Brunch Movies

Wouldn't be Brunch Movies epic season without at least one epic delay! So here it is nearly 3 and a half months in the making: the season 4 finale. The brunch boys take a look at the Brunch Menu and see if any new favourite make the exclusive club. We dole out some awards in this years' Brunchies. And of course, we take a look at our declining listener numbers (which surely is due to the Joe Rogan Spotify boycott). With babies on the way this might be the last you hear from us for a while (or will it be?).

Its that gay old time of year (Christmas) and we're talking about being happy. Happy Christmas, as the brits say. This is the Christmas movie that wasn't but became a Christmas movie because PBS was too poor to play any films whose intellectual property hadn't become public domain. Come get your wings by ringing the Brunch Bell or jingle bells if you have 'em.

The elemental and epic season comes to a close and we welcome editor Jack aka Jedi to help us out. We revisit M. Knight Shyamalan's un-classic Avatar; based on a children's cartoon...brought to life as a child's nightmare. Will Aang master the elements? When will the Jungle season premier?

We made it to the final episode of the epic season, filled with movies of epic length (Lawrence of Arabia), epic scale (Lord of the Rings), epic romance (Titanic) and epic stupidity (The Snyder Cut). We thought we had fully explored all the elements (say em with me...) but we had forgot to ponder the absence of all elements: the Space Element.

This is Scorcese's finest film, the epic mafia movie that started it all! Is the the podcast episode you can't refuse to listen to? Don't wait for a horse head to be delivered to your bed to find out.

Journey down the amazon river with the brunch boys, as we get political while discussing Werner Herzog's masterpiece Aguirre.

Worse than Justice League: The Snyder Cut better than the actual events of 9/11 a movie no one asked for and no one enjoyed. The brunch boys get loose as we talk through the ups and down of WW2, some conspiracies and the origins of Ska!

Its Dune the biggest movie of the year, and maybe the greatest sand film of all time? Well we don't go that far, but file this under the sand element you Avatar heads (the air-bending one). I like my brunch with a bit of spice, and a body shield. The slow blade may pierce, but you'll want to hurry to your record players to hear the Brunch Boys break down this film!

When we say we're back, we're actually back. The epic season continues with a maybe not so epic movie...but we do master the element of Air and thus complete our Avatar training (the one with air bending).

Dave and Andy aka the Brunch Boys are back, and nothing could be scarier than that. Dragons! Fire! Matthew McConaughey! This is as halloweeny as we got. We missed you and we hope to be back for the rest of the year! But don't hold us to it.

Dave and Andy are confused over which is the real Avatar, and they take a break to watch Gravity. That is to say this episode is typically meandering. Does the most popular movie of all time equal brunchiness? Find out on this week's episode!

Kevin Costner does have gills in this one! Flop like a fish? Or flop like a Flintstone? We get into Pangaea and why no one ever talks about the Panthassic ocean.

The blacker the widow the sweeter the juice. The MCU is back baby, but Dave is high from getting dose 1 of the COVID vaccine so he's too busy for the podcast. Andy enlists his old pal Mike to talk about the lastest epic in the Avengers saga. Lots of bits and free flowing conversation, and we may mention the film a bit.

Greatest love story ever told or ship sinking slowly? And we're just talking about Dave and is Papa. James Cameron makes a billion and we watch it fall to the bottom of the ocean.

This was a movie that people wanted I guess? We're not sure if Batman was in it, but we are sure glad its over. Future Todd swings by to tell us the film was actually good and we have a real comic book expert Brandon aka Professor Xeeps!

In season 3 we complete the epic trilogy of doing that thing with the ring. We're kind of out of takes, so we dip into the Lore Drawer. Dave learns about the Ainur.

We are joined by special and returning guest Matt (@mattwaste) for his Tolkien expertise. Dave struggles to differentiate the Humans, Orcs, Elves and Urukhai while also referring to the whole affair as taking place in the Middle East. We admire various war cries from across the realm and ponder whether horses are actually good. But is meat back on the brunch menu? Find out as the epic season continues.

