Mea Culpa - S4E14

How Original ·

2024/04/30

The boys can’t make heads or tails of ‘Mea Culpa’ (2024), a movie that has garnered almost unanimously scathing reviews. Did George get conned in Mexico? Can a movie have a ‘twist’ if it doesn’t make any sense? What’s it like at Shoeless Joe’s? Could Pat survive one sip of the ‘preparation?’ Are the Colorado Avalanche promoting getting cucked? Will mayor Ken Sim let Vancouverites celebrate in the streets? Tap in for the answers,

Puppy Love - S4E13

How Original ·

2024/04/23

This is a rare breed: a Pat-only episode. Pat sits down, cracks a Guinness 0, and tears through ‘Puppy Love’ (2023), an AMAZON ORIGINAL. He talks about the losers on the Criterion subreddit, the backpack lifestyle, dog-fishing on apps, why is this movie not a tight 90, ‘Marvin’s Room,’ Tik Tok rizz parties, and horrendous first-dates. How many problems you got (a lot), how many times you pod (a lot), how many plots you done forgot (a lot). Back to regularly scheduled podding next

The Babysitter - S4E12

How Original ·

2024/04/16

Once again, How Original pods for longer than the length of the movie. Always bet the over. The boys cover ‘The Babysitter” (2017) and have a great time even if the movie makes no sense. They talk about the ongoing Drake situation, George’s nonlinear interpretation of the very linear movie, taking her to the Hyatt and then freaking it, friend of the pod Sid from ‘Toy Story,’ learning to embrace the mysteries of Criterion 24/7, and the traumas of being a cadet. Plus: George thinks he should randomly

2024/04/09

Sorry Pat, we're actually not covering ABC's hit show "Lost" (2004-2010). This week we delve into "The Lost Daughter" (2021). We also discuss munching raw spinach over the sink for health points, spoiler etiquette, and the microbiome of Kevin Smith's jorts. Is Ben Affleck's character in "Jersey Girl" jerker of the year? Is J. Cole too humble, or not humble enough? Is George just stupid for buying a sage suit? Is the big one cap? The answers may surprise

How Original ·

2024/04/02

This episode has been hurtling towards listeners for a while now, much like a world-ending asteroid. This week the boys cover ‘Don’t Look Up’ (2021), a true extinction event of a movie, a real stinker. Pat and George talk about apocalypse survival tactics, attractive stars playing frumpy, should Leo and Jonah have swapped roles, where was China in all this, the allure of being a scientist with clout, and much more. Pat also exhumes a divisive 2007 forum debate about whether Jessica Biel or Jessica

Don't you Irish Wish (2024) you were listening to How Original right now? Well, you're in the right timeline, baby. Yes, Pat's still in love with Lindsay Lohan like it's 2007. We talk about the ethics of manipulating info discovered in alternate timelines, the fiction of the Huberman lab, scenes where writers stare at Chapter 1, the psychosexual interiority of Meek Mill, a proper pint of Guinness, and the Kennedy families.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie - S4E06

How Original ·

2024/03/05

Finally, the boys enter the illustrious world of spinoff movies. This one ain't bad, if you're into that kind of thing. Pat and George riff on "El Camino" and greedy TV fans, how to dress when you're on the lam, comfort movies, Pat's issues with the smol beanification of Jesse Pinkman by fans, the disappointingly brief screentime given to the actual El Camino, and the joys of being wordmaxxed bookcels. This episode is on the shorter side - the rare case we clock in UNDER

It's very important you watch our video episode for 'Bird Box' (2018), otherwise you'll miss a sight gag and you won't get the proper How Original experience - you might as well be Sandra Bullock rowing a boat blindfolded.

We're on that S tier of Netflix content on this one as we discuss "May December" (2023). We also don't shy away from hot topics like the ill-conceived Santa Swim, a legendary misuse of Netflix funds, whether it takes a high acting IQ to act poorly on purpose, and Pat's stance on Christmas (the answer WON'T surprise you). What if Santa was a woman? What if Taylor Swift was gay? What if Gaylor Swift was Tay? Idk. Pls. Listen. We've been doing this almost for a year,
