my god... you gotta see this one to believe it. It's Neil Breen's 2012 "masterpiece", Fateful Findings.

    American Pie

    Fellow child of the 90s Christine Giver joins me to talk about one of those movies that I've always felt is much better and much sweeter than it ever gets credit for, 1999's American Pie. Which honestly might be my all-time favorite teen movie.
