Shaun Of The Dead

Co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I take it outside to discuss Edgar Wright's Shaun Of The Dead (2004), a romantic comedy with zombies. I love it; Jeff does not and explains why. We somehow manage to keep our usual tangents to a minimum and also try out a movie game I made up, which may or may not crash and burn. It's an episode you're sure to enjoy - although, if you've got red on you, you might want to take care of that first.

Team America: World Police

Co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I throw in our buck 'o five in a discussion of Trey Parker's Team America: World Police (2004). We also cover our mutual disdain for the musical Rent, the media's treatment of 9/11, the political beliefs of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the beloved television series South Park and the film's portrayal of Alec Baldwin. It's an episode even Matt Damon would love!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters

It's a groovy time for a movie time as co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I discuss Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis' Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters (2007). The film piles on too much weird for too long a running time, but that doesn't stop us from loving it. So get nude and feel the love for this modern cartoon classic - or we'll cut you with a linoleum knife.

Kick-Ass

Co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I discuss Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass (2010), perhaps the most realistic superhero movie ever made. We rebuke Roger Ebert's scathing review paragraph by paragraph, marvel at dead-on American accents by British actors, express our general dislike of Diablo Cody and rejoice at Nicolas Cage's career-reviving performance. It's all here in an episode that is truly kick-ass. Or is it ass-kick?

Waiting For Guffman

For the last episode of the Month of Guest, co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I take a look at Waiting For Guffman (1997), Christopher Guest's first mockumentary. Among other things, we discuss the formation of the Guest aesthetic, the sexiness of Matt Keeslar, Fred Willard's surprisingly subdued performance, the worst fake musical ever made and our desire to own Remains Of The Day lunchboxes. It's an episode they'll be taking about even on Nebali!

Best In Show

Co-host Jeffery Heatherly was such a fan of A Mighty Wind that he requested we watch another Christopher Guest mockumentary - and thus was born the Month of Guest. This week we discuss Best In Show (2000), a film about dogs and the (slightly insane) people who love them. As usual, the conversation touches on not just the film but a variety of only vaguely related cultural references. We would also again like to stress that Jeff does not hate dogs.

A Mighty Wind

Co-host Jeffery Heatherly and I discuss Christopher Guest's 2003 mockumentary A Mighty Wind, a comedy with surprising emotional depth. I sing "Ave Maria" à la Michael Hitchcock and dispel any rumors about band camp that might have been started by American Pie. Jeff offers his opinion of folk music and laments how talented comedians are shortchanged in film and television. It's an episode you'll love to hear even if it's not autumn.
