RUSHMORE

Well, everyone knows Wes Anderson's third feature achieved box office and critical success, further establishing the Anderson-ian style and rhythms. What this podcast presupposes is . . . maybe he didn't?

We turned the key on the monkey's back this week . . . will we survive long enough to make it to the end of the episode?

We've still got spy fever after BLACK BAG, so we are returning to a classic. Plus, an extended conversation on James Bond, Amazon, and the future of our prestige franchise.

This week, Steven Soderbergh asks the question: how sick would it be to create international strife through advanced spycraft to prove just how monogamous you are?

Join us as we bounce from one extracurricular activity to the next in Wes Anderson's hilarious and spiky RUSHMORE.

Baseball. Is. Back. We are celebrating the return of our great game by covering SEE HER BE HER, a new documentary on women's baseball. Veronica Alvarez, manager of the US Women's Baseball Team, joins us to chat about the making of the documentary, the 2026/2027 World Cup season prep, and the future of international women's baseball. Plus, we preview the upcoming MLB season!00:20 - talking SEE HER BE HER20:40 - chatting with Veronica Alvarez46:00 - MLB preview and predictions

From tennis courts to Canadian courtrooms, from the Australian desert to the deserts of Arrakis, from the Vatican to Vegas, it's our favorite movies of 2024.

Yeah, yeah, the "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences" has a little show for the best movies of 2024, but the real awards are on this podcast. Best Picture, all the acting categories, maybe a little sound and score action. What surprises do we have in store?

It's a far-reaching and honest conversation for our boys this week. How quickly can Jed's Oscar take provoke Evan? What does AI in movies even mean? Is THE BRUTALIST, like, THAT good, or just that good? Plus: SING SING, A REAL PAIN, THE APPRENTICE (which we will never watch), and WICKED (again).

Two of the most discussed (over-discussed?) horror movies feature on this week's episode, as Jed and Chip take a look at these two fairy tales. Are the prosthetics the real stars of these movies? Is the discourse cursed? Should we even attempt to parse through the noise to get to the truth of these films?? Should we have even pressed record????
