Happy Canada Month, let's watch Oh, Canada! despite admittedly knowing very little about Canada besides Trailer Park Boys, Letterkenny, Scott Pilgrim, and the film My Winnipeg. But we're hoping that a whole month dedicated to Canada and all of it's movies will change that!
Unfortunately besides being called Oh, Canada, this movie barely takes place in Canada in fact, Jacob Elordi spends most of his dang time right at the border of Canada!
Join us as we unpack Paul Schrader's obsession with miserable men narrating their own existential dread, debate whether digital photography is bad or good, and witness Richard Gere make his grand return to cinema while wearing a adult diapers!

We close out Steven Stinkers with one of his latest stinkers, the BFG. Now we want to mention that The BFG is a silly name. Because compared to other giants, he's actually pretty small. Should be called the LFG to be honest. But that's just a wittle twingy twanger that bothers us. Mark Rylance stars as the BFG and despite being a character that's fully CGI, he does a great performance. That can be attributed to the special effects presented in the movie. The main character, Sophie, goes to giant land and the practical effects mixed with the CGI result in some dazzling scenes. Not enough to dazzle audiences though as this is still a Steven Stinker.
Also Roald Dahl, really loves using silly little idioms, which makes those whole movie just seem a bit silly. YES WE KNOW IT'S FOR KIDS. Grab some snozzcumbers, slap on some heady-phonies, and get ready to take a ride with the Other Half into Giant Country.

Steven is back with a movie about a horse that goes into war. Imagine World War I but through the eyes of a horse. It actually kind of feels like a Disney movie that way it all comes together. That makes sense considering it was distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures so it kind of lines up. Surprisingly a PG-13 movie of this style kind of works even thought WWI was one of the bloodiest wars of all time.
Join us as we unpack a movie that is somehow equal parts Saving Private Ryan and Racing Stripes. One of us suffers in the trenches and the other one complains about the cost of a horse. 30 guineas! What the hell are they?! Doesn't matter enjoy this annoying goose.

We continue our Steven Stinker's month with another one from his collection of flops, 1941! A movie he had made fairly soon after Jaws. Which is a curious choice considering this movie starts with a Jaws visual gag. It's a choice. Just like making a choice to parody 1941 in America. Not always the funniest of times then. You can consider most of these choices to be "funny" ideas on paper, but executed poorly. For example Christopher Lee as a Nazi and Slim Pickins as a California bumpkin stuck in a U-Boat sounds hilarious! But in reality it's kind of odd. Plus don't forget about the literal ninjas featured in the movie.

What's up y'all, Steven Spielberg is in the house with our new month of Steven Stinkers! These are all the movies that the most prolific man in Hollywood made that made the least amount of money. We're starting with the lowest one first, Sugarland Express. To be fair, at this point he wasn't a household name yet, so we can see why it didn't make a lot of money. But quality wise, a "true" story about love and crime starring Goldie Hawn has to at least be entertaining to watch right?

We say goodbye to Mays Days with Byzantium, which is like if Twilight was for emotionally immature adults! Daniel Mays is in this movie as a young man who is down on his luck and just wants to spend 50 quid on a sex act. Luckily the vampire mom and daughter squad take a liking to him and use his house to start a new brothel in this rundown small town. But trouble follows these two vampires played by Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton. Will they be able to get themselves out of the grasp of vampires who hunt vampires!?

Nanny McPhee Returns stars Emma Thompson and is also written by Emma Thompson who apparently loves a cheeky fart joke. Mike says F them kids as they're so mean to our boy Daniel Mays who drives around the rich kids in this movie. Don't worry though, Nanny McPhee is here to whip those kids into shape. Oh also Maggie Gyllenhaal for some reason as the mom?

Mays Days continues with Mr Nobody and more than ever are we regretting our decision. Mr. Nobody follows Nemo Nobody (Jared Leto) as he goes through his memories and all of the different choices he would have made. The movie is meant to be incoherent, but luckily Daniel Mays is there to help set things straight! He plays the "Young Reporter" who interviews Mr Nobody. If you enjoy listening to the boys suffer trying to grasp a plot, this is an episode for you!

