Two dudes. Too many movies. Too much time on our hands. This is our show.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Get on the haunted nostalgia train as Alison and Brendon rewatch and review the 1993 Disney classic, Hocus Pocus. Come back to the present as they review the sequel that’s been 29 years in the making!
Alison and Brendon recap and review some of the biggest shows of the last month. Special guest appearance by Werewolf by Night!
Alison and Brendon discuss all things Disney Studios. Join them as they talk about their long history with the House of Mouse, from their early beginnings to their complicated relationship with the modern juggernaut, and everything in between.
We officially welcome Alison as a full time host! Get to know a little about all of us as we discuss our favorites. Movies, directors, actors, guilty pleasures, and more. As always, Alison stresses out about her answers, Parker berates everyone, and Brendon gets pretentious!

Sean joins us to discuss a casting of a potential Fantastic Four movie, and specifically who the folks over at Wizard Comics cast in their “Casting Call” section way back in 2000. What do you think of this blast from the past, and who would be your perfect Fantastic Four cast?
Let's talk about a terrific titan of cinema, Steven Spielberg. In order to tackle this behemoth the boys bring in their very own dinosaur: Parker's Dad. Join the crew to discuss the “Golden Age” of Spielberg, his incredible output over the last 50 years, and if he's dropped off in quality in his later years. […]
Parker's Dad joins the boys to discuss his general dislike of slow movies, but only a select group of slow movies. Some of them he thinks are great, some of them he thinks suck, and they're trying to figure out what separates the two. Tune in to help them figure out what Tim is talking […]
We're once again joined by Alison to take on a modern remake of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and who we would pick as our cast. Alison gets emotional and struggles to let go of the original cast, Brendon has some terribly studio-friendly picks, and Parker is certain that he has cast the perfect […]
Alison is back with us to discuss adaptations, what makes them good, bad, and how difficult they are to make. We discuss what makes an adaptation good, how loosely the source material can be used, and if there is such a thing as a “spiritual adaptation”. There's plenty of content in this episode so come […]
Someone on Reddit posted on r/UnpopularOpinion about remaking the original Star Wars films and we just had to discuss it. Parker makes a pretty compelling argument for a remake, while Brendon has some insightful comments about what makes Star Wars particularly special.
Alison returns and the crew overcomes some camera issues to discuss and review a trio of movies (and show.) Listen to Alison attempt to defend the so-called charisma of Aaron Taylor Johnson, Brendon talk about his favorite line in all of cinema, and Parker obsessing over his favorite comic book.
We're kicking off a new segment! Brendon dug out his collection of old Wizard magazines and we're going through the “Casting Call' article and discussing their picks for the entire Batman franchise. Parker goes in completely blind and judges the casting decisions and sometimes makes new ones on the fly. Does the Wizard casting hold-up […]
The boys are joined by Sean to discuss his favorite director, Christopher Nolan. Instead of spending the entire episode gushing about Nolan's films we decided to talk about some of his faults, and how it impacts our enjoyment of his work. Join us as we discuss: intentionally bad sound mixing, the overall misuse (or outright […]
The boys take a look at the first teaser for the upcoming Amazon Prime show, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and in particular what the worst of Reddit thinks about it. We talk about the use of CGI, the feel of the world, comparing the new series to the Peter Jackson trilogy, […]
“You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” – Whale Jetski, Marcel the Shell Join us on our last A24 episode of the month to talk about Marcel the Shell and the newest hit from Netflix, The Gray Man. This episode is spoiler free so you can still enjoy the wonder of Marcel the […]
The boys decide to watch Midsommar and Hereditary, in tribute to both A24 and Ari Aster. Both of them are easily terrified, so horror movies are a special kind of hell. Tune in to discuss Florence Pugh's incredible acting, Ari Aster's obsession with grief, the influence of toxic people, finding a family, and how perfect […]
Let’s talk A24’s impact on the industry, and what sort of difference a film’s budget can make. Alison joins us to discuss if mid-budget independent films have a place outside of streaming services in a post-pandemic world.
We discuss the influence Guillermo del Toro has had on Parker's love of movies, and what sets him apart as creative. Brendon tries to ask some pondering questions but ultimately gets distracted by Pacific Rim trivia. Tune in to discover all the pending projects del Toro has ongoing (and will likely never be able to […]
The boys give their conflicted thoughts and feelings on Thor: Love and Thunder and the finale of Stranger Things Season 4. And by conflicted thoughts, we mean Brendon.
“Robert Pattinson tries too hard to be an indie actor” says some idiot on Reddit, and it’s our job to try to prove them right. Parker does his best to accomplish that task, while Brendon refuses to be any help at all.
We're once again joined by our resident A24 Bro Connor to discuss what makes A24 different from other film studios, and why it has such a massive following. Parker ponders whether the distinction is deserved, and Brendon is surprised about all the films A24 has made.
Parker finally gets around to watching The Lighthouse, even though he's historically had an issue with black and white movies. Brendon waxes poetic about the layers of meaning behind the film, and we're joined by our resident A24 Bro, Connor.
