Magnolia (1999)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2026/04/25

Send us Fan Mail Paul Thomas Anderson swings for the fences with Magnolia, and we’re here for every wild, messy, emotional minute of it. In this episode, we dig into PTA’s bold storytelling, the interconnected characters, and that absolutely stacked cast—Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy, and especially Tom Cruise, who shows up, burns the house down, and leaves you questioning everything (respect the c**k, indeed). We talk frogs, feelings, and whether this movie is a mas...

Dr. Strangelove (1964)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2026/04/05

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we gather around the Big Board and set our sights on Dr. Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick’s razor-sharp Cold War satire that somehow feels just as relevant—and just as hilarious—today as it did in 1964. We break down Kubrick’s masterful direction, the unforgettable performances (yes, multiple from Peter Sellers), and how the film balances absurdity with a chilling sense of reality. Decades later, its humor still lands, its themes still resonate, and its place amo...

Oscars Ceremony 2026 Reaction!

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2026/03/22

Send us Fan Mail We’re back with a bonus episode! Today on We Interrupt This Movie, we react to the 2026 Oscars—what we liked, what we didn’t, and how it all shook out compared to our predictions. Nothing really shocked us this year, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have thoughts. We talk about Conan O’Brien, the tight Best Actor race, and what we actually managed to get right (for once). Awards season only comes once a year, and apparently so does our ability to pretend we’re qualified t...

Twilight (2008)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2026/03/21

Send us Fan Mail Sorry about this one… this week on We Interrupt This Movie, we sink our teeth into Twilight (2008)—yes, that Twilight—and let’s just say it’s not exactly making our top 10 anytime soon. Tage thought it would be fun (questionable judgment, honestly) to tackle a movie we don’t really enjoy, so here we are, awkward stares and all. We are joined by special guest Natalie (Tage’s wife), who helps balance out the chaos as we try to make sense of sparkly vampires, questionable romanc...

With a stacked lineup of nominees — including standouts like One Battle After Another and Sinners — this year’s Academy Awards are shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent memory and we are excited to watch this years ceremony!

Knives Out (2019)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2026/02/23

Send a text In this episode of We Interrupt This Movie, we dive headfirst into Knives Out, the first installment in Rian Johnson’s wildly entertaining whodunit series. From its razor-sharp ensemble cast to the deliciously twisty plotting, we unpack why this modern murder mystery feels both classic and completely fresh. We also talk about Daniel Craig’s boldly theatrical Southern accent, an accent so committed it deserves its own billing in the end credits. Strap in, interrogate the suspects, ...

Arrival (2016) - Take 2

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2026/02/10

Send a text This week on We Interrupt This Movie, we’re revisiting Arrival (2016) — and yes, this is Take Two. Back in the early days of the podcast, we covered the film but later realized we didn’t quite do it justice. Considering it’s one of our favorite movies of all time, that never sat right with us, so we decided it was time to return to Denis Villeneuve’s beautiful, brain-melting sci-fi masterpiece with fresh eyes and a deeper conversation. We dig into what makes Arrival so power...

In this episode of We Interrupt This Movie, we dive headfirst into the 2026 race, breaking down the Golden Globe winners, reacting to the Oscar nominations, and debating which films deserve the big prizes versus which ones we think will actually take them home. Along the way we share our personal favorites, a few surprise snubs, and the performances and movies we can’t stop thinking about — plus the usual passionate disagree...

Tenet (2020)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2026/01/11

Send us a text The lads return after a holiday break for a deep dive into Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s wildly confusing yet undeniably thrilling time-bending spy epic, packed with inverted bullets, temporal pincer movements, jaw-dropping set pieces, and a propulsive Ludwig Göransson score that never lets up; we try to untangle what it all means while also admitting that even when Tenet makes us feel both smarter and dumber at the same time, it’s still one of the most exhilarating blockbuster pu...

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2025/12/21

Send us a text Strap in, Christmas clowns — the lads are lighting up the neighborhood and diving into National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the holiday classic that proves no one commits harder to Christmas than Clark Griswold. Chevy Chase is in peak form as America’s most determined dad, Randy Quaid’s Cousin Eddie shows up exactly when you don’t want him to, and we break down why this movie remains an annual tradition despite (or because of) its total chaos. Derek’s got the day off, but pas...

