Episode 152 - An Issue With Scale

There's a Trivia Night report and some recent TV recommendations. Plus, the Franchise Report deals with some damn dirty apes and the Jason Statham Film Festival takes a look at Gnomeo and Juliet, because we're nothing if not comprehensive.

Episode 150 - The Jason Statham Film Festival: The Expendables with Larry Young

Writer, publisher, and raconteur Larry Young (Astronauts in Trouble, Black Diamond, Loose Cannon, a million other things) joins the Jason Statham Film Festival to talk about The Expendables. We talk all the big action stars, the ways in which the movie is weird and the parts of it that are awesome, and then we go on some tangents. It’s a wide-ranging discussion that includes Larry’s thoughts on being a canonical Marvel character. It’s a lot of fun!

So much fun that I forgot to mention our awesome sponsor teesbysummer.com! But check them out!

Episode 149 - The Grace Poll

This week, EJ's watching Apples Never Fall and Girls5Eva. He's distressed about some James Bond rumors and he's baffled by actors who look substantially older than they are. In the Franchise Report, The Thing is kind of a perfect movie. And the Jason Statham Film Festival lands on a real clunker with the eminently forgettable 13.

Episode 148 - Dune 2: High Voltage

This week, we're talking Fargo and Dune 2, both of which are great. Then the Franchise Report wraps up the Muppets with Muppets Most Wanted (Good!) and our series on The Thing begins with 1951's The Thing From Another World (Kinda Boring!). And finally, the Jason Statham Film Festival hits the big one with Crank 2: High Voltage, a movie that delights us to no end.

Episode 147 - Men of a Certain Age and Transporter 3 with Rachel Hadaway

A short-lived TV show AND a Jason Statham movie? That's right, Rachel Hadaway (Rachel's Chart Chart on the People Are the Enemy podcast) returns to talk about Ray Romano, Scott Bakula, and the much-missed Andre Braugher in Men of a Certain Age and then she helps wrap up the Transporter franchise. We loved the show and the movie is probably the weakest in the franchise but still has some truly awesome moments. We talk Statham's back muscles, three guys with iconic roles trying something new, and so much more. The conversation is so jam-packed that we totally failed to mention the Pets of a Certain Age, a wonderful French Bulldog and a first-rate Orange Tabby. We missed the chance to talk cute animals! It's a big epsiode!

Episode 146 -The Jason Statham Film Festival: Death Race with Lenny Burnham

Lenny Burnham (House of House; Chapter Surfing) returns to talk about Jason Statham's 2008 film Death Race. It's a movie that is both as dumb as you want it to be and smarter than you expect. We talk about the surprisingly on-point satire, Joan Allen and Ian McShane classing up the joint, Statham at his most jacked, and much more. It's really fun!

Episode 145 - Rowlf!

EJ talks about his favorite Muppet and whether or not said Muppet was inspired by Tom Waits. Also, Tracker Talk (but not much of that since nobody actually watched it), and the Jason Statham Film Festival hits an underrated classic with The Bank Job.

Episode 144 - Just Talkin' Movies

This week, EJ watched some movies! In theaters! He also saw some TV and played a video game from 2009. Everything is going very well for him and there's no reason for you to be concerned. The Jason Statham Film Festival looks at the surprisingly enjoyable War and the continuing look at the Muppet movies gets to The Muppets. It's fun!

Episode 143 - In the Pod of the King: A Dungeon Cast Tale

EJ talks about nostalgia and Oscar nominations before getting into this week's movies. The Jason Statham Film Festival lands on In the Name of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, which is an absolute disaster. And we continue our report on Muppet movies with Muppets From Space, the first truly disappointing Muppet thing.
