Some movies are arthouse masterpieces. Other movies are mainstream popcorn crap. And sometimes the crap turns out to be art and the art turns out to be crap. That’s what's great about movies. To quote Gary Sinise in The Cremaster Cycle, “Movies are like a box of mysteries. You never know what you're gonna get baby!” Each Friday on Weekend at Bergman’s, Forever Dog co-founders and movie lovers Brett Boham and Joe Cilio watch two movies - one from the arthouse and one from the mainstream - and pit them against each other in a fight to the death. Brett and Joe debate what makes the movies good and what makes them bad. They watch scenes. They present research. They solicit listener feedback. And at last, they decide which movie is The Better Movie and reward it with a place in the Canon. Meanwhile the Other Movie is tossed into the bottomless Trash Canon and Brett and Joe are never allowed to watch it again for the rest of their lives. That's the agreement they made. That's what's at stake. So what's it gonna be? The Seventh Seal or Weekend at Bernie’s? In the Mood for Love or She’s Out of My League? Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles or Die Hard? Which movies survive and which meet their demise? Listen to find out. Produced by the Forever Dog Podcast Network.

    Ivy Insights

    The Weekend at Bergman's podcast had me hooked from the start. Initially, I wasn't sure about Joe and his role in the show, but over time he won me over and now I'm fully invested. I particularly enjoyed their review of "Weekend at Bernie's", as it is a fantastic movie and they really captured its essence. The hosts make it clear that they are being honest in their opinions, although their constant reminders of this can be somewhat defensive. However, despite any potential doubts about their honesty, Brett and Joe offer insightful perspectives on both high and low cinema, providing great hot takes on what makes a movie good. Additionally, their long-standing friendship adds a dynamic banter to the show that is both entertaining and endearing.

    One aspect of the podcast that could be improved upon is the theme song. It seems like a simple fix for Brett to obtain a karaoke track for it instead of singing it himself. Nevertheless, this minor flaw doesn't detract from the overall experience. Another potential drawback is the hosts' occasional tendency to veer off-topic or engage in inappropriate banter. While this adds to their chemistry as friends, it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

    In conclusion, The Weekend at Bergman's podcast is like attending film school without the crippling debt or uncomfortable encounters with professors. Despite some doubt about the hosts' sexual history (or lack thereof), Brett and Joe provide a delightful blend of comedy and film analysis that will appeal to both fans of cinema and comedy enthusiasts alike. From their costumes to their passion for movies, every episode of this podcast is a joy to listen to or watch. I eagerly anticipate more episodes from these two talented individuals.

    An eight hour livestream in honor of Brett's 40th birthday. Part 2. With special guests Jaida Essence Hall, Heidi N Closet, magician El Ropo, 9 to 5 writer Patricia Resnick, Joe and Jenah Silver, working actor Andrew Block, and Andy Warhol (Brett Davis). Representing the arthouse, it's Andy Warhol's eight hour continuous shot of the Empire State Building, Empire (1965). Except that it's impossible to get a copy of Empire because the Warhol Museum keeps it under lock and key. So instead we watch Andy Warhol's Minion (2022), an eight hour continuous shot of the Universal Studios Minion. And representing the mainstream, it's 1980's all-time great workplace comedy 9 to 5, directed by Colin Higgins, written by Patricia Resnick, and starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Dabney Coleman.
