No. 513 | “Hi, Barbie!”

We went and saw Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One and then ran to the mics to discuss. Is it just us, or is the dynamic between Ethan Hunt, Ilsa Faust, and newcomer Grace (Hayley Atwell) just so, so weird? SPOILERS ABOUND YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

No. 512 | “A mind-reading, shape-shifting agent of chaos.”

Happy Fourth, listeners. We dragged ourselves to the mics to discuss Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (12:46). It was… fine. Also discussed: our plans for Cruel Summer season 2. *whip-crack noise!*

No. 511 | “I miss the desert. I miss the sea.”

The guys return with a very timely episode on the 1988 fantasy film Willow, and they’re joined by special guest Kayla. JT had never seen this movie, but it’s close to Kayla’s heart. This one goes off the rails in a hurry.

No. 510 | “Burglekutt, you’re troll dung!”

It’s a Bros Watch PLL Too crossover episode, the Bros are joined by Kate to talk about the grandmother of all modern teen movies: Amy Heckerling’s Clueless. The Girl from the Aerosmith video shows limitless charm as Cher, the ditzy queen of Bronson Alcott High, and the stellar supporting cast of future stars makes this teen retelling of “Emma” a classic.

No. 509 | “As if!”

We’re back! The guys surface to talk multiverses madness in Everything Everywhere All at Once with friend of the pod Ally, and discuss our new book Trouble Takes a Holiday at the end. (Spoilers beware!)

No. 508 | “You have broken my heart yet again”

The guys are back to talk about some recent films and their general disaffected ennui with the state of TV and the Cinema (4:40). Then they travel back to a simpler time of F-14 Tomcats, bomber jackets, and baby oil, to discuss Top Gun (12:24). Plus, a short Trouble update at the end (1:45:49).

No. 507 | “You can be my wingman anytime”

The bros return to talk about The Batman and the new season of Star Trek: Picard (2:53), before diving deep into the murky, sloppy depths of Deep Water, the Ben Affleck, Ana de Armas erotic thriller from Adrian Lyne (37:06). Dang, it’s real bad.

We’re back! Happy New Year, everyone! We stumbled and crawled and pulled our aging corpses back to the mics to pinch off 2021 with a long overdue look at one of our favorite movies of all time: Boogie Nights (52:05). Also, we briefly touch on all the stuff that’s come out in the past few months. Watch for Spider-Man and Hawkeye spoilerz.

No. 505 | “It’s not sexy like it should be, Jack”

Flashback to 1996 for a charming little moving about witches and unpronounceable spirits. It’s The Craft! (15:56) A more innocent time when pleather meant you were dangerous, and $175 grand was a lot of money. We’re joined by special guest Demi to re-examine an old cult favorite that defined witches for a generation.

No. 504 | “We are the weirdos, mister”

A podcast discussing narratives and the creative process in film, tv, books and video games.

Thank you for the L O S T deep dive that we didn’t know we needed. These two have guided me through my recent quarantine film festival of scream 2, last of the Mohicans, and now my first favorite show. There’s something to comforting about the insanely detailed analyses they provide, and I hope they never stop. We need you now more than ever! Not penny’s boat!

We have to go back

I absolutely love headcannon and bros watch pll too. Now please do the prestige!

Please do the prestige!!!

Headcanon

This is an old school, all-Star Wars episode of Headcanon, as Marco and Benji go deep deep deep into SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Turn back now if you haven’t watched the movie. If you have seen it, join us as we discuss our top moments, our nitpicks, Reylo, #HandStuff, Luke Skywalker’s legacy, Canto Bight, slicers, porgs, Amilyn Holdo, Bendus, Snoke theories, and much more. And at the end, our character and movie power rankings. We really like Star Wars, guys.

No. 010 | “Darkness rises, and Light to meet it”

This week on Headcanon we’re talking about the first half of Mockingjay, a polarizing book and an odd movie that downshifts the story of Katniss into PTSD, depression, and despair. “I wish she was dead. I wish they were all dead and we were too.” Welcome to Mockingjay! Yikes. Discussion ranges from: Why didn’t they make Katniss a general in their army? Why are Cressida’s camera guys getting in each other’s shots? And, what is going on with creepy CGI-tiny-body Peeta? Thanks for listening!

