The Sugarland Express
3d ago00:54:44Tap to summarizeWhat'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?Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Nanny McPhee Returns
2w ago00:59:20Tap to summarizeNanny 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?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Mr Nobody
3w ago01:31:14Tap to summarizeMays 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!Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Thursday Murder Club
May 701:00:09Tap to summarizeOkay 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.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Say Anything
Apr 2301:06:51Tap to summarizeSay 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?Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Runaway Bride
Apr 1600:54:43Tap to summarizeRunaway 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.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Four Weddings and a Funeral
Apr 901:00:24Tap to summarizeFour 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?Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Shakespeare in Love
Apr 200:53:41Tap to summarizeWelcome 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.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
