  • Brian’s Legendary Penis and the Bush: Stump Bumps and Other R-rated Revelations

    Brian’s Legendary Penis and the Bush: Stump Bumps and Other R-rated Revelations
    Dec 29 2025
    Welcome to a very merry and irreverent holiday episode of Trees in Space! This week, hosts Nate and Jason deck the podcast halls with the hilariously blasphemous classic, Monty Python’s Life of Brian. With Nate’s questionable history teacher VHS recommendations (don’t worry, he was 18—barely legal), and Jason’s newly shaven face (is there a colder mug in podcasting?), the duo bravely unwraps every absurd, politically incorrect, and surprisingly forward-thinking gag from the 1979 comedy.
    From aliens randomly abducting Brian mid-movie (seriously, why was that ship flying by?!), to the legendary “Biggest Dickus” and the eternal debate of gourd vs. sandal, they roast—sorry, “review”—everything that makes Life of Brian a perennial cult favorite and an unintentional Christmas movie (thanks, wrong address-wise men).
    Along the way, you’ll hear nostalgia, heated stump bumps (don’t ask, but somehow it involves nudity), and a smattering of serious hot takes about the film’s not-so-subtle jabs at religion, politics, and the many forms of human ridiculousness. If you’ve ever wondered why critiquing ancient Rome feels eerily familiar, or just want a good laugh courtesy of Monty Python’s holy chaos, get your holiday cheer (and maybe subtitles) ready! This episode is equal parts smart, silly, and satirical—and always looks on the bright side of life.

    Walter Matthau’s Nipples and Snow Angels: An Unlikely Holiday Classic Reviewed
    Dec 22 2025
    Hey everyone and welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where we dig into movies like we’re rooting around in the backyard for that lost frisbee. This week, Jason and Nate are putting on their thermal underwear, firing up their snowmobiles, and serving up audio-only, Midwestern warfare as they review the 1993 comedy classic Grumpy Old Men. What happens when two sarcastic, fish-gut-flinging old neighbors—armed with decades of petty pranks and an arsenal of snowmobiles—fall headlong into a geriatric love triangle with a new firecracker lady across the street?
    Well, it’s heaters-on-high, pride on ice, and more late-life romance than you can shake a fishing pole at! From miserable taxes, spicy casseroles, and epic ice fishing fails to the kind of friendly neighborhood rivalry that makes you simultaneously want to hug your neighbor and put a fish in his car, Jason and Nate break down the laughs, the cringe, and all the heartfelt moments. Is Grumpy Old Men a Christmas movie? Or just the kind of holiday gathering that involves more insults than hugs? And just how many trees (and stumps) does this frosty feud deserve? Tune in for a review so lively, it’ll melt the Minnesota ice—and maybe inspire you to call your crankiest relative. Stay with us for fan feedback, critic grumbles, and the legendary Pops with the best (and worst) double entendres you’ve ever heard. So kick back, feed the algorithm monster, take a chance, and join us on Trees in Space for Grumpy Old Men—where the only thing colder than the weather is the neighborly sarcasm.

  • Rocky IV: Why You Should Never Be Friends with Rocky Balboa

    Rocky IV: Why You Should Never Be Friends with Rocky Balboa
    Dec 15 2025
    Welcome back to Trees in Space—the only podcast daring enough to watch Rocky IV through untrained, nostalgia-laced eyeballs, while arguing if a boxing movie set in Siberia counts as a Christmas classic. This week, hosts Nate and Jason take on the 1985 Cold War punchfest where hearts are broken, robots get waxed, and the US and USSR duke it out in the ring…on December 25th. Jason comes in swinging with all the reasons Rocky IV doesn’t really feel like a sports movie (spoiler: it's mostly montages and music videos), while Nate tries valiantly to explain what’s happening despite never having seen the first three Rocky's. Together, they attempt to piece together why Rocky needs to avenge Apollo Creed, debate whether dying makes Apollo a compelling character, and question the efficiency of the Dragos’ marriage techniques. From Paulie’s questionable robot obsession to the surprisingly patriotic boxing match that, according to one reviewer, might have single-handedly defeated communism, the duo breaks down everything that makes Rocky IV a beloved-but-bizarre holiday tradition. And yes, they're rating it with trees. So grab your VHS, lace up your gloves, and get ready for more hot takes than a Russian power punch—this is the Trees in Space show, where the only rule is: never be friends with Rocky if you value your survival. Let’s get ready to rumble!

