    S3 - E30 - Movie Madness Tournament

    Season three comes to a close, as does the alphabetic chapter of File Under: Entertainment, and we send it off the only way we know how; by arguing at length over the hits and (mostly) misses of the season, determining the "best" movie covered in season three. Join Eric, Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intern Talking Points⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠ Riley's Parrot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Jake & David from ⁠LifeIs Unfair⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠Real Piece Of Sitcom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, (The guysare also part of the incredible Twitch channel,⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LetsPlay Deathray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where they variety stream all sortsof awesome content, banter back and forth, and interact with their community in amazing ways. Our buddy Mark from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rushing The Field⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and newcomer Alissa, as they weed through the 83 films in a seeded tournament across 4 and half hours of hot takes, jokes, and the usual roasts of each other, (and Eric's s****y movie takes). The show will be on Summer hiatus, but we'll be back in the Fall with season 4, sticking with the movie theme but in a slightly different direction as instead of alphabetically, we'll be filing by decade, discussing films from the 1920's through the 2020's. We hope you enjoy the lovely weather with family and friends, and then hunker down with us again as the weather cools, getting your warmth from the usual hot takes that FUE does best. Until then, always remember that you can't go A-Z without F U.

    S3 - E29 - "Z" - Zebra Lounge, Zootopia

    Zed's dead, but we're very much alive, baby, in this final alphabetic installment of season three, as we tackle "Z"! It's just Eric and Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intern Talking Points⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠ Riley's Parrot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ talking about a C grade movie focusing on swingers and murder, and an A list animated feature with anthropomorphized animals, and almost as much nudity as the ""erotic thriller"". We went in alphabetical order, talking about: Zebra Lounge⁠ (Eric) Zootopia (Jared) "Very Important Questions" is as fun for me, and as groan inducing for Jared, as always. So keep your knickers on in the elevator, grab your Pawpscicles, sidle up alongside Mr. Big, Eric, and Jared, and listen to this episode.....then smash your big screen TV, less out of fear of your sex tape playing in front of your kids, and more out of the knowledge that you just watched Zebra Lounge; and then smash your phone or listening device because you actually dared to listen to us talk about it!! If you, or a loved one, is, or has been affected by sexual violence, please know that there are good people and organizations in the world that can offer help. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RAINN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NSVRC⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (national sexual violence research center) has resources to help victims, and, importantly, tips on prevention and warning signs. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SPSAmerica⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is America's leading suicide prevention network.

    S3 - E28 - "Y" - Yes Man, Young Frankenstein, Young Guns - with Jake & David from 'Life Is Unfair'

    Y oh Y is it so difficult to get through this iteration of the alphabet? A corrupted file (fitting, since so many of these movie picks are "corrupted", right? Wink wink nudge nudge), and issues with Spotify loading mean that this episode is dropping on an atypical day than you are used to seeing in your feed. But again, atypical is probably what you signed up for following this show, and you should be used to it by now. We're joined by Jake & David from Life Is Unfair /⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Real Piece Of Sitcom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, the podcast which has returned (albeit momentarily) to it's Malcolm In The Middle roots! The guys are also part of the incredible Twitch channel,⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lets Play Deathray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where they variety stream all sorts of awesome content, banter back and forth, and interact with their community in amazing ways. Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intern Talking Points⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Riley's Parrot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is here as always, with the bitching, drops, and boops and blops. We went in alphabetical order, talking about: Yes Man (Jared) Young Frankenstein (Jake & David shared pick) Young Guns (Eric) "Very Important Questions" is here as always. I'm not active on X anymore, and in any case, polls are down, so I will post the Would You Rather questions in Spotify if you'd like to answer, or, you can always send your response (or anything on your mind) to our e-mail: Fileunderpod@gmail.com If you, or a loved one, is, or has been affected by sexual violence, please know that there are good people and organizations in the world that can offer help. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RAINN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NSVRC⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (national sexual violence research center) has resources to help victims, and, importantly, tips on prevention and warning signs. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SPSAmerica⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is America's leading suicide prevention network.

    S3 - E27 - "X" - Xchange, Xeno

    "X" gonna give it to ya. And Eric and Jared are too! (What "it" is is debatable). It's just me and Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intern Talking Points⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and Riley's Parrot⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ talking about low budget sci-fi from the year 2000 that Jared thought was from the '80's, and a trope filled teen drama creature feature that was actually much better than that description gives it credit for. We went in alphabetical order, talking about: Xchange (Eric) Xeno (Jared) "Very Important Questions" is as fun for me, and as groan inducing for Jared, as always. So c'mon "corpie"!

    S3 - E24 - The Christmas "gift" - 'Santa Claus Conquers The Martians' - with Jake from RPOS & Mark from RTF

    This is a "gift" that you might want to return; or at least you'll be thankful that we did the suffering so you don't have to watch it yourself, and the joy you get is our combined misery having watched this piece of "cinema" that is more like something you find on the floor in the Reindeer's stables. We're discussing the Christmas "cult classic" 'Santa Claus Conquers The Martians', which might be less cult classic and more like something a cult uses to deprogram people when they just don't want any more members. ("We only have so many tracksuits...") Joining us is Jake from ⁠⁠Real Piece Of Sitcom⁠⁠, the podcast going through every sitcom in thematic order, which you can hear each Thursday. He's also part of the incredible Twitch channel, ⁠⁠Lets Play Deathray⁠⁠, where they variety stream all sorts of awesome content, banter back and forth, and interact with their community in amazing ways. And Mark from RUSHING THE FIELD (link below because I'm too lazy to double up), and of course, Super Producer/Co-host Jared, from ⁠⁠Intern Talking Points and ⁠⁠Riley's Parrot⁠⁠ who, you will probably not be surprised, liked the movie. For those brave souls wishing to partake of this madness yourselves, here you go: Santa Claus Conquers The Martians We continue "Very Important Questions" and YOU, the listener, can weigh in on the "would you rather" questions.

We went in alphabetical order, talking about: The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent (Eric) Unhinged (Jared) "Very Important Questions" gets a twist, with just the two of us, Jared wasn't AS bummed about his results, especially since he got to choose my options as well. As always, I'll post them to X where YOU, the listener, can weigh in on the "would you rather" questions. Check it out @FileUnderPod.
