    Henry took a break from raising a human person to visit with our old friend and friend of the pod, Alex Gellner!  Two thirds of us actually watched the movie, and the other third gets to try to figure out what it's about.  Maybe they shouldn't cast elderly men as teen boys from now on.

    Reunited and it feels so gooooood! For the first time since starting the 'cast, we are in the same room! And what better way to celebrate than with year 2 of our Jolly Old Saint Nick tradition. We highly recommend you join us in watching the 1988 cult classic Vampire's Kiss. Our holiday gift to you.

    Well I'll tell you one thing right now, this one *definitely* usurps Cool World for the horniest movie prize. Also apparently pudding is something that can be broken, like glass?!

    This absolutely baffling movie does everything wrong, but we'll give it this: it NEVER takes its foot off the gas. It's bad and gross and we laughed so hard talking about it.

    Episode 37 - Anne Hathaway in The Last Thing He Wanted

    5% on Rotten Tomatoes? Had to. Not a full-blown atrocity, but it IS the lowest-rated film on Netflix!

    88 minutes, 6 red herrings, and a partridge in a pear tree. This was a fun one. My apologies to Francis Ford Coppola.

    This one's a little late, but maybe the fact that Michelle inexplicably watched the movie *twice* in 24 hours will make up for that?

    This movie might be v. dumb (and also somehow sticky?) BUT it's a pleasant palate cleanser after Shadowboxer. This is our second Steven Dorff flick in two weeks and MAN did that guy need to fire his agent.

    Is this the most pretentious movie ever or the dumbest? Well folks, it's both. If there is such thing as a "depressing romp" this movie is exactly that.
