Pop the champagne and power up your robotic animal avatars, because we are officially in double digits!

This week, The Filmlosophers kick off their monumental 10th season as Hosts Eddie and Spencer welcome back the legendary Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy. The trio heads into the wilderness to tackle the surprisingly wild first Pixar film of the year, Hoppers. The crew shares their unfiltered thoughts on the bizarrely delightful premise of Mabel transferring her consciousness into an animatronic beaver, praises Bobby Moynihan's lovable King George, and debates whether Jon Hamm's greedy Mayor Jerry Generazzo is the most hilariously unhinged animated villain we've had in years.

But before they safely hop back into their human bodies, the studio gets a little sentimental as the team takes a heartfelt detour down memory lane. Celebrating the dawn of Season 10, Eddie, Spencer, and Amy reflect on a full decade of cinematic hot takes, studio shenanigans, and unforgettable reviews. They discuss how far the show has come, tease some exciting new directions for the future, and, most importantly, take a moment to deeply thank the incredible listeners who have supported them along the way. Whether you've been listening since the very first mic check or just joined the community, this milestone is entirely dedicated to you.

It's an episode full of Pixar ponderings, nostalgic reflections, and a whole lot of gratitude.

Insert coin and press start, because the original trio is back in the game! This week, The Filmlosophers are fully reunited as Hosts Eddie and Spencer welcome back the legendary Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy to the studio. Together, they dive into the neon-soaked chaos of Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. The crew unpacks the manic energy of Sam Rockwell, debates whether Verbinski has crafted another weird masterpiece or just a beautiful mess, and decides if this high-octane ride is the ultimate love letter to sci-fi satire or just a fever dream with a budget.

But before even the credits start, the competition heats up in the studio. Since the OG crew is back together, there's no better time for a showdown. Eddie takes the reins as game master, pitting Amy against Spencer in a brutal round of "Bad Logline Theater." The two face off to identify famous films based on the most poorly written, confusing, and hilariously vague descriptions the internet has to offer. It's a battle of wits, movie trivia, and wildly incorrect guesses as they try to decipher which cinematic classic is being butchered.

It's an episode full of cinematic chaos, Rockwellian charm, and logline lunacy. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's "timey-wimey" episode of The Filmlosophers!

Take a deep breath, because we're diving into a literal ocean of blood. This week, The Filmlosophers trade the podcast studio for a rusting, claustrophobic submarine to tackle one of the most unconventional video game adaptations yet. Hosts Eddie and Spencer, joined by Intern Sarah, plunge into the murky depths of Iron Lung, the highly anticipated feature film from YouTube titan Markiplier. The crew unpacks the visceral dread of navigating a doomed alien moon, debates whether the transition from let's-play tension to big-screen terror holds water, and shares their breathless reactions to the movie's relentless, pressure-cooker atmosphere.

Once they finally resurface and gasp for air, the conversation pivots to a massive new topic handed down by Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy. The team sets out to define the sweeping, boundless world of the "animated epic." The studio heats up as they try to nail down exactly what elevates an animated film into the realm of the truly epic, debating scale, emotional stakes, and whether the grand, ambitious animated masterpieces of the 1990s still reign supreme over today's sprawling digital sagas.

It's an episode full of deep-sea dread, digital creator debuts, and animated arguments. So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's "bloody ocean" of an episode of The Filmlosophers!

This week, The Filmlosophers return to the wasteland for their first big review of the year, diving into the brutal and long-awaited expansion of the "Rage" universe. Hosts Eddie and Spencer, along with Intern Sarah, tackle the high-stakes intensity of Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. The crew provides their unfiltered and breathless thoughts on whether DaCosta's stylistic flair successfully reanimates the franchise, the terrifying implications of the "Bone Temple" itself, and if this legacy sequel actually justifies its two-decade wait or if the series has finally run out of blood.

Once they navigate the infested streets of post-apocalyptic Britain, the team shifts gears to discuss the most anticipated cinematic trends and "philosophy-worthy" releases slated for the coming year. While the group finds common ground on the return of practical effects and the rise of folk-horror, the studio vibes get tense when Sarah takes the mic. She delivers a startlingly detailed and wildly controversial defense for why the hyper-sprinting infected aren't actually "zombies" at all, but are instead a misunderstood evolution of humanity that we should probably stop hitting with pipes.

