This week we sing the praises of Jacques Demy's 1964 classic "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg." And even though every line of dialogue is sung in the movie, I promise we abandon the idea of fully singing the podcast pretty quickly.
In addition to discussing the quintessential film on young love, Riddy and Tom also talk about: X-Men '97; Cher; Friend of the Podcast Wes Anderson; first loves; best movie umbrellas; mustaches; and the appeal of alleys.

In addition to discussing the popular biopic, Riddy and Tom also talk about: the 2024 Oscars, burgers, Big Green Eggs, free speech, foreign languages we wish we could speak, and cunnilingus!

Life in plastic, it's fantastic...because today we're talking about 2023's Barbie, and specifically Ken and Allen. Must listen, if for nothing else, Tom and Riddy figuring out what Ken dolls they would be.
In addition to talking about this subversive Greta Gerwig classic, Tom and Riddy also discuss: the Super Bowl, songs they didn't understand as kids, brain worm movie lines, and Tom's favorite movie, "The Squid and the Whale."

When you find a flaw in the world, you need to try and fix it. So when Riddy learned Tom hadn't seen Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" from 1954, he knew he had to make things right.
In addition to discussing this all-timer, the hosts also discuss: Michael Stipe; David Carradine's flirting skills; job advice; personalized battle flags; our first intellectual property; and A SAD MAN FANTASY DRAFT!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching so we decided to get in the mood by watching Wong Kar-Wai's 2000 film, "In The Mood For Love."
You know this is a sad movie but we had a good time talking about it because, in addition to discussing stifled romance, we also discuss: startling revelations about one of the hosts; this film's connection to a previously covered movie on the podcast; memories; books we hate; and noodles!

Even for a sad-man-movie podcast, Akira Kurosawa's "Ikiru" from 1952 is really, really sad! But that doesn't mean we didn't have a good time talking about it.
In this episode, Riddy and Tom talk about the continuing relevance of this Japanese classic; saddest karaoke songs; $3,850 hedonistic binges; the similarities between "Ikiru" and "Parks and Recreation"; Immaculate Grids; personal public works projects; and hats!
Surprise, everybody! Tom finally relented and you can now follow us on Instagram @cheerupbuddypod.

Travel back to 1960 with Tom and Riddy via "The Apartment."
Jack Lemmon is a sad man, and the hosts discuss the new year, film making, boys (rickshaw and otherwise), bosses they'd let borrow their bedrooms, Billy Wilder's life, shooting cars into space and the sad state of American theater.

Riddy and Tom finally did it. They discussed an MCU movie. It's set during Christmastime, so we used that as an excuse to talk about "Iron Man 3."
This is probably the least sad-man movie covered so far on the podcast, and that made the hosts so sad they end up recounting their recent travels; the state of the MCU; AOL instant messenger; celebrity math skills; historical figures in Iron Man suits; a Twin Peaks aside; properly setting expectations; and NDA-breaking thruple discussion.

The most wonderful time of the year can often be the saddest time, too. So our first episode for December is the holiday classic, "It's A Wonderful Life."
Despite the cheery title, this is a pretty sad film. So while we touch on the topics of suicide and financial ruin, we also discuss the feared communist message in the story; Iguana Jesus; time traveling former presidents; high-waisted pants; the conversation rate of Wakandan dollars in Bedford Falls; and the futility of planning one's future.

We continue our self-indulgent Birthday Month choices and Tom really went with it for his choice with possibly the most self-indulgent film of all-time: Federico Fellini's "8 1/2" from 1963.
Obviously we discuss all the arty and/or pretentious things in this film, but we also veer off into discussing Spider-Man 2, Mad Men, and the creative process! Is that not enough for you? Well, you're in luck, because we also talk about interesting topics such as harems, the origins of sexual attractions, autobiographies, and fitted suits. Oh, and dreams!

It's November and that means it's Birthday Month for Riddy and Tom. So instead of another theme month, we're gifting ourselves some of our favorite sad man movies. First up is Riddy's choice: Wes Anderson's "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" from 2004.
We tried to only have deadpan discussions, but we couldn't keep up the expressionless dialogue while we talked about the Wes Anderson oeuvre; favorite ages; intellectual property legal advice; Tom Jones; sports (no, really); Zissou fashion; and soundtracks for our lives.

Did Tom beg Riddy to do a boo-boo-bonus episode so he could go on a nerdy, Disney rant? Who's to say?
But I can tell you that in this episode, they talk about the most contemporary movie they've covered so far on the pod: 2023's "Haunted Mansion." In addition to, ahem, "critiquing" the movie, they also discuss the trip they took together to Disneyland; "ghost winks;" and recount their first experiences with existential dread.

We kick off our spooky, sad man October episodes with the horror comedy "What We Do In The Shadows" from 2014. In addition to the inevitable movie versus television show debate, Riddy and Tom also examine whether vampires are sad, sexy, or sexy because they're sad; discuss Tom's past foray into writing erotica; have a boring side conversation they were too lazy to cut out of the episode; and guess how happy New Zealand really is.

In this episode, Riddy gives an in-depth description on what it's like living in Japan, and translates a portion of Sofia Coppola's 2003 "Lost in Translation" for Tom's lazy gaijin ass. We also discuss the time Tom thought he was going to die in an airport, all-time great movie soundtracks, and final goodbyes.
