If the boss baby from The Boss Baby: Family Business can enlist her family for their wacky adventures, then why can’t Elliott make this a little more interesting by turning the podcast into his own little family business? His eldest son, Sammy, joins us for the movie discussion portion of the show!
Stuart asks his friends a bunch of questions about themselves, and Dan and Elliott answer surprisingly sincerely. But don’t worry– there are still jokes.
Look, you didn’t think we were gonna let this one go by, did you? Does Space Jam: A New Legacy live down to the legacy of the original Space Jam, a film inexplicably loved by millennials everywhere? Or does it (gasp) manage to go even lower?
Dan challenges the others to a game he’s invented that has absolutely nothing to do with Monopoly, and everything to do with how quickly we forget the dreck we watch for this podcast.
It’s Cagemas in July! The second-cagiest time of year! So we invited Jordan Morris, creator of the Bubble podcast (available on Maximum Fun) and co-writer of the brand new Bubble graphic novel to come by and discuss the “aliens really like a good martial arts fight” action movie Jiu Jitsu, with a delightful turn by Mr. Cage as a wacky Yoda-like character.
While we’re sad to say goodbye to beloved Producer Jordan, we’re happy to welcome Producer Alex, as he drops by to tell us about a forgotten TV movie from horror icon Wes Craven, Invitation to Hell!
We’ll level with all of you — we ALSO prefer Hallie Haglund, and are at our happiest when she comes by to join us for some film talk. So we had to pick an extra-special movie to mark the occasion. And hoo boy. That movie? The wife of former Trump treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin and controversial figure in her own right, Louise Linton’s vanity project (as writer, director, producer, and star) Me You Madness. It’s the movie that asks “if I make fun of myself REALLY HARD, then you’re not allowed to make fun of me anymore, right?”
With Black Widow in theaters this week, we talk about the Marvel property everyone’s talking about! The Eternals! Elliott attempts to answer the important question: What’s their deal?
