The War of The Worlds (2005) and Survival (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes)

Tom Cruise is not human

Episode Notes

Now that we have YET ANOTHER Planet of the Apes movie coming out, did we pick one of those 19 movies? Of course not. Dave uses this as an excuse to watch a Spielberg movie that he had trouble with the first time around, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.

He welcomes guest Ben Miller of the Target Audience Podcast and he has...feelings. Listen as we discuss his podcast and his violent lack of caring about Apes.

Then, Dave talks about the psychology of survival in the brain and tries desperately to figure out how Tom Cruise keeps getting so luckily....besides being a really good runner.

Ben returns to talk WAR OF THE WORLDS. He and Dave talk about what works (peanut butter sandwiches, invasion imagery) and what doesn't (Tom Cruise as a longshoreman and that damn annoying son of his).

Take a listen here!

Comedy of the Decade

Episode Notes

First episode, let's go!!!!

We are finally back to you after many, many years away. Is anyone still listening? We're about to find out. We bring in old friend, Jay Ledbetter to kick off the fan.

We talk a lot about Ryan Gosling for the release of THE FALL GUY. To do more of that, we chose to talk about a truly under appreciated comedic gem, THE NICE GUYS.

Jay talk about how he doesn't like Deadpool, but he does love The Gos.

Then, Dave talks about an area in much need of research in psychology in single fatherhood.

And Jay returns to talk the movie. We talk perfect comedies, comfort movies, and Gosling screaming. Good times were had
