Y2K

The Other Half ·

2026/01/01

Y2K is like Stranger Things for the Millennial generation who grew up on Windows 95! Well, at least that's how it's pitched. Directed by Kyle Mooney, the movie follows a loser from high school who suddenly finds himself in the apocalypse caused by the Y2K bug! But it's crazy. The computers are walking around and trying to take over the world. Only Rachel Zigler can hack into the computers and save the day!

Single All the Way

The Other Half ·

2025/12/25

Single All the Way is an odd Christmas movie. It feels like it wants to be a Hallmark movie with a gay dude in the center of it all, but it just has such an odd atmosphere to it. Peter is desperate not to go home from LA without a boyfriend, so he enlists his best friend to pose for him as his boyfriend. Then shenanigans ensue? Except not really, because his best friend already knows everyone and is really nice, and everyone likes him. Oh also Jennifer Coolidge is here to play herself.Don't

The Mistle-Tones

The Other Half ·

2025/12/18

I feel like Santa has brought us a varied list of movies this year, including a musical called The Mistle-Tones. Starring Tia Mowry from Sister Sister, The Mistle-Tones follows a lady who really wants to join a musical group of mean girls because, at some point, her dead mom was in that musical group. She recruits colleagues from her office group! Even her stuck-up boss, and that's where romantic shenanigans start!Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast

Window Wonderland

2025/12/11

It's not Christmas time unless we're watching a Hallmark movie, and this year we have Window Wonderland. But is it a good one of those? Or is it a huge flop? I gotta say, there's quite a lot of twists in this plot and clever reveals, but let's see if the chemistry between the two leads burns like the yule log on your TV.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at —

8-bit Christmas

The Other Half ·

2025/12/04

Ho-ho-ho we've gotten ourselves into a little predicament! Ethan and Mike have to save Santa by watching a bunch of Christmas movies! Luckily, they were planning on doing this anyway, so Santa should be good.We start with 8-bit Christmas. A movie about a boy in Chicago who wants nothing more than a Nintendo for Christmas. It's basically A Christmas Story mixed with The Goonies or Sandlot. Does it work, though or is it going to be another movie like Pixels?Don't forget to join

A Hologram for the King

The Other Half ·

2025/11/27

Happy Hanksgiving, everyone! Tomas from Almost Plausible once again joins us for another Tom Hanks movie. This time, one of the lowest-grossing movies of his career: A Hologram for the King. Tomas went the extra mile and read the book to give us insights into how exactly this movie was adapted to the screen. Which you know we love (see our Pinocchio series). Tom Hanks stars as a salesman who travels to Saudi Arabia to try and sell a uh hologram to their king. But things are not as they seem on this

Casino Royale 2006

2025/11/20

Okay, now that the joke is over, we finally watch Casino Royale, where Daniel Craig takes the reins of the James Bond role and tries to put a new spin on it. Does he live up to the hype? Is this a movie that may actually be genuinely good and not just a great James Bond film?

Die Another Day

The Other Half ·

2025/11/06

Die Another Day means we're back to Bond from our latest Halloween break! But the question remains, how many more of these are we going to have to watch? At this point, this is Pierce Brosnan's last movie. It sure feels like the final Broccoli family movie for a Bond actor. (BAD!) But are there at least some charming moments? Is Halle Berry a good Bond girl? Will the Matrix influence this movie at all?! Will we watch more James Bond movies even though Ethan has started to see more of them

Bring Her Back

2025/10/30

Bring Her Back, one of the latest Danny and Michael Philippou horror movies to hit the streets! Sally Hawkins plays an adoptive mother who has just gotten two new kids, Piper and Andy, but something is off about her. And something is even more off about her currently adopted son, who doesn't say anything, but stares at you and eats his own scabs. Andy must try and survive until his 18th birthday, when he can take his sister and him away from this creepy lady.Mike wasn't a fan of these

