Movies with Hart Sam Fullhart and Paul Fullhart

Apocalypse Now captivated a younger Sam as he endeavored to become more familiar with great American cinema, yet the movie languished on Paul's "must watch" list for years. Join us as we discuss the sights and sounds of Apocalypse Now, debate Martin Sheen's performance, and try to make sense of the broader questions that the film forces us to ask, such as: Is war good or bad? Is there a heart of darkness in all of us? Thanks for listening!

Fantastic Mr. Fox found two fired up fans in Sam and Paul 12 years ago. The meticulously constructed frames, eye catching textures (including fur with a staggering amount of detail), and energetic stop motion animation introduced us to the unique style of Wes Anderson. This movie took risks and made bold choices showing us new possibilities within film. Now that we have explored further into Wes Anderson's filmography, it's time to go back to the beginning and ask ourselves, Does it Hold Up? Thanks for listening!

Inglourious Basterds showed young Sam and Paul that a war movie can borrow elements from spaghetti Westerns and blaxploitation films, begin its final act with a David Bowie music video, and take great liberties with the historical facts. Although some objected to these elements of Inglourious Basterds, it was a huge commercial and critical success. Now that thirteen years have gone by, it’s high time for us to revisit this Nazi-scalping romp and ask ourselves, Does it Hold Up. Thanks for listening!

Though The Big Lebowski released to mixed reviews, people became endeared to its colorful cast of characters and quotable lines as it quickly built a cult following. People say that this convoluted yet laidback movie gets better with each viewing, so this week Sam and Paul will put that to the test and revisit it to determine once and for all, Does it Hold Up? Listen as Paul struggles to explain the plot, Sam dives deep into the themes and together they analyze the characters and humor that make this movie a truly unique experience. The dude abides!

In the not-too-distant past, romantic comedies were big movie events that raked in hundreds of millions worldwide. The story of two people who initially seem completely unsuited for each other but eventually fall in love gave each of us hope of finding that special someone, even when prospects look bleak. We revisit a movie that really pushes this premise to the outermost limits of believability, 2009's The Proposal. Can a proposal of marriage based entirely on avoiding deportation and keeping one's fancy corporate job blossom into true love? Will Sam come to love this movie the way that Paul does? Tune in to find out (and please forgive Sam's poor audio quality during the opening segment)!

Small Soldiers became a landmark film for us as kids when it made us feel like we were watching Toy Story but for "big kids." We are now revisiting the movie many years later to see if there is more to it, such as a nuanced look at the United States military industrial complex, a commentary on advertising to children, and a heart warming story about finding your true home. That or it's just about some cool military action figures using flame throwers, shooting nail guns, and building awesome vehicles that would inspire "BattleBots." To find out the answer to this question and more as we revisit this childhood favorite and ask the question, Does it Hold Up? Thanks for listening!
