grp.film is a roundtable discussion podcast where we dissect our favorite movies in a fun (but also hopefully intelligent) way.
As Tony Stark once said, part of the journey is the end. Steven, Brian and Andy are re-united with their fellow Avenger Josh to discuss the culmination of the MCU's Infinity Saga. In a pod bigger than a giant-sized Ant-Man and almost as long as the actual movie (what, you wanted more?!), these four hosts reach gush levels never before seen as they review Avengers: Endgame. A pod this long was inevitable, but if you love this movie like we do, we're sure it'll go by in a snap...Timestamps:Introduction – (00:00)Story Time – (03:48)No Cap Recap – (11:50)Opening Lines – (19:05)Best Thing I've Ever Scene – (35:12)Behind the Scenes – (47:55)Winners and Losers – (01:12:50)grp.

Can you feel the love tonight? We certainly do!

Sweet beans! There's been a murder (not really, relax)... Brian, Steven and Andy kick off the second half of this season with Rian Johnson's 2019 whodunit Knives Out.

So strap into your X-Wings, lock S-foils in attack position and get set up to make your attack run on this pod!
Momma always said grp.film's pods are like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get. In our first ever two-man episode, Brian and Steven get on their shrimp boat and pour their hearts out for the beautiful 1994 drama Forrest Gump. Like the film, this pod is both funny and a little emotional. If listening to it is your destiny; we promise you won't feel cheated.
No, this is not an April Fools joke. We have no words to describe this movie. Well, Brian and guest Ailyn do (Steven's just laughing the entire time). Yes, this is thirteen minutes of your life you'll never get back, but we're saving you a couple of hours watching this abomination of a film, so...
City of grp.film listeners... are we podding just for you? Yeah, we are. Brian, Steven and returning guest Ailyn share their fascination (and heartbreak) with Damien Chazelle's 2016 Oscar-winning film La La Land. It's a two-hour conversation down the Los Angeles hills. Enjoy!
Prepare for a bitter harvest... this pod has come at last. Joel Schumacher's second and final Batman film put the franchise on ice (pun intended). Andy, Steven, and guests Kai and Aaron pull out their bat skates and absolutely destroy this film. We couldn't pull the plug on this one fast enough.
On this episode of Ticket Refund, Brian, Andy, Steven and JJ share their thoughts on 2022's movie adaptation of the popular Uncharted games. Does the film succeed at what it sets out to do or does it crash land into the ocean after falling out of a plane? See which hosts enjoyed the adventure and which wish they'd stayed home.
Like Bourne, we didn't have a choice. This pod had to happen! Steven and Andy are joined by returning guest Kai to praise Paul Greengrass' 2004 follow-up to The Bourne Identity. Listening to this pod won't be a mistake... we don't make mistakes.
Everyone who went to see this film (and Mary Jane) deserves an apology. What happened to 2007's Spider-Man 3? Brian, Andy and Steven look back at Sam Raimi's final Spidey flick.
With great ability comes great accountability... is that how it goes? Andy, Brian, and Steven are joined by fellow web-heads Josh and Saul to share their enjoyment of 2018's animated hit 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse'. It's one of our longest pods yet, so tie your shoes, please, and don't forget to tell the world you love us by hitting that subscribe button!
Lost World fans and Lost World haters...not good bedfellows. In this latest episode of Ticket Refund, Brian, Steven and Andy are rejoined by guests Iris and Juana to discuss Steven Spielberg's 1997 sequel to Jurassic Park. Temperatures rise higher than a summer day on Isla Sorna. Enjoy!
Listening to this pod won't hurt you, we promise... why, we wouldn't hurt a fly. In this pod, Brian, Steven, and JJ explore the greatness of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 globally-renowned film Psycho. Don't be surprised at any gushing; all of us go a little crazy at times.
No need to lawyer up. We didn't record this pod just to give you 30%, we're here to give you everything. Steven, Brian and Andy are joined by Juana and Iris for a serious conversation about the 2010 Oscar-winning film The Social Network, a retelling of the creation of Facebook, but also about so much more. We hope you give this pod part of your attention, even if it's the minimum amount.
Sequels based on extremely bad scripts and no Keanu never work out. Andy, Brian and Steven talk about the 1997 sequel to 'Speed'. Yes, it's just as bad as we remembered, so we're taking the cruise control off and speeding through this one at ten knots...
You must pay for everything in this world, one way or another. There is nothing free except the grace of this pod. Brian, Andy and Steven discuss the Coen Brothers' 2010 remake of True Grit. If you would like to lie in a coffin as you listen to this, it would be all right...
This movie Wolverine-clawed us in the heart. In this week's Ticket Refund episode, Brian, Andy, and Steven attempt to come to terms with what is undoubtedly one of the worst X-Men films. Warning: we spoil the movie from the very beginning.
Whether you're left side or strong side, we want to make sure you remember...forever...the night these guys recorded this podcast. Andy, Steven, Brian, and returning guest Kadin blitz all night as they share their feelings on the inspirational sports classic 'Remember the Titans'.
Sometimes there's no need to go back in the water. Jaws: The Revenge proved it. In the first of several upcoming shorter podcasts, Brian, Andy and a very ashamed Steven briefly discuss one of the all-time greatest atrocities in cinema history.
Casino Royale re-invented James Bond, but fans were initially worried. Is this movie still as great as we remember? Who and what made it what it is? Is sucking on someone's fingers in the shower ok? Listen to Steven, Brian, Andy and pod newcomer Edgar discuss this and more in their analysis of Daniel Craig's first outing as the beloved 007 (spoiler: this latest pod...nearly killed Steven).
It's the grp.ies (pronounced 'groupies')! Every great movie deserves to be celebrated...who will take home which award, though? Andy, Brian and Steven announce the winners that you, the listeners, helped vote on. They'll also reveal the movie lineup for Season Two! Better grab a seat; the show is starting!