With Andy moving to Middle Earth, the brunch boys figure they should travel from one town (the shire) to another town (mordor) and log all their breakfasts, second breakfasts, elevenzies, dinners and suppers along the way. In examining the first in this classic Peter Jackson trilogy, Dave and Andy grapple with who's their perfect huMANoid, how easily canceled Tolkien is, and figure out where it ranks among fantasy epics and brunch movies

Enjoy an epic film Know the way of bushido Savour the brunch taste

The real boys of brunch are back from 40 days and 40 nights in the desert, only to find themselves back in the desert. But the good news is, we love the desert! We catch up with G-D, Ramses, Moses and Dathan (all you favourites from the Jewish Bible aka Torah). Is religion brunch? Or are our sinful ways of early morning boozing doom us to burn with the bushes?

Jon here again. Still no sign of Dave or Andy from their desert adventure but the Brunch Movies brain trust has the future of the show well in hand. In this episode Todd and I painstakingly reconstruct the lost episode of Cloud Atlas, feed my new podcasting algorithm some new takes and cakes of our own, and discuss the future of the show and how this is definitely not another coup, it's completely sanctioned and a legitimate episode. Todd swears to God. Swears to me!

Hey this is Jon. In the dark again. Not sure the whereabouts of Dave or Andy but their last known recording was the greatest movie... maybe even the greatest brunch movie ever made. I know they went to the desert to record this and managed to get it to me to edit but damn... I hope they're alright. I also hope Todd's not involved again. Anyway, here's your latest Brunch Movies episode in the most epic of seasons!

Is he great? Is he good? Is he just so-so? Find out on this week's roaring 20's bootlegger brunch movies.

It was all a goof! We're back talking brunch and talking movies. This week we present exclusively the ONLY MOVIE FROM 2020: Chris Nolán's Tenet. The brunch boys dub this season the epic season in honour of what is shaping up to be an epic 2021 with our (not my) President Biden. We might not get political but we will get EPIC.

Warning!!! This podcast is for MEN ONLY. Women should not listen. Brunch is done, we're all about the ladies now. And this film features two of the thottiest thots in the thotverse.

Opening up 2021 with a great podcast Ep! Listen to hear about our diminishing podcast listens, the updated brunch menu, and a special award for the worst podcaster of the year. Looking forward to Season 4!

Alternately: skipping brunch movies. We complete a Tim Allen trilogy, as we celebrate this holy day. Brought to you by Carnival Cruise. Merry Christmas to all of our fans! And the haters and losers as well.

As Andy and Dave grapple with a mysterious illness, pinch-hitter host Todd and faithful producer John/Jack reunite for a one-two punch analysis of Capote and its sequel, Truman (a.k.a. Infamous). Get your fish and meat dishes ready as we ascend to a new level of brunchdom, revolutionize segment order and the brunchiness rating scale, and take a deep dive in these films' rampant gaiety of all stripes and rip-roaring social scenes! Get well soon, Andy! Dave. Love and champagne kisses! -Todd

Agents are cool. Tom Cruise is cool. Brunch is cool. When chick flick meets entourage movie magic is made. But will brunch be showing up on Jerry's doorstep to say "you complete me?" This episode will have our listeners screaming "Show me the Honey! So I can pour it on my biscuits" at their next brunch outing.

Well, the boys are back... to discuss the greatest statistics-based movie ever made - Moneyball. Do you like money? Do you like ball? Do you like winning? Well, the boys do. Thanks for sticking with us through our break. We'll have a bit more of an accelerated schedule until the end of the year.

In this John Favreau passion project about John Favreau's character's passion project, we talk about the gastronomical oversights that could've brought this film to the next level and show some warm blooded appreciation to the Favreau's stacked heroines gallery in our new segment, Hollywood THOTs. With a special appearance by Dusty "Rainman" Hoffman.

A the end of season 3's Tom Hanks Trilogy, have we found an all time  brunch classic? Was Captain Geech and his Shrimp Shack Shooters a ska  band? And take a trip into the unknown with Dave's conspiracy corner.

Part 2 of our Tom Hanks Trilogy is brought to you by FedEx: The World on Time. We couldn't be happier than to be partnering with this great company.

