Holiday Movie Month continues with the Netflix Christmas classic A CHRISTMAS PRINCE. We're diving deep into journalistic integrity, questioning how the government of Aldovia functions and defending the cousin who actually wants to lead the country instead of continuously shirking his duties.

377: The Family Stone

We're continuing with Holiday Movie Month by talking about THE FAMILY STONE. Craig and Rebecca take two very different stances on this "meet the family" Christmas movie as we talk about rude families, bigoted girlfriends, and the insanity of the "brother swap" ending.

376: The Muppet Christmas Carol

We're kicking off our Holiday Movie Month with the much requested MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL. That's right, we're defending pre-lesson-learned Ebineezer Scrooge, who only wants to "keep Christmas in his own way", might not even be rich and pays Kermit the Frog enough to afford a house in downtown London.

374: Dante's Peak

This week we're talking about the time James Bond and Sarah Connor fought a mountain in 1997's volcano disaster movie DANTE'S PEAK. We're defending cautious bosses who dare to rely on science rather than feelings, siding with a town council worried about investments in their community and figuring out if a lake can really be turned to acid.

I love listening to Craig and Rebecca’s takes on movies I enjoyed - it feels like discussing with funny friends. Lot of fun nostalgia thinking about these movies/TV shows. Definitely recommend the podcast
Great show

I live the presenters and the concept. It has made me rethink movies and tv shows on several occasions. Great background noise as I work.
Craig don’t victim blame:/

I still gave 5 stars because I love this pod and have been listening since before the pandemic. But I was disappointed to hear Craig (despite his claims and intentions) victim blame Mary. Reeds cleared it up right away but this was a serious disappointment for me because I’ve always seen Craig as an ally. I know he is human and makes mistakes and is still an ally but the disappointment comes from expecting him to understand and have stalking victims’ backs instead of implying that kindness and authenticity should be curbed in order to keep men from being dogs. I hope Craig reads this and can meditate on the idea that our society(including Craig) teaches women how to not be assaulted by men, when we should be teaching men to not assault women. By making those statements about “Mary’s patterns”, Craig failed to call out men’s patterns…. Just so disrespectful and disappointing man. I love Kat and Jocelyn too and just can’t believe that Craig’s thoughts are so warped on assault.
oh brother
