338. The Princess Bride with special guest Melanie Vartabedian (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Have fun stormin' da castle." We watched "The Princess Bride" with our friend Melanie Vartabedian and we're still shouting quotes from this movie at each other from across the room. This movie is an absolute classic but like, it's really deserving of that moniker. This cast is pitch perfect, the script is non-stop quotable gold, and the direction by gone too soon Rob Reiner is top notch. Who would have thought that Borscht-Belt humor would mix so well into a medeival fairy tale? Rob Reiner, tha
337. Little Children with special guest Devin Lotfi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"My professors would kill me for even thinking this, but in her own strange way, Emma Bovary is a feminist." We watched "Little Children" with our friend Dev Lotfi, and we're unsettled but also… intrigued. We've asked this many times on the podcast, but this film really begs the question… are straight people OK? This film is a character study of modern American suburbia, but we would like to study Patrick Wilson's… character. Wilson and Kate Winslet play stay-at-home parents (to different famili
336. Empire Records with special guest Espie Quintero (opens the original)

"Well, "Sinead O'Rebellion." Shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior." We watched "Empire Records" with our dear friend Espie Quintero, and we don't feel that we need to explain our art to you. We know this movie may be polarizing to viewers - it's the kind of film that if you didn't grow up with, you may not hold it as dear as those who did. We're okay with that. Yes, this movie is a series of needle drops and vignettes in which a group of tattooed weirdos lip sync to pop/rock s
335. Jaws: The Revenge with special guest Paul Downey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Bloody Hello! The breath on that thing!" We watched "Jaws: The Revenge" with author Paul Downey and we had a roaring good time. This film is the final entry in the "Jaws" franchise and we honestly had a great time with it. We know, this one has a reputation for going a little off the rails - the main character is Chief Brody's wife Ellen (Lorraine Gary), she has a dubious "psychic" connection to the shark and the shark itself followed her from Martha's Vineyard to the Bahamas. If this all sound
334. Who's That Girl with special guest Robbie Barnett (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"I am Nikki Finn. I will not be denied. I will know vengeance!" We watched "Who's That Girl" with our friend Robbie Barnett, and we still remember the brief period in the '80s when Madonna was Latina. We all know Madonna has had a complicated history in the movie biz. While "Who's That Girl" was not necessarily well received by critics upon its first release, it's gone on to gain a cult following, not just from Madonna super fans. Griffin Dunne is as adorable as always as uptight tax attorney Lo
