Ryan and Nathan were invited to Hudsucker Industries to examine the new Extruded Plastic Dingus. Could be a big hit. Unfortunately the movie it was in, The Hudsucker Proxy, was not, and we try to figure out why in this week's look at the films of the Coen Brothers. We also dive deep into the Ghostbusters franchise, so stay tuned for that discussion as well. Thanks for joining us.

Welcome to the Hotel Earle. Ryan and Nathan are checking in to meet Barton Fink, the writer from New York who is trying to break into Hollywood.

The Assistant Editor on The Evil Dead can direct and write films of his own? Who knew? Ryan and Nathan kick off their first ever director spotlight with Blood Simple. The debut feature of the Coen Brothers, this film serves well as a showcase for a lot of the themes and general vibe the brothers explore in their four decade career. That's right, despite what we may say in the episode, we are going to look at every feature the Coen's have done thus far, so buckle up for our biggest batch ever....

Another long batch of films has come to an end. But which of these "Good" movies was the goodest?

Despite comparing it to a vomit-covered bathroom stall, Ryan and Nathan maintain that Spring Breakers is a good movie. You just have to be ready to look in the mirror a bit and see the dubstep obsessed Brony you used to be and come to terms with it. Thanks Harmony Korine.  If you'd like to send us some questions for future episodes, email [email protected] or [email protected] We are also on BlueSky, OKVideo, and Instagram and Hive, okvideopodcast. -N Spring Breakers

After a pretty extensive discussion about the current state of the Academy Awards, Ryan and Nathan discuss an overlooked contender from 2012, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.

To start the celebration of Paul Giamatti's imminent Oscar win early (don't screw this one up Academy), Ryan and Nathan are taking a look back at one of the roles that helped him shake off the "character actor" label and get some meaty parts. That's right,  Big Fat Liar is this week's Good movie.  If you'd like to send us some thoughts and feelings, email [email protected] or [email protected] We are also on Hive and Instagram, okvideopodcast.

Michael Myers? Who even is that? This is a Stonehenge movie about killer robots and evil masks. Way cooler.

 As we were deciding upon which movies to cover in this Movies that are Good batch, one film rose to the surface. One movie was at the centre of all our ideas around this batch. That movie is My Favorite Martian, starring Christopher Lloyd and Jeff Daniels. That's right after all these years we are finally doing it. Hold on to your Zoots!

Ryan and Nathan take a trip back to the year 2000 for The 6th Day, a movie we are asserting is at least "good" by our metrics. We then talk about the political era of the time as far as we can recall it and end a little sadder than when we came in. Sometimes that is just how it goes.

Ryan and Nathan begin a new batch of movies that didn't click with audiences, critics (or both) when they first came out. The Cable Guy got a lot of press for how much money they paid Jim Carrey, but it also stands out as a pretty distinct 90s comedy.  If you'd like to send us a question for a future show, email [email protected] or [email protected] We are also on BlueSky, OKVideo, and Hive and Instagram, okvideopodcast.  -N The Cable Guy

Well this is it, we've reached the end of our Bad Investments batch. Hopefully Hollywood isn't listening and can continue to release face palm movies forever (some of them are kind of fun). Hopefully you'll learn some valuable lessons too. Specifically how not to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a movie based on a board game, just as an example.

Whoops, Barry Allen broke reality. Spaghetti is everywhere. The broccoli has spoiled in the fridge. Pandemonium. Can Ryan and Nathan make sense of the mess that is The Flash before large, CG orbs crash into each other and end the universes? Join us to find out.

Battleship may be a product you've heard of, but is that enough of a justification for a 220 million dollar movie?

Disney manages to outdo itself in the box office bomb category with The Lone Ranger, a grand throwback to simpler times that has its charms, but boy did they bet several farms to make it. Ryan and Nathan try to untangle the somewhat ungainly plot with mutant rabbits, ivory gun legs and heart eating cannibals in this week's look at big swings and misses. Thanks for joining us.

The mystery of why Rob Cohen didn't direct the xXx sequel is solved in this week's look at Stealth, another box office failure from the summer of 2005. This one takes some surprising turns as the marketing for this film focused on three things, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel's body and an evil A.I. plane. But only one of those things is as advertised.

Warner Bros made a steampunk Western about a vengeful Confederate General who wants to use a super weapon to destroy the Yankee Nation and only an especially talented gunslinger hired by President Grant has what it takes to stop him. And then they made it again in Jonah Hex, the spiritual cousin to Wild Wild West that nobody could have anticipated.

Was there ever really a chance that we'd get more than one Gods of Egypt film? Was there a strategy that would have sold this bizarre take on Egyptian mythology to the masses and bankrolled a new franchise for Summit Entertainment? Nathan and Ryan discuss this possibility while laying out the pros and cons of Alex Proyas' final gift (so far) to big screen buffs.

Ah, the subjectivity of human experience. Ryan and Nathan have very different takes on this week's box office failure, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, the movie that destroyed director Ron Underwood's career and put Eddie Murphy's career in a position where he needed a comeback. But in what other movie can you see Randy Quaid dual wield pistols in a gunfight on the moon?  If you'd like to send in a question for a future show, email [email protected] or [email protected] We are also on Hive and...