  • Bullets and Christmas Trees: Lethal Weapon Survives the Holidays and Bathroom Boundaries

    Bullets and Christmas Trees: Lethal Weapon Survives the Holidays and Bathroom Boundaries
    Dec 8 2025
    Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where your favorite film-loving duo takes movies with trees (sometimes metaphorical, sometimes literal), flings them into the cinematic cosmos, and hacks through the underbrush of plot, character, and whatever else grows wild in 80s action flicks.

    This week, Jason and Nate tackle the 1987 classic Lethal Weapon—the movie that asks, "What if Christmas wasn't about presents and family, but instead about bullets, bad decisions, and Mel Gibson’s mullet?" The guys dig into whether Lethal Weapon is truly a Christmas movie or just Die Hard’s chaotic cousin, why the most awkward birthday in cinema involves a bathtub, and whether the infamous ‘stump bump’ means anything if there’s too much eggnog flying around.

    With explosive takes on everything from suspicious Christmas decorations to Danny Glover’s questionable running style, this episode promises action, nostalgia, and deep existential questions like, “Seriously, was that a Santa on the roof or just leftover pizza?” Plus, they weigh in on what the critics thought, what the fans thought, and more importantly—would they recommend it to their surgeon? (Spoiler: at least one stump is involved.) Get ready to laugh, reminisce, and possibly reevaluate your holiday movie playlist—Lethal Weapon is locked, loaded, and about to crash-land into your podcast feed!

  • Is Die Hard the Jolliest Action Movie or Just a Barefoot Guy Fighting Terrorists?

    Is Die Hard the Jolliest Action Movie or Just a Barefoot Guy Fighting Terrorists?
    Dec 1 2025
    Welcome to Trees in Space, where our fearless hosts Nate and Jason take movie debates to galactic levels—even if only one of them thinks Die Hard should orbit in the Christmas movie universe. In this episode, Nate admits to finally watching Die Hard from start to finish (yes, really), while Jason clings desperately to his "not a Christmas film" badge with the passion of a man who just stepped on Lego barefoot. Together, they dissect office party chaos, German terrorists with questionable shoe sizes, the mystery of disappearing bodies, and exactly how much blood you can lose before your shirt changes color entirely. From discussing whether John McClane’s magical vent-crawling skills are part of Santa’s canon to giving critical stump bumps for unexpected boobies, this episode asks: Is Die Hard overrated, too long, or just the right ratio of holiday carols and machine guns? Plus, they read out some gloriously unhinged internet reviews, compare Hans Gruber’s thievery to Schindler’s List mechanics, and finally—after much debate—agree that Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie, but definitely worthy of movie night with your surgeon. Tune in for action, snark, debates, and at least one host wishing a mild curse on whoever started the “Die Hard Is a Christmas Movie” tradition. It’s all here, in this week’s festive (but not too festive) episode of Trees in Space

  • Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels and One Epic Toilet: How Dumb Was Dumb and Dumber?

    Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels and One Epic Toilet: How Dumb Was Dumb and Dumber?
    Nov 24 2025
    Welcome back to Trees in Space—the only podcast where your movie opinions get the oxygen they deserve, and every genre is fair game! This week, Jason and Nate take us on an epic road trip down memory lane with the 1994 comedy classic “Dumb and Dumber.” Yes, the one with Jim Carrey sucking his thumb in a toilet stall, a briefcase full of cash, and more haircut disasters than a bargain barbershop. Jason and Nate try to squeeze every ounce of comedic lemon from this cult favorite, debating which guy is dumb and which guy is dumber (and finally settling it, for the sake of humanity). They reminisce over iconic moments—dead parakeets sold to blind kids, some creative uses for taco seasoning, and a cop with the worst luck in beverage selection. The duo also tackles legendary lines (“So you’re saying there’s a chance!”), questionable road trip logic (Aspen to Lincoln, anyone?), and hotel payment mysteries only the ’90s could provide. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’d recommend this movie to a surgeon (spoiler: please don’t), or how Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey got confused for each other in a one-star review, this is the episode for you. Buckle up for laughs, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of groan-worthy bathroom humor as the guys determine if “Dumb and Dumber” is worthy of an entire forest or just a lonely stump. Hit play and join Jason and Nate as they witness the madness, read the wildest reviews, and decide if this classic holds up—one stump at a time. 00:00 "Trees in Space: Dumb & Dumber"

  • Is Dream Scenario a nightmare, a bad dream, or just a Nicholas Cage movie?

    Is Dream Scenario a nightmare, a bad dream, or just a Nicholas Cage movie?
    Nov 17 2025
    Welcome back to Trees in Space! This week, Nate and Jason dive face-first into the absurd fever dream that is the 2023 film "Dream Scenario," starring the perpetually perplexed Nicolas Cage as a hapless family man who accidentally becomes the most unwanted viral sensation—by showing up in millions of strangers’ dreams, and not in a sexy way. Is it fantasy? Horror? Comedy? Drama? Or just proof that cinema sometimes likes to leave you with more questions than answers and a really awkward fart joke? Join our hosts as they unpack Cage’s transformation from invisible professor to dream-dwelling nightmare, debate whether social media cancel culture is scarier than the actual nightmares, and try to figure out if anyone—ANYONE—dreamed about barbecue. There’s talk of MacGuffins, accidental bodily explosions, random loogies on sandwiches, hammer-induced existential crises, and enough amateur psychoanalysis to make Freud spin in his grave. Listen in for their own delightfully chaotic hot takes, a fresh batch of weird and wonderful online reviews—including one listener who thinks the best part of the whole movie is Cage’s flatulence—and, of course, the world’s weirdest five-star ratings. Want closure, catharsis, or at least an explanation for what you just watched? Too bad! As Nate and Jason discover, Dream Scenario leaves you dangling in the wind…just like poor Nicolas Cage’s belt loop. So grab your popcorn (and maybe a therapist), and tune in for a guaranteed trip through cinematic confusion. It’s Trees in Space, where even bad movies get their moment in the spotlight—farts and all.

  • Teen Wolf’s House Parties, Irrelevant Plot, and Why No One in Town Cares

    Teen Wolf’s House Parties, Irrelevant Plot, and Why No One in Town Cares
    Nov 10 2025
    Welcome to another wild ride on Trees in Space! This week, your hosts Nate and Jason sink their teeth into the 1985 cult classic (or is it?) Teen Wolf, starring a young, pre-time-traveling Michael J. Fox. In this episode, they unravel the "plot"—if you can call it that—of a movie where a high schooler morphs into a werewolf with barely a whimper from anyone, basketball teams are inexplicably stacked with 30-year-olds, and the soundtrack is soaked in gloriously cheesy ‘80s synth. Nate and Jason tackle the questionable hijinks of whipped cream house parties, legendary irresponsible party kegs, and wardrobe decisions that would confuse even Madonna. They ask the important questions, like: Why is nobody shocked at a werewolf slam dunking buckets? Why is the love interest making out with everyone (in costume changes worthy of a Madonna concert)? Where the heck is the plot? And can merely swapping a word let you steal Spider-Man’s catchphrase? Packed with hilarious breakdowns, pointed listener reviews, and a firm refusal to recommend this movie to their surgeons, this episode is part nostalgia trip, part fashion nightmare, and part werewolf identity crisis. Whether you remember doing the Thriller dance at prom or just wonder what the heck movies got away with in the ‘80s, “Teen Wolf Audio Only” will have you howling with laughter—and maybe scratching your head at just how weirdly charming a cinematic trainwreck can be. Dive in for a full moon’s worth of fun!
