SNOBBIES! It’s the end of the Spooky season! It hardly seems that the time is here. It feels like it had just begun. But this week we have Jared’s pick for Spooktober V and he chose a film that has been on our spooky lists for years. A film cloaked in darkness and creepy imagery. A film directed by the great Werner Herzog, “Nosferatu the Vampyre.” Joining us on this trip is JOHNNY P! We are so happy to have him on the pod. Having seen this film in the Prospect basement with Jared a few years...

Hey everyone, this week we have Caleb’s pick for SPOOKTOBER! This pick comes to us from director Alejandro Amenábar and is “The Others.” This film is very hard to talk about without spoiling the film, but it takes place in 1945 at the end of the war where we find Nicole Kidman giving some new caretakers the tour of the house before giving them the job. The film gets very interesting when her daughter and son start to see “Others” in the home and Nicole suspects that ghosts are inhabiting the...

SPOOOOOOOOOOOKTOBER is still here! Today is Eric’s pick and he chose to pick a film that is a callback from Episode 1 of The Film Snobs, and we only talked about it for 15 minutes. A film that deserves hours of conversation, directed by Na Hong-jin, “The Wailing.” This film is NOT for the faint of heart. A film that delves into the supernatural and the demonic. WE really crack this film open. Guest STEVEN joins us on the pod and we manage to have more than a few spooooooky technical...

Snobbies. WELCOME to SPOOKTOBER number 5!! We are really excited to bring these films to you. This is a SPOOOOOOOOKY time of year and this weeks pick is brought to you from Cody as Caleb is out of the country. A film that Cody said his Great-Grandfather played a minor role in, a film directed by Robert Florey, “The Beast with Five Fingers.” 1946 brings a star performance by legendary actor Peter Lorre and we talk about this films in’s and out’s, how creepy older films used to be, how this...

A thing happened and a Founding Snob would like to have a warm word with you Snobbies. Enjoy.

Welcome to the FEVER DREAMS!! Snobbies, this week’s pick comes to you from Eric’s mind. This pick features ET’s Henry Thomas and is directed by directors Brian Trenchard-Smith & Russell Hagg, “The Quest” or also called “Frog Dreaming.” This film was a big split. Some of the snobs liked it and one snob definitely did not like it. A film about a child who wants to find the mysterious truth behind the local “Donkeygin.” This was a fun one, Enjoy! Film Discussed: The Quest...

Snobbies. This pick was LEGENDARY. Here me. LEGENDARY. Today we have Cody’s pick for Childhood fever dreams and we have PLENTY to talk about. Cody’s guest CAMBELL joins us on the pod and he was a blast. Join us as we discuss Richard Williams “The Thief and the Cobbler.” We talk about his incredible animation style, the beautiful attention to detail, how this film was changed and changed again, how there are many different versions of this film, and so much more. We even get a special audio...

WE ARE HERE!! This topic is a bit of a trip! We have decided to do Childhood Fever Dreams! Films that we watched when we were young and barely remember the details. This episode’s pick is Caleb’s pick and he picked a truly unwatchable film, "Summer of the Monkeys." haha. We couldn’t find it for rent, buy, or stream. It was only on Youtube in 10 parts with part 4 missing, haha. WE REALLY enjoyed talking about this wacky movie and talked about our own experiences with childhood fever dreams,...

WELCOME BACK! We’re here not with Jared’s pick for ROM COMS but his wife’s pick! This pick can be described as a CLASSIC rom com from the hay-day of romantic comedies. This film stars legends in Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, directed by Donald Petrie, “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” This film was funny, witty, smart, and iconic. The film was not without faults but we very much enjoyed the conversations around rom coms and their demise among other things. We hope you enjoy this...

WELCOME BACK! We’re here with Eric’s pick for ROM COMS and ON TIME! Haha, ANYWAY, this week’s pick is from the early 2000’s and comes from director John Hamburg and is a pick that Caleb guessed last episode, “Along Came Polly.” This is our THIRD Philip Seymour Hoffman film in an many months and we are HERE for it. We had an absolute blast talking about this film and even talked about poop for like 10 minutes…trust me…it gets wild. ENJOY! Film Discussed: Along Came Polly (2004)...