The beginning of a very special trilogy of Tom Hanks movies, while Leo has the spotlight here it sets the tone for a very Hanksian style of film which we'll explore over the next 3 episodes.

Do you what they call French Toast in France? A Royale Toast. Can a movie with male rape scene be brunchy? Depends on how brunchy the scene is. This episode is a tasty burger.

Can a game of clue brought to the big screen add a dash of Poirot and a sexy puking caregiver to win the hearts of the Brunch Boys? Does an all star cast make for excellent brunch company? Dave and Andy already struggle with who is alive and who is dead, but tune in to find out if they can crack this brunchy puzzle.

If you're like me, its been a while since you've seen a good old-fashioned film about starting a blog in post-9/11 NY, and in that sense Julie and Julia deliver. Meryl Streep gives an incredible performance doing her best Mrs. Doubtfire impression. We'll mansplain blogging and let you know whether this movie about cooking is brunchy or not.

This movie isn't in English. Meaning the brunch boys had to read in order to process this film. And like your brunch menus we recommend that your movies are in English. This also won best picture at an award's show called the Oscars, and Trump said Gone with the Wind should have won so maybe we should have watched that instead? Anyway, beware of birds.

When explaining the concept of the podcast the most frequently asked question is "you mean like breakfast at tiffany's?" No that's not what we mean, except in this episode. Find out if racism can be brunchy, as we go back in time.

This episode is hard to describe, so I'll just say that I can guarantee this is a take on the Lion King films that you have never heard anywhere.

In this episode we talk about Lindsay Lohan's cans. I mean we talk about the movie Mean Girls starring Lindsay Lohan's cans.

Two twins! Who is sexier Danny DeVito or Arnold Schwarzeneggar? Is eugenics good and do bald white men really have the best genes? We answer all your questions and more as we revisit the classic comedy Twins. Get ready to hear a lot about the male body, and also John Travolta's "wife."

A podcast we recorded before this movie was released in the US, but released after the movie has been on DVD for 6 months. Also, we rank the entire MCU in terms of brunchiness! This should tide our fellow brunch avengers over until phase 4 begins.

EMILIO! So nice we had to feature him twice. Dave and Andy reminisce about Red Wings games of yore and debate whether drunk driving makes you a better sports coach. We go deep on the origins of "cake-eater" and step in to the directors corner to show how the Hawks / Ducks rivalry impacted more than just the greater Minneapolis area. Whether you'd rather win or quack, you're bound to enjoy this episode!

NOTE: this is intended to be listened to while watching The Breakfast Club. We provide an audio cue for when you press play during the first few minutes of the podcast. Enjoy! Season 3 begins with our first-ever commentary track episode. Long asked for, John Hughes classic the Breakfast Club finally gets the brunchiness judgement it deserves. This one is for the true fans since you have to actually watch the movie AND listen to Dave and Andy bullshit for nearly 2 hours. Bonus: Andy's wife Hana makes her podcast debut! Don't fear the rona, let the Brunch Boys put you in a coma.

Long lost from Apple podcasts, part of our spring cleaning prior to the launch of Season 3! Enjoy this brunch movies classic, Babe!

Andy and Dave discuss the cultural importance and relevancy of the movie Friday with all the delicacy it requires from two white guys. Such as: is Friday just Ferris Bueller minus white privilege? This release coinciding with a certain substance becoming legal in California has absolutely no relation.

Andy and Dave venture from the concrete jungle all the way to the real jungle, back to the concrete jungle and yet back again to the real jungle. Such is the world of Tim Allen’s Jungle 2 Jungle. We grunt a lot and even throw in a phone call to the "real" Tim Allen!

Dave and Andy look back on season 2. We talk about listener numbers, favorite segments, and episodes we really didn't like (Todd). Plus, we debut new In Memorandum and The Brunch Menu segments.

Oh boy, we're back again with the delightful movie Joker. Right on time for the movie's release as always. Get ready for some fun with your favorite brunch boys and enjoy this ep of Brunch Movies!

Wow, right on time again, a celebration of Andy's Wedding only five months late. Andy's friends were wonderful additions to the podcast and with much love we upload this in celebration of his and Hana's wedding. Congrats dude!
