This week we dive into Argo! Trent Miller pick of the month - had to do it right. True story. Listen NOW!

This week we dive headfirst into Sideways! Nicks pick- and a typical pick at that! Just kidding but it was not what I was expecting. I was hoping for a sick boys golf trip. Turns out there's a lot of drama. Rom Com? I didn't see the rom or com but hey that's just me. A lot of people have this movie high on their watch list. Just not my cup of soup. Id prefer soup that taste a lot better. Maybe chicken noodle soup or something. Also does anyone read these? I spend more time on these descriptions then I do researching the movie. ENJOY!

The Social Network

This week we dive into The Social Network. As it is Stephen's pick we KNOW its going to be a banger. And it was. The movie shows how Facebook (Meta) was founded. We go over all the dramatization also to get the record straight. ENJOY!

We are BACK AGAIN with the infamous TITANIC! Trent Miller pick this week! Naturally the boys loved this movie - but hot take I personally didn't think it held up to the hype! Listen for the most thrilling audio experience of your life.

Are we back or are we back?? The answer is WE ARE BACK!!! Again with "The Other Guys". Nick Jones pick of the week. It was mid but you know we let him throw his movies around here and there. He didn't start start the podcast like Trent and I- we brought him on after we already had nothing to lose you know? Still gonna keep him around though- every once in a while he throws a pretty good pick. Regardless still a good episode cause Stephen brings the heat with the comedy. Even though the movie was ass. Mostly because of Mark W being annoying the entire time. I would have personally cast Will F counterpart in Talladega Nights. I always forget his name but their dynamic is so much better. If you read this far you don't even need to listen to the episode you got the gist of it. Official Hypocritic podcast review (3.0)
