Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes.

Listen as your fearless hosts cordially disagree about and dissect the comedic stylings of Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell. Talk about what wrong Paul Rudd can do (hint: there is no wrong Paul Rudd can do) and ultimately try to answer the question: was this better as a web series or did the gamble to go to Netflix pay off?

On this episode with guest Lindsey Nelsen, we RUN THE GAMUT of topics, often times not actually sticking to the point, but that's why you're here, isn't it?

In this episode we go off on a tangent about Mad Max Fury Road, Andrew gets to utter the greatest sentence that perhaps exists on the whole of Wikipedia, a new Pop Quiz A*****e record is set (potentially?) and we also explain why Forky is potentially the most relatable character Pixar has maybe ever created. Bonus: Whitney's Thoughts and Feelings™ on John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum!

Is it possible that the architectural layout of The Continental is an intentional metaphor for the plot of this film? Maybe! Our very special guest and fellow Keanu Reeves Historian Angelica Jade Bastién joins us to discuss the importance of editing, one key difference that makes old movies better than new movies, and then proceeds to absolutely destroy Erich and Andrew during Pop Quiz, A*****e.

As our guest so eloquently points out: our main problems with Replicas revolve around us thinking that it's a movie rather than an unholy amalgamation. Turns out Replicas is roughly nine great ideas all with their own thoughts, feelings, motivations, and darn good questions. The problem this leaves is: can all nine movies have meaningful resolution in under 2 hours? Special guest Aja Romano returns to help us figure it out!

One of our most-anticipated episodes AND films just happens to have one of the shortest episode run-times. Very curious, indeed.

Our first episode back after a short hiatus is the one Andrew has long-defended as not being as egregiously bad as our listeners made it out to be. Does he still think so at the end of this episode? You’ll just have to listen to find out about that AND what source of energy would sustain Whitney through the final boss battle of a martial arts film. Feel free to support us on Patreon!

This episode is monumental, for reasons Andrew wastes no time mentioning up top. You have to guess: with a cast this good and the infinitely-funny Judy Greer in the director’s chair, this is basically an instant win, right? Well… kinda… sorta, not really, but… maybe? Join Whitney and Andrew as they discuss how Common and Keanu walked off the set of John Wick Chapter 2 and right into this set and CONTINUE to play adversaries, old lady candies, and learn that they’ve been playing against the...

Erich returns for a good one this time. We talk about how Whitney and Erich saw this movie together like some kind of aristocrat, if there’s any secret meaning behind some of the mythological names bandied about, and maybe even throw in an unpaid march plug or two. All in all a very eventful episode! Feel free to support us on Patreon!

On this episode, Whitney and Andrew step through the based-on-real-events story of writer/director Marti Noxon’s struggles with anorexia. Whitney makes some great points and Andrew mostly flounders around uncomfortably, but it’s the start of our final season and we’re intent to go out with a bang!

The end of yet another era in Keanu’s career.

This episode has everything: Silkwood showers, why you should drink Yorkshire and PGTips Tea, the condemnation of JK Rowling, why you shouldn't live in an airplane fuselage in the desert, the secrets of gin-wine, a cat falling in love with a cardboard cutout of Danny DeVito, and why Jason Mamoa should go on a taco...

On this episode, we discuss how a mountain lion in your bed is not outside of the realm of possibility, haunted mansions, "Refnocity", and our individual thresholds of what is acceptable when shifting from literalism into complete metaphor.

In this, our second time seeing Keanu play a lawyer, we unfortunately don't have quite as memorable a film. Stilted pacing and a surprise but rather uneventful third-act twist keep this movie closer to the valleys than the peaks. Feel free to support us on Patreon!

In this jam-packed episode we review the film, the kittens involved in the film, and Key & Peele's sketch show. We discover that Charles' Void does indeed have a shower, Andrew's very bizarre point of reference for Martin Freeman, and much more. This is a good one, folks. Feel free to support us on Patreon!

Join us for this mess of a film about… well, we actually don’t know what Eli Roth was trying to say with this non-thrilling thriller, this not scary horror, this non-gory torture film that was certainly tone deaf at the time but feels especially out of touch 4 years after its release. Lindsey Nelsen reluctantly guests and we talk about how the craziest thing our femme fatales did was dip a lollypop into peanut butter while Keanu goes so far against type that we’re just left wondering: why...

Author Eric Smith joins us on this episode where we get angry over no Academy Awards for stunt doubles or the Deadpool 2 music video, how people who refuse to give things a perfect score are asshats, why every movie would be better with Willem Dafoe, what Avatar contributed to cinema as a whole, and we listen as Whitney conducts at least two TED Talks. Oh yeah, we definitely talk about John Wick, too! Feel free to support us on Patreon! We’ll have behind-the-scenes content, exclusive videos,...

This is the final film before the age we know as The Keanussance! Join us as we walk through this tale that is, and we can’t stress this enough, loosely based on true events. We visit a very European-looking Japan, the island of Tortuga from Pirates of the Caribbean, learn that Tengu Lords and Jewish mothers aren’t all that different, and even learn a few new rules of Baseball from Whitney herself.
