Back to the Future (1985)

Back to the Future (1985)

Great Scott! There's been a balance brought to the space-time continuum as the Chris, Mikey & Dave from "Fine Movies. Fine Spirits" are back to talk about the 1985 Robert Zemeckis classic, "Back to the Future." And while that alone is pretty heavy, it is also coinciding with year four of Mikey's month long Back to the Future celebration, Marchy McFly. The stars truly are aligned on this one. So why don't you make like a tree - and listen.

Howdo fair podcast listener! The three happy lads, Chris, Dave, and Mikey are back talking about The Banshees of Inisherin - a movie that Dave and Mikey look as a cautionary tale of what their future will most likely be. But who is the nice fella and who will end up throwing his fingers at that nice fella? Well, you'll just have to fecking listen, won't ya?

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

Who are those guys? Well, they're the same three podcasters you've been riding along side for years! That's right, Chris, Dave and Mikey are back to talk about the 1969 classic, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - a film Mikey watched for the first time. So sit back, crack open a cold one, and get ready for a "David Hot Alert" that you might not see coming, but surely cannot deny...

Poddersville VIII: “It’s A Wonderful Movie”

Merry Christmas everybody! Welcome back to another "Poddersville" special (Pottersville + Podcast - get it!?) Chris, Mikey, and Dave are back one more time this year to keep the tradition alive and celebrate the movie that started it all for this podcast, "It's a Wonderful Life!" A big thank you to everyone who has listened to another year of us talking movies and making fun of each other. We look forward to doing it again for another year. See you in 2024!

Daddy's Home 2 (2017)

Daddy's Home 2 (2017)

Happy Holiday's movie fans! The boys are back in the Christmas mood as we discuss a favorite of our hosts - a movie that you're probably thinking, "Wait, is this right?" A movie that you may not even realize is a Christmas movie. Yes that's right, Chris, Mikey and Dave are back to discuss the 2017 Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg family comedy, "Daddy's Home 2."

And much like this sequel expands its cast of characters, this podcast is expanding its cast as for the first time ever on the show we can say that the Morris trifecta is complete as we welcome Chris' eldest brother Jon to the show!

And no, he didn't crash the show - he had an invitation and he brought it with him as proof.

The Hunt for Red October (1990)

The Hunt for Red October (1990)

Happy Thanksgiving Week, Cranberry Sauce fans! See? It's red. So it works. Although we left the month of October behind, we still thought it would be a good time to talk about October - or at least an October - as we discuss the 1990 film, The Hunt for Red October.

As the Dave, Chris, Mikey and the rest of America get ready to celebrate and give thanks on this Thursday (aka, eating and watching football), a certain sub captain (with an incredible wig) was very thankful that a certain CIA agent (with incredible hair) figured out that all the captain wanted to do was....eat and watch football on Thursday.

Welcome to America, Captain Ramius.

Barbarian (2022)

It's the most, spookiest time of the year.....And with that it's time to talk about some scary movies! Mikey, Chris, and Dave are back to talk about 2022's Barbarian! This movie is available on MAX right now if you haven't seen it - and believe me, if you haven't do NOT listen to this until you do. The less you know about this movie the better. Don't worry, we'll be here when you're done.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

Let's begin, shall we? Ladies and Gentlemen, your favorite podcasters are back and FINALLY Dave and Mikey have worn Chris down and he finally approved our application to do a podcast talking about the CLASSIC Pee-wee's Big Adventure from 1985. This podcast is the story of two men wearing down a third man into hopefully appreciating how great of a movie this really is....I love that story.

RIP Paul Reubens.

Do you like podcasts? Well, we gotta new episode for ya about Good Will Hunting, so how you like that podcast? Yes, Chris, Mikey, Dave are back (as is a newcomer to the show - voiced by David....you'll find out soon enough) and trying to do their best Boston accent (having grown up about 30 miles north of Boston themselves. I'll spoil it right now - Dave's is the worst. Just awful.

Aliens (1986)

Aliens (1986)

Wait over! Wait over man!

In 1979, we learned from Ridley Scott’s Alien that in space – nobody can hear you scream. In 1986, we learned from James Cameron’s Aliens taught us that they mostly come out at night. Mostly. And in 2023, we learn that putting Dave and Mikey in the same room talking on the same microphone might not have been the greatest idea. Chris did his best to reel them in as they took a slightly different approach to the podcast – an idea that they are going to stick with going forward. Less clips – more quips!

MacGruber (2010)

Let me tell you how this is gonna go down. First, you're going to download and listen to Chris, Mikey and Dave as they talk about the cinema classic, MacGruber from 2010. Then you're going to laugh your ass off and after that, you're gonna go give us a fancy review on Apple Podcasts. One thing I do know, is that you're going to enjoy this episode. And that is non-negotiable. Who's first?

The Fugitive (1993)

“I’m going to be honest, this is really going to be a letdown after the last pod”-Dave, sleepy host of this show.

HOT MESS ALERT: Hello fine podcast listeners. Please be aware that this episode may have run into more trouble than Richard Kimble did trying to clear his name. With Chris’ technical issues and Dave’s…we’ll say lack of energy….Mikey did his best to edit around it. So if it sounds choppy and weird, blame Chris and/or Dave. If it sounds great, give all credit to that amazing/handsome editor Mikey.

