Join Ethan Hawkes and Mike Trujillo as they watch two halves of the same movie and try to piece it all together. Sometimes we learn about filmmaking, but most of the time we learn about ourselves. Have a suggestion for a movie? Email us at [email protected].

Spencer

Mar 12 2025 111 mins

Women's History Month continues with Spencer and a special guest, Lindsay! Lindsay is an expert on all things related to the royal monarchy and teaches these two knuckleheads (mostly Ethan) a thing or two about what Princess Diana was going through when she lived with the royal family. The royal family is different from British aristocrats, if you didn't know! This is from the same

Jackie

Mar 05 2025 65 mins

Happy Women's History Month! We watched Jackie in honor of it and will be watching other movies with powerful women with one-name titles throughout the month. But this movie stars Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy during the worst moments of her life, the JFK assassination. It shines a light on how absolutely awful it is to lose your husband and how it's even more horrific if he's

Bonus: Oscar Nominations 2025 Talk + Store Launch!

Feb 28 2025 71 mins

Now that we've seen (basically) all of the Oscar-nominated best picture movies, it's time to talk about our predictions and rank our favorites! It was a weird year. Maybe one of the most controversial Oscars in years. We also launched a new merch store where you can buy all of Mike's incredible posters for sale!

A Complete Unknown

Feb 26 2025 78 mins

We wrap up the Oscar season with A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic! Let's see how Timmy C and our friend James Mangold, who directed some previous podcast movies like Kate and Leopold and Indiana Jonas and the Dial of Destiny, can bring the musical enigma to life. Set when Dylan decided to break out on the scene and go electric, this follows his encounters with various music

I'm Still Here

Feb 19 2025 87 mins

Thanks to movie studios not releasing their movies on VOD, I'm Still Here is our first carcast this Oscar season! I'm Still Here is set in Brazil under the 1970s dictatorship, where a wife must find out what happened to her husband while maintaining a healthy family life. I don't want to reveal more details because hearing us discover what's happening and what the movie is truly ab

Conclave

Feb 12 2025 78 mins

Conclave shines a light on the process of choosing a new Pope. Just like Oscar voting, it's a mysterious and grueling process full of politicking, even in the house of God. We follow Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) as he tries to run the whole process and keep the entire catholic church from going down a path of bigotry and cruelty. Directed by Edward Berger who did All Quiet on the Weste

Emilia Pérez

Feb 05 2025 69 mins

It's Oscar season baby!! We recorded this before we knew the nominations, but we can bet this movie will be there. For some reason. This is a weird one. Neither of us knew exactly what it was and we were both shocked when we figured out exactly what this movie was. If you never heard of it, do yourself a favor and listen to our podcast. Somehow, Emilia Pérez finds a way to offend

Uncle Buck

Jan 29 2025 63 mins

John Hughes has been hit or miss for us on this podcast, but we're watching another one of his classic movies, Uncle Buck! John Candy stars in the titular role and is here to cause a reasonable amount of havoc. He means well, but darn if he isn't so destructive, loud, and basically a cartoon character. He and his niece butt heads a lot, but who can blame any high schooler for being

Demolition Man

Jan 22 2025 71 mins

Demolition Man is a classic movie that we've somehow missed. Surprisingly, none of the many explosions in this movie were triggered by the famous Taco Bell featured in the film. Stallone and Snipes face off in the future, where "crime" has been eradicated and peace prospers. But at what cost if you can't have salt!?

Space Truckers

Jan 15 2025 69 mins

Is Space Truckers a cheesy space romp with awful special effects and cornball dialogue? Roger that. Dennis Hopper stars in a movie about a space trucker who has to take a mysterious shipment to Earth but gets captured by pirates! Shenanigans ensue, including square pigs, scrotums on robots, and wang pulses. It's a riot! Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further p
