2019/11/20

Something's got to be done about this podcast! We don't become @$$holes or anything, but we do love a good Back to the Future / time travel / embrace the paradox discussion. And you'll get plenty of that when Bo, Patrick, and John start fluxing their capacitors and power-lacing their shoes. We might not need roads, but you're gonna want to buckle up.

Nietzsche wrote: "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

30something Movie Podcast ·

2019/10/25

2019/10/17

Arthur Fleck has only ever wanted to bring joy and laughter to the world. Instead the world has brought him nothing but pain and ridicule.

Episode #265: "Along came the Hobyahs" | Celia (1989)

30something Movie Podcast ·

2019/10/09

It's got a creepy soundtrack, fleshy blue monsters, a rabbit infestation, and Australian socialists... but this is not your typical horror movie. Originally intended as a complex sociopolitical drama about what the adult world does to the mind of a child, American markets rebranded this film as a horror. So if you watch Celia (or in America: Celia - Child of Terror) be forewarned that you're heading into a more psychological path than an Omen or Exorcist-style fright fest. Intro: Intro / Spoiler

30something Movie Podcast ·

2019/09/27

It's been a challenge to get everyone together lately, so we take a quick break from our regular schedule, but not from 1989. John features two movies he found recently on Tubi.tv — the Hulk Hogan classic (?) No Holds Barred and the Corey Feldman/Corey Haim coming of age movie Dream A Little Dream. Trailer(s): No Holds Barred (1989) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POYGZAIQl2o Not the right movie, but still fun... No Holds Barred (1952) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7tiVcuVKh0 Dream A Little

2019/09/20

You usually feel pretty safe letting your kids play in the front yard, but what if they were only a quarter-inch tall? Childhood fantasies come to life when four kids get shrunk down to the size of an ant and go on an adventure of a lifetime. Giant Lego pieces, killer sprinklers, the precursor to the Roomba lawnmower... it's all here! Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!

30something Movie Podcast ·

2019/09/12

Whether you've owned a dog or not, you can't really argue with the title of this one. But does the sentiment match up with the movie itself? Does the Don Bluth magic from Secret of NIMH, Land Before Time, and An American Tail hold up? Join John, Bo, and Pat as we journey to heaven, hell, and New Orleans in the children's classic All Dogs Go To Heaven starring Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, and Judith Barsi.

Episode #260: "A Ghost prequel... But with planes and...

30something Movie Podcast ·

2019/09/08

Always came out before Ghost, but so many people have never heard of it much less seen it. But see it you should... in some ways it has more heart than the more popular movie that came out a year later. Just ignore the fact that I might have accidentally said that Ted Danson was in Ghost somewhere in this episode. It's still Patrick Swayze. I blame too much work and sleep deprivation.

2019/09/05

What's your ideal weekend? If it's dragging a dead guy's corpse around and pretending he's still alive because you think if you just call the cops things will get even worse... you probably starred in the movie Weekend At Bernie's.

2019/08/30

We couldn't get the band together for an 80s movie discussion this week, but we all know if a Star Wars trailer comes out and John doesn't have a chance to talk about it, he explodes like a womprat being bulls-eyed by a moisture farmer in his T-16 back home. (And they're not much bigger than 2 meters.) Anyway... here's John's take on the D23 sneak peak we got and what it means for the upcoming final installment of the Skywalker saga. Needless to say... SPOILERS and speculation

2019/08/22

Read people's reactions to Ghostbusters II on the internet and you might wonder if you watched the same movie. It doesn't get a lot of love from the online community, but maybe everyone just misses their kittens. Either way, the joyfulness is just beginning as Pat and John dive into the river of slime.

2019/08/15

Men are supposed to be made of steel, but Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis, and Julia Roberts are the true strength of their families in this adaptation of the stage play Steel Magnolias. As the trailer's tagline puts it, "it's the funniest movie that will make you cry."

The Baker brothers have been tickling the ivories together for over 30 years and things have gone just fine. But that's the problem. Things are just fine. When they realize it may be time to add something new to the act, they enlist the help of a singer who might just tear the Fabulous Baker Boys apart. Jeff Bridges, Beau Bridges and Michelle Pfeiffer star in The Fabulous Baker Boys. Intro: Intro / Spoiler Alert [0:00] Movie News [18:52] The Movie: The Fabulous Baker Boys info/trailer [28:42] The
