    The Truman Show
    Apr 9 2026
    Paul and Amy step inside The Truman Show, the high-concept classic that turned reality into a cage and a spectacle. They revisit Peter Weir’s deft balancing act of satire and sincerity, and how Jim Carrey’s career-shifting performance grounds the film’s big ideas in something deeply human.

    Team America: World Police

    Paul and Amy salute (and side-eye) Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s anything-goes puppet satire that took aim at everyone in the post-9/11 era. They unpack the film’s wild blend of Thunderbirds-style craftsmanship and Jerry Bruckheimer bombast, from its rapid-fire production to the army of puppeteers behind its explosive set pieces and yes, they discuss that infamous sex scene that pushed the MPAA to its limits.

    Arrival
    Mar 26 2026
    Paul and Amy make first contact with Denis Villeneuve’s quietly mind-bending sci-fi about language, time, and the choices that shape a life. They trace the film’s journey from Ted Chiang’s Story of Your Life to the screen, unpacking how screenwriter Eric Heisserer turned a cerebral short story into a $200M hit and why Amy Adams’ performance still feels criminally underrated a decade later.

I love listening to Paul and Amy really dig into movies. I recently discovered the podcast and am now about 50 episodes in. I was truly excited that they continued beyond the AFI 100 and can't wait to see how the format changes. They are somewhat pedantic at times and get on their soapboxes but, honestly, that's what I come for. A discussion with friends about movies, not something sterile and bland. I want crazy opinions and weird thoughts and tangents connecting to other movies. Even the silly suppositions and rumors and conspiracy theories about old Hollywood.

Paul and Amy break it down

Overly long, very slow starts so expect to skip a bunch before they actually get to talking about the films. Tried a few, last one I had to skip about 17 minutes before they really talked about the film.

Expected analysis, break downs, or something other than them just a lot of them saying "oh I liked this part".

Their "takes" come off as very amateurish which is weird because I know they know a lot about film. It's just weird when they say something that makes you wonder if they even saw the film.

Total meh.
