It’s the post-Oscar episode, a little late but as a movie show we HAVE to talk about it, that moment, of course, when… erm… Hey, Conan. Still prepping for August’s reboot of The Naked Gun, we’re driving into Washington D.C. of 1991 Bush-era first time around and contemplating David Zucker’s pivot to clear Republican sensibilities, mocking his own brother’s success with Ghost and what the hell a Scary Movie could be anymore. At least 2 people involved in this film were ignored from the In Memorium of this year’s ceremony and only one killed their ex and her partner.
BONUS - TICK, TICK... BOOM! COMMENTARY
Happy holidays to all! Johnny and Andrew are back in-person, and opening presents, as they watch their favourite film of 2021, talking Sondheim, Cats, Lin-Manuel Miranda, adventures in Oslo, Vanessa Hudgens’ filmography and also a nice pop-in of friend of the show Richard Kind. Come join the fun by syncing up with the film on Netflix, the commentary starts at 00:18:29
237 - AN EDUCATION
As the Oscars come closer, we spend time with the original Promising Young Woman, Carey Mulligan’s first Oscar nominated performance, which means discussing school-based comedies, pitching Johnny’s own version of such a film and recasting Star Wars with the Entourage gang, naturally.
202 - INTO THE WILD
Andrew presents one of his all-time favourite films during a time when neither host has been able to experience any kind of outside adventure in almost half a year, it’s a perfect time to lament and wistfully watch a film like this. Will Johnny join Andrew in loving this film, or like Andrew to any of Johnny’s films, will Johnny nitpick this to death?
179 - THE AFRICAN QUEEN
What other podcast can go from 2019 to 1951 in such a smooth move? Johnny’s not seen maybe any Katherine Hepburn picture before, and Andrew is forced to listen to Billie Eilish for the first time. Johnny then delves into time travel more as he explains the manifestations of DC’s TV shows.
128 - DOLORES CLAIBORNE
Stephen King month hits Kathy Bates territory with the ‘other’ King adaptation she starred in. Johnny shares stories of actually reading the book, and Andrew discusses filmmaking in a deeply useless way. Plus jokes.
126 - HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE
Studio Ghibli month ends with a guest appearance from Dick Cheney and a watch of a Christian Bale film about wars and heart transplants. But also a discussion on Fozzie Bear as a voice actor.
117 - 2018 - A YEAR IN REVIEW
Johnny and Andrew look back over the last year of the podcast, the highs and the lows, and Johnny can’t stop talking about that trip to Nashville he took. So Andrew naturally annoys him constantly over it.
074 - HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY
Rounding off The Shape Of Del Toro Month, the boys hit up a big action blockbuster sequel and hope it fares better than the first. But will it? TROLL MARKET!
070 - CRONOS
The Shape Of Del Toro month begins with Guillermo’s first film, and the boys have no clue how to deal with subtitled vampire myths.
BONUS - OSCAR SPECIAL 2017
It's the most glamorous night in Hollywood and Johnny & Andrew invite you to experience all the pre-show/post-show talk from the 89th Academy Awards in podcast form. Will La La Land sweep? Will Moonlight get a handjibber of a night? Will Warren Beatty admit that Rules DO Apply? Yes.
PREVIEW - MARCH SEASON
Johnny is away so Andrew reveals why we're not on this February, and with a very special guest he announces March's special movie month.
