Episode 369: You Hurt My Feelings

Posted on by Aaron White.

This week we enjoy taking a break from blockbusters to talk about how a 90-minute movie centered on exploring honesty in relationships could be so relatable, thought-provoking, and entertaining despite its seeming simplicity. We get into some personal examples, as well, so this is one of the episodes where you’ll get to know us better through the conversation.

Episode 367: The Spectacular Now

Posted on by Aaron White.

A largely underrated gem in A24’s catalog, this coming-of-age story is among the most natural we’ve ever seen, with an authenticity to its characters and dialogue that make it heartbreakingly and beautifully relatable. We chat about teenage alcoholism, keeping secrets from your children, and what it means to live in the moment, among other things, in this conversation.

Episode 363: Air

Posted on by Aaron White.

This week we are joined by Paul Keelan and Jordan Puga from the Cinematic Underdogs Podcast to discuss Ben Affleck’s story of how Nike got into the basketball business by way of an industry-changing partnership with Michael Jordan. We questions whether this can even be considered a sports movie, talk about the romanticizing of big business, and give Mrs. Jordan her flowers for the critical role she played, plus much much more.

Episode 362: Bang the Drum Slowly

Posted on by Aaron White.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently chose this 1973 film as the best baseball movie ever in a blog post, and with it being the opening of MLB season and ourselves big fans of the sport, we decided to watch this new-to-us picture and see for ourselves. While we can’t get onboard with Kareem’s lofty praise, there is an interesting story with a beautiful central relationship and plenty to discuss.

Episode 360: Creed III

Posted on by Aaron White.

For the first time, the Rocky franchise moves on without Sylvester Stallone’s iconic character as a part of the story, centering this tale around the recently retired Adonis Creed, his family, and an old friend turned new antagonist whose explosive presence creates a dilemma that can only be dealt with one way – in the ring, of course. We mostly think it’s a mixed bag that doesn’t live up to the exquisite storytelling level of the first two entries, but explosive fight sequences and solid drama are there in spurts.

Episode 359: Rocky IV/Rocky IV: Rocky vs. Drago

Posted on by Aaron White.

Only one man can get revenge for his best friend’s death and stop the Cold War dead in its tracks during a single boxing match, and that’s exactly what Rocky Balboa does. We discuss our enjoyment of this entry in the famous fighting sport franchise not only by talking about ROCKY IV but also Stallone’s recent Director’s Cut version, ROCKY IV: ROCKY VS. DRAGO, through comparison and contrast.

Episode 355: Everything Everywhere All At Once

Posted on by Aaron White.

We take on one of the most creative multiverse stories ever put to screen and share our responses to its absurdity as well as its strong familial relationship drama. Not everything worked perfectly for us, but we think there’s a lot positive to be taken away from this special film.

Episode 348: She Said

Posted on by Aaron White.

For decades Harvey Weinstein committed sexual abuse in and out of the workplace and for decades he was able to silence those who dared to ever try and speak out. But the New York Times report by journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor exposed these allegations and launched the #MeToo movement. We discuss why we think this dramatized story about their investigative work is strongly crafted and how important it is for this information to be shared with the world in a new format.
