Movies N Sh*t

Our latest offering opens with a favorite Graham Greene clip, GoldenEye information, Roddenberry information, and other fun tidbits before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (14:48), TV Talk (1:15:10), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (1:38:50). Then it’s time for an 80s fantasy classic installment of “Not Like This, Christopher Nolan” (1:55:40), before Patrick absolutely crushes another What Year Did That Come Out Again? (2:00:34), takes a decent swing at Tomato Talk (2:01:56), and nails a quick installment of the Action Movie Trivia Card game (2:05:05). All that, plus another Hidden Gem recommendation (2:06:36) before we say goodbye until next time. Episode highlights include a discussion about superheroes, Jurassic sequels, what Star Wars and Star Trek and other franchises were and are and will become, mid-budget movies, fear-based Hollywood, strategies for answering your Letterboxd Top Four rankings, the downside of meta and self-parody, confusingly similar movie titles, soft boys, the magnificence of Jamie Lee Curtis, and a blink and you’ll miss it UPS delivery.

Hello, boys (and girls)! We're ba-aaaaaaaack!!It's time to kick the tires and light the fires, big daddies (and mommies)!

So strap in for the greatest, most patriotic alien invasion movie of all time, with the greatest on-screen presidential speech of all time, just in time for Independence Day.

Press play and we can guarantee your next 2+ hours will be really exciting. And yes, that's exactly the word we'd choose to describe it.Happy listening! Happy Independence Day! And remember -- All you need is love. John Lennon. Smart man. Shot in the back, very sad. Peace!

Today's pod begins with a heartfelt tribute to Val Kilmer... so heartfelt that the fellas convince themselves that Batman Forever and Red Planet are good movies! (Come at us, bros!) We discuss a few other tidbits before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (29:35), TV Talk (1:11:46), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (1:18:57). Then it’s time for the first installment of “Not Like This, Christopher Nolan” (1:39:35) since episode 66, along with brand new installments of What Year Did That Come Out Again? (1:45:27), Tomato Talk (1:50:35) and the latest installment of Action Movie Trivia Game (1:55:27)! Finally, your special Val Kilmer Hidden Gem recommendation is provided by Patrick at 1:57:53. Episode highlights include a discussion about IKEA meatballs, film formats, how we feel about the things we haven't seen compared to the things you haven't seen, a gut-wrenching deleted scene from Mrs. Doubtfire, a fun fact about lighters in the movies and real life of the 1930s, as well as the featured sounds of Kelly killing bugs and stoking fires. Big shout-out to Executive VP, Worldwide Production for Lionsgate Television, and Goldsboro, NC native, Joel Meyer on your recent promotion. Well deserved!

Ya know, someone once told us that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. Whether you side with Dr. (not Dark Lord) Soren or rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because it will never come again, we rather believe that it is high time for our first Movies N Sh*t TV episode commentary. And what better television episode to begin with than Trek fan favorite, Yesterday's Enterprise. So get comfy and listen as your favorite podsmiths watch arguably the best of hundreds, maybe thousands, of Star Trek time travel stories. And the only one to feature Shooter McGavin. As a special bonus, you'll be transported back in time to receive a little history of both Kelly's and Patrick's introductions to the franchise. We promise you'll have a wonderful time (see what we did) joining us as we journey to where no man, or at least Kelly and Patrick, have gone before.

Episode 68 begins with a little secret, a little Lynch talk, a little fire talk, a little seat talk, and a little move-based musical talk before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (at sort of 18:54, but really 20:02), TV Talk (1:21:03), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (1:35:04). Then it’s time for another installment of What Year Did That Come Out Again? at 1:45:42 and a special David Lynch edition of Tomato Talk at 1:50:56. Finally, at 1:54:12, podsmith Patrick provides a Hidden Gem recommendation for your viewing pleasure. Episode highlights include our adoration for Vidiots, a discussion about what makes acting impressive, age inappropriate historical epics, unlikely Christmas movies, covers superior to original songs, what James Mangold does well, asexual male comradery, Kelly's updated Star Wars sequel trilogy rankings and Patrick's impassioned response, AppleTV's unsettling visual aesthetic and the unsettling visual aesthetic of Brett Goldstein's unshaven face (we love his bearded look, for the record), when it's okay to tinker with a finished film, the superiority of the original Alien movie, excitement about the latest take on Superman, and a final word from the incomparable David Lynch. Golden sunshine and blue skies all the way!

We begin executing episode 66 with a heartfelt Movies N Sh*t tribute to the ultimate cinematic daddy and legend of legends, James Earl Jones. Then it’s on to a little movie theater talk, followed by a discussion about movie trailer dialogue delivery vs. actual movie dialogue delivery before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (21:36), TV Talk (1:39:57), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (2:00:00). Then it’s time for a double dose of “Not Like This, Christopher Nolan” along with some enlightening listener feedback at 2:16:15 before Patrick’s shameful showing of What Year Did That Come Out Again? at 2:25:28 but impressive performance during Tomato Talk at 2:28:10 to redeem himself before both of the podsmiths provide a Hidden Gem recommendation for your viewing pleasure. Episode highlights include Kelly and Patrick arguing about transformers, agreeing about the joy of showing someone a movie they end up liking, discussions about the real-time storytelling format, movie hitmen, a lack of sincerity in today's hip, self-aware flicks, a general lack of respect amongst movie theater audiences today and whether or not we even deserve nice things, and of course, a love song for Bobby Long. Special shout-out to all our North Carolina friends and listeners recovering from the storm. Thinking about you all and hoping you are back with the power to watch all the movies you can get your hands on very soon.

Do you remember 90s action flicks? Do you remember peak Arnold? Do you remember the first time you got shot out of a cannon? We sure do. And we miss all those things. That’s why we dusted off the last, great Cameron-Schwarzenegger collaboration for your viewing pleasure. So-rry we’re not so-rry. “Da 22nd Movies N Shit Commentary Episode is Oooooouuuutttttt!!!!!!”
