S2 E14: Knowing

It is a dark time for the Rebellion. And also for people who hate hearing friends chat about movies with each other! This one's off of Jake's list but it honestly doesn't even matter, everybody's on the same page here. This is the end of season 2, Thanks for listening!

This week Joel does something he never thought he'd have to do: Defend 1977's Star Wars (A New Hope) against the harsh critiques of the young people. This one's off of his list, obviously. And Jess and Phoebe are back! Yay!

Week 2 of our Star Wars Film Festival concerns the 2016 film "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." This one isn't on anyone's list, so it's technically a bonus episode. Which means that you can't complain if you don't like it. If you hate this episode, don't you dare come back around here asking me to do something about it. Still flying high off of finding out that I can bold stuff in these descriptions, if I'm being honest.

We kick off our Four-Part Season Two Star Wars Finale Extravaganza with this delightful romp through George Lucas's prequel trilogy closer, 2005's Revenge of the Sith. Man, that was a wordy sentence. I just discovered that I can make words bold in these descriptions! Cool! This movie is off of Jake's list and we're joined once again by our wives, Jessica Rousseau and Phoebe Runyon! Woo!

Ok then! Let's dig into The Coens' 1987 comedy "Raising Arizona." Joel loves this movie, Jake is maybe too young to fully appreciate it. That's not an impartial observation, this is Joel. I write these little descriptions.

How do you find the best shot in a movie that technically only has 1 cut in it? You'll never find out unless you listen to this whole thing. We're talking about Sam Mendes' 2019 masterpiece "1917." It's off of Jake's list.

O brother! Let's get into Joel and Ethan Coen's 2000 hit "O Brother, where art thou?" This one is off of Joel (Rousseau)'s list.

Please enjoy maybe the greatest episode of this podcast ever recorded, featuring Nicolas Cage's 2009 MASTERPIECE, "Knowing."

This week the boys talk about one of Joel's favorite movies EVER: Quentin Tarantino's first feature film, 1992's "Reservoir Dogs."

Wanna hear two dudes try to break down one of the most famously involved, cryptic, detailed movie plots of all time? This week, watched Christopher Nolan's 2010 CLASSIC, "Inception." This one's off of Jake's list.
