  • Nickel Boys
    Dec 31 2025

    We close out another volume of the podcast with a divisive look at the harrowing 'niche indie movie'/Oscar nominee, Nickel Boys. We have a spirited debate about the effectiveness of the First Person POV filmmaking and a not-so-spirited look ahead at what we might be podcasting about next.

    Dec 24 2025

    What? You came for the three-way? Well it's time for you to learn a little something about delayed gratification... and far more than you ever wanted to know about tennis. It's a spicy one and we wouldn't have it any other way.


    Plus 10 second review of Wake Up Dead Man!

    Dec 15 2025

    No need for an episode guide, because we've got you covered on how to understand a metaphor, what happened in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and how deeply broken our brains are when it comes to thinking about the logistics of television production.

  • Godzilla Minus One
    Dec 10 2025

    A lizard this big demands special treatment so Matt hopped in a train to admire Ben's premium Godzilla box-set in person. We're talking kaijus. We're talking Academy Awards. We're talking Gokaiger. And we're of course talking Science, B!tch.

  • Strange Darling
    Dec 3 2025

    Matt once again tries a movie Ben has never seen before and it can't really go much worse than 'The Harder They Fall'... right??? Tune your radios to Big Foot Stories, cook the most unholy meal imaginable and let's negotiate the terms of this encounter, shall we?


    (The Arrested Development trivia Matt was thinking of is that Michael Cera and Liza Minelli never shared a scene so in Season 4, George Michael claims "I don't know the woman.")

  • The Taste of Things
    Nov 26 2025

    Demonstrating why they don't generally record at night, Ben & Matt have gone pretty insane in this episode as they give the world's worst descriptions of Cannes and how to eat Ortolans. Whatever, man, I got hungry just writing the caption.

    Nov 12 2025

    For the first time in the history of the podcast Matt took zero notes and tried to match Ben's 'off the dome' acumen... and he simply could not have picked a worse episode given the various twists and turns at play in this Korean detective tale. Open up your translator apps, takes some voice notes on your smart watch and lets climb the expert route of podcasting together.