Full disclosure, that genius also writes these show notes. What a guy. The other two are lucky to know him….

Another Round (2020)

Another Round (2020)

What a life! What a movie! The boys are back to talk about a movie that really could and should be considered the official mascot of this podcast! But they're not alone - joining them this round is past and future guest, Greg Morris, to make this fittingly a foursome as they talk about a truly amazing movie - the 2021 Academy Award winner for best International Film, Another Round.

So sit back, check your blood alcohol level, and enjoy the show...Skol!

Star Wars (1977)

Star Wars (1977)

Help us, podcast listeners – you’re our only hope. That’s right space cadets, your favorite three podcasters are back to talk about the ORIGINAL, before there were episode titles, before it was given a subtitle – the classic 1977 George Lucas masterpiece, Star Wars. This movie changed a lot of lives, and changed movies and pop culture forever, and finally we’re here talking about it!

Full disclosure, one of our hosts (I won’t say which Dave it is) had to be up at 3am to catch a flight. Keep that in the back of your mind when you set upon the listening adventure of a lifetime….

Elf (2003)

Elf (2003)

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is podcasting a beloved Christmas classic for all to hear. That's right - this holiday season gather the family around the your podcast listening device of choice and listen to Dave, Chris & Mikey talk about the fine, fine Christmas movie - Elf!

Can you believe this movie is almost 20 years old? It just goes to show you that the hands of time are never stopping and each moment brings us all closer to our eventual...wait, what were we talking about? Oh, the cheerful, delightful Will Ferrell classic, Elf....Merry Christmas!!!!

Bone Tomahawk (2015)

Bone Tomahawk (2015)

While it is December and everyone is getting into the Holiday Season - we thought we'd throw some dirt on that a bit (and some blood too) and before we get in our holly jolly festive moods we thought we'd take a moment to talk about the gritty (very very gritty) 2015 S. Craig Zahler Western, Bone Tomahawk.

If you haven't seen this movie before and enjoy a good harsh look at the old West, you can watch Bone Tomahawk for free on Pluto and Hoopla.

Remember - this is NOT a Christmas episode and you should NOT watch this movie with your kids - unless your kids like gritty, gory westerns - then go for it mom and dad!

Heaven Can Wait (1978)

Heaven Can Wait (1978)

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our US listeners out there! To the rest of you, um, happy 4th week of November! It's that time of year where we focus on the ones we love and of course on football - and what better movie brings together such a feeling as 1978's Heaven Can Wait!

Chris and Dave have loved this movie forever, and Mikey just saw it for the first time for the pod. What did he think? Well you'll have to listen to find out. So, turn off the parade. Turn off the game (except for the Patriots game Thursday night). Turn off that video game the kids are playing in the other room - and all get together and listen to this brand new episode!

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Happy Halloween all you ghouls and boys and get ready to HAIL SATAN with our three hosts as they talk about the 1968 horror classic, Rosemary's Baby! So put your earbuds and listen to this episode while you pretend to pay attention to your kids while they're trick-or-treating...."Oh cool another peanut butter cup? That's great sweety....."

Parasite (2019)

Parasite (2019)

Imagine showing up at someone's house and just staying there? Sure the 2019 Academy Award winning best picture Parasite is not based on a true story - but during the recording of this episode you will discover a very similar situation as Dave's son shows up in the middle of this episode to watch what turned out to be a truly terrible Celtics game. He's not a parasite, but I'm grasping at straws here.

You will hear him, his father, Mike and Chris talking about this great movie. Well maybe not him that much, but the older guys can't stop talking about it...

Since this is a foreign language film, there are no clips during the episode. In fact, Mike just pasted in the audio and really didn't do much editing at all...We'll see how that goes...

Old School (2003)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's main event! This one was actually recorded 18 days ago and Mike finally got around to editing it for your listening pleasure. During this episode we learn how, for a short time, Chris almost lived out the plot of this movie - and how David can't spell the last name of his friend of over 42 years. Nothing matches friendship like that.

May 29, 202201:20:34
Rocky (1976)

Rocky (1976)

Finally! This one was recorded weeks ago and Mikey finally got off his ass and got the episode finished. He of course is joined as always by Chris and Mike talking about 1976's Rocky - a truly wonderful movie that all three of our hosts grew up loving.

And stay tuned towards the end for a truly jaw dropping moment over a year in the making....

The Godfather (1972)

50 years ago, Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo brought us a cinematic masterpiece - one of the greatest movies of all time - The Godfather. Today, our usual gang, Chris, Mikey and Dave are joined by a new member of the FNE family, and a literal member of Chris and Dave's family, Chris' baby brother Greg. Together the four of spend a few hours going through this legendary movie, while enjoying a beverage or two. Or three.

Also, Greg is running in this year's Boston Marathon. Why would someone run so long on purpose when nobody is chasing them? Well, in Greg's own words:

"I am one of many who hope to do just that on April 18th at the 126th Boston Marathon. Not to just fulfill some crazy dream, but to do it while helping Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund fight cancer."

Yes Greg is raising money for an amazing cause, and if you have a chance please check out Greg's Fundraising page and donate if you can.

So put on your fedora, pack up your whip, and be prepared to kill as many bad guys as you can in the name of preserving history! Or at least listen to us talk about Indiana Jones doing just that.
