The One. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Everything Everywhere All At Once. You guessed it, Home Trees! This week we'll be taking a look at movies that have one thing in common: all of them showcase that gem of the Golden State, sunny Los Angeles! Eh? What's that? Spider-Man is a New Yorker? Well, shoot. I have no idea what ties these movies tog…

Ding dong! Guess who's back for another reunion episode? Hopefully we don't cock it up with our free-swinging discussion. In addition to revealing the movies in next week's main episode, we really turn the knob and get to the root of one very simple truth: we missed our Home Trees and while we may have formally ended the podcast, our love for you w…

What's up, Home Trees! It's us, ya boys! After a long and crazy year, for which we claim no responsibility (wear a mask, people!), we decided to get back together for a reunion show in order to honor one of the greats. We just lost Sean Connery, a true chameleon and a master of the craft. We decided to take a look at the Untouchables, the Hunt for …

Three oafish knaves will sit in a moving domicile, Saying many things and nothing at the same time; Their words will echo o'er the globe, Then go silent. Or maybe they get eaten by a bear, fuck if I know. Thus spake Nostradamus many centuries ago. We usually don't put much stock in soothsayers at More Gooder Than... but ol' Nosty might have been on…

Holy switcheroo, Home Trees! For our final two episodes,we decided to flip the script. We felt that the Goodie Bag was a more proper farewell, so this week you'll get the 'main' ep first! We each brought a movie to the table that we wanted to get on the show, but never managed to squeeze in. Donnie suggested Brick, Chris offered up Road House (for …

He's just a Poe boy, he needs no sympathy! Hey there, Home Trees-- it's our penultimate episode and did we watch some really great movies this week! We took a look at some of the less starwarsy films of Guatemalan hunk of sizzling churrasco Oscar Isaac. Sucker Punch, Ex Machina, and Annihilation all go under the lens for an episode we've cleverly t…

Apologies, Home Trees... when we tried to plan this week's recording time we rolled a natty one. For the first time in the twenty-three years that it feels like we've done the podcast, we just couldn't pull it together. So we dug deep into the archives and pulled out one of our favorite episodes. We'll be back on schedule next week, but for now ple…

The story of Jim Carrey is one of overcoming adversity. As the only albino of the prolific Wayans clan, James Reginald Reuel Carrey was born without bones and only able to speak through his rectum. However... he quickly developed a talent for humor and by the age of twenty had successfully made all of the money! But that wasn't enough. The siren's …

Spring is in the air, Home Trees! You know what that means: time to drive four hours and sit inside a theater with a bunch of other nerds. Chris and Cory regale us with tales of their trip to see a live recording of one of their favorite podcasts! Plus in a truly riveting new segment we quietly watch a teaser trailer and then make some generic comm…

Titanic. Romeo Plus Juliet. Inception. Finally, an ancient bwong is set right as Cory forces Chris to watch two of these movies for the first time, and then we go down one more level where Cory and Chris force Donnie to watch all three of them! Is any of this even real?? Also there's some evil ice and a family feud and a delightfully dickish Billy …

Remember that time when Jim was Asian, causing Dwight no shortage of consternation? Good stuff! Join us this week as we continue discussing the funniest, most touching, and most poignant moments from the revered comedy series. And, to no one's surprise, the results of the Twitter poll came in: Home Trees overwhelmingly voted Scott's Tots as their a…

As was prophesied, Daver the Daverian, The Traveler has come! Choose and perish! Or at least chuckle heartily as we break down Dave Morgan's picks for this week's episode: Foxcatcher and Creed. Whether you like strapping, oiled men grappling with each other, or strapping, oiled men hitting one another... this episode has you covered! Covered like a…

It's not every day that Corporate drops by for a visit-- that's right, Dave Morgan was in the bunker to record with us! The man, the myth, the legend himself. It was kind of a bittersweet recording sesh... Dave wanted to let the Home Trees know that he listens to your opinions and takes them seriously, so he did fire Chris. I guess we'll have that …

