"I think I need a podcast. I definitely need a long, slow podcast. It's time to sing and dance as Phil takes 1986's Little Shop of Horrors off the shelf this week. Dave isn't eager to have another musical but finds the production design and a couple of performances to make it worthwhile. He alwlso locks in the Francis Award. Phil, however, remembers loving the movie as a kid and thinks fondly of most of the songs but the puppet and miniature work is where this movie shines. He is happy to revisit

"Doctors say there is a 50/50 chance he'll podcast, though there is only a 10 percent chance of that" - Dave decides to bring the funny as he takes 1988's The Naked Gun off the shelf this week. Phil wonders how much of the references would be lost on today's viewers and is curious about anybody who is introduced to O.J. through this movie.

"What does he do, this man you seek? - "He Podcasts" - It's another winner of the "Big Five" this week as Phil takes 1991's The Silence of the Lambs off the shelf. He remembers seeing this movie at a pretty young age and finding it more of a thriller than a horror movie but loved that a movie with such subject matter was winning so many Oscars. Dave had never seen the movie before but, of course, knew some of the themes and moments as they have lived well beyond the

"Remember, Podcast is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies." - Dave keeps us locked up as he takes 1997's Shawshank Redemption off the shelf this week. One of the most popular movies ever made that does just about everything right to get an audience to love it. Phillip remarks how the emotional strings co tongue to get pulled and doesn't mind. Dave wonders why he hasn't seen this movie more but, in the end, doesn't really connect to the overall

"Mmmmmm, podcast." Phil takes a trip to the "nuthouse" as he grabs 1975's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest off the shelf. We discuss the great performances and Louise Fletcher's ability to get us to hate such a seemingly nice person. Dave enjoys the casr of characters and how he recognized most of them from other things while Phil remembers how his heart sank as the story culminates.

1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park

"Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and podcasting" - Luckily for us there is Site B as Dave takes 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park off the shelf this week. Phil is fired up and offended at the precipitous drop in quality from one movie to the other. Turning Malcom from scientist to hero, from co-star to lead hurts the movie and the rest of the film fails to bring anything new to the table; except maybe the cast. New faces doing what may be

1993's Jurassic Park

"Welcome to Jurassic Podcast" - It's time to get prehistoric as Dave takes 1993's Jurassic Park off the shelf this week. Phil remembers the time he went to see the movie in theatres only to find out it was sold out. Lamentably, he only experienced it on VHS later and has since upgraded to 4K. Dave remembers that he wasn't able to see it later until later. A rare movie where both Phil and Dave enjoy almost every aspect of the filmmaking, performance and score. There are few films better than

"Just when you thought it was safe to listen to a podcast" - Phil takes to the beach as he grabs 1978's Jaws 2 off the shelf this week. The summer is here and it's a great opportunity to talk about the first sequel to one of the greatest movies ever. Phil remembers finding this movie to be a failure in almost every way when he first saw it. Bland characters, boring scenes and poor special effects, however, he is somewhat turned around on this most recent watch. The characters are still bland and

2013's A Good Day to Die Hard

"Me and my boy here, we're gonna put a podcastin' on ya!" - It's back to the well for Bruce Willis and Dave as he takes 2013's A Good Day to Die Hard off the shelf this week and subjects Phil to another movie that he had never seen. Judging by the quote above, this movie has nothing memorable or interesting to bring to the table as Phil found it to be bland and uninteresting. He further finds that Bruce has none of the self-awareness that Stallone infused Rocky 5 with

"A lot of people come to Vegas to Podcast, I didn't" - One more round in the Rocky franchise as Phil takes 2006's Rocky Balboa off the shelf this week. Dave find this entry to be a fitting conclusion to the story and things that it makes up for the casting issues of the last one Phil remembers seeing this movie in the theatre in Vancouver and coming out jacked up and excited. A beautiful ending to the story with some great heart and humour that elevates it above some of the previous sequels and a

"Touch me and I'll Podcast - it's round five as Phil takes 1990's Rocky 5 off the shelf this week. Dave isn't that eager to get back in the ring but in the end thinks the movie is better than he thought it would be, though does think that the casting of Tommy Morrison is a weak link to the film and ensures that it never reaches the heights it could. Phil finds the choice to humble Rocky and return him to the neighbourhood to be a good one and helps ground the character after

"I don't think the dead care about podcasting" - It's the second Bond movie that Phil has ever seen as Dave takes 2008's Quantum of Solace off the shelf this week. Phil expresses his disappointment in the film as it fails to capitalize on the strength of the previous entry. Some weak performances, drab colours and poor villain is a real let-down. Dave feels there's a good movie in there but fails due to poor editing. Neither of them could piece together the plot.

The Name is Pod - Pod Cast.....Dave finally brings down 2006's Casino Royale off the shelf this week and continues to enjoy the action adventure story. He confirms that Daniel Craig may be his favorite Bond in the franchise, right after admitting he's only seen one other. Phil has never seen a Bond movie before but is impressed with how many things he knows of the series of films just from the ubiquity of the character. From a great song to great titles, Phil is engaged and pretty locked in

"Fame has a fifteen minute half-life, podcasts last a little longer." - In these troubled times, Phil takes 1999's The Insider Off the Shelf this week and find that this story is just as important as it was then. Michael Mann's brilliant direction , except for the jowl-cam, and the pitch perfect performances of Russel Crowe and Al Pacino make this movie incredibly watchable. Dave was compelled by the movie but felt it a little too scene heavy and may have been a little shorter to

There are no perfect podcasts in the world; only perfect intentions - Dave takes 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves off the shelf this week and remembers that this was a common movie to watch in his household growing up.

Dave remembers watching this movie at the old apartment and remembering some of the highlights. Phil recounts his time discovering the movie and being transfixed by the performances, the words, the lighting.

"You're a liar and a podaster. - I only lied about being a Podcaster." We hit the strip as Dave takes 2001's Ocean's Eleven off the shelf. Phil remembers seeing this soon after moving to Vancouver and years before ever visiting Vegas. He thought it was the coolest movie ever and finds that it still may be true. Dave enjoys the banter and dialogue even if some of the lines feel written. Both find the movie enjoyable and look forward to the sequels.

Ready! Setty! Podcast!! - It's time to go back into the desert as Dave takes 2024's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga off the shelf. Phil looks back on their Fury Road episode and remarks that both were kind of interested to see this world expanded. However, he found the movie dull and the CGI to be sub-par. Dave enjoyed the action scenes well enough but felt a little let down with the length of the film and how certain set-pieces failed to deliver the way the original did.
