    Patreon Preview of Best Movie Year Ever: GALAXY QUEST

    Patreon Preview of Best Movie Year Ever: GALAXY QUEST

    If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999!
    The delightful ensemble of Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell and who else? I'm forgetting someone. Oh, that's right! Justin Long also stars in GALAXY QUEST which graces the pages of our Movie Book Club in this chapter from the book BEST. MOVIE. YEAR. EVER. by Brian Raftery!. To listen to the full episode please consider throwing us a buck (there is only one Patreon tier and it is a whopping ONE DOLLAR) to hear this and all of our bonus content. No pictures of us in whip cream bikinis. That would require a larger tier of financial support.

    Enjoy and catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

    The Virgin Suicides (1999)

    The Third Part in our Pressure of the Pedestal Trilogy
    In which Sofia Coppola's nepo baby status is questioned by one host and the other can't get over Josh Hartnett's hair. However that is the case even if we were discussing THE FACULTY. This episode is on THE VIRGIN SUICIDES. Though the hosts may prefer to rewatch THE FACULTY. Less suicide. Obviously. Enjoy!

    The Second Part in our Pressure of the Pedestal Trilogy
    We Pick Flick for the second part in this month's trilogy with Reese Witherspoon in a star-making performance (sorry, she was merely the fuddy-duddy in CRUEL INTENTIONS) in Alexander Payne's ELECTION. Competing with the likes of a young Chris Klein at the height of his himbo powers we discuss how this look at high school politics ages somewhat gracefully into middle age.

    However we still don't see ourselves in Matthew Broderick. Not now. Not ever. Enjoy!

    In this episode we realize that WE... are the Max Fischer Players. God help us. And you! For we relive the glory days of our youth (and when we loved Wes Anderson) with 1998's RUSHMORE... as part of our look at the Best Movie Year Ever... of 1999. WHATEVER. We are very enthusiastic on this one!

    The Devil's Advocate (1997)

    The Devil's Advocate (1997)

    The Third Part in our Dealing with the Devil in 1997 Trilogy
    One host talks about what a GREAT ASS Connie Neilsen has and how Keanu Reeves has his head... ALL THE WAY UP IT.

    Or something to that effect. The other host presents a childhood memory of walking in on his parents watching THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE and we wrap up our dealings with the underworld by debating the merits of bringing about the antichrist or being forced to watch SPAWN again. It's not a tough choice. Enjoy!

Paraturtle ,

Great Discussions!

Love the discussions Michael has with his guests, and the format is really enjoyable. Although you may be apprehensive to listen to a few episodes since they cover 3 whole movies, they're still really enjoyable. Well worth looking for that one episode where you don't mind some spoilers and digging right in!

Reluctantly Here Podcast ,

Super interesting take on an old idea

If you’re tired of hearing boring movie review podcasts but love movies, check out this one! Super unique idea!

In Poor Taste podcast ,

A fresh take

This is a refreshing new idea in a market awash with movie podcasts. Great idea and well executed! I'm always entertained, sometimes laughing and sometimes yelling at my pod machine when they disagree with my opinion! Ha!
