The Film Snobs

Just a bunch of guys who talk about a different film each week, switching category every month. Spooky, animated, musicals, and feeling lonely are just some of the realms we’ve entered. We also take this 50% seriously.

    The Quest (1986) (CHILDHOOD FEVER DREAMS #3)

    Welcome to the FEVER DREAMS!! Snobbies, this week’s pick comes to you from Eric’s mind. This pick features ET’s Henry Thomas and is directed by directors Brian Trenchard-Smith & Russell Hagg, “The Quest” or also called “Frog Dreaming.” This film was a big split. Some of the snobs liked it and one snob definitely did not like it. A film about a child who wants to find the mysterious truth behind the local “Donkeygin.” This was a fun one, Enjoy!

    Summer of the Monkeys (1998) (CHILDHOOD FEVER DREAMS #1)

    WE ARE HERE!! This topic is a bit of a trip! We have decided to do Childhood Fever Dreams! Films that we watched when we were young and barely remember the details. This episode’s pick is Caleb’s pick and he picked a truly unwatchable film, "Summer of the Monkeys." haha. We couldn’t find it for rent, buy, or stream. It was only on Youtube in 10 parts with part 4 missing, haha. WE REALLY enjoyed talking about this wacky movie and talked about our own experiences with childhood fever dreams, including Caleb’s family road trips. Enjoy!

    How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2002) (ROM COMS #5)

    WELCOME BACK! We’re here not with Jared’s pick for ROM COMS but his wife’s pick! This pick can be described as a CLASSIC rom com from the hay-day of romantic comedies. This film stars legends in Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, directed by Donald Petrie, “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” This film was funny, witty, smart, and iconic. The film was not without faults but we very much enjoyed the conversations around rom coms and their demise among other things. We hope you enjoy this episode!
