No, not Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne’s riff on Columbo, Poker Face, nor even Lady Gaga’s early hit single. The Poker Face we discuss in this episode is a Russell Crowe project through and through, with him not only starring, but writing and directing as well! It’s nice that the man is branching out. Too bad this movie takes so damn long to figure out what it’s about!

Our esteemed host for the mini, Mr. Elliott Kalan, takes Dan and Stu on a tour through Oscar history by quizzing them on some of the most forgettable Best Picture winners of all time

Booksmart was one of Dan’s favorite movies of its year. Director Olivia Wilde’s big-budget follow-up, Don’t Worry Darling… has problems. Dan, Stu, and Elliott chat about them, while mostly ignoring the extra-textural hubbub around the movie. Mostly. Don’t worry, darlings. Or do. We aren’t your dads.

Anyway, they made a long, boring movie about him, so we talk about it.

The videos are in, and it’s time for the listeners to vote on who wins the Sexy Xenomorph video contest, for some FH prizes, including getting to pick a movie for us to cover! ONE: First off, Ottilie contributes this intricate, all-puppet interpretation of our sure-to-be-hit single! TWO: Elizabeth’s version is a delightful collage. A […]

Hope you’re ready for a “mini” that’s as long as one of our regular episodes! With the new year just beginning, Dan, Stuart, and Elliott look back and discuss their top movies of 2022 (with the caveat that none of us has the time to see everything in the “best of ’22 conversation), and also […]
