August 11th marks eleven years since the world lost Robin Williams, and the possibility of more performances in the future. But the legacy he left is a rich and diverse one. We do our best to touch on as much as we can, touching on all the fan favorites and also many underappreciated gems that time seems to have lost. We discuss his unique comedy, his knack for drama, and his very convincing villain run. And yes, Jake has finally watched Death to Smoochy.

We watched a lot of new Robin Williams movies, but before that, Dustin shares spoiler-free first impressions of Fantastic Four: First Steps and Final Destination: Bloodlines. Jake gives a summary of two shows: Your Friends & Neighbors and Untamed. Then we both watched Until Dawn and of course Happy Gilmore 2.

This episode we invite our good friend James to make his feature episode debut! As a reformed Film Snob, he brings great insight, curiosity, and as always tons of fun as we discuss both the practicality and pitfalls of mainstream pretentious critics. When we're on topic, we discuss the role professional movie critics play in audience reception. We also debate if the role of critic is still relevant (or if they ever were), and to what capacity. Perhaps now more than ever the phrase "everybody is a critic" applies, because some of our favorite movies were found ignoring the formal recommendations. When we're sidetracked, we discuss movie going differences between Australia and the States, personal values and parenthood changing our perception, the downfall of movie poster art, and crying during Venom 3, and much, much more!

Check out the "I Was A Teenage Film Snob" podcast! James and friends are always having fun and insightful movie discussions, including a growing backlog of interesting industry interviews. https://linktr.ee/filmsnob

This episode, we finally return to taping into a full director's filmography (mostly). Guy Ritchie has been crazy busy lately, movies and shows coming out all the time. While some see his career as being very up and down, we review and speculate why the misteps make sense, and why some of his flops deserve more credit than they get. We discuss his original short film: The Hard Case, in addition to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Swept Away, Revolvr, RocknRolla, Sherlock Holmes & Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Aladdin, The Gentlemen, Wrath of Man, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, The Covenant, and Dustin's favorite movie of 2024 - Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (we only both didn't have time for Fountain of Youth and MobLand). It's also amazing how many times his work should have launched massive franchises, but didn't. We still hold out hope for revivals in the future!

Before that, Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of Superman, Sinners, Jurassic World: Rebirth, Minecraft, Risen, and Monster Summer. Jake has watched most of Squid Game season 3 and The Better Sister.

Want to watch the whole movie from beginning to end with your friends commenting and discussing, roasting it and maybe crying a little the whole time? Well you're in luck! Recorded last year, we're releasing this episode now for free for everyone, in the spirit of freedom this Independence Day. Hopefully the video version isn't banned, but if it is, you should press play on your copy of "The Patriot" as soon as the intro song ends on this episode (15 seconds in) to sync them up. You should know we're watching the Extended Cut of "The Patriot."

• Jake breaks out some props (as in propaganda)
• Dustin breaks a promise
• We address the parts of the movie that are not historically accurate
• We discuss if that matters, and what parts ARE
• We catch Benjamin Martin sneaking a peek at some cleavage
• We try to figure out what Mel Gibson's best movie is
• We reflect on the complicated founding of our nation
• There's a lot of fatherhood talk, but we try to remember the sons' perspectives as well
• We share unpartisan thoughts about the messy and broken current political system
• We discuss the two different young actors in this movie who died way too early in real life
• And more than anything we just want Americans to be united under a set of shared fundamental principles once again

Happy Independence Day, be safe and be free!

For this episode, we try a new type of discussion. After hearing that movies are built on a triangle of art, technology, and business, and that each side impacts the others, we wanted to put that to the test. We invite entrepreneur and old friend of the show Christian to bring the Business angle, while Dustin and Jake champion Art and Tech respectively. There's a lot of pros and cons weighed, and a lot of devil's advocacy against ourselves as well. Definitely a fun and interesting time, and a bigger concept than we had time to completely tackle so let us know what points we missed and we'll continue the conversation in the comments!

Before that, the guys give spoiler free first impressions on new stuff they've been watching. Dustin saw Mountainhead. Jake watched Under the Banner of Heaven. Christian is deep into How I Met Your Mother. Then all three discuss a fantastic new short film from Harry Waldman called Enter the Room. Currently in festivals but should be making its way online around the end of this year. Check it out on Letterboxd and IMDb

This episode gets crazy quickly, as one of us took this assignment very seriously and the other... not so much. We to talk about some of the worst film fathers ever put on screen. We also have a ton of new movies to share first impressions: Dustin watched Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Thunderbolts*, Heart Eyes, The Four Seasons, Missing, In a Violent Nature, and YOU (Season 1). While Jake gives his impressions of Black Mirror Season 7, Severance Season 2, Fear Street: Prom Queen, Juror #2, Another Simple Favor, and lots of Keanu with Ana De Armas in Exposed and Knock Knock... plus the Wick is Pain documentary. And the Movie Draft has a major lead change. Oh, and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! If bad dads aren't your thing, check out our Top 10: Favorite Film Fathers episode from the past as well.

John Wick holds such a special place in our hearts, that it's incredible to look back and realize it came so close to never happening so many times. This episode we thank Keanu Reeves for his dedication and for saving and transforming action movies not once, but TWICE! We dive deep into spoilers of all four movies, and try to emphasize the lore and meanings of each character in this high-fantasy world with gritty, real world violence. We also get deep into all the characters and why they work so well, not just because of how they're portrayed, but their deeper mythological meanings as well. And finally, we speculate about the future of this rich world and spinoffs and a confirmed 5th movie abound. We definitely look forward to Ballerina, Caine, and Chapter 5 whatever it ends up being, and despite any fears, have total faith in the creators (as long as they stay attached).