Bourne. Reacher. Wick. Now that I've gotten your attention, and probably more than a few of your teeth and bone fragments, get ready for an action tour de force that'll smack you upside the head harder than a rolled-up Time magazine! This week, we reveled in the amazing action flicks The Bourne Supremacy, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, and John Wick:…

Hey, Home Trees! We hope you take pleasure in laser-like focus and precision, because this Goodie Bag is chock full of it! Except not really, owing to the fact that Cory had to mess EVERYTHING up by making plans on our normal recording weekend, thus forcing us to record a week early before our brains had properly re-formed into their normal shapes …

Once in a great while, maybe once in a generation if we're lucky, films come along that change the game and redefine the genre, nay, the very fabric of cinema itself. Then there's "movies" like the ones we watched for this episode: panned at release, forgotten by all but the most twisted of masochists. This week we lament the exactly 4.5 hours we'l…

Hola, Home Trees! Fantastic Goodie Bag for you today, but before I get into that there's something I've been wanting to get off my chest. It seems to me that therATTENTION: WE INTERRUPT THIS DESCRIPTION TO INFORM YOU THAT THIS EPISODE AND ALL SUBSEQUENT EPISODES ARE BROUGHT TO YOU BY SIR DAVE FREAKIN' MORGAN, ESQ. ALL HOME TREES SHALL HENCEFORTH BE…

Jason Mulligan from Range Outdoors returns for the main ep as we tackle two rocky features: Cliffhanger and Vertical Limit! Join us as we mine every crack and crevice of these over-the-top adrenaline fests for comedy gold! It was a little weird having an actual expert (in a relevant field, no less!) on hand, but Jason assures us that these two gems…

Extra special treat this week, Home Trees! You'll get to meet Jason Mulligan from Range Outdoors, our new sponsor! He really ropes us in with a real cliffhanger of a story that will certainly not rappel you! Truly a peak performance from a top-out guy. If you were thinking of taking a pass on this episode... belay that! And enjoy your ascent to the…

Thomas Howeth Presents: More Gooder Than: The Musical:::! This week we honor Fourth Tier Patreon Thomas with his rereward episode, which features the musicals Jesus Christ Superstar, Moulin Rouge, and Across the Universe. Well, ONE of us honors Thomas's picks, while the other two persist in being one hundred percent wrong! Amazing! So pour yourself…

First, it was Vegemite. Now... the Tim Tam Slam! Have our Aussie mates ever steered us wrong? In this week's Goodie Bag we become initiates of the solemn aforementioned ritual, thanks to the expert guidance of Fuzzy Dan, Paris, and the rest of our beloved counterparts in the Upside Down. Plus some really amazing voicemails! We can't think of a bett…

Well, Home Trees... you wanted it, you finally got it! A softer, more sensitive Rickman. From Sheriff of Nottingham to Sheriff of Notting Hill, from Dr. Lazarus to Dr. Loverus, from Hans Gruber to, uh, Glans Luber. Ew, I should have quit while I was ahead. But that's not important right now! After several years of polite suggestions and/or threats …

Don't call it a comeback! We been here for years, rockin' the jeers, puttin' suckas in tears! Happy new year, Home Trees! The hiatus is over, and the group counseling has progressed to the point where we can all be in the same room again without resorting to violence. In this week's episode, we do the utterly unexpected and talk about what we did o…

There comes a time in every relationship when a little spark is needed to rekindle the fire. This MGT Music Episode is the match that will light us up! That’s right: after this song centric show we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming. Sing along with us if you know the words, knowing that each note brings the Hosts more and more out o…

Wow! You’re bearing witness to the last episode of MGT ever...for 2018. Almost got you there, didn’t we? You know as well as anyone we’ll only stop podcasting when the prophesy has been fulfilled. So far, none of the signs have been seen. We’re still on vacation, but like good hosts, we planned ahead and recorded another AMA-esque episode ahead of …

Ho ho hope you're all enjoying the season, Home Trees! We're certainly having fun on our little vacation, but we do have a couple of minisodes lined up to tide you over until we get back to our regular schedule. This week we answer some hard-hitting listener questions that probe deep into our collective psyches! If you think you CAN handle the trut…

