    The Odyssey w/ Jack Finnigan - You Pick The Movie #8

    Jack Finnigan joins us to talk about Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, because apparently watching a three-hour movie wasn’t enough—we also had to spend another 79 minutes arguing about it. We debate whether Nolan made a masterpiece or a very expensive excuse to yell about mythology, whether Matt Damon was actually the right guy to play Odysseus, why Anne Hathaway is basically the MVP, and why Tom Holland continues to exist despite our objections. We get into the Trojan horse, Hades, practical effects, PTSD, hubris, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, 70mm IMAX, and the deeply important question of whether a movie can be both spectacular and kind of emotionally empty. Jack brings the film-nerd perspective, Levi brings the skepticism, and everyone brings an unhealthy amount of confidence to conversations about ancient Greece that none of us were qualified to have. In the end, we agree the movie looks incredible, Hades rules, Nolan knows how to make an absolutely massive movie, and Matt Damon is… fine. So grab some popcorn, ignore the runtime, and join us as we attempt to decide whether The Odyssey is cinematic greatness or just three hours of Greek guys having the worst vacation imaginable.

    The Heartbreak Kid w/Trent Mabry - You Pick The Episode #7

    Jessica Levin and Levi White rope in Trent Mabry to nerd out about the original 1972 The Heartbreak Kid — a dusty Neil Simon/ Elaine May anti-rom‑com that somehow got buried by a pharma company (seriously). They roast and admire Charles Grodin’s consummate dirtbag energy, swoon/side‑eye Cybill Shepherd, and marvel at how the movie quietly delights in discomfort. Trent’s a proud deep‑cut picker; the hosts go from “this movie? nah” to “actually, respect” as they unpack cringe, sunburns, lobster dinners, and a man who marries for a nut and maybe a trust fund. Takeaway: awkward, hilarious, and oddly timeless — perfect for rooting and facepalming in equal measure.

    Roadhouse (1989) OG w/ Ray Zawodni- You Pick The Movie #6

    The gang welcomes comedian Ray Zawaodni to defend his beloved 1989 masterpiece Road House, immediately igniting a blood feud over whether Patrick Swayze's Dalton is one of cinema's greatest action heroes or just a shirtless philosopher with incredible hair. What follows is an hour of lovingly overanalyzing bar fights, debating whether professional bouncers used to travel the country like touring rock bands, praising Sam Elliott's majestic mustache, and wondering if Bar Rescue secretly stole its entire premise from this movie. Along the way, they argue about Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dirty Dancing, prison one-liners, John Taffer, and whether "Pain Don't Hurt" belongs in the same quote hall of fame as Shakespeare. In the end, everyone agrees on exactly one thing: Road House is either a perfect action movie or complete nonsense—and somehow that's exactly why it's still so much fun to watch.

    Top 5 w/ Jared Waters- You Pick The Movie #5

    This week, the gang is joined by Tampa Bay's own,  Jared Waters. The man is a world traveler, speaks 30 languages, and does 50 sets a night. One of those is a lie. He's also the Love Doctor. So we talk about Levin's love affairs, SNL after parties, and we eventually remember they're supposed to be reviewing Chris Rock's Top Five after detouring through politics, beach parties, mushrooms, skincare, and wrestling. What follows is a chaotic celebration of comedian cameos, ridiculous celebrity stories, and nonstop riffing that somehow reviews the movie while getting distracted by literally everything else.  We also give our top 5s. TURBOOOOOO IFYYK Follow Jared (the guy on the horse) https://www.instagram.com/mrwaters__/?hl=en and watch his Don't Tell Set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLM0loNK0bM Does anyone read this shit?  Also, if there are grammar mistakes I stopped paying grammarly and my computer refuses to help me.

    The Gentlemen - Cam Stafford- You Pick The Movie #4

    This week's You Pick the Movie kicks off with producer Cam choosing Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen, but the crew spends way more time proving they should never host a history podcast. What starts as a movie intro immediately spirals into forgetting actors' names, debating whether every Black British actor is secretly Stormzy, attempting wildly inaccurate British accents, recounting Cam's Bermuda vacation, and somehow ending up in ancient Mesopotamia while confidently trying to locate Babylon on a modern map.  Between roasting Bermuda's resort food, bullying Talal, and collectively fact-checking each other's nonsense in real time, they eventually remember they're supposed to be talking about The Gentlemen—which, according to Cam, absolutely rules, even if the conversation itself is anything but gentlemanly.

    Jaws- You Pick The Movie #2

    Welcome to this week’s episode, where we dive into Jaws — the movie that made people suspicious of oceans, swimming pools, and basically any body of water with a dramatic soundtrack. Join co-hosts Jessica Levin and Levi White as they break down the classic shark thriller, from the terrifying great white to the chaos that follows when a beach town realizes something hungry is lurking beneath the waves. This week’s special guest is Long Island’s own Nick Tilleli, joining the conversation to share thoughts, laughs, and maybe a few reasons to avoid the water this summer. We’ll talk about the scares, the iconic moments, and why Jaws still has people saying “maybe I’ll just stay on the beach" Follow You Pick the Movie: https://www.instagram.com/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jlevcomedy/podcasts Follow Levi White: https://www.instagram.com/levithewhite/?hl=en Follow Jessica Levin: https://www.instagram.com/jlevcomedy/?hl=en also watch her fricken special: https://youtu.be/B7gxCjuM1cc?si=5jfPm8ZS3ETxJ7HC Produced By Cam Stafford https://www.instagram.com/camstaffordcomedy/?hl=en #jlev #standup #podcast #entertainment
