Return of the King: Brennan DID Read the Books!

Dec 07 2024 240 mins

Hark, Void! Middle-Earth's 007, Gamgee, Samwise Gamgee, saves the world from ring-obsessed Gollum while Frodo staggers into danger constantly. Literally, Elrond will only let Arwen marry Aragorn AFTER he's defeated ultimate evil in the world. Now THAT'S a father-in-law. ORCS HAVE NAMES TOO!! And feelings! No one hates orcs more than other orcs! Aragorn runs like a Muppet, Gandalf a

The Two Towers: Pippin Gains Situational Awareness

Dec 01 2024 160 mins

Hello, Void! We're back this week feeling fresh and wriggling as a new-caught fish. Or maybe a child throwing a tantrum. We debate the effects of magic in Tolkein's world, where the ent-wives have gone, and Gollum/Smeagol's ring motivations. We learn even more about Middle Earth as we venture into the wilds: oliphaunts are elephants with more tusks, dwarf women have beards, and the

The Fellowship of the Ring: STILL NO RAILINGS

Nov 23 2024 215 mins

The world has changed - Erin and Brennan can "podcast" now, they've had time to think on what to say next, and Brennan has FINALLY read the books. This means we spent 4 hours talking about everything, anything, and all the stuff you didn't need to know. Erin salutes Boromir for his heroism, Brennan is reading the Silmarilion and knows more than he should, and there is the attack of

V for Vendetta: A Timely Film

Nov 08 2024 152 mins

Voila!Erin and Brennan violently clash with this week's vexing political tragedy and turn to a vaudevillian veteran in a Guy Fox mask for solutions for voracity. Blood, bombs, and Shakespeare with a verbose soundtrack to boot! We have John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Natalie Portman, Stephen Rea, and Hugo Weaving all being the epic actors that they are in this 1984 inspired story of "V" van

Young Frankenstein: A Look Back

Nov 01 2024 104 mins

Happy Samhain, Void! While Erin is reveling on the other side of the world, I'm in my apartment eating chocolates and making yummy sounds. Again, there is no new episode this week, but fret not, for we bring you one of our favorite films EVER! Sorry for just quoting the whole thing, but if you haven't seen it, we can think of nothing better for Halloween. From both of us, Happy Hal

Twilight: A Look Back

Oct 25 2024 101 mins

Hi. Void. How are you. I was going for emotionless blah, and I think I did it! Anyways, we are still on break this week, but we bring you one of our favorite recordings about vampires, Twilight. Be prepared for bad dialog and our hosts mocking them at every turn. Enjoy!

Phantom of the Opera: A Look Back

Oct 18 2024 140 mins

Hello Void! This week we're not uploading a new episode, instead we're looking back at the romance story of an obsessive, creepy old guy using magic tricks to seduce an underage singer in the Paris opera. Awwwww, how lovely. Or gross. We'll leave that to you to decide. Happy Spooky Season!!!

Ghostbusters: Afterlife: Symmetrical: Book: Stacking!!

Oct 13 2024 131 mins

Happy spooky season! After 40 years, we are resurrecting Ghostbusters, but not the original, nor all the sequels and remakes that followed, but Afterlife, the sequel not-sequel remake-yet-not-remake sequel. We have a kid named Podcast, marshmallows with sado-masochistic tendencies, and Paul Rudd with a flower in his hair. At least we have confirmation that Gozer the Gozerian has AL

Zodiac: A Fun Bay Area Story for the Family ;)

Oct 05 2024 153 mins

This week Erin and Brennan try their hands at solving the Zodiac murders and they totally nail it. How did it take so long for those pigs to figure it out? It was Lee, duh! Or Rick, maybe Vaughn, but probably Paul Avery. What a @&$#. Meanwhile, Erin tries to make a point by singing "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel while a baby gets thrown out a window. It's fun! At the same time

Bourne Ultimatum: Jason Loves a Roof

Sep 29 2024 117 mins

Welcome, Void to our conclusion of the Bourne trilogy (we are NOT counting those other two). This week we scratch our brains about how and when this film fits in with the previous one, CCTV finally gets its day and it's 98% useless, and the shakiest of cameras. It takes special skill to get motion sickness from camera work. Look at what they make you give! Despite some confusion, w
