We’d love for you to join me and my guests as we make our movie picks, break them down, and talk about the directors, actors, favorite scenes, hidden details, questionable plot decisions, and why one person always falls asleep 20 minutes in and still says, “I was watching that.”Best of all, we keep things clean, so you can listen with your family around without suddenly lunging for the volume button like it’s a game-winning fumble recovery.Thanks for stopping by our show. Grab some popcorn, bring your hot takes, and God bless!

Not Top Gun, but the 1994 comedy western starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, James Garner and favorite of the show Alfred Molina. Beaver sits in and we revisit a movie that deserves more talk than it gets.

Wide variety of fun movies to watch that make me think of summer!

We’re hitting the 30th anniversary of one of the best alien invasion movies ever released! Fact, not opinion. Join Barry, Bradley and myself as we explore all things ID4!

Mario Mario gets discussed at length with Barry and Bradley and we might even talk Bob Hoskins and classic video games

Mostly spoiler free breakdown of the 2026 Masters of the Universe

Landon sits back in and we discuss all things Koba, Matt Reeves, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell and Gary Oldman in the 2014 part two of the most underrated trilogy of all time.

Join me and Tya as we make our picks for movies we’re excited for this summer!

Holy schnikes! Me and Tya sit down and talk about one of her (and many others) favorite movies ever. Chris Farley, David Spade, Dan Akroyd and Rob Lowe bring their A game in this 90’s comedy masterpiece

The need for speed is back! Bradley sits in as we discuss Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Glen Powell and all things about the instant action classic.

Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, and Val Kilmer star in the Tony Scott directed 1986 popcorn classic that is full of Ray-Ban aviators, male bonding beach volleyball, and a jet or two.

Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Juliette Lewis lead one of the best cast movies of the 90s. You’re not going anywhere…

We talk a little National Treasure and a lot of Nic Cage in this episode!

Landon sits in as we talk about the first movie in one of the best trilogies this century. Andy Serkis and James Franco star in the movie that’s celebrating its 15th anniversary!

The first Julia Roberts movie we cover and she’s playing the villian! Join me and Tya as we finish out baseball with a curveball pick and we talk Cameron Diaz, Dermont Mulroney, and how Rupert Everett steals the show.

The baseball streak continues Corey sits down and we travel back to 1962 through a 1993 film that is undoubtedly one of the best (fact, not opinion) baseball movies ever released.

This may not look like a winning pod. But it is one. So listen like it is tonight. Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, and a 20 game win streak by the A’s get the movie pick treatment.

There’s no crying in podcasts! Or in baseball either. 1992 was an awesome movie year and this movie is proof of that. Me and Tya sit down and discuss Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna and so many things about women’s pro b

If you listen, we will pod. Get the tissues out as Beav sits down again in the hot seat and we talk baseball, best supporting actor, and of course the coolness of Costner.

We are all over this pod like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm. Barry sits back in to discuss one of the most quotable movies ever released.
