Episode 156: Phantom Thread

Daniel Day-Lewis stars in the "last" film of his career. I mean, what other skills does that guy have? Sure he could retire, but I feel like he'd make a great craft beer brewer.

Episode 154: Lady Bird

You'd think this movie would be some mumblecore indie movie, but somehow it transcends the mumblecore parts of itself and becomes something both these boys really loved.

Episode 146: Office Christmas Party

Things that make Mike mad: The font Arial, boring characters you don't care about, a terrible and predictable plot, jokes that don't land or have a payoff, jokes about people getting drugged. Turns o…

Episode 145: 8 Women

For some reason, the title of this movie reminds me of little women. Nope, it's not like the movie at all. Even if it were in English, this weird blend of musical, Christmas murder is unlike anything…

Episode 144: Body of Evidence

I mean, there's a WHOLE body of evidence. This court case should be pretty easy to figure out? Right? Maybe Madonna can help.. oh she's one of the suspects. Well, the Dafoe is on the case! Wait he's …

Episode 141: Every Which Way But Loose

You'd think growing up in Bakersfield would warm Mike up to this movie, but instead, it did the opposite. It also didn't help that almost all of his half took place East of his hometown. Regardless c…

Episode 140: Up in the Air
