Episode 71: Anaconda

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Amazon rainforest, your favorite killer snake returns in Jack Black and Paul Rudd’s updated version of the classic Anaconda. Tina hoped this new take on the franchise might hold some promise and might even be interesting. Instead, she was just angry the entire time. On the other hand, Stratis was entertained for at least the first third, but then started to want his money back by the end. At least he really enjoyed Jack Black’s acting. We end the episode by doing a quick recap of 2025 films, and Stratis tries to remember anything about what he saw. Happy almost awards season!

Episode 70: Avatar: Fire and Ash

It’s that time again when we all come together as a nation to watch blue people fight off yet another invasion. It’s James Cameron’s latest installment of Avatar: Fire and Ash. We’re such Avatar fans that we should just declare this a national holiday - insert heavy, heavy sarcastic quote here. Stratis decides to give James notes on how he should use his 3D film fascination for something with a better story and Tina professes her loyalty to the blue fire girl. Just keep this in mind, “Your Goddess has no dominion here!”

Episode 69: Song Sung Blue

This week we took a trip back to Wisconsin in the late ’80s and met up with the locally famous Neil Diamond tribute (or should we say interpretive) band Thunder and Lightning. The title sequence says this is based on a true story, but it feels like an over-the-top Hollywood portrait that’s a bit too loose with the facts. Tina learns that she isn’t much of a fan of Neil’s music and Stratis doesn’t give Hugh Jackman a lot of love as the lead singer. We both thought Kate Hudson’s portrayal was wonderful and that perhaps the movie should have focused on her instead. If you’d like to roadtrip to the Badger State, hop in! We promise not to drive into anyone’s living room.
