Jon and Greg have seen a lot of movies. But can they really call themselves "snobs"? Despite their film bona fides and their pop culture prowess, there are many obvious blind spots that need to be filled. So follow along with Jon and Greg as they reexamine the supposed "classics" and expose themselves to more arthouse fare.

The Last Emperor (EPISODE 200!)
It seems like just yesterday the boys were getting their feet wet in the world of podcasting. Now look, ye mighty, and despair, as they now rule with iron fists and thousands of subjects at their beck and call. Glorious be the reign of the Aspiring Snobs, as they celebrate their 200th episode with a film to match the pomp and circumstance; the 1987 Best Picture winner, The Last Emperor.

Clueless
Fall is almost upon us, which means the fresh faces of youngins' are returning to classes and nearly committing vehicular manslaughter along the way. But our hosts could use a few lessons in sense and sensibility, so with a lack of pride or prejudice, they are revisiting the 1990s classic, Emm- sorry, Clueless.

Hara-kiri
With fog billowing over the hills, Greg and Jon face-off stone-faced and ready to duel. But their weapons are not steel-forged katana, but merely words, as they debate the merits and virtues of the 1962 classic of Japanese cinema, Hara-kiri.

The Before Trilogy (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight)
With their dreams of traveling to Europe still hampered by the ongoing pandemic, the boys decided to do a little staycation and just, you know, talk about their lives. Just talk and talk. Lots of talking. See how much talking both of them can stand as they revisit the Richard Linklater-directed trilogy, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight.

Pink Floyd: The Wall
In a fascist future where creativity is stifled, the boys must rebel and express themselves! Sadly, that is taking the form of podcasting. Well, maybe a whole bunch of drugs will help, but just in time for their dealer to arrive, they can catch up on the 1982 experimental film, Pink Floyd: The Wall.

Customer Reviews
New favorite show!
Here’s the truth: I “kind of” like movies. But I love listening to Jon and Greg banter about whatever movie they saw this week. They have amazing chemistry and I’m never disappointed. Keep it up guys.
Deep cuts
These guys know what they’re talking about! Well except when they speak badly about Slumdog Millionaire, which I may never forgive. But a Dustin Checks In reference while talking about Tootsie!? Seriously deep cuts here. 👍
Name a more iconic duo. I’ll wait.
Oh, that’s right. You can’t.
Jon and Greg spend hours talking about movies, both classics and new releases. What makes the podcast great is how time flies while they argue or agree on the quality of the film/films of the week. Two thumbs up.