You never have friends like the ones you had when you were twelve. Until you hit middle-age and start podcasting and the three of you spend all your time acting as though you were twelve! Also, much like Annette Funicello, our own boobs are starting to grow a bit as we mature. This week we forge lifelong bonds, look at corpses, and finally teach Ch…

Omg, Home Trees: the voicemails this week are probably the funniest we've ever had! Just kidding-- we didn't get any!! It's totally cool, though. YOU JUST DON'T GET TO HAVE CHRISTMAS OR RAMADAN OR SATURNALIA UNTIL WE GET VOICEMAILS! I'm kidding again. Saturnalia is always on the table! But I digress. In addition to not listening to voicemails, we a…

Steve "the Motherflippin'" Galindo knows that none of our Home Trees are melancholy, awkward nerds... so for his second round Patreon episode he wanted to open a window into that world for us to gaze through. And gaze we did, at all the quirky oddness from the mind of Wes Anderson! At the Galindo's behest, we watched the Royal Tenenbaums, the Life …

Those pirate episodes really had you Home Trees swabbin' your decks, didn't they? Why does a nomadic life at sea, taking whatever you want whenever you want, rules be damned, have such an allure? You know what, I see it now. Answered my own question. Speaking of taking you what you want... Morgan and Mike from the Bad Reception podcast did exactly …

The most feared buccaneer to ever sail the seven seas joins us as we plunder and pillage our way to glory! That's right, Home Trees... Calico Steve Galindo of the good ship Kingston came ashore and hung out with us in the temporary bunker at Bakersfield Escape Room! This week we watched Captain Blood, Cutthroat Island, and Pirates of the Caribbean:…

Avast, Home Lubbers! Aye, sure an' we be successful in our piratical endeavors, thanks to our right bonnie crew of Hook-Hand Sarai, Peg-Leg Josh, and One-Eyed Daniel! Never in all our years at sea have we had a scurvier pack of dogs to man the rigging. We also gained an audience with Captain Robert of the good ship Bakersfield Escape Room and bomba…

Happy Samhain, Home Trees! We hope you had a bountiful harvest and are now prepared to face the dark half of the year! To help with that, we've prepared a spooky trio of found footage films guaranteed to make your skin crawl. This week we watched the Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and the Fourth Kind, and then we slept with one eye open …

Exciting opportunity coming up, Home Trees! At least, for those of you who are local and have always harbored a secret desire to watch Chris, Cory, and Donnie bumble their way through intellectual challenges. How, you ask? Listen and find out... and make Room in your schedule on the evening of November first. Come on-- it'll be a good Escape from y…

Kody "Doc" Frederick joins us in the bunker once again, thus cementing his status as official Huckleberry of MGT. This week we have an epic team battle as Wyatt Earp faces down Tombstone! Who's a daisy? Who's no daisy at all? Smokewagons get skinned with reckless abandon when the four of us are Straight Earpin'!Please rate and review us on iTunes.L…

Just like famed Alaskan prospector Wyatt Earp, we strike some serious gold this week. Meaty, greasy, human gold, in the form of Kody from the Dan and Kody podcast! Not only is Kody cleverness personified, he's also quite the investigator... he alone has managed to suss out the secret of Donnie's longevity! Plus we get a triple dose of the lovely Sa…

It's about to get Reel up in this piece, Home Trees! Long-time supporter and all-around awesome white man from town Drew Hallum serves up his second Patreon episode... and we couldn't have planned a better way to kick off October. Pet Sematary, Thinner, and 1408 all get resurrected as we pay homage to the master of modern horror. Hail to the King, …

Busy week for us at MGT: Vegas, the Kern County Fair, Cirque du Soleil, and the Bakersfield Escape Room! Plus we got a new Patreon supporter, in the form a guilt-ridden Brendan from the What Were They Thinking podcast. Thanks, buddy! And not only do we catch a glimpse of the elusive Kody, we get to hear his alluring and beautiful mating call. All t…

