Siberia
06/08/2020 Duration: 01h17minOur first episode back after a short hiatus is the one Andrew has long-defended as not being as egregiously bad as our listeners made it out to be. Does he still think so at the end of this episode? You’ll just have to listen to find out about that AND what source of energy would sustain Whitney through the final boss battle of a martial arts film.Feel free to support us on Patreon!

A Happening of Monumental Proportions
17/07/2020 Duration: 01h23minThis episode is monumental, for reasons Andrew wastes no time mentioning up top. You have to guess: with a cast this good and the infinitely-funny Judy Greer in the director’s chair, this is basically an instant win, right? Well… kinda… sorta, not really, but… maybe? Join Whitney and Andrew as they discuss how Common and Keanu walked off the set of John Wick Chapter 2 and right into this set and CONTINUE to play adversaries, old lady candies, and learn that they’ve been playing against the void since Charles showed up!Feel free to support us on Patreon!

John Wick Chapter 2
10/07/2020 Duration: 01h33minErich returns for a good one this time. We talk about how Whitney and Erich saw this movie together like some kind of aristocrat, if there’s any secret meaning behind some of the mythological names bandied about, and maybe even throw in an unpaid march plug or two. All in all a very eventful episode!Feel free to support us on Patreon!

To the Bone
02/07/2020 Duration: 01h18minOn this episode, Whitney and Andrew step through the based-on-real-events story of writer/director Marti Noxon’s struggles with anorexia. Whitney makes some great points and Andrew mostly flounders around uncomfortably, but it’s the start of our final season and we’re intent to go out with a bang!Feel free to support us on Patreon!

The Whole Truth
21/05/2020 Duration: 53minIn this, our second time seeing Keanu play a lawyer, we unfortunately don't have quite as memorable a film. Stilted pacing and a surprise but rather uneventful third-act twist keep this movie closer to the valleys than the peaks.Feel free to support us on Patreon!

Keanu
14/05/2020 Duration: 01h48minIn this jam-packed episode we review the film, the kittens involved in the film, and Key & Peele's sketch show. We discover that Charles' Void does indeed have a shower, Andrew's very bizarre point of reference for Martin Freeman, and much more. This is a good one, folks.Feel free to support us on Patreon!

Knock Knock
30/04/2020 Duration: 01h15minJoin us for this mess of a film about… well, we actually don’t know what Eli Roth was trying to say with this non-thrilling thriller, this not scary horror, this non-gory torture film that was certainly tone deaf at the time but feels especially out of touch 4 years after its release. Lindsey Nelsen reluctantly guests and we talk about how the craziest thing our femme fatales did was dip a lollypop into peanut butter while Keanu goes so far against type that we’re just left wondering: why though?Feel free to support us on Patreon!

John Wick with author Eric Smith
23/04/2020 Duration: 01h30minAuthor Eric Smith joins us on this episode where we get angry over no Academy Awards for stunt doubles or the Deadpool 2 music video, how people who refuse to give things a perfect score are asshats, why every movie would be better with Willem Dafoe, what Avatar contributed to cinema as a whole, and we listen as Whitney conducts at least two TED Talks. Oh yeah, we definitely talk about John Wick, too!Feel free to support us on Patreon!

47 Ronin
16/04/2020 Duration: 01h45minThis is the final film before the age we know as The Keanussance! Join us as we walk through this tale that is, and we can’t stress this enough, loosely based on true events. We visit a very European-looking Japan, the island of Tortuga from Pirates of the Caribbean, learn that Tengu Lords and Jewish mothers aren’t all that different, and even learn a few new rules of Baseball from Whitney herself.Feel free to support us on Patreon!

Man of Tai Chi
09/04/2020 Duration: 01h19minThis movie, directed by none other than Keanu himself, has nearly everything you might want out of a martial arts film: beautifully choreographed and memorable fight sequences, a pulpy villain, a hard-boiled detective who simply can’t drop the case that’s haunted her career, a duplicitous police captain, a fight between a master and his student, and a GHOST PUNCH.

Henry's Crime
26/03/2020 Duration: 01h15minElizabeth Nordenholt joins us to discuss Henry’s Crime, a movie that makes a half-hearted attempt at mirroring a Chekhov play and succeeds (?) to varying degrees depending on how hard you’re looking. We also discuss how not to direct a play, the threshold for goodbad movies, and why Henry’s logic was deeply, deeply flawed.Feel free to support us on Patreon!

The Day the Earth Stood Still
13/03/2020 Duration: 01h28minWe’re back after a return from illness, or was Whitney possessed by a ghost? We may never know the truth. We’re joined by special guest Lindsey Nelsen to discuss things like: Just how many times has Keanu played Jesus? Why haven’t we actually done anything about global warming since this movie came out? Is competitive math in movies a bad thing? Was Thanos wrong? We also eventually talk about this movie and how it holds up!Feel free to support us on Patreon!