Interstellar (2014)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2025/12/06

Send us a text Strap in, space cowboys. The lads are blasting off this week with Christopher Nolan’s epic sci-fi emotional detonator Interstellar. It’s a film where time bends, love transcends dimensions, and Matthew McConaughey gives one of the best performances of his career — equal parts astronaut, dad, philosopher, and #1 single-tear reactor. From that iconic bookshelf reveal to Hans Zimmer’s cathedral-organ score rattling every molecule of your being, we’re exploring why this film hits t...

The Aviator (2004)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2025/11/22

Send us a text This week, the lads take to the skies with Martin Scorsese’s glossy, obsessive, beautifully unhinged epic The Aviator. We dive into Leonardo DiCaprio’s electric turn as Howard Hughes — aviation pioneer, Hollywood mogul, germaphobe extraordinaire — and explore everything from the Spruce Goose to milk bottles without losing cabin pressure. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s a little OCD-coded, and it might cause you to shout “Show me all the blueprints!” at wildly inappropriate times. Buc...

The Shining (1980)

2025/11/10

Send us a text This week, the lads check in to the Overlook Hotel for a long-overdue stay with The Shining — Stanley Kubrick’s chilling masterpiece of isolation, madness, and malfunctioning typewriters. It may be a little late for Halloween, but there’s never a bad time to talk about axe-wielding writers, eerie twins, and the unmistakable dread that only Kubrick can conjure. From the meticulous set design to Jack Nicholson’s legendary descent into insanity, we dive deep into what makes The Sh...

One Battle After Another (2025)

We Interrupt This Movie ·

2025/10/25

Send us a text This week, the lads wade into One Battle After Another, a film so loaded with powerhouse performances it might as well be an acting masterclass. Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro each bring enough intensity to power a small city — and under Paul Thomas Anderson’s direction, that energy somehow becomes poetry. We unpack the craft, the chaos, and the quiet genius of a filmmaker who never wastes a frame. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman, and Steve Teasdale. T...

Weapons (2025)

2025/10/11

Send us a text This week, the lads take aim at Weapons, the dark and unsettling new film from Zach Cregger, the guy from The Whitest Kids U’ Know who turned out to be a seriously talented horror director. We didn’t quite know what to expect going in, but, you know what — we really enjoyed this one. Smart, unnerving, and surprisingly layered, Weapons keeps you guessing right up to the end. Don’t worry — no weapons were used in the making of this podcast. Just a few strong opinions. Hoste...

The Discovery (2017)

2025/09/28

Send us a text This week, the lads dive into Charlie McDowell’s ambitious sci-fi drama The Discovery, where the afterlife isn’t a mystery — it’s been proven. We unpack its big ideas, haunting tone, and the quiet presence of Robert Redford, whose legacy looms large. It’s a conversation about life, love, and what happens when a great concept doesn’t quite find its footing — with the usual mix of humor, wonder, and a touch of existential dread.

Birdman (2014)

Send us a text The lads take flight with Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s single-take fever dream about ego, art, and actors in their underwear on Broadway. We dig into Michael Keaton’s meta-performance, the film’s dizzying camerawork, and that relentless jazz drum soundtrack that feels like it’s chasing us down a New York alley. Expect sharp takes, a little self-deprecation, and maybe a rimshot or two. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman and Steve Teasdale Theme song composed and performed by Steve...

Spaceballs (1987)

2025/08/31

Send us a text The lads boldly go… nowhere near the speed of light, but straight into the galaxy of Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. From ludicrous speed to jammed radars, they’ll comb the desert (literally) for laughs, quote the movie way too many times and debate whether or not this flick holds up after nearly 40 years since it’s release. May the Schwartz be with you! Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman and Steve Teasdale Theme song and incidental music composed and performed by Steve Teasdale Ple...

We break down Mel Gibson and Danny Glover’s iconic dynamic, rooftop negotiations, and just how many explosions it takes to build a friendship.

There Will Be Blood (2007)

2025/08/02

Send us a text “I’m an oil man, you see…” And we’re podcast men, you see. So naturally, this week the lads strike it rich with Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic tale of ambition, greed, and milkshake-drinking misanthropy. We dive deep into the psychological oil well that is Daniel Day-Lewis’s powerhouse performance, and discuss everything from PTA’s bold direction to Jonny Greenwood’s haunting score. Daniel Plainview drinks your milkshake. We drink… lukewarm coffee and talk too much. Please r...
