    Ruth and Jeff (and a very special guest) talk through four movies about magic: The Illusionist (2006), The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013), Now You See Me (2013), and Now You See Me 2 (2016). Did these magical movies cast a spell, or should they be locked in a safe with a defective escape mechanism and cast into the bottom of a lake forever?

    Zoolander (2001)

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 14, 2022 21:53


    Ruth and Jeff talk about 2001's fashion-thriller-comedy, Zoolander, starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, and quote their way through most of the movie. Will this be a “cool story, Hansel,” or will the DVD “can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident”?

    Transformers (2007)

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 11, 2021 22:13


    Ruth and Jeff review Michael Bay's 2007 special effects action-drama (with some LaBoeuf wit to season), Transformers, having recently watched it with their kids. Find out on this episode whether this was a good decision, or whether the trailers decepti-conned them into mis-remembering this movie as good. (Oh, that we could blame the trailers...)

    Fantastic Four (2005)

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 10, 2021 27:03


    Ruth and Jeff review a Marvel movie that came out before every movie became a Marvel movie: Fantastic Four. No, not the one that came out a few years ago. The other one. Will it be Fantastic? Or is it Doomed?

    Miss Congeniality (2000)

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 9, 2021 27:57


    Ruth and Jeff review Sandra Bullock's 2000 comedy, Miss Congeniality. Will it win the pageant or will it not even make Top 10?

    A Mighty Wind (2003)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 29, 2021 28:56


    Jeff and Ruth talk about the 2003 Christopher Guest mockumentary, A Mighty Wind. Will it be a kiss at the end of the rainbow, or will the mighty wind blow it away?

    Bones: Seasons 1-4 (2005-2009)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 26, 2021 31:13


    Jeff and Ruth talk about several boxes worth of DVDs they have sitting close enough to the official DVD binder to count, containing Seasons 1-4 of the TV crime procedural, Bones. Will they bury them again back in the binder like any good anthropologist/detective might do, or send them off to the morgue (as in the thrift store)?

    Hook (1991)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 24, 2021 33:48


    Jeff and Ruth discuss Steven Spielberg’s 1991 flight of fantasy, Hook, starring everybody famous in the 90s. Will it learn how to fly back into the DVD case or be devoured by the crocodile of our recycling pile?

    Slings & Arrows - Season 01: Hamlet (2003)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 16, 2021 27:39


    Ruth and Jeff discuss the first season of the Canadian comedy, Slings & Arrows. Set in a fictional Stratford, ON, this Showtime series from the early 2000s starred Paul Gross and several other semi-famous Canadian actors. Find out on this episode of the podcast whether a future where their DVD binder still contains this series is “to be, or not to be”?

    Three Amigos (1986)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 10, 2021 17:41


    Ruth and Jeff discuss producer and writer Lorne Michaels’s infamous masterpiece, Three Amigos. Will the DVD survive its encounter with the El Guapo of this podcast or will it ride off into the sunset and out of our house in the direction of Value Village? Also stay tuned for the moment where Ruth mistakes Driving Miss Daisy for a much older movie, and Jeff is right about Dan Ackroyd being in it, but wrong about him being in Driving Over Miss Daisy (that was John Ritter).

    The Pagemaster (1994)

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 29, 2021 38:13


    Ruth and Jeff discuss civilly (at first) the merits and demerits of Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin’s 1994 library propaganda/fantasy, The Pagemaster. Jeff nerds out on animation stuff and Ruth draws some lines — join us to see if it survives!

    Murder on the Orient Express (1974)

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 21, 2021 27:47


    Jeff and Ruth discuss the 1974 adaptation of Agatha Christie’s ingenious Poirot mystery, Murder on the Orient Express. We may not be a jury of twelve, but we’re going to use every last one of our “little grey cells” to judge this DVD.

    Brigadoon (1954)

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 7, 2021 36:17


    Ruth and Jeff discuss the classic Scottish sci-fi musical, Brigadoon. Will this majestic masterpiece vanish into the mists (i.e., the garbage can), or will it live to be rewatched again — and hopefully sooner than a century from now! (Sorry, lots of Brigadoon-centric references in that write-up!)

    The Goonies (1985)

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 16, 2021 12:44


    Ruth and Jeff discuss the celebrity-stacked and profanity-laced 1985 kid's adventure movie, The Goonies. Is this DVD going to stay in their treasure chest (aka DVD Binder), or does it need to walk the plank?

    Pleasantville (1998)

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 29, 2020 21:35


    Ruth and Jeff discuss the special-effects-laden 1998 film, Pleasantville. Will their response be black-and-white, or will they have a more colourful reaction?

    Sister Act (1992)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 16, 2018 19:44


    Ruth and Jeff discuss Whoopi Goldberg’s Catholic masterpiece, Sister Act (1992). Ain’t no river wide enough, baby, to keep us from watching this movie!

    The Transporter (2002)

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 28, 2018 18:10


    Ruth and Jeff discuss the first of Jason Statham's Transporter movies. Are they "transported," or does the movie grind to a halt? Find out this episode!

    Clash of the Titans (1981)

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 27, 2018 22:13


    Ruth and Jeff discuss the 1981 special effects extravaganza, Clash of the Titans. Will they have to "release the Kraken" on this DVD, or will it be a keeper?

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 23, 2018 21:56


    Ruth and Jeff discuss the 2004 made-for-tv movie, The Librarian, starring Noah Wyle. As usual, they debate whether or not this DVD is worth keeping.
