    Before The Stench, When We Were Happy

    Before The Stench, When We Were Happy

    James and Heidi have a gas profiling this blast of a film. You'll hear about the wunderkind director who is not afraid to ask the universal romantic question: "How far would you be willing to go to sustain a relationship founded on chronic flatulence?" Get ready to explode with emotion.

    Raiders of the Lost Generation

    Raiders of the Lost Generation

    Heidi and James welcome the power couple (oh, wait, they hate being called a power couple--they are way too edgy and non-corporate for that) who made a movie about the man fighting to live on the last tiny speck of undeveloped land in the world. Again, our guests are totally non-corporate. Really. You'll see.

    The Shark Whisperer

    The Shark Whisperer

    Heidi and James go deep for a profile of this boundary-busting family film from Dalt Wisney studios. A certain "Benecio" is among the in-studio guests who take us behind the scenes at a movie about the unsung heroes of the ocean. Sharks. Oh, and Shark Whisperers, too, sure.

    Oh!

    Oh!

    James and Heidi welcome their most challenging movie yet! Wherein the protagonist only ever says one word: "Oh!"  You know, like the mobsters in movies when they throw up their hands in utter disbelief at something untoward that just happened. Listen to this one, or...fuhgettaboutit!
