Two friends with vastly different taste in movies make each other watch movies they can't believe the other one hasn't seen yet. Some are classics, some are guilty pleasures, but the chat is always contentious. Warning! Spoilers and naughty words.
We're back! In this episode we talk about things to watch, read, or listen to during this unprecedented time. Please enjoy and stay tuned for more regularly scheduled episodes! We hope...
In this episode we discuss two "lost in time" movies both starring our new favorite, Brendan Fraser. Okay, he was always a favorite and "Blast from the Past" and "Encino Man" make it very clear why we love him. Also, PAULY SHORE.
This episode we take a look at two films with clear authorial voices, two films that come from a distinct and pronounced culture - ok, really we just wanted to force each other to watch these. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Dolemite." Put some windex on it, muthaf*cka!
We tried to talk about twin films "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" but we just couldn't. So instead, we talked about general ideas regarding movies and art, trying hard and still making a bad movie, jam bands, and codpieces. We hope you enjoy! SPOILER ALERT! At about the 32 minute mark we talk about "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and totally give away the ending. Rejoin at 43 minutes.
This episode we look at some 1980s vampire movies "Once Bitten" and "Vampire's Kiss". We get very silly and there is a lot of giggling - oh! And vulva eruptions!
In the first episode of our second season, we DON'T discuss two of Keanu Reeves's best movies; we discuss their sequels! Listen to us slog through "Matrix: Reloaded" and "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" in this long episode featuring favorite guest, Tom Buck from The Enthusiasm Project.
It's been a whole year! We can't believe it. It's been so much fun and we're going to keep doing this, whether anyone is listening or not. This is a quick nugget of us being goofy and not talking about our assigned movies and previewing our next pairing which will kick off season 2 of Reel Disagreement.
In this episode, we look at the 2003 Oscars for Best Picture - the one that won "Chicago" and the one that maybe should've won: "Gangs of New York." We also describe Rob's dance moves and talk about the weird meme cat. And we look for Ana.
In this episode we look at two movies from 2018 that we picked mainly because Amy's list was really short. Turns out, "Venom" and "Sorry to Bother You" are both about megalomaniacal jerks who want to take over the world - so it was a good pairing.

This is part 2 of a very long episode discussing "Miss Congeniality," "Demolition Man," and Rob's inappropriate relationship with Amy's mom.
This episode is part one of a deep dive into two films starring Sandra Bullock and Benjamin Bratt. Part one examines "Miss Congeniality" and Rob makes some off-putting jokes about Amy's mom.
This episode looks at two Melanie Griffith movies, Roar and Working Girl. One has animals covered in hair and the other is Roar! (That's an Alec Baldwin hairy chest joke). Enjoy!
In this episode we discuss two beloved Halloween films. One is a Halloween film and the other is a classic zombie movie, so that counts! Dawn of the Dead and Hocus Pocus are facing off. We also have a special guest! Please enjoy.
Back after a month-long medically induced hiatus, Amy and Rob take on 80's high school movies. Just One of the Guys and Better Off Dead are put under the microscope in this episode and, well, it's hard to tell how the hosts feel about them because of all the time they spend talking about other things from the 80's.
In this episode we talk about censorship, parenthood, fascism... oh, and Independence Day and Starship Troopers.
In this episode we struggle through a couple of so bad they're good movies: Wild Things and Miami Connection. If you like ninjas, fighting, and girl on girl action, well this is the episode for you.
In this episode, we discuss movies about inanimate objects turning on their human masters: Rubber and Maximum Overdrive. We also discuss the relationship between an artist and the audience and what responsibilities exist in that exchange.
In this episode, we are just trying not to melt. The heat is so bad that we stayed in our houses and entertained ourselves with The 'Burbs and Doctor Detroit. It worked for a while.
This episode, we discuss movies about mothers with our SPECIAL GUEST! We take a look at Aronofsky's mother! and the Herbert Ross classic, Steel Magnolias. We also examine Rob's dead soul.
In part two of Movies We Loved When We Were 13, we take a look at the Schwarzenegger classic, Commando. We also discuss Rob's thighs quite a bit, as well as sing a little Danzig.
In this two parter, we discuss the movies that adolescent us loved and that adult us are a tad embarrassed about.
Episode 14 goes to 11...while doves cry. We decided to tackle musical movies, one we both had never seen and one we both love. One is a dumpster fire and the other is a perfect movie. Listen while we take apart This is Spinal Tap and Purple Rain. We also firmly establish that Rob has never been a 13 year old girl.
This is part two of our conversation with Evan Unruh. In part 1 we talked about Clueless and in this one we tackle El Topo, and really, the nature of Art. Yeah. It's a big deal.
We decided to go back to our roots and pick movies that would definitely have us fighting. Too much agreement lately. But when we added a special guest, we talked for too long! So here is part one in which we discuss Clueless, Emma, Real Housewives of Whatever, and Dostoyevski.
This episode we take a look at two movies with feisty females and feminist story lines: 9 to 5 and Tootsie. We talk about looking at these movies in the #metoo era, Mike Pence, and shark teeth.
This week, we let other people do the singing since neither of us can. Frank and Hedwig and the Angry Inch are up for discussion and you can sing along!
This week we fight about two movies that take old monsters and approach them in new, more modern ways: Frankenhooker and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
This week we discuss Fire in the Sky and The Fly, but until after we discuss a bunch of other stuff. It's a long one, but our departures are fun and make us and you question how you like a story to be told.
Disclaimer: There are about 10 seconds of sound missing at about 14 minutes in. Sorry! Not sure what happened... still learning! In this very special episode, we discuss only one film, a film that inspires love or hate, nothing in between - Hook. Grab your Lost Boys and get ready for a heated debate. Bangarang!
This week we explore Patrick Swayze's various contributions to cinematic history by discussing Dirty Dancing and Roadhouse.
In this episode, with our new name, we discuss The Cutting Edge and Bone Tomahawk. The commentary is... sharp. We hope your response isn't... cold. Warning: Major spoilers and inappropriate cuddling talk.
Who doesn't love Kevin Kline? Not us. We felt like talking about this American treasure and so we watched A Fish Called Wanda and French Kiss.
This week's selections were about mean people: Rob watched Mean Girls and Amy watched Green Room. Skinheads and socialites. Apologies in advance, the sound is a bit wonky on this one. Sorry!
For our second episode, the theme was very loosely The Devil. Amy watched The Exorcist and Rob watched The Devil Wears Prada. We said it was loose.
In our first episode, Amy makes Rob watch Pitch Perfect and Rob makes Amy watch Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Sex, drugs, and a cappella.
