The Nobody Asked Podcast

In our series of covering up our film holes, Kevin picked Singin' in the Rain for Ricky and Taylor. This leads the guys down a discussion about the conversion of cinema to sound, other "nobody asked" podcasts, and the title question: does a classic film like this hold up in the modern era. New episodes every (some...)

After watching Fight Club we all took a shower to feel clean again, and sat down to discuss its themes and whether or not Brad Pitt deserved to be 99's "sexiest man of the year". We get into what it means to be cool and heightened masculinity can lead to guys punching each other in a basement.

We try our best to stay up to date with all of the current blockbuster super hero films, especially Ricky, so we knew we needed to cover Black Panther.

The 70's gifted us with Star Wars, and 2015 may have given us more of the same. We take some time to debate whether or not The Force Awakens was effective in revitalizing the Star Wars franchise or if it was simply a rehash. Ricky seems to hate the film but claims he doesn't, Kevin feels alone on an island of Star Wars fandom, and Taylor is unsure whether or not he would allow his children to see this film.

With the amount of films we have made since the creation of the art form, we take a look back to see if 1942's Casablanca is still considered one of the best.

The plan was to have a nice and positive look at 2008's Oscar Award winning Pixar film Wall-E, but it quickly became the opposite. Instead of focusing on the kid friendly storytelling we got caught on our sometimes overly critical views about the film's execution. Does Wall-E contain too much social commentary? We may think so... New episodes every Tuesday! Join us next week for "Casablanca".

It may sound like we are stating the obvious, but our title for this episode is quite the contrary. Ricky enlightens the world of a new discovery that dinosaurs are in fact dinosaurs, Taylor tries to remember the plot for his favorite childhood film about dinosaurs, and Kevin fails to keep the show on track.

With the spookiness of October behind us, we move on to a more wholesome film, "The Sandlot". We look back on how we remember it as a kid and how it compare to the other 90's sports films.

Spooky October is coming to an end, so we celebrated by bringing in our friend Nick to talk about one of his favorite scary movies "Scream". Being a film that messes with the conventions and tropes of horror, it lent itself perfectly to a discussion about how horror movies affect us and build off of one another to create the genre.

We are getting close to Halloween, and in honor of that upcoming holiday we decided to cover something scary. Since Taylor has been heckling us for weeks to watch Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining", we felt it was the perfect opportunity! Find out what we thought about Wendy's ax wielding abilities, Danny's creepy tricycle, and Jack's relationship with a dead bartender. New episodes every Tuesday!

We've made it past our tenth episode! We figured now was the time to get a little light hearted again, and cover Pixar's Oscar award winning "Inside Out". While analyzing and critiquing the film, we also took a deep dive into what our brains look like as well! And who knew that one of us would hate Pixar shorts about lava and choose this kid friendly and joyful film to hate on. New episodes every Tuesday! Join us next week for "The Shining".

We haven't covered a recent release since episode one, so in honor of our tenth episode we decided to cover another! After seeing Blade Runner 2049 we give you our spoiler heavy thoughts on how it stacked up against the original.

After watching the Blade Runner final cut together we discuss its central themes and storytelling elements. We tackle its commentary on humanity and identity as well as its uses of visuals and score. This one may have stumped us in some ways, but we do our best to figure out what exactly it's trying to say.

Ricky and Kevin discuss Robert Zemeckis' "Back to the Future" and Taylor contributes his thoughts as someone who has never seen it. Not only is Taylor astonished at the plot of the film, but also discovers that his son is back from the future. Kevin also finds plot holes in the film, Ricky gets vulnerable, and there is a guest appearance by Taylor's wife.

In an attempt to get Taylor to lead our discussion, we picked Christopher Nolan's Interstellar as our movie for the week! Taylor contributes with philosophical observations, Kevin brings in unneeded facts from set, and Ricky shares his unfiltered thoughts after his first viewing of the film.

It's a tense one this week! We chose Quentin Tarantino's '09 film "Inglorious Basterds" this week, and spent some time figuring out how he creates such great tension. There may or may not also be some interrupting of genius analysis in order to create an intro, no Taylor to be found, and a look at whether or not we should add that explicit tag.

The 80's were filled with crazy action adventure films, but none like the 1981 Spielberg classic Raiders of the Lost Ark. We break down how Indiana Jones compares to our other 80's heroes and what deeper themes are at play in the film.

In this episode we not only discuss Disney's 1994 classic The Lion King, but we also have some classic banter between the guys. Our main discussion centers around The Lion King film and its impact on our parenting, comedy, and lives, its uses of music and themes, and its reflection on society as a whole. Outside of The Lion King we break down Taylor Swift's new disaster, ponder philosophy, and for the most part try to stay on topic.

Our film for discussion this week is the 1972 Francis Ford Coppola classic "The Godfather". Since it's Ricky's first full viewing of the film we get his take on if its truly the greatest of all time. There may also be some discussion about absinthe, the IMDb top ten movies of all time list, and a very entertaining review from one of our best fans.

We give our opinions on audience and critic relations while discussing Alejandro Iñárritu's "Birdman". There may also be some banter about large red buttons you aren't allowed to push, Taylor's issues with a specific airline, and the specifics of titles in weddings.

For the first episode of the Nobody Asked Podcast we take a look at whether or not "Dunkirk" places Christopher Nolan at a new level in film history. We also establish the banter that you will come to expect from our podcast, and our hopes for episodes to come.
