War Machine Vs. War Horse

Patricia Clarkson becomes the official face of TiT... ...but Stanley Tucci isn't far behind. This duo of perhaps the greatest onscreen parents in EASY A allows two old men to discuss the sexual politics in a high school setting... and now that I'm looking at that sentence I should probably make clear that these show notes are a collaborative effort between hosts. Mike has very little oversight on this show. What we do have is a charming film announcing Emma Stone as a movie star and a continued defense of Lisa Kudrow. Kind of. Enjoy!

A formative film in one man's youth. And a formative film in one man's middle age as well! WILD THINGS is everything to everyone! Especially if you are Matt Dillon. Somehow not reaching his apex of creep as he would later in 1998 with THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY... but he still does pretty well for himself here. We debate if Neve Campbell is white trash enough, how Denise Richards should have been a great sitcom star and whether or not there's enough bacon from Kevin Bacon. All in all another family friendly episode of TiT. Enjoy!

We come to the conclusion that we wouldn't have survived 1978. On the other hand we've come of age post 9/11, a recession and a global pandemic so 1978 had the simple amusements of Clint Eastwood and a monkey riding around in a truck; 1978 can go kick rocks.

One host just doesn't understand the blue collar desire for Clint Eastwood and a monkey. The simple pleasure of life. The greatest film of 1978. EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE. Theme song included. Enjoy!

We open the episode with no faith in the human race and end up with a passionate discussion on the musical GREASE. Somewhere in between we talk about possibly the first Academy Award Best Picture winner on TiT in Michal Cimino's THE DEER HUNTER. Giving it the proper respect it deserves. But that Rizzo, my goodness, that brings back awkward school memories...

A correction is issued by one host for fear of being tracked down by a venomous social club. Meanwhile the other host maintains his composure by doing what most white male film fans do when confronted with an international film he doesn't understand by citing a Tarantino movie that ripped it off. (This may also just be yet another excuse for him to think of Uma Thurman.) Regardless of the mistakes that we made much merriment was have by watching THE FIVE VENOMS or FIVE DEADLY VENOMS because we need as much SEO help as possible on this little podcast.

In which even a trilogy of threesomes isn't enough... what about a foursome? Emotional and sexual rumbles! Flashback to one host's love triangle! Another host proudly playing the part of the pervert! All of this and slightly more as we discuss the functions of threesomes in AS GOOD AS IT GETS, THE STATION AGENT and VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA.

In which Rebecca Hall gets her revenge. Maybe this was a little THE NIGHT HOUSE buzz talking (currently taking HBO Max by storm... probably) but after her appearance on our episode for THE TOWN last month she gets to enjoy the company of Scarlett Johannson, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz. And also two time featured player this month on TiT, the great Patricia Clarkson! (Notice how these show notes are not mentioning writer and director Woody Allen NOR how many times his films have been featured on this very podcast. We are so good.) Join us for our most sporting episode yet as we discuss who makes our starting threesome and who rides the bench. It is TiTillating.

A film so good that two DVD copies are needed just in case of divorce. We continue the least sexy threesome trilogy by going with the quiet, contemplative and platonic Tom McCarthy film THE STATION AGENT. Peter Dinklage and Patricia Clarkson don't contribute much to Bobby Cannavale's one man show of dialogue... which would normally set off two guys whose friendship is based on talking at great length BUT NO MATTER! This film is CHARMING and more importantly is the classic Mr. McCarthy wishes SPOTLIGHT could be! That's the closest thing to a hot take you will find on a podcast on THE STATION AGENT.

Jack plus any other two equals a good time. Even if the character Mr. Nicholson is playing is racist, homophobic, sexist and any other cancellable offense. The thing is though... he was offensive in 1997! But he's Jack Nicholson! Which excuses a lot. (Disclaimer: but not everything.) Since we are not Jack we have to work a little harder to out-charm this classic from James L. Brooks WITHOUT using the cheat of an adorable dog and multiple grand gesture monologues. Although this being a movie podcast... there's already some monologuing. Charming!

Batman is more than an HBO Max premiere. It's a podcast event. And we celebrate all the Batmen in our lives. Mainly because one co-host wants the other to stop talking about Battinson (that unfortunately obsessive man has now watched the latest adventure three times) so he had to offer up these films to the podcast gods: Michael Keaton as a hero fighting for squatter's rights in PACIFIC HEIGHTS! Christian Bale attempting to elevate the discourse around pop music of the 80s in AMERICAN PSYCHO! And last but not least (and the correct host's favorite Batman) Ben Affleck heroically turning down Blake Lively in THE TOWN so that the world may know a true martyr in this godforsaken world! On that note... happy late Easter everyone!

