It’s our fa-la-la-la-la la-la la-last episode of the year and we’re going back on the Griswold Family Vacation Train to finally have Johnny witness a good old family tradition of a movie, whether he wants to or not. But Johnny tells us about his journeys through Oz from Great And Powerful to Wicked Part One, and Andrew has finally, finally, seen Memoir Of A Snail and gets to talk a little sad-sack stop-motion before the festive spirit takes flight for good.
297 - WHY HIM?
It’s Christmastime, we’re sitting in the world of Bryan Cranston comedy, and talking the problematic Franco brother. We’re also dragging in Paddington In Peru, GladIIator, Red One, an Irish filum with Paul Reiser and the Steve Martin Pink Panther movies, which turn out to be relevant to the feature presentation. If you’re looking for a slight dive into Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels, then this episode is for you and you alone.
223 - SOUL
The new Pixar pic brings the joys of death, existential dread and meaninglessness to children! Johnny has waited to watch this for the podcast, but Andrew has taken a trip through the soul already, what will be the end result, and will anything matter after all of this? Happy 2021!
221 - WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
The final film of 2020 is a Spike Jonze family picture, adapted from a short picture book, somehow featuring arm rips and throwing friends into other friends. What a perfect film to remind you of the mayhem of Christmas past, as we sit alone in our pandemic world, feeling every emotion and waiting for something good to come. Max and the Wild Things are 2020, and Andrew and Johnny and friends Jim Broadbent and Paul Giamatti ease the Christmas fear for another season.
BONUS - LAST CHRISTMAS COMMENTARY
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hope you’re ready to lose Whamageddon, because we’re watching the Paul Feig movie based on a George Michael (and Wham) song with a twist you definitely will see coming. Andrew and Johnny sit down to appreciate Christmas in London, a film that’s better than one would imagine, and play trivia games for the festive season.
Come watch along with us.
ALSO IN 25FPS FOR SKY MOVIES!
169 - CATS
Johnny’s most anticipated film of Winter becomes Andrew’s most feared trip to the cinema. Tom Hooper’s adaptation of the acclaimed (?) musical where James Corden plays a cat, and the world must be destroyed. Some Star Wars talk, if you are avoiding such.
168 - A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS
Tis the season to be 3D, fa-la-la-la-la la-la la-la!
Andrew discusses the importance of Wafflebot, and 3D cinema, in the Christmas experience and Johnny finishes off his run of Harold & Kumar adventures in the most festive way possible.
019 - CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL
Singing, violence, South Park. It's the Christmas episode and we're as vulgar and odd as anything. Merry holiday days!
