The Devil Wears Prada 1:54:49

2+ y ago1:54:49

1:54:49

All hail the Ice Queen herself, Miranda Priestly. Eden and Sam take a pleasant but surprisingly critical look at a beloved (but flawed) movie from 2006: 'The Devil Wears Prada.' It goes without saying that this picture is packed with talent: Emily Blunt as the charmingly snarky coworker, Stanley "The Tooch" Tucci as the welcome voice of reason, and…

Judge Dredd 1:51:52

2+ y ago1:51:52

1:51:52

I AM THE LAW! And frankly, this movie should be illegal. The sibs are back this week with a look at another odd comic book adaptation: 1995's 'Judge Dredd.' Schlock and spandex and not-so-sly Sly one-liners make this an unfortunate flop. But the sibs have found a few glimpses of a silver lining: Eden loves the costuming, and Sam loves Diane Lane. C…

Super Mario Bros. (1993) 1:29:28

2+ y ago1:29:28

1:29:28

Holy Dennis Hopper, people! The sibs are back on track this week with this truly deplorable turd monster: 1993's 'Super Mario Bros.' Eden and Sam do not recommend watching this; save some time and tune in here for some happy trash talk! Despite having a killer cast, the shoddy directing and bananas writing destroy what could have been a cute kids m…

CURVEBALL! The Wizard 1:29:24

2+ y ago1:29:24

1:29:24

It's a first for SRMB! The sibs couldn't get their sh*t together to watch the intended movie for this week ('Super Mario Bros.'), so in a rare one-off -- a curveball -- please enjoy a Mario-adjacent movie: 1989's 'The Wizard.' Mountains of nostalgia prevent any sort of objective review, but revisiting the premiere of Super Mario Bros. 3 proved to b…

Warcraft 1:54:26

2+ y ago1:54:26

1:54:26

Woof, get ready for a real doozy. This week, the sibs tackle a film from Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son!): 2016’s 'Warcraft.' Sure, it aesthetically looks like the video game. Sure, the human characters aren't remotely as interesting as the CG Orcs. And sure, the editing causes whiplash. All those reasons (and many more unlisted) make this a perfe…

Whale Rider 1:30:23

2+ y ago1:30:23

1:30:23

Wrap yourself in a blanket and grab an arsenal of tissue paper; this week the siblings have a heartfelt chat about Eden's favorite movie: 2002’s 'Whale Rider.' Niki Caro directs this beautiful New Zealand-based heart wrencher, and both Eden and Sam bawled their damn eyes out. Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for…

Death at a Funeral (2007) 1:12:46

2+ y ago1:12:46

1:12:46

Hold onto your valium, and avoid falling caskets, people. This week, the sibs cover a delightful little romp, Frank Oz's 2007's 'Death at a Funeral.' Hosting an ensemble cast of the highest caliber, this movie spurred a handful of remakes -- one of which includes (Eden's boyfriend) Peter Dinklage as the same role that he plays in this film. Honorab…

Knives Out 1:27:10

2+ y ago1:27:10

1:27:10

Get ready for a healthy dose of eleven herbs and spices, because this week the sibs (and a near silent studio guest) chat about Daniel Craig's bonkers southern drawl in 2019's 'Knives Out.' One thing is clear: the sibs love Rian Johnson, and this picture is just as worthy, interesting, funny, charming, eclectic, and clever as his other films. While…

Venom: Let There be Carnage 2:09:52

2+ y ago2:09:52

2:09:52

Boy oh boy, have we got ourselves a real funky treat this week. Eden and Sam tackle the second film of the so-called SSMU (no one calls it that), 2021's 'Venom: Let There be Carnage.' This is the most recent movie that they've reviewed -- and there is a lot of talk on other recent movies -- so please welcome this very emphatic SPOILER ALERT. Andy S…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 2:57:30

2+ y ago2:57:30

2:57:30

Well, we really did it this time, nerds! This week, Eden, Sam and friend of the fam/friend of the pod Kwame wrap up the Spin-off Series with the final film of the LOTR series: 2003's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.' Join in on the ultimate round of their favorite game, Where's Frodo? -- and play along with a new game, How Many Times…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2:22:49

