In this spinoff of Rock of Ages, Romi invites a few friends to watch movies with her and talk about stuff. It’s like Rifftrax but for theater/meme kids, and more prone to tangents than you might think. New episodes intermittently. Note: You'll need to find your own way to watch the movies we're watching. Synching instructions are within the episodes themselves.

64. It’s a Wonderful Life (Frank Capra)

Dec 16 2023 143 mins

I’ve wanted to do this movie ever since I started Watch This two years ago, and now seems like a good time to finally bring it out. Chances are most of you are more familiar with the countless movies and TV shows that ripped off its plot. But this movie is worth watching not only to see the root of this common trope, but because its message of appreciating life is important and u

63. Free Birds (Jimmy Hayward)

Nov 16 2023 94 mins

Remember back in the Humans episode where I promised we’d do this episode next Thanksgiving? Well that time is now and we’re finally doing Free Birds! This movie took the Internet by storm around this time last year thanks to the efforts of the Schaffgang. And why wouldn’t it? It’s about going back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu! That’s righ

62. The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (Des McAnuff)

Sep 04 2023 98 mins

Hokey smoke, it’s the second of two reunion episodes for the summer! If you’ve followed us closely enough you’ll remember this being my original birthday pick for this year, before a tragic event involving Schaffrillas Productions caused me to rethink doing the campy Y2K-era comedy. But with that long behind us, I thought I’d bring it out again, as a tribute to how far the

61. Teen Beach Movie (Jeffrey Hornaday)

Aug 23 2023 104 mins

We’re back for a few more episodes this year! And for this first reunion episode we’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’ with Teen Beach Movie, the infectious Disney Channel musical comedy about two surfers who end up inside another beach musical. Along the way, we catch you up on what we’ve been up to between the Fabelmans and now. Cowabunga! Also sorry if I sound a little quiet t

60. The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg)

Apr 29 2023 159 mins

This episode is dedicated with love to everyone who listened to us and supported us over the past year-and-a-half. Your support is legendary and we wish you all the best. As much as it pains me to say this, this will be the final Watch This for the time being, due to availability concerns and other issues. So instead of Climax, I thought it’d be nice to end our time together on a

ENCORE: The Mitchells Vs. The Machines (Michael Rianda)

Mar 05 2023 109 mins

Original episode airdate: January 30, 2022 Sorry for no new episode this week, but without revealing too much, Watch This is essentially running on fumes harder than it ever has before. As we prepare for a turnover in personnel, we're dialing it back to a happier time, where as many as four weirdoes could carry a conversation, and four other weirdoes and a dog could kick ass and ta

59. Lake Michigan Monster (Ryland Brickson Cole Tews)

Feb 27 2023 83 mins

This episode is dedicated to the resilience of the Schaffgang (Schaffrillas Productions’ inner circle), and to the memories of Chris Schaffer and Patrick Phryllas, two of its founding members, whose humor and heart were instrumental in the development of the Schaffrillas brand. The entire gang was responsible for greater awareness of this little-seen gem that expertly pays homage

58. 20th Century Women (Mike Mills)

Feb 20 2023 124 mins

My second annual birthday episode has arrived, absurdly late due to circumstances beyond our control. But it’s here, and that’s all that matters. Furthermore, due to an unforeseen personal upheaval that affected all of us, I decided maybe we shouldn’t do Rocky and Bullwinkle (which was my original birthday pick) at this point, so instead we’re looking at 20th Century Women,

57. The Trotsky (Jacob Tierney)

Jan 19 2023 114 mins

This week we’re watching a gem of a movie starring Jay Baruchel as Leon Trotsky. Sort of. He’s playing a guy who believes that he’s the reincarnation of Leon Trotsky and seeks to replicate every facet of the socialist revolutionary’s life. He starts a revolution among his fellow students and falls in love with an older woman named Alexandra. Meanwhile we’re out here talki

56. Top Gun (Tony Scott)

Jan 14 2023 116 mins

We’re heading to the Danger Zone with Top Gun, one of the most iconic movies of the 80s. It boasts a top-tier cast, a stellar soundtrack and some impressive effects for the era, not to mention a fairly recent sequel that pretty much everyone’s heard about by now. Let’s fly high with a Forced Family Fun Night! (We'll explain the context of that saying in the episode.) Intro so
