Is It for Reel
Three friends dive into the movies of their youth and try to see if they still make us laugh, cry, sing, or cringe. We discuss and decide if it holds to the test of time to be called FOR REEL!
It's that time of year again for you to watch a movie right along with your fav podders. We watched Hot Frosty and now we want to watch it with you!! So get your cousin who works for geek squad and get ready for a buffet for the eyes and ears!! Let's all yell at the screen together, MST3K style. Remember, don't start the movie till we say so, or you might melt into a romantic puddle. Enjoy you hot frosties, you!!!
For Thanksgiving, our podders dipped their faces in the pumpkin pie and all became Mrs. Doubtfire. Hello!!!!!! So get ready for some quick changes, just a few rapid fire voices, and of course face melting like it just came out of a John Carpenter film. Let's get ready for some divorce court hijinks. As Thomas Jane always says "I just want my kids back!"
Our Podders reached back to 1995 and watched Clueless to truly see if the world is a flat circle. And yup, nothing changes, even Paul Rudd's face. So get ready for some makeovers, never ever get on the freeway, and do whatever you want with your butts! As if!!!!!
It's spooky season y'all. No not election season, ya big Sillies. I'm talking about Halloween. Our podders watched Tremors and instantly started shaking in their (cowboy) boots. So put on your best Trash Cowboy attire, get to the nearest drybar for a bacon blowout, and whatever you do no more friggin pogoing!!!!! And remember, always chose the elephant gun. More stopping power, duh!!!
Sequels are a time honored tradition. Empire strikes back, The Godfather Part 2, Grease 2....(record scratch). I guess our podders play by their own rules!!!! So get greasier with all your favorites from the original. Like Frenchy, those teachers, and that one bad guy. So get your bowling shoes ready, work on identifying people even when they are wearing goggles, and trade in your muscle car for a motorcycle because the environment/gas prices? With elections coming up, don't forget to Do It for Your Country!!!!
Grab all the city mice and country mice you can hold. That's right our podders threw down their quilting and watched Big Business. Practice your milking yodeling combo skills, brush up on your professional putt putt lingo, and of course study the ins and outs of big business! You know share holder meetings and business papers and power blouses. And remember if you're going into the office, don't dress like a blood clot!
For all you cat jugglers and milk faces out there, get ready to be somebody. That's right we watched The Jerk. So gather all your disco dancer friends in your own disco room, grab your glasses by the optigrab, and feel free to disregard the carnival personnel signs. YOLO!!!!! Remember it's not the money that's important, it's all the stuff! Especially the paddle game and the chair.
It's summer time so we're talking boys, cars, and consequences. Yea!!! That's right we're Riding in Cars with Boys. Get ready for more Barrymore as we time jump more than Marty McFly, fly through an episode of MTV's Teen Moms, and check to see if Ms. Barrymore's accent coach was worth the money. My daughter's a Tramp!!!!!!
Wedding Bells are in the air and so is some crazy 80's hair. That's right our Podders watched the Wedding Singer and one of our podders even decided to take the wedding bit one step further. Listen to find out how!!!!! Also find out what not to do as a Bar Mitzvah DJ, is Christina Pickles a real person, and the pros and cons of DeLorean ownership. Let's all join Spandau Ballet and sing: I know this much is true!!!!!!!
As Winston Churchill said, "We will fight on the beaches, we will fight on the rocky slopes of Klendathu, we will fight in space. Hey watch out for those bug booty bombs." That's right we watched Starship Troopers. So be sure to practice your jumpball moves, keep that chin strap on tight, oh and double check you're not a cog in a fascist regime. And watch out; the bugs are mean, the the showers are coed, and did we mention that you might be rooting for the baddies. Want to know more!!!
And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIiiIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiIIiiiiiiiiiIIIIIII...... Just a simple one letter word sung to perfection and you know exactly what we're talking about. That's right we watched The Bodygaurd. Come for the romance but stay to see Kevin Costner chest kick a Day Clown. We'll see if we can discover do samurai swords make for good foreplay, is Kevin Costner the best or worst actor, and was Whitney Houston the best singer or the greatest singer? ........IIIIiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiIII will always love You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What makes a man? Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? We needed to find out so we watched The Big Lebowski. So join us as our podders discover the irresistible sex appeal of a man in a bathrobe, delve into whether the rug or the money is the true macguffin, and finally try to figure out why every guy we know has this movie memorized. Maybe the talking tumbleweed knows. I am the walrus!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Mother's Day y'all!!! We of course watched the most Mother's Day movie of all time: Congo! So grab your comms-link death ray, take a closer look at those gorilla grant applications, and grab all your bright red camo jungle gear. Come on, shake your body, baby, do the Congo. I know you can't control yourself any long-o!!?!
So our podders were on Holiday reading a Vogue article about the Material Girl. Keep It Together, y'all, it's only Human Nature they watched Who's That Girl. So get ready for a Bedtime Story about Erotica, a Bad Girl, and some Hanky Panky! Like a Prayer we learned in church we said Oh Father, Justify My Love for this movie even though it's Borderline a Fever dream. So whether you Cherish this True Blue classic or if you're Like a Virgin and you've never seen it, Express Yourself! Also, Papa Don't Preach about pronunciation (You'll See once you finish the pod). And remember Don't Cry for Me Argentina, , Bitch I'm Madonna, La Isla Bonita!!!!!!
Our podders are dreaming of the suburbs... white picket fences, BBQ's with the neighbors, and murder. That's right we watched The Burbs. So stifle your rage at your neighbors lawn, get a hobby other than peeping, and remember hell is other people whether it's murderous psychos or just Steve who always leaves his trash cans in front of your driveway! Freakin Steve!!!!! About a nine on the tension scale, Rube!!!!
Spring is the time of rebirth, frenemieship, and Camp with a capital 'C'. Thusly, our podders put on their fanciest lounge leotards and watched Death Becomes Her. So go get a spray (paint) tan, strengthen up your neck, and read the fine print before you go drinking anything at Isabella Rosellini's pool parties! Bottom's up!!!!!!
Our podders spent all winter strengthening their delts for boombox season and you know the whole time they watched Say Anything. So bust out your trench coat (it works for every social occasion), practice your graduation a cappella song, and say it with me 'mixtapes always make more romantic gifts then pens'! And don't you go being fooled by those puppy dog eyes. Joe lies when he cries!!!
Our podders have never been afraid of Big Corporate Weather, so they bravely watched Twister! Grab all your famous character actor interns (like all of them), bring a duffle bag of white tank tops, We're gonna discover a little bit about love, the probability of 5 twisters coming at ya at once, and how this was a lesbian movie all along. So shout out your favorite tornado lingo, you know it by heart! "It’s a sidewinder; We got sisters; They’re in the bear cage; The cone of silence; They're gonna punch the core"
We're here to talk about the tune that has been in your brain since the day you were born. That's right we watched Fame and we want to live forever! So let's travel back to 1980 New York City, where the streets was gritty, the band geeks, chorus nerds, and dance freaks were battling it out to see who could rule the art WORLD, and of course everyone's dreams come true. (checking my notes and that should read broken dreams). Watch out, monologues coming!!!!
With the new musical Mean Girls coming out our podders decided to make fetch a thing. Well maybe not but they watched the original Mean Girls so close enough. Grab your mathaletes jacket (yo, they went for the leather!), adorn your spine halo with flowers, and be sure to do a mic drop before your trust fall (Janis Rules!!!!!). So hurry up and listen to the pod, Damien cannot stop this car. He has a curfew and he wants his pink shirt back!!!!!