The boys discuss revolutionary film scores, what purpose a film score serves, and their impact on us as people. Parker gets emotional just thinking about the “Up” theme, while Brendon is shocked to silence about Parker's ability to hum a tune.
Brendon is finally back and has plenty to say about all the movies he's missed out on talking about. Parker is frustrated with Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he'll continue to watch every episode because he doesn't like being happy.
Ratings and reviews, who needs them? In this episode we discuss critics, from the late and great Roger Ebert, to the infamous Armond White. Plus we look at what reviews mean to us, and whether it changes our decision to watch a movie. Finally, Parker gets very upset about the difference between Rotten Tomatoes and […]
We force CJ to watch Bachelor Party, a Tom Hanks movie he hasn't seen that may actually change his mind about America's Dad, Tom Hanks. Parker spends the entire episode obsessing about a donkey doing drugs
The boys discuss toxic fandom, what it is and how to deal with it. Brendon starts having PTSD while we discuss Star Wars, and Parker gets weird about Rick and Morty.
Alison joins Parker to discuss recent releases including Stranger Things, Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Top Gun: Maverick, Downton Abbey, Heartstopper, and more!
In a new segment we discuss the influence that one creative has had on one of our lives. This month we look at Brendon's teenage love: Kevin Smith. It's part career retrospective, part personal stories, but all Kevin Smith.
We face our toughest challenge yet: convincing CJ to enjoy Tom Hanks. On this episode of Objectively Wrong, we talk about America’s Dad and why our friend CJ can’t stand him.
People have been writing articles about “The Superhero Bubble” for the last decade, so the boys decided to look into it. Are Superhero films going to go the way of the Western? Have all genres basically stayed the same in terms of popularity? Also there's a little film school 101 with a quick overview of […]
Some moron on Reddit thinks Leonardo DiCaprio plays the same character in every movie, and the boys are going to do their best to defend that garbage opinion!
Parker has always had a hard time getting into Anime (shows and films), and so he decided to find out why. The boys talk through various cultural differences in the East versus the West, and especially what those differences mean for their practice of storytelling.
Until now, Parker had never seen the 1988 masterpiece “Akira” – tune in to see if he thinks it's worth revisiting or if he wished he skipped it instead. Whichever he decides, he's almost certainly wrong.
Studios, Producers, and Distributors are constantly blamed for getting in the way of an artist’s “creative vision”, but how true is that really? The boys look at examples where studio interference helped movies to become better, and also where they made the movie significantly worse.
The boys discuss Moon Knight, The Northman, Cinemacon, and a few unfortunate movie experiences recently. Neither of us have seen Dr. Strange yet, so don't worry about needing to see that first!
People are always saying that “art is subjective”, but what about when someone thinks something that is just plain wrong? From Joker and Taxi Driver to Fight Club and American Psycho, the boys discuss films that people frequently get wrong, and the consequences that can occur.
Did “Kindergarten Cop” change Alison's mind about Arnold Schwarzenegger being entertaining? The boys were entertained, but Alison is stubborn and consistently refuses to enjoy things that make people happy. Tune in to find out what she thought!
Given that every film franchise needs to have some element of nostalgia involved we discuss nostalgia, what it is, why it's important, and why it doesn't fill the gaping hole left by the departure of childhood innocence.
The boys discuss Ms. Marvel and Thor: Love and Thunder, as well as Neil Gaiman, Ed Brubaker, Elden Ring, and misogyny on the internet.
Does watching a franchise movie ever burn you out? Are you tired of heroes in capes punching villains also in capes? Are you just fed up with that same old Intergalactic Conflict? Join the fellas as we discuss burnout with big franchises, how to deal with it, and how studios can avoid burning their fans […]
Alison joins the show to discuss why she refuses to watch any movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, mistakenly believing that he is not entertaining. The boys do their best to show her why she's objectively wrong.
The boys discuss good, bad, and plenty of ugly trailers. Plus we look at how trailers are made, why some of them suck, and those we adore.
Brendon is replaced by Alison in this episode rounding out the first half of April 2022. We discuss Everything Everywhere All at Once, Morbius, the ever expanding Harry Potter universe, and the unexpected career trajectory of Indiana Jones favourite child sidekick, Short Round.
The boys get serious. We discuss separating problematic people from the art they create. Has Harvey Weinstein’s influence ruined the movies he produced? Should we support the new Fantastic Beasts movie? Why has Mel Gibson been welcomed back into Hollywood? Join us as we wrestle with problems that don’t always have easy answers.
A new segment where the boys tackle a film that probably should have been tackled a long time ago. This week, Brendon sells out and proves he has no integrity (or dignity) whatsoever as he watches James Cameron’s AVATAR for the first time ever!
The boys discuss what makes a movie “Cinema”, what Martin Scorsese meant, and whether movie theatres would still be in business without the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Check in with the boys as they discuss everything they’ve been watching and doing for the last couple of weeks. Parker rants about his love/hate relationship with the Oscars and Brendon tries not to fall asleep! Plus we talk Brian De Palma, Turning Red, Don’t Look Up, and Elden Ring.
We discuss our binge-watching habits during the pandemic, whether we prefer going to the theatre or watching from home, and how Parker’s ADHD impacts his ability to pay attention to what he’s watching.
