Andor Season 1 Part 1: Big Spy Energy

Pshht Themes ·

2025/04/13

Hello, Void! We have a special podcast for you this week and a pretty exciting plan for the next month. Matt is with us this week, so of course we're going to be talking about Star Wars but because of Andor season 2 is right around the corner, we're kidnapping Matt for a whole MONTH! Zealots, thieves, and soldiers, oh my! We watch Mon Mothma go from "the poor Bothans" to deadly sleight of hand "look here and you'll miss the knife." Cassian is not in form just yet but is promising enough to in...

Patton: The Will Smith Effect

Pshht Themes ·

2025/03/30

Helmets on, Void! We're taking cover behind this Sicilian rock while our fearless leader, Patton, takes wisdom from his past lives to plan our invasion of Italy! We're talking about the 1970 film "Patton" which explores the controversial career of one of WWII's most distinguished generals. Trust us, it's more controversial than you think. Between the first slap heard 'round the world (looking at you Will Smith), General Montgomery (Monty) being an aristocratic diva, and Bradley simply trying ...

The Somethings of Dumbledore: We Forgot the Name

Pshht Themes ·

2025/03/17

Hi, Void. This was a rough one. Have you ever seen a movie so bad it erased itself from your mind? You have?! So, you've seen Fantastic Beasts, the Secrets of Dumbledore too! What secrets? No idea. This is a common theme for the entire podcast. Positive moments: Theseus being hot, Mads Mikkelsen (also hot), and . . . that's about it. Jacob again should've been the hero, not the wet blanket that is Newt Scamander. Subplots overlooked: Nazis on the rise in Europe, wizards being dragged into mug...

Big Fish: Ugly Crying on Discord

Pshht Themes ·

2025/03/11

Bless your heart, Void! (insert southern accent for the remainder of the description) We find ourselves in Spectre with no shoes on and we think we may never leave. From naked lady fishes to giants that are just so hungry, all we really wanna do is put a nice gold weddin' ring on Sandra. We encounter everything Tim Burton has to throw at us: Danny DeVitto, Danny DeVitto as a werewolf, and Danny DeVitto making Deep Roy look taller than 4 ft. But when all is said and done, we find ourselves sob...

Bridget Jones's Diary: Happy Birthday Mum!

Pshht Themes ·

2025/03/01

Hello Void! This week we are writing in our diaries about Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) and Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and Erin is very happy about it. We discuss the greatest fist fight ever, the philosophies of panties, and blue soup. Renee Zellweger is a comedic master, combining the ideas of Jane Austen with the scope of modern life. Erin loves Daniel wet in a pond, Brennan is scarred by egg peelers, and we like this movie, just the way it is.

Spy: Saved by Stool Softener

Pshht Themes ·

2025/02/15

Hello, Void. As our title says, we talk about the 2015 film Spy starring Melissa McCarthy. This is a film neither of us thought would be enjoyable, but joke's on us, we can't stop laughing! Erin has not one, but two TED talks about her love of Jason Statham, Brennan keeps eating, and both cannot believe any Parisian could be "nice" especially to someone who spoke French like THAT. We discuss the copious cameos from Eurovision's Verka Serduchka, 50 Cent, and Ben Falcone to Zach Woods, Rachel D...

GoldenEye: Stealth Train!!

Pshht Themes ·

2025/02/09

Welcome, Void! This week we're back to bungee jump off a dam to the top of a mountain toilet stall! Ok, that's pretty gross, but to save the world from petty theft, it's worth it. If you don't know the story of GoldenEye, just know that it has Sean Bean in it and that tells you exactly what's going to happen! Betrayal! We have EMPs, perverted hackers (aka hackers), Q-Branch having way too much fun, and Bond gets Onatopp of a lecherous villain. We also learn that you can find a stealth train i...

Time Bandits ft. One George Harrison Song

Pshht Themes ·

2025/01/26

Erin and Brennan find a time hole to escape the supreme being who doesn't seem like a good guy. This week we talked about Time Bandits, the film made by 2/3rds of Monty Python that everyone should know about. We hop through the annals of time with 6 bandits (angels?) plus Kevin and encounter the best cameos. We have Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Ian Holm, R2-D2 (Kenny Baker!), and a Jawa (Jack Purvis)! We fight a minotaur with Agamemnon, give two pennies for the po...

Star Trek 09: Reboot the Final Frontier

2025/01/11

Podcasters' log, star-date 1039.129198651.5164651.57812456.25.456.265.1456.22. In response to Erin's commemorative solar orbit completion (her birthday), we review the J.J. Abram's video log titled Star Trek '09 where we discuss how Chris Hemsworth found his way to Valhalla, how much Shatner is too much Shatner, and the Winona Rennaissance with attached boob shelf. By order of Admiral Tyler Perry, the Golden Gate Bridge is not allowed to be touched! It may be an alternate universe, but Kirk w...

Bill and Ted Definitely Fail Their History Exam

Pshht Themes ·

2025/01/04

Welcome to the most excellent future, Void! We are here in our garage playing our guitars (plucking strings) to make the most bodacious music (cacophonous garbage). This week we watched the documentary film about public high school in San Dimas in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." Erin and Brennan discuss REAL history: the realities of plate armor, an extensive discussion on medieval torture, and Joan d'Arc not being Noah's wife (though she may have believed it). We talked about how this ...

