    The movies that made us | s2e02

    Alan Watts once said that “trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.” And we took that personally. Enjoy 50 tooth-chomping minutes in which we explain why Pixar is America’s most dangerous gateway drug and identify the movies that shaped our cinematic taste. Er, tastes. Respectively.   Do you love movies? Do you tolerate our shenanigans? Follow us on Letterboxd! Ben - https://boxd.it/3DGMx Brady - https://boxd.it/73Etn

    Sequel Tier List [Part 2] | s01e11

    In a bold move nobody expected, Ben and Brady turn this sequel tier list into it's own trilogy. In this episode (that sounds like it was recorded in zoom or mixed by Christopher Nolan for IMAX) the dudes rank The Dark Knight,  The Empire Strikes Back, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Matrix Reloaded.

    Friendship (2024) | s01e09

    Ben and Brady sit down for a chat about Friendship—does that mean the relational concept or the 2024 film starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd? How about both!? NOTE for those returning to the pod: This is the first time in our show's recorded history where we struggle to muppetize a film. It's not about the destination though, right?
