How Have You Not Seen

This week we’re shifting gears DRASTICALLY and talking the 1979 classic, The Muppet Movie. Kermit is maybe one of our best living actors. What exactly is Gonzo? Who is your favorite Muppet? This episode is the DEFINITION of a REAL GOOD TIME!

Perhaps the most criminal result of the delay of DUNE: Part 2 was the delay of our episode covering Denis Villeneuve’s 2013 film, Prisoners. Starring a veritable who’s who of some of our biggest movie stars; we lament over what could have been for Jackman’s song and dance career, debate how many superheroes and polka dots David Dastmalchian has played, and drool over just how STUPID hot Jake Gyllenhaal is. TLDR- We do everything we can to still make it a real good time.

This week, JJ Bersch from Blank Check with Griffin & David, returns to top his own record and deliver our longest episode ever. For the first time ever, a guest brings a movie Caroline & Carson haven’t seen. We discussed Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Solaris.’ Clooney is charming as ever, Viola Davis turns in an outstanding early career performance, and this episode is a real good time!

This week, we are covering Sofia Coppola’s sophomore feature starring Bill Murray & Scarlett Johansson, 2003’s Lost In Translation. This film follows Johansson & Murray as they meet while following their individual journeys that have led them to Tokyo. Through Coppola’s signature style, the two form a bond that is as unlikely as it is meaningful.

St. Patricks’ month comes to MAYBE the most upsetting possible conclusion; This week we are discussing David Slade’s 2006 film ‘Hard Candy’. Starring Patrick Wilson, Elliot Page, and Sandra Oh, this film draws a wildly striking resemblance to Emerald Fennel’s ‘Promising Young Woman’. Good, bad, and ugly, this film makes for some excellent conversation.

St. Patricks’ month continues this week with Joel Schumacher’s 2004 musical movie ‘The Phantom of the Opera.’ There are SO many CHOICES made in this movie, good, bad, or indifferent. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a WEIRDLY auto-biographical musical, and then turned it into a weirdly auto-biographical movie. Patrick Wilson is our shining light and always will be. The theatre kids are out in full force this week, but we promise it’s a REAL good time!

It’s March! And, if there’s one thing about us- We’re going to commit to a bit. So, we are INCREDIBLY proud to welcome you all to St. Patrick’s MONTH! That’s right- This month we’re exclusively covering movies starring our patron saint- Patrick Wilson. We’re starting with Todd Fields’ 2006 film ‘Little Children.’

IT’S THE CAROLINE THOMPSON 30TH BIRTHDAY SPECTACULAR SPECIAL! This week, we’re covering Lin-Manuel Miranda’s 2021 film Tick, Tick… Boom! Andrew Garfield plays Jonathan Larson in the semi auto-bigoraphical film based on his unfinished stage work. We found a bit and COMMITTED. We recorded this episode around Caroline’s 30th birthday. Turns out, turning 30 ain’t that bad! We have a very nuanced discussion around this film, musical movies, Larson’s work, and how it fits into history.

It might be love month still, but this week Caroline is bringing 1967’s Warren Beatty & Fay Dunaway picture Bonnie & Clyde. Has anyone ever looked hotter on film than Warren Beatty? What review in Untitled Letterboxd Game ends “Fortnite Battle Royale!”? Oh, and Gene Wilder is here too? This episode is classic HHYNS and a REAL good time!

This week we are discussing 2011’s Crazy, Stupid, Love. This movie is one of the most chaotic things to ever exist, with a STUPID stacked cast- Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, and Marisa Tomei to name a few. This film swings from charming/fun to disgusting/illegal and settles somewhere FIRMLY in the middle. We play a truly excellent game of Recast It this week and get into a firm debate. Is Steve Carell hot in this movie?? This episode is a REAL good time!

This week, we are discussing the Daniel Radcliffe & Zoe Kazan romantic comedy, What If. (Also known as The F Word) This film is maybe the most aggressively 2013 thing ever made. But, it’s still a lot of fun despite this! It’s got Adam Driver, fresh off of girls, re-treads some themes from When Harry Met Sally, and makes our entire show feel ANCIENT. It’s only been 11 years, but the costumes in this thing have aged like sour milk. Regardless, this episode and conversation is a REAL good time!