Hey there Snobbies. Sorry for the late entry. Things have been a tad hectic on out end. Pretty rare for us to miss a Monday release. Today’s pick comes to us all the way from across the pond! But he’s here now! It’s ETHAN JASSO!! He has picked a gem of a RomCom for us this week, The Silver Linings Playbook! We had such a blast talking about this film and mostly just having fun with our very good founding snob Ethan. We hope you enjoy this ep! Film Discussed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Punch Drunk Love...

Hey there Snobbies. Today we have Caleb’s pick for ROMCOM. Jared came in HARD that this is NOT a RomCom. This was heavily debated on this episode as we discussed why the Paul Thomas Anderson Directed film “Punch Drunk Love,” belongs in this category. If a film’s heart is romance and comedy, isn’t it a RomCom? Is it a NeuroDivergentRomCom? Is it just pure chaos energy? What we DO know, is that this is a heck of a film and we were here for it! Eric especially loved any time Philip Seymour...

Snobs. HOLY COW. Or should I say….Holy BEAVERS! WE decided to watch a INSANE film from the creative and genius mind of Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews…comes a film unlike anything you have ever seen, and we can confidently say this, “Hundreds of Beavers.” This film is taking a silent film approach with ADR and hyper-toonlike-violence and we are HERE FOR IT! We talk about Beavers, Rabbits, raccoons, trappers, Santa Claus, surviving the winter, genocide, and much much more. With ZERO...

Sup Snobbies. We have a FILM SNOBS FIRST!! Today marks the first time we’ve had a repeat guest TWICE in a row. Lydia is back with her take on Cody’s pick this week. We gave Cody the assignment to pick the topic and the film. He picked ROM COMS, and picked the unlikely choice of “Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines,” directed by Ken Annakin. This film was such a blast to talk about and we enjoying singing the theme song all the way through. Come on this ridiculous journey with us as...

Today is Eric’s pick and he picked one his favorite films of all time when he was a kid, Stephen Sommers, “The Mummy” This episode is a lot of us talking about the Mummy, but even more of us talking about other random things haha.

Snobbies! We’re back with Cody’s pick for REMAKES and this one is a stone cold classic. Kurt Russell has never been hotter?? Questions mark?? This remake is from a 1951 original called, “The Thing From Another World,” adapted from the 1938 novel, Who Goes There? WE WATCHED Director John Carpenter’s,  “The Thing.” THIS. FILM. RULES!!! We had an absolute blast watching this film. Every once and a while, the Snobs watch a film that just makes us react. The Thing was more psychological than we...

We talked about Russ’s top 4 films, all the crossovers, Matt Daemon in a truly iconic role, Josh Brolin’s voice, Steinfeld KILLING IT at 14 years old, and much much more. WE...

Welcome back everyone! And welcome to a special mid-week episode of the film snobs. Today we are featuring Part 2 of the Annual Snobbie awards. The SNOBBIES are a very important and yearly tradition where we come up with the categories and criteria and then feature films that probably didn’t have much of a chance in the Oscars and some that did.

This episode was a blast as the brothers picked a film that we did NOT expect, 2018’s…from director’s John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein…GAME NIGHT! Jason Bateman’s best and most straight man and Jesse Plemons’s absolute most hilarious and awkward roles he’s ever done.  This was such a fun film to talk about and thank...

This week we have JOHNATHAN, who appeared on the “Good Morning” episode and had a lot of great insights. Back on the scene and only 17 years old!

Good morning SNOBBIES! And welcome back to our episode on Terence Davies month. This week we have Jared’s pick and he decided to go with “The Long Day Closes.” This film has a similar feel and vibe to Distant Voices, Still Lives. In this film we follow the perspective of Bud, a boy in Liverpool in the 1950’s, coming of age around the other family members and the austere Catholic Church as he enters the rigors of school, nurtures a bedazzled love of the movies and longs for companionship....
