'Inglourious Basterds'
Jan 31, 202501:00:23Tap to summarizeKat and I have BOTH seen this movie before but apropos of odd-looking salutes this week, we've broken our one rule. And we got a word for that kinda odd in English. It's called "suspicious". Now, take your wiener schnitzel lickin' finger and hit the play button- it's 'Inglourious Basterds'!
Transcribe →'She's the Man'
Jan 16, 202500:28:21Tap to summarizeMary Tyler Moore. Dick Van Dyke. Lucille Ball. Jim Carrey. Amanda Bynes. Yeah, we went there. Amanda deserves her flowers and we're gonna give them to her! This is the only podcast on God's green internet that deigns to release 'The Brutalist' and 'She's the Man' back to back. Try and stop us- we got a lifetime of knowledge!
Transcribe →Be Mean at the Movies: 'The Brutalist'
Jan 8, 202501:04:17Tap to summarizeCalling all Brutal Boys and Girls! The day has arrived and 'The Brutalist' is finally in more than two theaters. Join us as we dive deep into the labyrinthine mind of László Tóth- a totally real person (do not Google him) with 3x the accent marks of Lydia Tár. By the time you've heard this, Charlie is probably on his 8th watch and Kat is questioning her life choices. Welcome to America!
Transcribe →Be Mean at the Movies: 'A Complete Unknown' and 'Nosferatu'
Jan 1, 202500:51:46Tap to summarizeWhom among us hasn't been haunted by a toxic ex-boyfriend? Undead vampyr wasn't an "era" for Bob but there's still time. Both movies center their hypnotic lotharios but it's the women that had us transfixed. And when you think about it, Pete Seeger and Thomas Hutton have a lot in cuck- I'm sorry, common. It's A Complete Unknosferatu!
Transcribe →'Children of Men'
Dec 23, 202401:07:04Tap to summarizeThere will be children. There will be men. Will there be women? Press play to find out. Watching this right after binging Handmaid's Tale was definitely...a choice. But we did it, and we loved it! We are unhinged! The only thing that would make this movie better is actually having Vin Diesel. Otherwise it's perfect.
Transcribe →Be Mean at the Movies: 'Gladiator II' and 'Wicked'
Dec 18, 202400:49:19Tap to summarizeWho's ready to get GLICKED DOWN? We certainly weren't, but here we are. It's Barbenheimer 2.0 with slightly less successful execution, but we had fun! There was movement! Singing! Tears! Oh, and then there was also Wicked, which had that too, I guess. Has anyone else out there gotten GLICKED? Let us know your thoughts.This is a SPOILER-FILLED conversation!
Transcribe →'Gladiator'
Dec 12, 202400:59:41Tap to summarizeAren't you GLAD we didn't pick a different movie? Haha. Ha. Tbh what were they feeding Russell and Djimon? Just straight protein for 6 months? This set seemed like absolute chaos, but hey, maybe that's what you need sometimes to win Best Picture. PS. If you know the difference between Trojans and Romans, please comment below - we still haven't looked it up.
Transcribe →'Get Out'
Nov 18, 202401:04:06Tap to summarize*Recorded October 28th, 2024* Another classic you can't believe Kat has never seen? Yep! Don't worry, she was on the edge of her seat and screaming at the tv just like she would have in the theater. Charlie is still looking at her sideways AND what IS up with the milk thing? This movie is basically GOATed - what more is there to say, really? GET OUT!
Transcribe →'Heathers'
Oct 22, 202400:48:07Tap to summarizeWe love our dead gay son! Except instead of dead, he’s alive, and he’s our dog.FOLKS! It’s another cult classic (and of course, a Kat pick) with ‘Heathers’ — one of the most quotable, insane teenage satires ever made. It has something for everyone: hot, young Christian Slater; hot, young Winona Ryder — it’s got it all, and would never, ever be made again (except in a broadway musical, where apparently anything goes!)And if you hate the movie? Drop a comment! Seriously, we love to argue :)
Transcribe →Be Mean at the Movies: 'Alien Romulus'
Oct 10, 202401:04:27Tap to summarizeAre you guys ready for some invasive facials? We know we are! Alien Romulus is chronologically in order (in the story) after 'Alien', so it's fitting that this is our next episode for BMFF: Spooky Season! Charlie's got some strong opinions, Kat corrects herself from last episode on which creature she actually finds attractive. And Bug is also there, of course. We're three little guys in a trench coat!