2:22:49

Gladryl? Gland drill? Galandrielle? Listen up, nerds! This week, Eden, Sam and friend of the fam/friend of the pod Kwame continue the Spin-off Series with the second film in the franchise: 2002's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.' Kwame defends his favorite film of the trilogy; Sam bellows a funeral dirge; Eden disrespects Middle Earth more a…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2:40:04

2+ y ago2:40:04

2:40:04

One doesn't simply walk into a Spin-off Series. The most frequently pitched SRMB movie has finally made its way into the rotation, and you know what that means... LOTR, nerds! This week, Eden, Sam and friend of the fam/friend of the pod Kwame review the epic to end all epics: 2001's 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.' Sam provides …

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story 1:40:25

2+ y ago1:40:25

1:40:25

Punch it, Alan Tudyk! This week, Eden and Sam cover a great one -- the first of the Star Wars inbetweeners -- 2016's 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.' Sure, maybe we didn't need to know how or why the Death Star has an oopsy explosion button, but it was a gorgeous and touching tale nonetheless. Does emailing an attachment play a significant role in t…

Get Him to the Greek 1:30:25

2+ y ago1:30:25

1:30:25

It hasn't happened since way back in episode five with 'Sucker Punch,' but this week the sibs take opposite sides while reviewing one of Eden's favorite movies (hot take reserved): 2010's 'Get Him to the Greek.' Is it true that in 2010 the market was oversaturated with Russell Brand? Yes. Is it true that this movie has an expected Stoller/Segel/Apa…

The Wedding Singer 1:52:09

2+ y ago1:52:09

1:52:09

Grab your leg warmers and hairspray, and get ready for some ass-grabbin'. This week, the sibs review a 90's movie masquerading as an 80's movie: 'The Wedding Singer.' A regular watch for Sam, and a happy revisit for Eden, this movie's charm lies in the chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. Honorable mentions go to Ellen Albertini Dow, …

So I Married an Axe Murderer 1:42:31

2+ y ago1:42:31

1:42:31

It's another certified Robards Classic! This week, the sibs gleefully cover what is now a '90s cult phenom: 1993's 'So I Married an Axe Murderer.' For those sweet babes not around in the '90s, this was Mike Myers before Austin Powers, in a regular guy romantic comedy role. Quotability is at an all time high. And besides a very charming performance …

Congo 1:43:20

2+ y ago1:43:20

1:43:20

IT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED. The sibs have threatened to review this movie for the past 28 episodes, and here it is... a certified Robards Classic, 1995's 'Congo.' The gleam from this diamond is truly blinding. The accent game is fierce in this schlocky gorilla fever dream: Ernie Hudson's magnificent accent, Tim Curry's ridiculous accent, Laura Linney's…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! Jurassic Park 3 1:35:19

2+ y ago1:35:19

1:35:19

The return of Dr. Alan Grant has the sibs absolutely delighted. This week, Sam and Eden wrap up their latest Spin-off Series with 2001's 'Jurassic Park 3.' While not perfect, director Joe Johnston really steps up to show Steven Spielberg how to make a Steven Spielberg movie. Honorable mentions go to: the new bad guy in town Spinosaurus, Stan Winsto…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! The Lost World: Jurassic Park 1:34:49

2+ y ago1:34:49

1:34:49

Well, that was unfortunate. This week, Sam and Eden begrudgingly review the embarrassing sequel to 'Jurassic Park': 1997's 'The Lost World.' If you haven't seen this movie, thank your lucky stars, because -- oof -- it's a real pile of triceratops droppings. All the ridiculous nonsense aside, it's a super fun episode, and the sibs gleefully hate-wat…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! Jurassic Park 2:02:33

2:02:33

Hold on to your butts, because the sibs are throwing it back to a certified Robards Classic this week with their excitable review of 1993's classic, 'Jurassic Park.' Spoiler: if you haven't seen this movie, or don't like this movie, we can't be friends anymore....them's the rules. Tune in for bad readings of all your favorite lines, an exploration …

Predator 1:35:40

2+ y ago1:35:40

1:35:40

How many bad Arnold impressions can you handle?! The sibs are bringing the heat this week with their bombastic review of 1987's muscle-mania jungle thriller, 'Predator.' Sam declares this amazingly quotable action-packed mania to be "a perfect movie." Hot take by Sam, or do you agree? In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches …

1
The Invisible Man (2020) 2:13:43

2+ y ago2:13:43

2:13:43

Happy Halloween, everyone! We've got a fun one this week (yes, a long one, but fun still) with 2020's 'The Invisible Man.' The sibs don't hate it, but there is some logic to be scrutinized. For example: how and when does this invisible man go to the bathroom? How does this guy not know about his girlfriend's hot cop friend? And, most importantly, d…

Van Helsing 1:54:10

3y ago1:54:10

1:54:10

Ready for a Good-Bad watch? Well, this might not be it. The sibs review the 2004 schlocky accent-fest, 'Van Helsing.' Between the insane scene chewing and the, frankly, offensive costuming, this movie is a real collection of "What the hell is going on here?" moments. There are a few positives: Alan Silvestri's triumphant score and a classic black a…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! Scream 3 1:29:22

3y ago1:29:22

1:29:22

Are you tired of scary movies? A resounding YES. Woof, the final installment of the 'Scream' Spin-off Series truly melted their brains in this punch-drunk episode. The shit-talking chatter is fun and silly, and ultimately the sibs recommend not watching 'Scream 3,' and instead listening to this episode. It's for your own good. In the second and fin…

1
SPIN-OFF SERIES! Scream 2 2:02:55

3y ago2:02:55

2:02:55

Do you STILL like scary movies? After this week, definitely not. But the 'Scream' Spin-off Series continues with a long look at the second in the franchise. Ever wondered what happens when a script has to be rewritten quickly? Have a listen and learn, babes. In this episode, the sibs cover a lot of ground: from dead doppelgängers to unimaginative m…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! Scream 2:06:36

3y ago2:06:36

2:06:36

Do you like scary movies? Historically, no. But the sibs have a stellar time revisiting the 1996 horror-comedy classic, 'Scream.' In the inimitable words of Bill Hader's Stefon: "This movie has everything: greasy bangs, femmebot nips, and an alpaca Taylor Lautner." A long episode, for sure, but an excellent introduction to SRMB's second Spin-off Se…

Hobo with a Shotgun 1:36:42

3y ago1:36:42

1:36:42

It's a pretty darn adorable blood bath this week, as the sibs dig into 2011's homage to the grindhouse genre, 'Hobo with a Shotgun.' Having started as a kitschy trailer in Tarantino and Rodriguez's 'Grindhouse,' this movie is all grown up and fleshed out. Bad special effects and goofy Canadian accents contrast some truly amazing work by Rutger Haue…

Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood 1:06:49

3y ago1:06:49

1:06:49

Holy nostalgia-baiting homage, Batman! This week, Eden defends Quentin Tarantino's 2019's 'Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood.' Hot topics: the Wilhelm Scream, Leo's dominance over Brad, and how this alternate timeline is a real banger. Sam is... not a fan, but the sibs can agree that the bloody schlock-fest final fight scene is worth the wait. In th…

Galaxy Quest 1:31:29

3y ago1:31:29

1:31:29

Aaaaand they're back! This week, the sibs take a very joyful look at 1999's 'Galaxy Quest.' A truly all-star cast and an appreciation of fandom make this a must-watch. This week's debate: Alan Rickman's stellar legacy vs. Sigourney Weaver's rockin' bod (*hint: you can't lose). In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three mo…

War of the Worlds (2005) 1:23:50

3y ago1:23:50

1:23:50

It's our fault -- our bad. This week, Eden and Sam revisit a Tom Cruise Razzie nominated picture, 2005's 'War of the Worlds.' Boy, what a bummer for Spielberg... but more importantly for the sibs for having to watch this a second time. Plot holes, alien inconsistencies, bad Foghorn Leghorn impressions, and a special pair of bootcut jeans keeps the …

1
The Mummy (2017) 1:57:15

3y ago1:57:15

1:57:15

Well, it's no 'Congo.' This week, the sibs utterly decimate the Tom Cruise box office bomb, 'The Mummy' from 2017. Universal's The Dark Universe was born (and subsequently died) with this monster movie, and between the nonsensical writing, miscast men, and unclear magical powers, there's a lot to say about very little substance. In the second and f…