HAPPY LOVE MONTH! We’re kicking off the Valentine’s season by discussing Ang Lee’s 1995 Jane Austen adaptation ‘Sense and Sensibility’. Emma Thompson’s adaptation is our newest entry into the comfort film pantheon. Between Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Imelda Staunton, and Alan Rickman (I’m positive someone is left off this list), this film is truly a study in all great British actors.

It is the last episode of Jimuary, we’re discussing James Cameron’s 1989 film, The Abyss.  Caroline wants to know if she can tell you a little bit more about her lord and savior, James Cameron? In all seriousness, she provides some incredible behind the scenes facts. (This thing was filmed in an ABANDONED NUCLEAR REACTOR??) We play an always excellent game of Recast It, share our Cameron rankings, and as always have a REAL GOOD TIME.

WE. ARE. BACK. AGAIN covering James Cameron’s 1991 classic, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. This episode has it all, Corey becomes a communist, we obsess over this being maybe the COOLEST movie ever, and we somehow talk about Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Palin, and the novel Coronavirus. Most importantly, it’s a REAL. GOOD. TIME.

This week we are discussing Martin Scorsese’s 1985 hit, After Hours. This week we fawn over Marty’s career. If a film this good is in your b-tier, WTF is your career? Do you think Scorsese has made the best film of every decade for the last five decades? Do you HATE that take? Are you a Catherine O’Hara stan?? 

This episode is a REAL good time!

Plus… we talk SO much about DUNE Pt. II.

This week we are joined by Aaron & Carlee of The Hit Factory Podcast to discuss Jacques Demy’s The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. The reactions discussed here truly run the gamut of every opinion you could have on this movie. Indisputably, this film has beautiful design and gorgeous colors. But, how do you talk about a movie that you didn’t like very much with someone who LOVED it? This episode is truly a masterclass in film criticism. It’s a REAL. GOOD. TIME.

This week, Caroline & Carson cover Jonathan Demme’s 1991 classic, ‘The Silence of the Lambs.’ How have we not done this one yet?? We play an excellent & CURSED game of Re-Cast It, debate whether or not Hannibal is a proper sequel, fawn over Jodie Foster’s performance, dunk on the haters, and have a REAL GOOD TIME!

We didn't think it'd be relevant a month later, BUT WHAT DO WE KNOW?? This week, Caroline, Carson, & Corey break down Greta Gerwig's Barbie & Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. As you can only imagine, we discuss how these fit into each director's respective filmographies, debate early Oscar buzz, and have a REAL GOOD TIME!

This week, Caroline & Carson cover Amy Heckerling’s 1995 classic Clueless, starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Donald Faison, and Brittany Murphy. Caroline fawns over Silverstone’s pitch perfect performance, Producer Corey makes a case that Brittany Murphy is the better performance, and Carson almost has a repeat of our Legally Blonde episode. (IYKYK) It’s a REAL good time!

This week, Caroline and Carson are traveling back to Middle School as they discuss Bo Burnham’s 2018 ‘Eighth Grade.’ We cover Elsie Fisher’s phenomenal performance, swoon over Josh Hamilton, and lament the universally AWFUL experience that is middle school. It’s a real good time!

This week, Caroline & Carson are covering John Cameron Mitchell’s 2001 cult classic, Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Carson continues his history of not knowing musicals are movies and he has to guess who wasn’t in the 2014 Broadway production- Aaron Taylor Johnson, Taye Diggs, or Michael C. Hall. We have a nuanced conversation on gender, sexuality, and how Hedwig simply is, Hedwig. It’s a REAL GOOD TIME!

We’re back and better than ever! Caroline, Carson, & Producer Corey are joined this week by our brand new social media manager, Kalie McAlexander. We catch up, get to know each other a bit better, and answer three seminal questions-1. What is your favorite movie? 

2. If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have one movie, what would it be? 

3. What your favorite movie of last year? It’s a REAL good time!
