Who knew that this movie was this awesome? Brian. That's who.

You may have remembered liking this movie. You may remember thinking it was 'good', or that you liked it. But what you don't remember was how absolutely amazing and wonderful this entire production and experience was. This easily moved into my top 10 all time favorite movies. Watch. This. Movie.

Neil, Brian and Pete have started using a new system to pick a movie for the episode. We each put names of two movies into a hat and pick one live. Neil won round one with one of his selections. If you have heard of the movie Shallow Grave before you must have worked at a blockbuster. A young Ewan McGreggor movie filmed in Scotland about three roommates who collective make decisions that have downstream consequences. Hijinks ensue!!!

Wait.... did Neil change his voice? No, silly. It's our friend David who dropped by to hang out and watch the Val Kilmer epic Top Secret (which Brian has been harassing Pete for months to watch). It's a throwback to time when movies didn't need much to get green-lit. A time when no one cared about plot holes. A time when the leading actors didn't need to know what was going on or why they were on set or in any particular scene.

ahhhh.... the good ol' days.

So we blanked out and watched Blankman! The hero origin story of epic proportions co-staring a young Robin Givens just a few years after her dream-like marriage to one Mike Tyson. Neil and I were 'worried' as per usual but I have to say that this time Brian delivered a GEM!

Let's go to the swamp! We watched Swamp Thing! conflicted? Yes, Entertained? Absolutely. A Good movie? wellllllll..... at least we were entertained. Brian Chose this one because of his love of all things swampy and Swamp Thing did not disappoint!

thank you Neil for this pallet cleanser! We had to pay attention for the entire movie this time because.... subtitlesb but it was fun! Both Brian and Pete had never seen this former Sundance Movie Festival winner from 1993 and it's $7K production cost and boy did we miss out! If you have not seen this movie you should. Is it a 'great film', no. Are you rooting for it anyways? Yes, yes you are.

I had no idea this movie existed. Brian brought this one to the plate and thought it would be a great idea if Neil and I had our kids watch it with us for the first time. It was an experience to say the least! Our kids had some very strong opinions about it and couldn't wait to share with you.
