A.I. EP. 332: "Merry Christmas. Hail, Saint Nick" - One Battle After Another Best Picture Winner

Paul Thomas Anderson won his first Oscars this year and he went all in with Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture. The two of us sat down and broke down what we thought of it and had a great time doing it. Hope you enjoy!

We've seen most of the nominated movies and we make our predictions for all of the categories. You can fill out your own ballot and send our way and see if your prediction game is better than ours! If you're a Patron of ours and you get the most correct, you can make us watch a movie you love! Good luck and hope everyone you want to win wins!

It's a Tom Hanks film from the 80's, which of course means we had to call up Abe Sword. We've had him on for The 'Burbs, Joe Versus the Volcano, Big and now The Money Pit. This home renovation nightmare of a story turns 40 years old this year and we had a great time chatting about it. Enjoy!

One of the hardest times we've ever laughed in a movie theater was during the movie Hall Pass. We watched it with a couple of our buddies, one of them was Brandon Miller, who's been on the pod a few times before and was happy to come back and chat about this hilarious movie. Hope you all enjoy!

35 years ago a cinematic masterpiece was created, King Ralph. Maybe that's a little too high praise but we sure liked this movie when we were kids. We brought back to the pod a man who watched this movie many times with Rob, his dad, Fred Lundquist. Always a good time having Fred on the show. Hope you all enjoy!

Saving Silverman came out while Rob was in his senior year of high school and he and his good buddy, Benny Elledge, watched it many many times. Had to bring Benny and Renegade back on the pod to discuss the ridiculousness that is Saving Silverman. Listen up cuz we wanna party with you. WE WANNA PARTY WITH YOU!

2026 has started off pretty stressful for a bunch of people, especially in Minnesota, so we have decided to keep it lighthearted and talk about goofy comedies. One of the goofiest comedies ever made was Bio-Dome featuring Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin and it is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It's just the two of us on this one and only one of us really likes this movie. Listen and find out who it is!

We got the Home Free Founding Fathers back for a ridiculous night of playing games. Matt Atwood, Chris Rupp and Adam Rupp really let loose with us and we had a pretty good time playing some movie trivia. Hope you enjoy!!!

WE ARE BACKKKK! Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of 2026. We took a couple of weeks off and we are back to recording episodes for you. Our first episode is on the unofficial Tommy Boy sequel, Black Sheep. It features the incredibly hilarious and wonderful Chris Farley and David Spade. Our good friend and fellow Chris Farley admirer, Brandon Miller, came back onto the pod to give us his thoughts. A super fun way to start the year. Enjoy!

As 2025 comes to a close we look back at the year’s released films and each choose our 10 favorite, our least favorite, best acting performances and then a bunch of honorable mentions. Our Patrons will get to listen to our favorite shows of the year as well. Thank you so much for listening and supporting the show, we appreciate each and every one of you. We’ll take a couple weeks off to recalibrate and choose which films we want to discuss moving forward. Enjoy your New Year’s celebrations and we’ll see ya next year!
