What's this? The end of 'Talk and Trivia'? Say it ain't so!Welcome, folks, to EPISODE 100 of your weekly J&J film review program. Two years it's been; two years of in-jokes, randomness, good films and bad. We hope you've enjoyed it... But all good things must come to an end. But don't get too worried about us: the boys won't be disappearing off the map, and if you desperately need your weekly hit of film reviews and rabbit trails... well, stay tuned.This week Jon and Joel cover all the gory, terrifying details of 'The V-V-Vitch'! Can a family of New England Puritans fight off the evil presence in the woods? Does obsessing over sin make us less depraved or more? Is it better to save your soul, or be true to yourself? Also are all five-year-olds this horrible? Yikes.Enjoy, folks.SPOILERS ABOUND...

Wwwwhy hello Joel! And hello folks. It's EPISODE 99!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!! But we'll play it chill. Happy Belated Valentine Day's.Meanwhile, the guys are changing things around. Big plans, big plans. Life and spreadsheets and bloomin' onions. Oh, and they watched a romantic comedy bad-ass superhero movie snarky meta-film something called 'Deadpool'. I don't know.Enjoy.SPOILERS ABOUND...

Howdy folks, and welcome to the ninety-eighth installment of this thing we do which has no name... Within, you will information, uplift, and yes, entertainment. But not too much death, surprisingly. What's your Religion? Who's your Savior? And crucifixes aside, how much overlap is there between this film and 'The Hateful Eight'? You'll have to find out for yourself.Don't look at the man behind the curtain.Enjoy.SPOILERS ABOUND...

Howdy folks! It's been a while but here are the guys, together again to talk about life and snowfall. You may find you wake up and realize that global warming doesn't exist Chinook winds are totally cool. Meanwhile Joel completely masters podcast editing, Jon reminisces about nursing homes, Joel talks about old age and sickness, and Jon decides that you will never be rich.Good golly, Miss Molly.Endulge your critical mind by listening to a couple of dudes unravel theirs....

Boop boop. Howdy folks! The other J has returned, just in time for the former J to head off on an excursion of his own. Such is life. So while Joel's off riding crocodiles in the everglades of Missouri or Alabama, here's Jon to rattle on about Sundance and cowboy toast and cast-iron skillets and 'The Witness'. Oh, and Louis C.K.! Have you heard about this web series Louis surprised the world with? It's kind of weird. Yeah.But why don't we get back on topic? Enjoy.SPOILERS ABOUND...

As Jon concludes his adventures in the far-away lands of the dancing sun, Joel bravely sets out to review a film all on his lonesome! Quiver with fear and prepare your ears, for it might be a bit of a bumpy ride.Joel reviews Charlie Kaufman's latest project, the stop-motion-animated "Anomalisa". Tune in to learn about about Starburns, Tom Noonan, Kickstarter and being a sh*tty human being.You can call me Anomajoel from now on. That is all.Enjoy.SPOILERS ABOUND...

It's one of those days, folks. It's film day, wheeeeee! The guys have looked back on the past year, and the bajillion good films they have not watched, to choose one worthy of their expert reviews. But instead they chose 'Bone Tomahawk'. (Oooo burn!) Spoilers, tomahawks made of bone play a big role in this film, and often outplay the dialogue insofar as brutal, vital metaphor is concerned. Could this be the artist's intent? Is language just another inept tool that we clang against rocks? Can Kurt Russell make any film good? Can someone tell me what's going on?Enjoy.SPOILERS ABOUND...

Double IPA's, gas anxieties, robot layers, fortresses of solitude, and change on the brain.Endulge your critical mind by listening to a couple of dudes unravel theirs....

"What is malt liquor?" This week, the boys talk nonsense mostly. Oh, well Jon talks nonsense. Joel talks about actual TV shows that people are watching. But that's just about as it should be. As Aaron Paul says, the price is right for life being good. He didn't say that. But I mean... he could've.Enjoy....

Hey folks. We have just seen a movie, starring the Day-Caprio himself as 'The Revenant'. Dream trees, meesen, "I'm Tahm Hardy!", pelt-lugging, and spiritual journeys abound.Enjoy.Tell me why-heee!SPOILERS ABOUND...