Together

Together is just like this podcast. We can't stop being away from each other, so that's why we have 553 episodes now. Although we wouldn't drink water from a questionable cave! That's for sure. Even if it didn't get you a body horror like a curse where our skin wanted to fuse, you could get a horrible sickness from it!At the end of the podcast, I said I'd post a photo that's a spoiler, so click here if you want to see what happens at the end of the movie!Don't forget

Dude Bro Party Massacre III

The Other Half ·

2025/10/16

Dude Bro Party Massacre III is the first in a trilogy of movies (that never existed) about Delta Bi! Created as a parody movie by 5-second films back in 2015, the Other Half tackles a comedy movie, which they haven't done in quite some time. This fraternity gets sent to a sorority house because they caused two passenger planes to crash. Unfortunately, they're haunted by Mother Face, who loves making puns every time she kills someone!

The Gingerdead Man

2025/10/09

It's been a while since we've seen just a straight-up poorly made movie, but we've finally arrived at The Gingerdead Man for this Halloween season. Still mourning her tiddy-obsessed brother, Sarah somehow bakes a cookie with her brother's killer's ashes, bringing him to life in gingerbread form. The killer is, of course, played by Gary Busey. Along with the help of Sarah's bully, Lorna and Lorna's boyfriend Amos, they work together to try and stop this terrifying spiced

Playroom

We're taking a break from our Bond marathon and are diving into our annual Spooktacular series for October! We can't let Bond hold back from our scary movies.Playroom is a movie Mike picked out because he saw Christopher McDonald starred in this movie early in his career. Plus, reviews said it was surprisingly good despite how awful the cover art is.

The World is Not Enough

The Other Half ·

2025/09/25

For their final appearance, NotTheHoneyBees had to chat about The World is Not Enough. This movie has maybe the biggest gap in quality between the two Bond girls ever. First, you have the incredible Sophie Marceau as Elektra King, a mysterious and chic femme fatale. Then you have Denise Richards as Christmas Jones, who is one of the least convincing nuclear scientists you could find, and is mostly there to elicit Christmas puns about her.Also, this movie wants us to root for an oil pipeline, which

Tomorrow Never Dies

The Other Half ·

2025/09/18

Tomorrow Never Dies is where we're told that Pierce Brosnan's golden era ends. It was super short-lived, apparently! This movie has Bond take on a giant, corrupt media mogul. Armed with a cool remote-controlled car, it's Bond against the world, and a Chinese secret agent played by Michelle Yeoh. Do we agree this is a bad movie, or are we going to be the contrarians!!

GoldenEye

The boys have finally entered the Pierce Brosnan era with GoldenEye! After a long time, Mike and Ethan have finally gotten to a Bond movie they've both seen. Will it hold up or change Mike's mind about how much he hated this movie at the time? Will Pierce Brosnan live up to the hype of their childhood nostalgia?

Licence to Kill

The Other Half ·

2025/09/04

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watch the last Timothy Dalton film, Licence to Kill. It's weird that we just got Timothy Dalton and he's already going the way of George Lazenby. (But has a career afterwards). It's mostly weird because this may be one of the best Bond films to exist. Maybe it's because it shakes the formula up and makes Bond care about something else besides just Queen and Country. Or maybe because sharks are cool, and so is electrocuting people

The Living Daylights

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys watch the first Timothy Dalton film, The Living Daylights. Bond is back and grittier than ever. We also got a new Felix, we got a new villain, we got a new Moneypenny, but we have the same old Q. This movie also has John Rhys-Davies playing a top Russian general.Is Timmy D the relief we've been looking for from the Roger Moore films?

A View to a Kill

The Other Half ·

2025/08/21

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys and HoneyBees watched the final Roger Moore movie, A View to a Kill! Roger Moore would have gone out with a bang, but he's completely overshadowed by Mayday, played by Grace Jones. Even the actual Bond girl in this movie is but a BLIP in the marketing artwork. Grace Jones is just that good. Pair her with Christopher Walken and you've got yourself one of the best pairs of villains you can find in a Bond film. Well, at least since Mr. Wint
