  1. Oh, Canada

    Oh, Canada

    Happy Canada Month, let's watch Oh, Canada! despite admittedly knowing very little about Canada besides Trailer Park Boys, Letterkenny, Scott Pilgrim, and the film My Winnipeg. But we're hoping that a whole month dedicated to Canada and all of it's movies will change that! Unfortunately besides being called Oh, Canada, this movie barely takes place in Canada in fact, Jacob Elordi spends most of his dang time right at the border of Canada! Join us as we unpack Paul Schrader's obsession with miserable men narrating their own existential dread, debate whether digital photography is bad or good, and witness Richard Gere make his grand return to cinema while wearing a adult diapers!

  2. The BFG

    25 juni

    The BFG

    We close out Steven Stinkers with one of his latest stinkers, the BFG. Now we want to mention that The BFG is a silly name. Because compared to other giants, he's actually pretty small. Should be called the LFG to be honest. But that's just a wittle twingy twanger that bothers us. Mark Rylance stars as the BFG and despite being a character that's fully CGI, he does a great performance. That can be attributed to the special effects presented in the movie. The main character, Sophie, goes to giant land and the practical effects mixed with the CGI result in some dazzling scenes. Not enough to dazzle audiences though as this is still a Steven Stinker. Also Roald Dahl, really loves using silly little idioms, which makes those whole movie just seem a bit silly. YES WE KNOW IT'S FOR KIDS. Grab some snozzcumbers, slap on some heady-phonies, and get ready to take a ride with the Other Half into Giant Country.

  3. War Horse

    War Horse

    Steven is back with a movie about a horse that goes into war. Imagine World War I but through the eyes of a horse. It actually kind of feels like a Disney movie that way it all comes together. That makes sense considering it was distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures so it kind of lines up. Surprisingly a PG-13 movie of this style kind of works even thought WWI was one of the bloodiest wars of all time. Join us as we unpack a movie that is somehow equal parts Saving Private Ryan and Racing Stripes. One of us suffers in the trenches and the other one complains about the cost of a horse. 30 guineas! What the hell are they?! Doesn't matter enjoy this annoying goose. Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!

  4. 1941

    11 juni

    1941

    We continue our Steven Stinker's month with another one from his collection of flops, 1941! A movie he had made fairly soon after Jaws. Which is a curious choice considering this movie starts with a Jaws visual gag. It's a choice. Just like making a choice to parody 1941 in America. Not always the funniest of times then. You can consider most of these choices to be "funny" ideas on paper, but executed poorly. For example Christopher Lee as a Nazi and Slim Pickins as a California bumpkin stuck in a U-Boat sounds hilarious! But in reality it's kind of odd. Plus don't forget about the literal ninjas featured in the movie. Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!

    The Sugarland Express

    What's up y'all, Steven Spielberg is in the house with our new month of Steven Stinkers! These are all the movies that the most prolific man in Hollywood made that made the least amount of money. We're starting with the lowest one first, Sugarland Express. To be fair, at this point he wasn't a household name yet, so we can see why it didn't make a lot of money. But quality wise, a "true" story about love and crime starring Goldie Hawn has to at least be entertaining to watch right?

    Byzantium

    We say goodbye to Mays Days with Byzantium, which is like if Twilight was for emotionally immature adults! Daniel Mays is in this movie as a young man who is down on his luck and just wants to spend 50 quid on a sex act. Luckily the vampire mom and daughter squad take a liking to him and use his house to start a new brothel in this rundown small town. But trouble follows these two vampires played by Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton. Will they be able to get themselves out of the grasp of vampires who hunt vampires!?

    Nanny McPhee Returns

    Nanny McPhee Returns stars Emma Thompson and is also written by Emma Thompson who apparently loves a cheeky fart joke. Mike says F them kids as they're so mean to our boy Daniel Mays who drives around the rich kids in this movie. Don't worry though, Nanny McPhee is here to whip those kids into shape. Oh also Maggie Gyllenhaal for some reason as the mom? Check out https://shop.theotherhalfpodcast.com/ to help support the show and get your room some cool art!

  8. Mr Nobody

    14 maj

    Mr Nobody

    Mays Days continues with Mr Nobody and more than ever are we regretting our decision. Mr. Nobody follows Nemo Nobody (Jared Leto) as he goes through his memories and all of the different choices he would have made. The movie is meant to be incoherent, but luckily Daniel Mays is there to help set things straight! He plays the "Young Reporter" who interviews Mr Nobody. If you enjoy listening to the boys suffer trying to grasp a plot, this is an episode for you! Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!
