    Episode 001 - Gremlins and Ghoulies

    TJ Chambers (@tjchambersLA) and Andy Wood (@andytwood) present the first episode of Twinsies, a podcast about what happens when Hollywood has the same idea twice. With Christmas around the corner, what better film pair to start with than the yuletide story of cuddly mogwais turning into malevolent menaces and the story of, well, a green thing popping out of a toilet: Twin films Gremlins and Ghoulies.

    Episode 002 - Antz and A Bug's Life

    TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) tackle an iconic twin film pairing with a drama-laden backstory that follows the decline and rebirth of Walt Disney Studios, along with the founding of both Pixar and Dreamworks, and harkens back to a time only two decades ago when 2/3 of all computer animated feature films in existence were about insects: Antz and A Bug's Life.

    TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) are joined by Can I Pet Your Dog? host Renee Colvert (@ReneeColvert) and a couple of pups named Tugboat and Roo to dig into two 1989 comedies that pair human police officers with canine partners that are sometimes difficult, often messy and surprisingly horny, but are willing to take bullets for their cop buddies when things get ruff: K-9 and Turner & Hooch.

    TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) compare two cinematic biographies of a recently deceased tech icon, one of which prides itself on accurate hairstyles and boardroom drama, with the other playing fast and loose with historical details and accents in favor of emotional heft and backstage walk-and-talks: Jobs and Steve Jobs.
