Ep. 059 - Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future (1985)

We get in the wayback machine to the year of our lord 2,025. Also a very special announcement at the end of the episode!

It’s just one of those things that happens. Us taking months to release a new episode. Today we talk about the 3 hour epic from the director of One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson.

We're heading back to podcasting, back to talking movies with Back to the Future. Go in depth behind the history of the franchise's first film as Mike and Trevor discuss Mike's favorite movie of all time. Is there a more complete podcast episode about this movie? I don't know, I didn't do that much research.

It's our 3rd Anniversary and we're celebrating once again with Charlie Kaufman. This time it's the only movie in both of our top 5 movie's list, 2004's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A more serious episode, we talk about our love of this movie along with our first experience and how it has inspired us in our daily lives, our music and our Halloween costumes.

One of the greatest movies of the last two decades and one of the best movies from the legendary Coen Brothers, No Country For Old Men won Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for one of cinema's greatest villain performances.

It's our annual Halloween episode and just in time for Christmas! Dr Hannibal Lector is now making house calls right inside your ear holes! Merry Christmas you filthy animal! Also, don't forget to put the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again!

This episode was plagued with technical problems in the first 15 minutes or so. While recording, the computer recording the audio was having problems, which resulted in the audio skipping every now and then. Good news is this was only in the first 15 minutes. Bad news, it removes words of great context. So if you're confused about what we're talking about, that is why. I can say one time our guest mentioned the Brave Little Toaster being too scary for little kids and another time Michael mentions he wasn't allowed to watch the scene in Independence Day where the seemingly unconscious alien takes control of Brent Spiner's scientist character and uses him as a puppet.

What is your American Dream? To have a family and a house? A job that you love? To be rich and famous? Or is it to make cheap horror films while skipping child support and getting every dollar you can out of your dying uncle? Well that seems to be Mark Borchardt wants most.It's the story of ambition, artistic integrity, avoiding a 9 to 5 and drinking as much as you can while digging yourself deeper and deeper into debt.Mike and Trevor talk about this indie classic as it celebrates its 25 birthday. It's American Movie!!!

We're back and hopefully this time it will stick. Trevor brings in one of his childhood favorites, Michael Jackson Moonwalker! The King of Pop blesses us with some of his best videos of all time and other random scenes where he transforms into machines and plays soccer wrong. J'mon and join Mike and Trevor as they recount Michael Jackson's ego trippin to the gates of Club 30s.

We're alive! and we've brought an old friend! Recorded live from Oscar's apartment we talk about the 96th Annual Academy Awards. Who got snubbed? What films are the most overrated? And does Julianne Moore have enough hot dogs? Its another Oscars with Oscar!
