  • Episode V: Chocolat

    Episode V: Chocolat
    Sep 20 2026
    In this episode, Brooke picks the 2000 Lasse Hallström film 'Chocolat' — and makes the case for why it works. We dig into Johnny Depp's turn, the ensemble's strength, and the movie's themes of tolerance and temptation, run through a rapid plot recap, and unpack what makes the film feel so sensual, romantic, and distinctive. We also put it in awards context, revisiting the era of adult studio dramedies, before landing on our final takeaways about the movie's humanity. Then it's back to the dungeon: a feast with magical food buffs sets up a riverboat flirtation challenge with Josephine, followed by a burning boat rescue mission that spirals into a villain reveal and combat on the river. The Count is pacified, the fire contained, and the scenario resolved — capped off with ratings, an MVP debate, next movie pick, and a playful farewell.

    Episode IV: Chaplin's Gold Rush — and a Survival Showdown in the Cabin
    Sep 13 2026
    We dig into Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush — why it still matters, its most iconic scenes, and Chaplin's blend of comedy and emotional power — before dropping our characters into the film's world for a survival challenge: a blizzard search, a cabin battle, a ghost fight gone wrong, and a final showdown with Black Larson on the cliff's edge. We close with movie ratings, a best-supporting-character debate, and settle on Chocolat as the next watch.

  • Episode III: Love, Simon and the Henry Rollins/Channing Tatum karaoke showdown

    Episode III: Love, Simon and the Henry Rollins/Channing Tatum karaoke showdown
    Sep 3 2026

    This week we put Love, Simon on the table — why it works so well as a glossy YA studio crowd-pleaser, where its more manufactured conflicts wobble, and how the movie lands now when it comes to coming out, parenting, and emotional universality. We recap the plot, argue over what still hits, reminisce over the Greg Berlanti CW Arrowverse, ask the all-timer question of what it would look like if straight people had to come out, and hand out final scores plus best supporting element. Then the RPG chaos kicks in: a Halloween-party infiltration, a beer pong hustle, a mission to steal Martin’s phone, and a magical attempt to give Simon his agency back through karaoke, honesty, and confession. We close with the dice choosing the AFI Top 100 and finally landing on "The Gold Rush," and a nod to Andy's love of Hitchcock's "The Lodger."
