    80 for Brady

    80 for Brady

    It sounds like 80 for Brady is right up Ethan's alley. Ethan is satisfied with just an all-star cast of comedic women actors thirsting for Tom Brady in a movie that Tom Brady produced. This follows four ladies, most of whom are over 80, trying to find a way to make it to the Super Bowl. It's a cozy movie! Only one of them has any significant problems they have to work through, and in the end, is it even a problem?

    It's time to get Fierious!

    Leprechaun: Origins

    Leprechaun: Origins

    Okay so Lerepchaun: Origins we somehow missed. We apologize for this error and we're being punished for it by actually watching this abomination of a movie. Someone thought it would be cool to reboot the franchise and remove all personality from the Leprechaun and make his design so bad that he could be a monster in any other movie you've ever heard of. This is a seriously upsetting movie from a quality perspective. This may be the final episode of our podcast at this rate.

    Leprechaun: Returns

    Leprechaun: Returns

    The seventh entry in the Leprechaun series is a sequel to the very first leprechaun movie! Although Warwick doesn't return as the leprechaun, other characters from the first movie do! This is exciting. This is what's been missing from the leprechaun franchise. We just need a little continuity and we finally have it. What a great movie to end the series on! :)

    Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood

    Leprechaun Back 2 tha Hood

    The sixth entry in the Leprechaun series and technically a sequel to Leprechaun in the Hood, Back 2 tha Hood takes a much more serious tone than its predecessor. Weirdly enough it may have the best acting in the entire series. But is it enough to balance the total shift the movie makes?

    Leprechaun in the Hood (REMIX)

    For the first time ever, we're watching a movie for The Other Half Podcast AGAIN! Let's see if Leprechaun in the Hood hits differently in 2024. Only 5 years after we originally recorded this episode. What new insights will our prior viewings of the leprechaun franchise reveal? Will we still even like it? What does our leprechaun friend have to say about it this time?

    Leprechaun 4: In Space

    Leprechaun 4: In Space

    Leprechaun 4: In Space actually may have broken us. Just like NASA, the budget is gone. There are people you recognize, but no one you love. Everyone is just a little bit horny. They've given up on the Leprechaun costume. Things are looking dire for this franchise. Sometimes movie franchises can have a correction period, let's see if the boys decide it's worth riding this franchise out until the end.

Both Halves Make a Hilarious Whole

In a world saturated with stuffy movie review podcasts that all feel more or less the same, The Other Half has managed to break from convention and capture my interest.

The premise itself is interesting and entertaining, but Mike and Ethan really bring life to the party. Listening to them try to piece together the ending and grasp for context is hilarious, especially when something suddenly makes sense to one of them. It's clear these two are good friends, and when I listen, I feel like I'm part of the conversation.

Do you like movies? Do you like to laugh? Do you have a pulse? If you answered yes to any of these, you'll undoubtedly enjoy listening to The Other Half.

One day I couldn’t find my keys. Then I turned on this podcast and shortly after, I found my keys. Who knows what else this podcast can help me find. The approval and love I’ve always craved from my father? True love? The meaning of life??
