Steven Spielberg's classic film on dinosaurs allows us to explore the differences in white and black families facing attack from dinosaurs AS WELL as the sexual appeal of Jeff Goldblum as he moved from THE BIG CHILL to THE FLY to here. Stalking Laura Dern. All while Sam Neill gets stuck with two annoying kids.

This film may have had the greatest impact on one host's life decisions. As in don't EVER put yourself in a situation to be around annoying kids. Dinosaurs are okay though. Enjoy!

In a film that opens with Whitney Houston of all people lamenting the dating scene and ends with Wesley Snipes being a sad cad at the bar our two hosts are left with a lot of material in WAITING TO EXHALE that ends with an amusing anecdote on the Beyonce and Idris Elba starring OBSESSED... which neither one of us have seen. But we did watch this movie!

Professional podcasters after all. Enjoy!

... and in movie podcast guests. This cold hard fact was reiterated to us when we invited on Jairo of SOBER CINEMA to talk about his favorite human in Mr. Kevin Costner. Our guest has absolute trust in the decency (and indecency) of Mr. Costner which is why he entertains any number of swapping notions with him. Madonna in THE BODYGUARD instead of BODY OF EVIDENCE? Not after she calls Kev a dork in TRUTH OR DARE. Willem Dafoe? Not good looking enough for DANCES WITH WOLVES.

No one is. And one is safe around this man. Except for Whitney Houston in THE BODYGUARD. Mostly. Enjoy!

If one grew up in the 90s those defeated souls could not escape the pop culture wisdom that came out of Winona Ryder's dumb mouth. Thankfully a better cast of Maya Angelou, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Bustyn, Lois Smith and Alfre Woodard make up for the slow death march that is Wino Forever.

Also Dermot Mulroney is in this. That seems oddly fitting. Kind of like having Winona superfan Dave Giannini of OFF SCREEN DEATH on to ruin a perfectly good podcast. Enjoy!

Kim Basinger finally enters this dorkfest that is Tim Burton's BATMAN and even though we didn't understand why as young men... we knew things were improving.

Unfortunately we still have to survive another Bat-minute with HBO's Arliss as he proves himself an inadequate sidekick to the future love interest in the man in a bat suit... JUST LIKE OUR GUEST Dave Giannini who returns to promote his podcast OFF SCREEN DEATH and all of the crimes he would commit if he had the powers presented in BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA. Spoiler alert: watch out redheads.

Enjoy!

While one might not call this throwaway romcom late in Clint Eastwood's career as the ultimate title drop movie... it still manages to annoy one co-host enough to negate any charms Justin Timberlake brings to the table in his pursuit of Amy Adams. Those charms include:

• Roleplaying as her brother who makes out with her in a bar fight.
• Denied a kiss so he gets naked.
• Feels betrayed, throws a tantrum and then plays baseball trivia.

Classic cinema. Enjoy!

We return for Batman Day! And since this is sometimes a minute by minute analysis of the defining film of our youth BATMAN (1989) we should know what Batman Day is.

But we don't. In fact we are confused by when it is supposed to happen while getting that it ABSOLUTELY SHOULD.

In celebration we present an episode with returning guest Tangible Teddy to discuss the parade of fear that Gene Hackman and Clint Eastwood bring to a town of sex workers in the Best Picture winner UNFORGIVEN. Enjoy!

Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney sure do a lot of complaining about romantic partners that look like George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer. Meanwhile both hosts, noted child hater Mike and even previously proud father Derek watch this 1996 romcom and come to the conclusion that the kids are to blame.

Not just for Pfeiffer and Clooney not getting down to business quicker.

Not just for all of ONE FINE DAY.

For everything. Children... are awful. Enjoy!