Spider-Man 3 1:21:58

3y ago1:21:58

1:21:58

This week, fresh off a lot of pirate talk, the sibs review a real bummer of a comic book movie: Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man 3.' From emo hair and bad teeth, to treacherous relationships and a confused Thomas Haden Church, this movie provides a lot of food for thought. Wowsers -- a true Worst Third, indeed. In the second and final segment of the show, S…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End 1:50:12

3y ago1:50:12

1:50:12

Success! Eden and Sam wrap up the first spin-off series for SRMB with the third installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies: At World's End. What a doozy, folks. This movie is lousy with hack jokes, rambling plot, underserved characters, and cultural appropriation. But silver linings can be found! Shouts to the ILM special FX, the immaculate…

SPIN-OFF SERIES! Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest 1:37:07

3y ago1:37:07

1:37:07

What fortuitous circumstance be this! This week, Eden and Sam dive into the second episode of the three-part mini-series on the Pirates of the Caribbean movies: the best one! It's a straight-up lovefest for Bill Nighy the Pirate Guy as Davy Jones who is, quite clearly, the hero of this franchise. Dead Man's Chest truly can't be topped when it comes…

1:34:16

Annnnnd you got yourselves a Spin-off Series, people. This week, Eden and Sam dive into the first episode of the three part mini-series on the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (don't worry, they will graciously skip the fourth and fifth flicks). Listen up for the origin stories of such new classics as 'Upside Down Mouth' and 'Hot Shit Pirate Ship.' …

Best in Show 1:06:19

3y ago1:06:19

1:06:19

Well, we finally did it. Eden and Sam go off the rails this week while discussing Christopher Guest's mockumentary 'Best in Show.' This week's episode is not as contentious as it might seem, but the sibs do have differing opinions on this classic ensemble film. Tune in for a lot of dog talk...and almost anything that isn't 'Best in Show.' In the se…

Where the Wild Things Are 1:18:49

3y ago1:18:49

1:18:49

This week, Eden and Sam revisit a family favorite, Spike Jonze's 2009 XL puppet extravaganza 'Where the Wild Things Are.' Some takeaways: main dude Max is an ungrateful punk, Catherine Keener is a goddamn hero (but has terrible taste in men), and Ira is the undisputed Best Wild Thing in the universe. If you're playing 'Did Eden Cry?' go ahead and p…

Stand By Me 1:30:01

3y ago1:30:01

1:30:01

This week, Eden and Sam take a gander at a classic -- Rob Reiner's 1986 coming of age story, 'Stand By Me.' The Sibs fully admit to knowing little to nothing about the Stephen King Universe, but they fully explore what this movie should have been called: daddy issues. In the second and final segment of the show, Sam blind pitches three movies about…

Trollhunter 1:28:36

3y ago1:28:36

1:28:36

This week, Eden and Sam critically assess the 2010 found footage adventure, 'Trollhunter.' Writer/Director André Øvredal creates classic monster movie with a twist (and some awesomely goofy CG creations). And in a totally temperate take.... Eden and Sam like it a LOT. In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind pitches three teen advent…

Life of Pi 1:30:03

1:30:03

This week, Eden and Sam critically assess Ang Lee's 2012 eyeball feast, 'Life of Pi.' The Sibs delve into the cons of 3D movies (are there pros?), the bum rap for Ang Lee's 'Hulk,' and a joyful lovefest for Irrfan Khan. Don't forget to take a shot every time Eden says "heartbreaking" (enjoy the buzz). In the second and final segment of the show, Sa…

Sucker Punch 1:16:17

1:16:17

This week, Eden and Sam critically assess the cringeworthy 2011 Zack Snyder blunder, 'Sucker Punch.' Ooof magoof, is this one a trash fire. The Sibs examine the dreams-within-a-dream-with-a-dream framework, and show some love for a truly badass Abbie Cornish. Honorary Mention for Oscar Isaac! In the second and final segment of the show, Eden blind …

Hey, everybody! This is a podcast where a brother/sister duo discuss movies from their parents' basement. You know, like grown-ups do. This week, Eden and Sam critically assess the 2018 puppet dumpster fire 'The Happytime Murders.' The consensus in a word: oof.
