Episode 60 - Seven Samurai

Jeff and Pat demonstrate a wealth of knowledge on a wider range of topics, including: movies, video games, and movies based on video games. Also, lawn care tips to avoid running afoul of leprechaun curses!

Pat and Jeff are getting into a beast of a film this week, with the longest entry into their review list to date: the beloved classic Japanese picture, Seven Samurai. They try using their newfound film expertise to figure out how to make it shorter. They fail.

Tish sticks around for a discussion about bad Marvel movies, good Star Trek, and what little they know about the writers' strike. Also, Tish gives Pat a crash course in the world of General Hospital.

While Jeff is off on another totally real adventure, Pat sits down with returning guest Tish MacWebber to talk about the craft of writing a novel in a month, and the at of creating the perfect book cover. They also review that movie your annoying English teacher made you watch during class that one time, Dead Poets Society. You can find Tish's books and other endeavors at https://tishmacwebber.com/

Josh sticks around to chat about nothing in particular, including the Kenny vs Spenny live show, the Super Mario Bros. movie, and Jeff's spooky adventures.

Jeff and Pat are welcoming back Josh, the war movie expert, to talk about the ambitious war film about an ambitious battle operation, A Bridge Too Far! They rave about the star-studded cast and complain about the lack of English subtitles - were we supposed to understand what those Nazi officers were saying?? - While Josh balances out his expertise in military history by being mostly oblivious about Star Wars.

This episode is essentially a Nick Cage PSA about all that is Nick Cage. But wait, there is more! Pat and Jeff have recollections of a hazy period that seemed like it happened a long long time ago... And Pat is a Vampire. Cheers! (but only 2 times a week)

Jeff and Pat are back in th 50s this week to check out some high school vehicular homicide in Rebel Without a Cause. They discover that when your grandparents reminisce about a "simpler time", they're apparently talking about a time when it wasn't considered bullying unless there was a knife fight? It was a weird decade and your grandparents are weird people.

Pat and Jeff slowly begin to accept the fact that people just do not go to the movies like they used to.

This week Jeff and Pat are going back to get seduced by an all-time classic film: the 1967 coming-of-age comedy, The Graduate! Also they practice some cancelled impressions, play a new game called "Spot the Parody", and this movie turns one of the BBO team into a boomer apologist.
