SHOWNOTES
Episode #131 - The Knight Before Christmas
’Twas the Knight Before Christmas, a bad Netflix film, we talked on this podcast and bore it ill will! We kicked off our festive month this week with a discussion of a bad Netflix romance, Baby Yoda, MySpace, Christmas Jumpers, Tim Curry, and watching the Irishman as Scorsese intended.

Episode #128 - Love is Blind
They say that Love is Blind…but is it? This week’s film maybe answers that question. Or maybe it doesn’t. We don’t know.

Episode #126 - The Phantom of the Opera
It’s our last Halloween episode for 2019, and what better way to finish our run of horror/romance films than with 2004’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA? We also argue about prog rock and come up with probably our best movie idea yet: Wizard Cop.
SHOWNOTES

SHOWNOTES
Episode #120 - Keeping the Faith/Poochinski
On this week’s episode we discussed the underrated Ben Stiller & Edward Norton film KEEPING THE FAITH, in which they play a rabbi and a priest who end up in a love triangle. Perhaps more importantly, however, we discuss the TV pilot Poochinski, a cop show that sadly never got made.
