Conclave

Happy Women's History Month! We watched Jackie in honor of it and will be watching other movies with powerful women with one-name titles throughout the month. But this movie stars Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy during the worst moments of her life, the JFK assassination. It shines a light on how absolutely awful it is to lose your husband and how it's even more horrific if he's the president of the United States.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Now that we've seen (basically) all of the Oscar-nominated best picture movies, it's time to talk about our predictions and rank our favorites! It was a weird year. Maybe one of the most controversial Oscars in years. We also launched a new merch store where you can buy all of Mike's incredible posters for sale!

We wrap up the Oscar season with A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic! Let's see how Timmy C and our friend James Mangold, who directed some previous podcast movies like Kate and Leopold and Indiana Jonas and the Dial of Destiny, can bring the musical enigma to life. Set when Dylan decided to break out on the scene and go electric, this follows his encounters with various musicians, most notably his relationship with Joan Baez. He also has a side normie relationship with Sylvia, played by Elle Fanning. Luckily for you fine listeners, this is another car cast!Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Thanks to movie studios not releasing their movies on VOD, I'm Still Here is our first carcast this Oscar season! I'm Still Here is set in Brazil under the 1970s dictatorship, where a wife must find out what happened to her husband while maintaining a healthy family life. I don't want to reveal more details because hearing us discover what's happening and what the movie is truly about is shocking.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Conclave shines a light on the process of choosing a new Pope. Just like Oscar voting, it's a mysterious and grueling process full of politicking, even in the house of God. We follow Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) as he tries to run the whole process and keep the entire catholic church from going down a path of bigotry and cruelty. Directed by Edward Berger who did All Quiet on the Western Front, the boys watch and find out if the movie is all it's cracked up to be.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

It's Oscar season baby!! We recorded this before we knew the nominations, but we can bet this movie will be there. For some reason. This is a weird one. Neither of us knew exactly what it was and we were both shocked when we figured out exactly what this movie was. If you never heard of it, do yourself a favor and listen to our podcast. Somehow, Emilia Pérez finds a way to offend almost everyone to some degree.This was recorded before the director said "Spanish is the language of underdeveloped countries, the poor and the migrants." and before the awful tweets of lead actress Karla Sofia Gascon's tweets surfaced.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

John Hughes has been hit or miss for us on this podcast, but we're watching another one of his classic movies, Uncle Buck! John Candy stars in the titular role and is here to cause a reasonable amount of havoc. He means well, but darn if he isn't so destructive, loud, and basically a cartoon character. He and his niece butt heads a lot, but who can blame any high schooler for being annoyed by their uncle and his noxious, back-firing car.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Demolition Man is a classic movie that we've somehow missed. Surprisingly, none of the many explosions in this movie were triggered by the famous Taco Bell featured in the film. Stallone and Snipes face off in the future, where "crime" has been eradicated and peace prospers. But at what cost if you can't have salt!?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Is Space Truckers a cheesy space romp with awful special effects and cornball dialogue? Roger that. Dennis Hopper stars in a movie about a space trucker who has to take a mysterious shipment to Earth but gets captured by pirates! Shenanigans ensue, including square pigs, scrotums on robots, and wang pulses.

In the new year, it's time to think about money. You know who has a lot of money? Grandmas. They are always giving away all that free candy, so they must be loaded!!! This is a little movie Ethan has been wanting to watch for a while now, but it's also one of the first movies from Thailand that either of the hosts has seen. It's a tear-jerker, though. So grab your box of tissues and get ready to listen to the boys grapple with in-family politics.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