We meet again under cold, dark night folks, to talk a little nonsense. Oh, and also a film. A big film. That's right, the boys are reviewing Tarentino's eighth film, 'The Hateful Eight'. Follow along as J&J try out their Q.T. impersonations, count all the characters, and think too much about curved walls. Oh, and talk about the film. Extensively.Enjoy.SPOILERS ABOUND...

Jon's a little confused here. Should the 'Bullsh**' segment of this podcast be all about argument and debate, or perhaps just a place for fostering new and strange ideas? Who knows!But that doesn't stop the J's from throwing their inhibitions over the balcony, blustering through their differing ideas about dreams. Do we dream in narrative? Does the media we view shape the dreams we have? And why do dreams feel important to us? Who knows!Endulge your critical mind by listening to a couple of dudes unravel theirs....

Why hello folks. We're a couple days late, but hopefully you enjoyed your holidays. Anyways, wish Joel a Happy Birthday and give a Jon a cookie. Or you know, whatever.Enjoy....

What's the word, folks? How goes your individual lives? In clase you didn't check the title of this episode, and you really should have, this week the guys review a film based on a book about the travails of the ship that inspired the guy who wrote the classic novel that became a legend because nobody reads anymore. What? Ron Howard's 'In the Heart of the Sea'.Enjoy.SPOILERS ABOUND...

Hello out there! This is a live broadcast of B.S. with the J's... at least it's live for us. This week, Joel has a concern: laptop keys. Have you ever been watching your favorite television show or the latest, highly-acclaimed genre flick, when your compatriot-in-arms decides to start munching popcorn too loud? Or unwrap twenty individual hard candies? Or clackety-clack on the computer in his lap? Doesn't he know he's distracting you and quite possibly himself? Isn't this a self-evident universal rule of media-viewing? Does Joel have the right to slap that laptop right off Jon's lap? Well, let's talk about that.Endulge your critical mind by listening to a couple of dudes unravel theirs. And enjoy....

This is th' Et Cetera Sunday, with the Talk and the Triv, the Joel and the Jon. But who needs introductions? Jon will ramble about sarcasm and cookbooks and making things from scratch. Joel will overview Chris Hardwick's romantic drama '@midnight', based on a conversation he had with Julie Delpy in France; and admit to owning a magical VHS copy of 'The Pagemaster'.Oh, and then trailer talk: 'Marvel's Avenger's Captain America: Civil War' Trailer 1 and 'Batman v. Superman' Trailer 2!May Future Jon watch over you. Enjoy....

It's that time of the year, folks: the time when the Christmas lights go up, families are heartlessly slaughtered by the fireplace, and all the great movies are released at once! Prepare yourself for a late-night, double-feature picture show, featuring Michael Dougherty films!What? Is Joel singing The Imperial March under his breath? Nooope, he's just terrified of the Halloween horrors showcased in 'Trick 'r Treat'. Lots of masks, lots of death, and vaguely comic-strippy credits? Fair, I suppose. Then... have you been good this year? You better watch out: 'Krampus' is coming to town. Lots of jingling bells, off-screen deaths, and hot cocoa.Enjoy.SPOILERS ABOUND...

Hello out there! This is a live broadcast of B.S. with the J's... at least it's live for us. But before we get started, can't Jon just have his rules, Joel?! Then shoehorns aside, how about a topic that we can all sympathize with: in a world of practically endless media, how do you choose what to watch? Is there a morality importance to what you view and engage in, from art to film to music to pizza? And what do those things that you choose say about you?Endulge your critical mind by listening to a couple of dudes unravel theirs. And enjoy....

Well hello, world. Here we are for another session of T. and T., with a focus on Et Cetera. First up, a bit of philosophy; Jon has been reading about Jacques Lacan during his Wikipedia searches (of life), and he wants to share it with you! Also sweater retirement. And to close, Joel talks all about Netflix's latest TV addition to the MCU, 'Jessica Jones'! A.K.A. 'Krysten Ritter Versus The Doctor'.Yes and yes and quite. Enjoy....