In which we travel back to a time when people liked Jeremy Renner. Though he's playing a character in Ben Affleck's THE TOWN that is only SLIGHTLY less likable than Hawkeye. Thankfully if Renner at his best is still not your cup of tea we have Blake Lively (at her worst... which is still really nice) and Rebecca Ferguson continuing her cinematic journey of being the straight arrow surrounded by shenanigans. Boston shenanigans. Shamrocks! Fenway Park! All brought to you by two movie podcasters from Kentucky and Virginia. Brining some Southern hospitality to the massholes robbing banks. That's the ticket!

In which even a dork finds many horrific acts more appealing than Reese Witherspoon. Thankfully we don't share Christian Bale's taste in romantic partners... or more importantly his love of HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS in the modern classic of a dark comedy AMERICAN PSYCHO. Along the way we debate if this avoided becoming a college dorm room poster thanks to the sensibilities of director Mary Harron and NOT the author of the source material in Bret Easton Jack Ass. Oh and did we mention the protagonist's hatred for Jared Leto in this film? Maybe we have more in common than we thought... Enjoy!

In which real estate thrillers aren't that thrilling. Michael Keaton upset a young Batman fan back in 1990 but a lifelong devotion to Melanie Griffith was born with that VHS rental of PACIFIC HEIGHTS. Unfortunately the same can't be said about Matthew Modine as the hosts spend a good few minutes searching for his charisma (answer: AND THE BAND PLAYS ON or when Julianna Moore is sans pants) and answers to the real estate market.

In which one host caters to the other who really, really loves his funny books. But also... we are pandering for listeners with the only new release around. Thankfully (?) director Matt Reeves is making the media rounds pulling from superior works such as SEVEN and ZODIAC. Alas, there is no David Fincher behind the camera but there is Colin Farrell in a lot of makeup hiding his pretty face. I don't know if that's good or bad but enjoy the latest episode of TRILOGY IN THEORY!

A valentine episode with enough distance from that wretched holiday. Get drunk instead this week for St. Patrick's Day! Traveling to a second love comes very naturally to this podcast especially when a Kevin Smith joint is included. A future month feature a trilogy on the amount of times this great auteur has been mentioned on this podcast... but today is all about Ben Affleck picking up garbage in JERSEY GIRL! Also the amusing nudity of Jason Segal in FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL! And unfortunately (especially after those two previous sentences) we honor the loss of William Hurt as featured here in THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST. Overall another depressing episode of TRILOGY IN THEORY perked up by male nudity and the appearance of Mr. Affleck. For a brief combination of the two we will program GONE GIRL at a later date.

In which we applaud the use of crying and male nudity in film. While also still finding it very funny. Also some disagreement to be had in the applause a man deserves for calling off oral sex when having a crisis of conscious. These show notes for FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL are going to do gangbuster numbers with the SEO material provided by Jason Segal, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill... let's see who else will provide some hits. Paul Rudd and oral sex! But not really. Bill Hader and comments about oral sex! Kind of! Enjoy!

In which Liv Tyler somehow makes us miss video stores even more. One host could be forgiven for stopping with Ms. Tyler but apparently there are at least two other Jersey girls in Kevin Smith's much maligned JERSEY GIRL. We are glad that the world is a little more welcoming of a Ben Affleck/Jennifer Lopez romance in 2022 but remain split on the idea of fatherhood and musicals being good for The One True DAREDEVIL.

In which it all comes down (or up) to height. We can assume the above was the tipping point for Oscar voters when appraising the Academy Award performance of Geena Davis in Lawrence Kasdan's THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST. However Kathleen Turner is fine. Very fine. Okay, we will eventually turn our attention to William Hurt. But not before an odd moment of stanning for Meg Tilly. Who is not in this movie. But remains in one co-host's heart. (Shameless self-promotion in our own show notes: check out our prior episode on PSYCHO 2 for more Tilly fandom. Yes, it's odd.) Enjoy!

Ae winter holidays for an episode wondering why we can not be happy. What began with a Thanksgiving feast Paul Newman's old beautiful blue eyes filled with youthful glee at his pranks in NOBODY's FOOL turned to Sam Raimi decidedly not having fun in the new year with his crime gone wrong in A SIMPLE PLAN. And then we get to one of the biggest comedy actors of all time choosing to get his heart broken repeatedly on Valentine's Day in ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. Thanks, Jim Carrey.
