Episode 51: Napoleon Dynamite

Your mom goes to college. We are joined by both Anthony Lemos and Kent Fellure from the Ritual Misery podcast and the Diamond Club Streamathon to talk about the film Napoleon Dynamite. There are people who say that there is no point to this movie, Willie disagrees with that opinion and says that there is. We answer the question of what the point of Napoleon Dynamite really is once and for all. Plus, we talk about how this movie is so accurate for its time down to the technology, the school atmosphere and even Napoleon’s home, except for Kip and Lafawnduh’s online relationship that somehow isn’t a catfish and what exactly is the point of class president elections in school, is it just a pretty title?

Episode 50: Planes, Trains And Automobiles

You can start by wiping that f***ing dumb-ass smile off your rosy f***ing cheeks. Tom DiGianvittorio joins us to celebrate Thanksgiving by watching the movie Planes, Trains And Automobiles and we tell our worst traveling disaster stories that certainly pale in comparison to the number of things that go wrong in this movie. Plus, we compare our own travel experiences to the ones shown in the film and there is a major goof in the Wichita airport scene, see if you can guess what it is.

Episode 48: Airplane!

Have you ever seen a grown man naked? Clyde Harvey from The VOD Squad is here to talk about the movie Airplane! and how this entire movie is an exact parody of the film Zero Hour down to the writers using the exact same script just with a few modifications. With that in mind, is it still necessary now to watch Zero Hour after watching this film? Plus, we go over our favorite jokes and references in this movie and does Microsoft Flight Simulator count as flying experience?

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room.

Plus, find out the movie prop that almost got the movie crew in trouble with the US government and the one real life tragedy that changed a single word in the movie.

Episode 46: Idiocracy

Welcome to Costco. I love you. Regular Game Night contributor Brian Kofford is here to help us celebrate the midterm elections here in the US by talking about the movie Idiocracy and how it serves as a cautionary tale for the state of our country’s current politics but it didn’t use to be that way, how exactly did we get this divisive in the US? Plus, you could technically classify this as a time travel movie and we talk about the things that they might have guessed correctly a little too soon and no disrespect to Maya Rudolph but what is the purpose of Rita being involved in this military hibernation project at all?

Episode 45: The Nightmare Before Christmas

Sally is the only sane person in this insane asylum! This week we are covering the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas with Stephanie Cafferty and Kim aka Wondermom and we discuss how this movie brings back the nostalgia that the Millennials are craving and why it’s fun to relive your old childhood movies and TV shows. Plus, Sally is not the lovable character everyone thinks she is on the surface and while she may be the one who’s captured, we talk about the messed up things she does to her creator. Is she the bad guy? And we ask the most important question about this movie, is Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie?

Episode 44: Hackers

Hack the Planet! We are joined by regular Game Night contributor Jeffrey Sax to discuss the movie Hackers and we get into how Jeff got into technology and how it led to him owning his own network and computer security company. Plus, we speculate whether you can still be arrested by the federal government if you don’t hack across state lines as Phreak kept claiming and did this movie predict ransomware?
