Ep. 73 - Pig (2021)
Pig in a Cage? Cage with a pig? Cage loves a pig? What could a movie with homeless Santa Claus-esque Nick Cage and a pig really be about? Well, it's not what you think, nor was it what we thought it would be to our pleasant surprise. Our review of Pig (2021)

In March of 2021, we talked about two movies that have nothing to do with each other except they were first-time watches for each of us. Nancy picked a classic Richard Linklater film and I picked a sequel to a sci-fi classic with a kick-ass soundtrack.

In this episode, we explore two of Wes Anderson's tales of love and revenge, along with other fun and playful strangeness. Anderson's style begins to blossom in the battle for love between Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray in Rushmore (1998) and is at its peak almost 20 years later in The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). #wesanderson #rushmore #grandbudapesthotel #billmurray #maxfischer #kiteflyingsociety #ralphfiennes #lobbyboy

Ep 66 - Road House and Ghost
Patrick Swayze was a movie icon for our generation. This Valentine's Day we decided to show some love to the late actor by talking about two roles that defined his career, 1989's hard hitting Road House and the romance that created a new love for ceramics, 1990's Ghost.  #patrickswayze #ghost #roadhouse #demimoore #whoopi #whoopigoldberg #samelliot #hisnameisdalton #unchainedmelody #notrosieperezbrother #youindangergirl #wesley

Ep 65 - Willow and Big
"Size matters not" in these two fantasy movies. In 1988, Willow, a tale of a little person saving the world with his bravery and magic, and Big, the story of a boy wishing to be a man and trying to deal with growing up too fast, defy and explore the ups and downs of being the little guy and taking on responsibilities that seem larger than themselves. #willow #bigmovie #tomhanks #warwickdavis #valkilmer #lucasfilm #ronhoward #Madmartigan #iwishiwasbig #chopsticks #whowantstoplaywithabuilding #georgelucas #pennymarshall #peck #youreallpigs

Ep 64 - Airplane! and Office Space
What makes a comedy a classic? With so many different types of things that make us laugh, who's really one to be the judge? Well, we have microphones, so in this episode, we are. These two classics at one point or another made us laugh so hard you'd think we had a drinking problem. First we talk about the movie that laid the groundwork for what we call comedy, Airplane! (1980), and then we debate the inner workings and downright horrors of being in an office in Mike Judge's "9 to 5 turned Superman III" classic, Office Space (1999). #Airplane #OfficeSpace #michaelbolton #milton #mikejudge #leslienielson #surelyyoucantbeserious #mystapler #badcaseofthemondays #thebobs #wrongdayto #stopsniffingglue
