O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
On today’s episode we discuss a movie loosely based on The Odessey and nominated for 2 Oscars. This movie was the first adapted screenplay by the Coen Brothers and was called a hillbilly musical comedy adventure by John Turturo. It made Dapper Dan a household name, and turned "Man of Constant Sorrow" into a bluegrass banger for the new millennium. Join us for a scene by scene review of 2000’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?!

Jaws (1975)
**This is a reissue of an older episode in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Jaws, and also to get it back on Spotify because the original was taken down.
Baa Dum. Baa Dum. The movie that made you question even the smallest bodies of water. Jaws launched some major careers in cinema but can it hold up against the test of time nearly a half-century later?? Are sharks as dangerous as they make it seem? Can you put a price on the lives of tourists? Let’s catch up with Bruce and dive in! It's the summer of 70s! The entire month of August will be movies from the 70s.

UHF (1989)
On today’s episode, we’re diving into a cult classic that redefined what it means to be weird, hilarious, and just downright absurd. A movie showing the world that Weird Al Yankovic should be protected at all costs. This movie showed us the greatest hotdog/twinkie combination of all time and taught us that broads don’t belong in braodcasting, that gun control is for wimps and commies, and that life is like a mop. We are of course talking about 1989’s UHF

BRUNCH: The Last of Us (Season 2 RECAP)
Almost 2 months ago, we released a brunch episode recapping the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us. It was a trial of sorts, as we may dip our toes in TV series reviews in the future. Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other.
HEAVY SPOILERS if you haven’t see all of Season 2. We return to regularly scheduled programming this Thursday with UHF and next Monday with a Brunch about famous movie curses.
