Back in June, in anticipation of getting to letter H, John and Bethany sat down and decided to watch all eight Harry Potter Films in one weekend. The resulting hour plus of audio contains a documentation of their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and mental states as they attempted this frankly gargantuan, 19 hour feat, featuring some special guests.
Hail! Caesar will be the next episode.
We talk about the first Marvel movie that Bethany ever liked and how it treats women pretty terrible even as it gets so much more right. Next episode, we're covering Hail! Caesar.
We're back....IN SPACE. John and Bethany get into fear, instinct, survival, and a return to birth in a trip into space with Alfonso Cuarón, Sandra Bulloch, and a tiny bit of Clooney. Gravity's not readily available for free on streaming services, so we summarized it, or you can rent it on Google or other sites for $3.99. Next time, we're watching Guardians of the Galaxy. Bring your dancing shoes.
John and Bethany get into the 21st century take on 19th century sensation literature. Did you know there's a literal orgasm of blood in this movie? Yeah!
Next episode, we continue our series on space disaster movies with Gravity.
John and Bethany dig into FFC's immigrant gangster epic. Al Pacino is Hot. Fredo is sad. Vito is trying so hard to love all of his sons. Sonny is just mad. What is a woman anyway? Next episode, we're discussing blood orgasms, also known as Gone Girl.
It's a full table for this week's episode as John and Bethany invite Corey Couch, a PhD student involved in the Liquid Blackness research group at Georgia State, and Chris, friend of the show and host of Them's the Facts, to discuss Jordan Peele's directorial debut, Get Out. In our longest and most contentious episode yet, get a glimpse of what hanging out with film students is like, but also enjoy the discussion of this really great movie!
Next episode, it's The Godfather! And yes, we mean all of them.
Warning: there's some rape discussion in this one. John and Bethany dive into the 2010 Russell Brand/Jonah Hill vehicle/spinoff/comedy allstar game: Get Him to the Greek. The sex comedy barely works, but do the jokes?
Next Week: Get Out!
John and Bethany dive into 2018 comedy Game Night. They also dip into some other pools. Can you believe Bethany has never heard of Pinball Wizard? Love to Fatt Damon and Lamorne Morris.
Next Week: Get Him to the Greek
It's John and Bethany Birthday Month, so it's time for dogs, cars, guns, and hotels in the John Wick 1 and 2 Birthday Special!!!!
We're gonna be back on our alphabetical shiz next week with Game Night!