It's an episode full of apocalyptic adrenaline, directorial debates, and infected insights.

So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's "bone-tastic" episode of The Filmlosophers!

Roll up your sleeves and grab a big bowl of "Brain Grain," because The Filmlosophers are traveling back to the prehistoric era of... 1993! In the second installment of their "Reel Rewinds" mini-series, Hosts Eddie and Spencer, along with Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, unearth a fossil of animated nostalgia: We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story.

The crew dissects the other dinosaur movie Steven Spielberg produced that year, exploring how a film about T-Rexes playing golf and eating hot dogs in New York City stacks up against its prehistoric peers. They discuss the surprisingly dark tone of the villainous Professor Screweyes, the fever-dream animation style, and whether this Amblimation classic is a misunderstood masterpiece or a relic that should have stayed extinct.

Does We're Back! still roar with charm, or is it just a lot of prehistoric noise? Tune in as we find out if these dinosaurs are truly welcome back!

Happy New Year, Filmlosophers! We are kicking off 2026 with high energy and even higher hijinks! Hosts Eddie and Spencer, joined by Intern Manager (and Managing Intern) Amy, are launching a brand-new mini-series to start the year: "Reel Rewinds!" To celebrate, the crew is traveling back 30 years to check into the majestic Majestic Hotel for a nostalgic look at the 1996 kids' classic, Dunston Checks In.

The team dives deep into this chaotic gem starring Jason Alexander, Faye Dunaway, and a jewel-thieving orangutan. They discuss why this specific brand of animal-centric slapstick is a lost art, the surprising practical effects, and the hilarious (and slightly uncomfortable) reality that a movie about a primate terrorizing a luxury hotel would have a very tough time getting greenlit today.

Does the movie still hold the key to our hearts, or should it have stayed in the lost-and-found? Grab your room service and join The Filmlosophers for a wild start to the new year!

It's the final curtain call of 2025, and The Filmlosophers are going out with a bang! The entire crew is in the house for this massive New Year's Eve celebration: Hosts Eddie and Spencer are joined by the full creative team, Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, and Intern Sarah, for a non-stop thrill ride of a year-in-review!

In this unbridled and chaotic special, the team breaks down the absolute highs, lows, and "huh?" moments of the cinematic year. They hand out their own unique awards based on The Filmlosophers' signature categories, including "Best Performance in a Movie," "Film with the Most 'Wait… WHAT?' Moment," and the tear-jerking "Most Surprisingly Emotional."

From blockbuster debates to indie darlings that stole our hearts, no film is safe from the crew's final verdict. Crack open the champagne (or sparkling cider) and join us as we toast to the movies that defined 2025 and look forward to what 2026 has in store.

Happy New Year from The Filmlosophers!

Deck the halls with boughs of... floating embers? This week, The Filmlosophers gather for a holiday episode that feels more like a fever dream than a silent night. Hosts Eddie and Spencer, joined by Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, attempt to navigate the dizzying spectacle of James Cameron's latest over-produced and over-complicated sci-fi epic, Avatar: Fire and Ash. The crew shares their full and genuinely confused thoughts on the volcanic "Ash People," the endless tech-specs, and whether Cameron has finally disappeared too far into his own motion-capture abyss.

Before they escape the fires of Pandora, the team settles in for a cozy (and slightly heated) conversation about the unconventional Christmas films that define their holidays. While the group finds common ground on the high-rise heroics of Die Hard and the animated emotional gut-punch of Tokyo Godfathers, the festive spirit hits a speed bump when Amy takes the mic. She meticulously lays out her bizarrely passionate case for why the PTSD-fueled, explosive journey of Tony Stark in Iron Man 3 is a quintessential Christmas movie that belongs alongside Rudolph and Frosty.

It's an episode full of holiday cheer, blockbuster bewilderment, and armor-plated arguments.

So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn and tinsel, and tune in to this week's special holiday episode of The Filmlosophers!
