The Summer of Greer has one more episode before we move onto the First Day of School of Greer. Is it another installment in a sprawling sci-fi franchise? Yes. Is JG a mom? Yes. Does she, as we hoped, get the best role we're see all summer? What I can tell you is that "A Fish Called Selma" is the nineteenth episode of the decent season of The Simpso…

The Summer of Greer marches on, hurrah hurrah! Another mid-2010s big budget action movie, another underwritten mom role for Judy Greer. Reg and Patrick have the dubious honor of digging into the MCU with 2015's Ant-Man. Gabe Powers from Genre Grinder makes a special appearance as the wise comic book expert who provides the necessary exposition for …

Fun fact: this is the third movie we have covered so far where Judy Greer plays a Karen. Not a Karen-Karen, just a mom named Karen. Well, she might be a Karen-Karen; we don't get enough information about her, for all we know there's a version of the script out there where she's writing a hate-filled screed on Facebook about transgender GMO dinosaur…

The year was 2015, and Judy Greer's film career saw her journeying through the Land of Big-Budget Franchise Movies. Reg and Patrick are setting the air conditioner on high and expectations on low for a mini-series we are calling The Summer of Greer. Brad Bird's theme-park-turned-two-hour-family-friendly-action film Tomorrowland taught that scientif…

We did it again! But... wait. Did we? What if we didn't? What if we did something else? What if we did something so long ago that, sitting here today, I can't even remember the names of one of the things, but we pretended like it was just done yesterday? And what if Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was set in a dystopian future and the main character was a …

Choo-choo movie nerds, The 15:17 to Paris is leaving the station! Legit question for listening Americans: how do Reg and Patrick abide the 88-94 year old director who fills their TV with 94 minutes of military propaganda while their small audience awaits their opinions? Can a mostly forgotten Trump-era Clint Eastwood movie share anything in common …

Our wife told us not to record this podcast. But Reg and Patrick are back to offend everyone and ask the tough questions about BARRY MUNDAY, a typical Boy-Loses-Testicles-and-Forgets-He-Met-Girl comedy, such as: Has there ever been an actually funny scene set at a support group? Will 96 Greers become a Patrick Wilson fancast? Can one third of the s…

In February, we asked a deeply inane question: What Do Women Want? In March, we asked an even more inane question: What Do Children Want? Two dozen episodes into Judy Greer's filmography, and we have yet to cover a work aimed specifically at children (unless you count Rusty's Learning to Listen: Part 8). As a pair of childless film snobs who find t…

Prepare your earholes, because 96 Greers is coming in hot with a Lemon party. Reg and Patrick bare it all: their feelings on 2017 dark comedy Lemon, director Janicza Bravo's other work (including 2020 Twitter-plotted sensation Zola), and the use of unlikable characters and cringey situations to create comedy. After exploring multiple positions, the…

Holy sibling rivalry Batman, it's another mumblecore episode! Well, it's a Duplass Brothers episode. Perhaps those two descriptors aren't quite as interchangeable as Patrick and Reg had assumed.

This episode is being published a little late, but don't worry, we weren't giving you the Shaft.
