Mac N Cheese Movies

With our first foray into Louisiana Chicken Gumbo, Scotty gives the Dark Roux the dark gift and Katie has Louisiana Popeyes as we discuss "Interview With The Vampire." Is Lestat the unlikely hero? We talk about this sneaky LGBTQ blockbuster and the themes it deals with.  About the working relationship between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.  How Scotty fought to see this movie in the theater and Katie's first amazing viewing of this film. How we change but the film does not.

A deep dive of this 80s Dracula story with two horror aficionados Brian Neighbors and Carrie Villadiego. The best first tastes ever on the show.  How the movie was revolutionary for vampire movies and how "Fright Night" is like the sun.  Brian's smoke detector has the same take on the movie.  

Live from the Yapping Fox, we talk about "The Witches of Eastwick" with Samantha.  We talk about lessons in style from the movie and choose your own adventure.  Is the Joker the same as Daryl?  Is the film Patriarchal stereotype sexist nonsense or not? We find out we all want to be Cher. There can be many interpretations to this work.

John Cameron returns for us to take a shot at date flick "2001: A Space Odyssey." We talk about the theater experience in 1968, great ape performances, foster dogs were moved during the film, Cyborg English, Literary Analysis in high school and how we have not advanced. 

With four fried chickens and a Coke plus Chicago deep dish pizza, we take on "The Blues Brothers" with James Cook.  We talk about trivia from the cult classic, why it works and the brilliance of John Belushi

For our "Bull Durham" episode, we have "Slaw Hot Dogs with Crash and Nuke Creme Brulee."  We talk about Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon's performance and classic fashion choices plus Nuke's t-shirt game.  Is Annie the Anti Manic Pixie Dream Girl?  How does the movie change at each age you watch it?  How is this movie different than every baseball movie yet the ultimate baseball movie?

We make buttermilk pancakes, fried eggs, bacon with Cocoa Krispies for the magical Pee Wee breakfast while we talk about "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" with Adrienne Hagler.  Did the movie work when we were kids and why did our parents hate it?  Does it hold up as adults, the brilliance of Tim Burton and what do we still wish we had from this movie.  

Almost Famous is Cameron Crowe's masterpiece that works in every way. The casting, the songs, the rock n'roll, the sentiment.  Chad and I talk about why it's so important to us and why there will never be a movie like it again.

We talk with Henry Florsheim about "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" over Chicago style pizza, Jennifer Grey Poupon, Abe Froman sausage, Cameron fries and warm gummy bears.  How did Scotty liberate his daycare with Ferris Bueller?  What actors have the magnetism to play Ferris Bueller? Is this Jennifer Grey's best movie? Favorite Bueller theories? All of it before we have a food coma on this episode.

A pod about going to the movies with your dad.  My dad and I saw every "Die Hard" movie on opening weekend and a ton of Bruce Willis movies over the years.  We talk about Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, McTiernan and the cast. We talk about our favorite "Die Hard" knock offs and why "Die Hard" is the "Appetite For Destruction" of 80s action movies.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, what do you do? We talked about Alexander Payne, Paul Giamatti and "Sideways" with John Cameron.  Is there something more to this film than being the hipster intellectual version of "The Hangover", who else would've done great in these roles and is this Alexander Payne's best film?

In honor of the Gas N Sip, we’ve got chili dogs with Scotty’s non award winning chili made with chuck roast and all kinds of dried peppers, real Texas Mexican chili. And we're having coffee.

Chowder with chief ingredient cellulite and grilled cheese minus the Jarlsberg, we discuss how "The Devil Wears Prada" won 2006, if the movie is better if Emily is the main character,  Nate or Christian and how we can't wait to go grey like Miranda Priestly.

We're here to kick some ass and drink some WF Brewery beer. Looks like we're almost out of beer. In this episode, we talk about "Dazed and Confused" while making Beer Cheese Soup.  Who do you want to be in this movie? Who are you really? Would you want to be in this 1970s world full of hazing, air raids and the moon tower?

We’re talking about the 1999 movie “Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels” with Bangers and Mash Scotty style and High Steaks Poker (Ribeyes), New Castle Beer and a Jalapeno Popper cause this movie was hot hot hot when it came out.  We talk about the movie, the cast, Guy Ritchie, Matthew Vaughn and how Tom Cruise was instrumental in bringing this to the big screen.

We tried to find redemption in the 2015 "Point Break" remake.  There's more than you think.  Is this movie better if it doesn't have the baggage of being called "Point Break"?  What would be a good prequel?  Does the bromance have anything on the original? Would this movie be better with Gerard Butler?  Which director could've nailed the remake?  

Shannon and Scotty eat homemade pizza with Carla Rogers as we watch the 1988 "Feds" starring Rebecca De Mornay and Mary Gross.  We compare it to the others 80s comedies it resembles, if the movie is better without Bill Murray and Chevy Chase and how we would recast some of the roles.

We talk about how "Midsommar" isn't scary, just creepy vibes or is it psychological horror?  Were any of the characters redeemable?  Spoilers galore.

Watching "Clueless" while eating two bowls of Special K, three pieces of bacon, a handful of popcorn, five peanut butter M&M's and like three pieces of licorice. We have a Mismatch Fashion Show. We talk about Cher being the Regina George with a heart of gold. Is "Clueless" the 90's teen movie of the decade? Why wasn't Alicia Silverstone the biggest star after this?  All this and more

We stare longingly into Ryan Gosling's eyes for two hours and watch "Drive." Ben and I decided to do a test run of foods we've never done.  Ben made a pie and I had a ringer help me with smoking a brisket.  All this while we discuss "Drive." Who is the scorpion and who is the frog?  Who is really a bad guy? How does Carrie Mulligan pull off a mom haircut? How does the director make everything look so cool like those apartments?

Keith and Ivonne drop by to make arepas, a great Colombian dish paired with botched chicken wings as we talk about "Blow", Colombia and Johnny Depp.

Trick or treat you Mac N Cheese Monsters.  Joel and I make mac n cheese to go along with our viewing of "Mandy."  The enchanted lives of a couple in a secluded forest are brutally  shattered by a nightmarish hippie cult and their demon-biker henchmen,  propelling a man into a spiraling, surreal rampage of vengeance. David Lynch vibes, Nic Cage insanity, chainsaw battles. There is nothing like this one.

A special treat as we interview "Wally Got Wasted" director Adam William Ward.  We talk about how you're not closer to your dream cause  you're on a studio lot everyday, how a 22 day shoot is like method acting and without the brisket nothing happens.

In this episode we talk about Total Recall, Sharon Stone's futuristic fashion, how Arnold is Axl Rose and our best Arnold impressions.

In this episode we talk about "Chef" with Anibel Guevara while having grilled cheese and Cubano sandwiches.  Why does "Chef" mean so much to us? Let us count the ways we love this movie and would we rather Jon Favreau did these kinds of movies instead of "Iron Man" and "Star Wars"?

In this episode we have Philly Cheesesteaks and Royal Blood in honor of Emmy.  We talk about how "Mannequin" holds up today and how inclusive it was in 1987.  Is Jonathan Switcher the most grounded person in the movie?