We had the time of our wives this week, Home Trees! And we owe it all to you... and by 'you' I mean the Prince of Lies, Brendan from the What Were They Thinking podcast. For this tainted love-inspired episode, we watched Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, and a Walk in the Clouds-- all movies picked by our better halves, two of whom were able to join us …

Awesome Goodie Bag this week, Home Trees! The big mystery is solved... we now know the identity of Valentine from Galaxy of Heroes! Finally, we can lay that ancient conundrum to rest. Plus, we have a guest! Brendan from the What Were They Thinking podcast drops by and gives us a lesson in RANK BETRAYAL OF AN UNFATHOMABLE DEGREE. Super fun!Please ra…

I'm gonna level with you, Home Trees... this week we saw a wrenching trio of movies by legendary director John Carpenter! You know the drill: we axe the hard questions and hammer your mind-brain with awl the pop culture wisdom you can handle! Brace yourselves as we gauge Halloween, They Live, and The Thing in this episode that for some reason we're…

MGT goes AMA in this week's Goodie Bag! All the dry, sterile medical talk you could hope for as we... eh? Not that AMA? Well, fine. Chris and Cory talk dreams, Sasquatch, aliens and more, while Donnie looks out the window hoping to catch another glimpse of that most majestic of cuckoos, the Greater Roadrunner. Plus Chris probably obsesses over sex,…

So damn many Van Dammes! Not content to send us a mere three Jean Claude Van Dammes, Steve and Izzy provided us with SIX. We watched Double Impact, Timecop, and Replicant... and subsequently were exposed to more sick kicks, splits, and finely-sculpted buttocks than we would have thought possible. The incomparable (and at times incomprehensible) JCV…

Good news, Home Trees: we finally figured out the identity of the Mystery Caller! Except that we didn't, as the MC once again mockingly confounded us and made us doubt even ourselves. Fun! Also, Nan drops some mad limericks on the Hotline, which is a thing we have that you should definitely call. And of course we introduce the next full episode, wh…

Hey pips and cool cats, you came to the right wingding! Hosts Chris, Cory, and Donnie bump gums about the movies Dick Tracy, The Rocketeer, and The Shadow. These three Joes thought all three movies were just the bee's knees. The big band jazz and gangster swagger in this episode will blow your wig. All you wheats and tomatoes better take a shot of …

Ho there, Home Trees! An exciting Goodie Bag awaits you today! The mystery caller continues to vex us, sowing seeds of doubt and discord like a demented farmer. Also, a gauntlet gets straight THROWN, yo. X-Minutes man Thomas Howeth drops a bomb-ass dis rap on that fellow from the Dark Knight Minute, who hopefully has plenty of aloe on hand to sooth…

Well, we thought we'd have to go on hiatus for a while, what with the hosts shuffling all over the country this summer. And we were right! Sort of. We managed to find a window to record in, so we'll be back on schedule next week with an all-new episode! In the meantime (and getting back to our original and long-abandoned intent for the Goodie Bags)…

G’day, Home Trees! It’s time to visit the Upside Down once again! Do we have a thing for Aussies, or do Aussies have a thing for MGT? OR IS IT BOTH?! Any way you slice it, Zach (aka Plank from Dungeons & Drongos) was generous enough to become a 4th Tier Patron, and that means he is choosing the movies for this week’s episode. In his infinite wisdom…

And we're back! Feels like about ten thousand years (or two, or between eight and twelve, depending on who you ask) since we were in the bunker! Or left the bunker... or something. The important thing is that we learned nothing and experienced zero growth as human beings! We have a ton of great voicemails and comments from a lot of amazing Home Tre…

Okay Home Trees, rise and shine! And don't forget to teabag an Icee 'cause it's hot as hell out there. Sweet sassy molassy, do we have a real treat in store for you! We took the finest from the bloated "guy-relives-the-same-day-over-and-over-again" genre in order to bring you a truly special episode to thank you all for helping us reach our two yea…