F1 2024: Make Way for the New Hottest Team on the Grid

Pshht Themes ·

2024/12/14

Zoom zoom Void! We're back with our much-anticipated recap of the 2024 Formula 1 season! This year McLaren, Ferarri, and Red Bull went vroom vroom, while Alpine vrommed and Stroll boomed. Ya know, 'cause he crashes a lot? You get it. We discuss the schadenfreude of Red Bull behind the scenes, the earth-shattering move of Lewis to Ferarri, and the silent fart of Kick Sauber being slower than a Brad Pitt make-believe car. Seriously, this year had so much scandal and drama, and did we mention th...

Return of the King: Brennan DID Read the Books!

2024/12/07

Hark, Void! Middle-Earth's 007, Gamgee, Samwise Gamgee, saves the world from ring-obsessed Gollum while Frodo staggers into danger constantly. Literally, Elrond will only let Arwen marry Aragorn AFTER he's defeated ultimate evil in the world. Now THAT'S a father-in-law. ORCS HAVE NAMES TOO!! And feelings! No one hates orcs more than other orcs! Aragorn runs like a Muppet, Gandalf acts like a dad on a road trip, wraith tractor-beams, Jennifer Coolidge has thoughts on Minas Morgul, and Osgiliat...

The Two Towers: Pippin Gains Situational Awareness

Pshht Themes ·

2024/12/01

Hello, Void! We're back this week feeling fresh and wriggling as a new-caught fish. Or maybe a child throwing a tantrum. We debate the effects of magic in Tolkein's world, where the ent-wives have gone, and Gollum/Smeagol's ring motivations. We learn even more about Middle Earth as we venture into the wilds: oliphaunts are elephants with more tusks, dwarf women have beards, and there are even more hot men in Rohan (Karl Urban). Will Feramir ever break the curse of men, or will Sam finally get...

The Fellowship of the Ring: STILL NO RAILINGS

Pshht Themes ·

2024/11/24

The world has changed - Erin and Brennan can "podcast" now, they've had time to think on what to say next, and Brennan has FINALLY read the books. This means we spent 4 hours talking about everything, anything, and all the stuff you didn't need to know. Erin salutes Boromir for his heroism, Brennan is reading the Silmarilion and knows more than he should, and there is the attack of bro-Sauron. Basically, we just need the Academy to just give everyone Oscars, Gandalf uses the Shire as his vaca...

V for Vendetta: A Timely Film

Pshht Themes ·

2024/11/08

Voila!Erin and Brennan violently clash with this week's vexing political tragedy and turn to a vaudevillian veteran in a Guy Fox mask for solutions for voracity. Blood, bombs, and Shakespeare with a verbose soundtrack to boot! We have John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Natalie Portman, Stephen Rea, and Hugo Weaving all being the epic actors that they are in this 1984 inspired story of "V" vanquishing virulent vermin. Our only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value ...

Happy Samhain, Void! While Erin is reveling on the other side of the world, I'm in my apartment eating chocolates and making yummy sounds. Again, there is no new episode this week, but fret not, for we bring you one of our favorite films EVER! Sorry for just quoting the whole thing, but if you haven't seen it, we can think of nothing better for Halloween. From both of us, Happy Halloween!!

Hi. Void. How are you. I was going for emotionless blah, and I think I did it! Anyways, we are still on break this week, but we bring you one of our favorite recordings about vampires, Twilight. Be prepared for bad dialog and our hosts mocking them at every turn. Enjoy!

Phantom of the Opera: A Look Back

2024/10/19

Hello Void! This week we're not uploading a new episode, instead we're looking back at the romance story of an obsessive, creepy old guy using magic tricks to seduce an underage singer in the Paris opera. Awwwww, how lovely. Or gross. We'll leave that to you to decide. Happy Spooky Season!!!

Ghostbusters: Afterlife: Symmetrical: Book: Stacking!!

Happy spooky season! After 40 years, we are resurrecting Ghostbusters, but not the original, nor all the sequels and remakes that followed, but Afterlife, the sequel not-sequel remake-yet-not-remake sequel. We have a kid named Podcast, marshmallows with sado-masochistic tendencies, and Paul Rudd with a flower in his hair. At least we have confirmation that Gozer the Gozerian has ALWAYS had a flattop. This movie is wildly entertaining with the OG Ghostbusters seeing the story off to a new gene...

Zodiac: A Fun Bay Area Story for the Family ;)

Pshht Themes ·

2024/10/05

This week Erin and Brennan try their hands at solving the Zodiac murders and they totally nail it. How did it take so long for those pigs to figure it out? It was Lee, duh! Or Rick, maybe Vaughn, but probably Paul Avery. What a @&$#. Meanwhile, Erin tries to make a point by singing "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel while a baby gets thrown out a window. It's fun! At the same time, Brennan doesn't-SQUIRREL!-want to hear ANY fun facts from his sister. I mean, he's busy telling her that the fa...