Okay so we're starting something strange. We're going to be dedicating a whole month to looking at Daniel Mays, the character actor, and seeing where his career takes us. We did something similar with Barbera Streisand and it turned out to be a lot of fun, but what about someone that not a lot of people have heard about? We start off with a Chris Columbus movie, The Thursday Murder Club starring Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan as old retirees who go around solving cold case murders.

For our final Rom Com month movie, we watch a recent film called Regretting You. It's about two lover who well... actually you know it's best if you don't know at all what happens before listening to this podcast because it gets WEIRD.

Say Anything is a classic romance movie with the famous boombox scene. But we never knew anything else about the movie. We thought it could end up being another one of those poorly aged John Hughes movies, but Cameron Crowe actually pulled off something significantly less problematic. In fact there's a massive subplot about the protagonist's dad ripping off old people? How many kisses does it deserve tho?

Runaway Bride is a romantic comedy that is a real trip. What if they used the same cast as Pretty Woman and made it about a bad columnist and just a small town woman who can't stop running away from this mid-as-hell men! Most importantly, the Virtual Boy makes an appearance.

Four Weddings and a Funeral is like a Rom Com for the apathetic Gen X generation. It feels similar to Saint Elmo's fire, but stars a group of friends who are not so miserable. The movie follows a group of friends, with Hugh Grant in the center, and takes places around these five entirely life changing events. It's an interesting concept, but how does it work in practice?

Welcome to Rom Com month! We're kicking this off with Shakespeare in Love. A movie that won Best Picture back when it was released because Harvey Weinstein poured a ton of money into promoting it. Or is it actually because it's a good movie? Ethan and Mike take a look at the period piece to see how it holds up.

Ethan got Gran Turismo, a video game movie, into racing month?! He sure did and to his surprise, it's very very similar to F1, but with a key difference. It's actually based off a true story. Orlando Boom and David Harbour star in this epic tale of a kid who learned how to drive real race cars based on a video game. Oh excuse me it's not a video game, it's a racing simulator.

Oh boy, a talking animal movie counts as a racing movie? Of course it does! Racing Stripes stars Frankie Muniz as a Zebra who thinks he's a race horse. He finds a found family at a ranch after he was abandoned from a Circus. These wild group of characters include Hayden Panettiere, Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg, Mandy Moore, Steve Harvey, David Spade, Snoop Dogg, Joe Pantoliano, Jeff Foxworthy, Michael Clarke Duncan and yeah I think that's enough. Hayden Panettiere is a person tho, not an animal. Anyway this episode went of the rails real quick when we started talking about horse breeding.

Chariots of Fire marks when Oscar season bleeds into our new month all about racing movies! This movie won Best Picture in 1982, but Mike's dad said the movie was just about a bunch of guys racing. Is this movie based on a true story about how two guys brought glory to England through running in the Olympic games actually good? Or is this another Crash, Green Book, or Driving Miss Daisy.

ZOOM ZOOM It's F1 time! Dad movies are back in the Oscars!! A script written by AI, shallow characters, mediocre cinematography, and Brad Pitt phoning it in, we're ready to unpack one of the biggest movies of the year. It's also the last movie we're watching for Oscar month. Though I know this is technically in March. This movie IMO felt like I knocked off Avatar 3 from being nominated as the "crowd favorite", but which is more deserving of an Oscar nomination?

The Secret Agent is a movie about the dictatorship in Brazil, similar to I'm Still Here from last year, that's often funny, irreverent, but at the same time has heart and throws pretty dark. We follow a man who is going by a secret identity and we learn more about his past as the movie continues on. This is also the most confusing second half of a movie Ethan has ever seen. So if you're into the boys solving a mystery (that's obvious for anyone watching a film normally) you're going to enjoy this episode!
