Kevin and Cody think about things too much. Then they talk to each other. Cody over analyzes sociopolitical trends in modern culture while Kevin sniffs his fingers and tells ridiculous jokes. When not podcasting, Kevin and Cody make livings as bio hazard cleanup engineers. They are socially inept and terrified of technology. They both like boy bands with chick singers. When eating at restaurants, Kevin will order the calamari and Cody will get the veggie sub with bacon and lemonade.

I watched the original Deadpool back as a home video rental back in 2016 for my third annual movie month - the first year I turned it into a podcast. Two years later, I saw Deadpool 2 in the theater for my 2018 movie month. After six years, Deadpool returns - now part of the Marvel Universe (sorta kinda, technically) and with his biggest movie yet.…

And so, once again we end movie month with an epic tale directed by Martin Scorsese. The last time we did that was back in 2020, and this time even though Scorsese is working with Robert De Niro again, this is a very different De Niro character than we've seen in the past - though one that might even be scarier than the ones he's most famous for (n…

Tomorrow, it's all over. Movie month is done. Tomorrow. But tonight!? Tonight we party with Bella Baxter! I knew this movie would be weird and wild and bonkers and fun - but it was even more so than I expected. Do not watch this with any kids in the room. Do no watch this with any older relatives in the room. But do watch it. Do.…

I am angry with myself for not seeing this movie on opening night and then watching it every night of my life since then. Loved this movie so much! During this episode, I talk a bit about my own time making movies, including this short film I shot back in college almost 30 years ago. I got an A on the movie - and this movie gets an A+ from me....…

The show notes for today's movie were written on a touchscreen keyboard on a Google Pixel phone, running Android. And although I did not use a physical keyboard, there is no doubt in my mind that I owe the invention of the BlackBerry to the face that I can write a post with my tired thumbs. Oh and thanks to the BlackBerry, I was able to watch a rea…

Let's get this out of the way up front. This is not a good movie - not even as good as it's predecessor. The difference between this and say, some other movie that featured dinosaurs, is that I think this knew that going in. I'm not 100% certain about that though, because if they did maybe they would have turned things up a bit more? Still shocked …

Is Movie Month possessed? This isn't the first movie dealing with the devil this month - and I am contemplating whether or not it is the last! When I first heard about this movie, I had very little expectations for it - but boy oh boy was I happily wrong about that. I’d heard since its release how much people have enjoyed it and apparently I’m one …

And with today's movie, I have not completed the Jurassic World trilogy, and - oh wait, they already announced another one? Great. Well, not to spoil things too much - but it has to be better than what I watched today, right? Oh it doesn't....Double great. (Please be advised that the host of today's podcast and the writer of these notes used the wo…

The next time I order an ice coffee I am going to say, "Please add cream." And if they ask if I want any sweetener, I'll say - "Yes. Equalize it." I thought of that while I still have 30 minutes left in this awesome movie, so I paused it - and came here to write that. Worth it!!! Okay, I finished the movie - loved it. Not sure I still like my coffe…

You may be asking yourself - wait a second, this guy's never seen Donnie Darko? And of course the answer to your hurtful question is, of course not! I would never break the sacred rules of movie month by discussing a movie I've never seen before. Then the question is, did he watch the original theatrical cut or the director's cut. And the answer to…

Today's episode is brought to you my Fine Movies. Fine Spirits. co-host, Chris. Every year I try to take at least one suggestion from him and this year I - finally - watched one he's been after me for a while to watch. And now I have. What did I think about it? Well hell, you're going to have to listen to the full episode to find out. Now that's a …

Come with me, and you'll be in what might be my favorite movie so far this month. I don't know if it was the "best" movie but I am fairly certain it's the one I enjoyed the most - and isn't that really what matters? Sometimes a movie has lots of things I enjoy, but a few things that leave my head scratching or my eyes rolling. Not this movie. I thi…

As much as I'm a sucker for the Insidious movies, I'm even more so for the Conjuring movies. They're not all gems, but I like how they all seem to connect in one way or another. Today I watched a movie that is a direct sequel to the original "The Nun" that I can't believe I watched all the way back in 2019. Now the Nun is back! And Nunnier than eve…

Let it roll, baby roll! Tonight I am watching my 7th Jake Gyllenhaal movie. My first one since - well, last year - and probably (definitely) not my last one this year. Tonight I watched Jake in the remake of the Patrick Swayze...."classic?" Road House. Is this the first time Jake Gyllenhaal and Patrick Swayze have ever been thought about together? …

Growing up, Godzilla was was that monster (sometimes friend, sometimes foe) on WLVI's "Creature Double Feature" on Saturday afternoons. Then in the 90s, Hollywood tried to make a big budget version of him that was terrible. In the most recent years they've improved with the whole "Monsterverse" thing that they have going with King Kong. But in all …

Wrestling is real. Wrestling is real, and I love it. It's a real as the novel you read, the play you attend, the television drama you DVR, or the movie you stream or watch in the theater. It ist heater. But for some it is their life. For the Von Erichs, wrestling was their everything. Until it wasn't. This movie seems almost too sad to be true - an…

Tonight I close a chapter in the world of comic book movies. Is it a chapter that is fully closed for good? Probably, but will we ever see this actor and this character on a screen in a DC movie again? I think the chances are pretty good - even if the character is being played by someone new...And the actor is someone different. It's not confusing …

Apparently, I love Patrick Wilson. Not only have I been a fan of all the Conjuring movies, but I also have now watched all of the Insidious films. I enjoy them all for what they are. These aren't high art, and some are better than others, but they know how to make a small horror movie with some fun jump scares. If they keep making them, I'll keep w…

Welcome back comic book nerds! I finally am catching up with all the Marvel movies and, while there have been varying levels of success of quality in some of the most recent batch, I can pleasantly say that this one was a home run for me. As much as I enjoyed this one, I hope I like James Gunn's next movie even more so....but today is not about tha…

For most of the last two decades, Marvel has ruled the box office. Things have cooled off a bit more recently, but they are still the kings of comic book movies. Me? I've always been more of a DC guy for two main reasons. Of of those reasons wears a red cape and the other one dresses as a bat. They're the reason I have a DC Comics Ultimate Ultra Su…

In June 2014, I accepted a mission. A mission that I made up for myself where I would watch a movie every single day and podcast (or back then, blog) about it. Part of that mission was so I could finally watch movie series that I keep hearing about but never got around to starting. This was one of those series - and I am so glad that I started watc…

Come on, Barbie, let's go podcast....Welcome back, fellow nerds! It's Sunday. It's day two, and today I am completing the Barbenheimer duology - watching the two biggest movies from 2023 back to back. Big shout out to my niece who graduates from 8th grade today! Next year she is going to my alma mater and hopefully she can make our name cool again.…

Hello fellow cool kids, and welcome back to MOVIE MONTH! Can you believe it? This is my 11th year of watching 30 movies in 30 days and now the ninth year of doing 30 podcast episodes. Did you miss it as much as I did? I'll just assume you said yes to save my some tears. I decided to start this one off with a bang, get it? I'll probably use that sam…

There really was only one way for this whole thing to end, wasn't there. If I was going to do a "MARCHY McFLY 4" then I think I had to tell the story of Back to the Future Part IV - or at least what I think it could be. Some parts are more flushed out than others - but in the end I think I put together something kind've fun. You both listen and wat…
