2025/12/11

It's depressing outside and now it's depressing inside after finishing this film. An indie darling, it goes deep into weird while also delving deep into what makes us human and all that jazz. No jazz talk this week, that will return next time. Christmas presents, is it too late to buy them and Jesse watched a movie without Josh, again.

Episode 146: Gymkata

Your Mother Ate My Dog! ·

2025/10/23

Oh, it's called Gymkata because of the GYM-nastics element of the film. I get it now. Huge film of 1985, Gymkata was Olympian Kurt Thomas' big breakout role. His only breakout role. His only role. It was a movie and we talked about it, and we also had a big life changing announcement halfway through. Happy Spooky month!

Episode 145: Pet Sematary

Your Mother Ate My Dog! ·

2025/10/16

Yes, I know that's not how you spell cemetary but this is Stephen King's book and Stephen King's mess of a movie. It's Halloween month, and this week's spooky film has to do with resurrecting pets and then maybe humans. Actually, don't watch the film. Instead, go be with your families. Hug them, don't bury their dead body in an ancient burial ground. Enjoy!