No. 11 | Mockingjay: Part 1

It’s time to close out the Hunger Games series with Part 2 of Mockingjay. Benji and Marco journeyed to the theater to get their hot takes on the big Katniss finale. Thoughts on President Coin’s shoes, Johanna Mason’s future, poor Boggs, and the YA Dystopian genre in general. We both def liked this better than Part 1, at least.

No. 12 | Mockingjay: Part 2

This week on the pod, another 1999 classic: Cruel Intentions. Marco and James reminisce about that halcyon era when Joshua Jackson kept showing up in supporting roles with bleached hair, and Sarah Michelle Gellar shocked us all with a decidedly un-Buffy villainous turn in the adaptation of Les Liaisons dangereuses. Also, Ryan Phillippe is here, stealing Hayden Christensen’s lunch money. Plus, some spoilery talk at the end about 2019’s Serenity.

No. 045 | “You can put it anywhere”

It’s finally here! Marco and Benji have a great time nerding out about all things Star Wars: The Force Awakens. After seeing the movie multiple times, they offer their thoughts on Finn, Rey, “Mary Sue” labels, the adorableness of BB-8, if Kylo Ren sleeps in his helmet, and what we’re looking for in Episode VIII.

No. 16 | The Force Awakens

At long last, Headcanon has gotten to Twilight, that milestone of modern franchise entertainment that will shape so much of the next decade of blockbuster film. This movie it terrible, yo! And Benji LOVES IT. Marco, perhaps less so. Embrace the pain, Marco! This is high school romance at its absolute worst and most awkward and problematic and it is gloriously dumb. The guys discuss how great Anna Kendrick is, how awful Mike the random jock friend is, and get into a spirited debate over whether or not James the evil Axl Rose vampire’s hair is blonde or red. Please vote in the comments: red or blonde. This is like really important.

No. 28 | Twilight

At long last, finally (finally?) the bros are talking about the MCU. Specifically, Marvel’s The Avengers (16:57). But before we get there, we have some thoughts on Troian &amp; Mr. Troian’s short film We Are Here (05:23). It’s very evocative, you should watch it. Then, it’s all the Cap vs. Iron Man, Widow vs. Hulk, and who cares about Hawkeye conversation you could want.

No. 023 | “Stank Tower”

This week on the pod, the bros cover a variety of topics, from Lost in Space (3:47), the Jessica Jones orgy scene (8:16), to Lucy Hale vehicles Truth or Dare (10:07) and Dude (11:44). All that, before getting to Avengers: Age of Ultron (23:20). Bonus discussion at the end on the Riverdale (2:31:37) musical episode and The Perfectionists (2:33:55).

No. 024 | “You know I support your Avenging…”

This week on the pod, an absolute classic: Clue! (18:32) This is a movie James and Marco unapologetically love, so prepare yourself for a lot of gushing and quotes. JT also talks about his new video game Spider-Man (4:53), and the guys discuss what they’re watching, listening to and reading (8:56). At the end of the pod, we do some fantasy casting for a Clue reboot (1:25:10), which we both agree probably shouldn’t happen.

Zoey Deutch

This week on the pod: the 2016 film by Richard Linklater, Everybody Wants Some!! (09:08) Marco and Benji go deep on the mustaches, the music, and the McReynolds. This is a fun one.

No. 030 | “Secret Weapon Zoey Deutch”

We started this podcast off with eight straight Harry Potter movies, so I guess we have to do Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald too. Ehh. What a mess. Please join Marco and JT as they rant about all the incredibly dumb things in this movie — and especially Credence, who sucks. JK Rowling: we know you can do better. David Yates: we know you can’t, get lost.

This week on the podcast, Marco and Benji are joined by Morgan Glennon who writes for buddytv.com and co-hosts the Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl Radio podcasts. Morgan has been gracious enough to suffer through New Moon with us, and crushes us with the news that this might not even be the worst Twilight movie. Join us as we lament the bad acting, demand more Anna Kendrick, and worry about all the steroids poor Jacob must be on. Also, FacePunch!! P.S. this movie is so bad that Alice foresaw it and left during all the dumb werewolf stuff.

No. 29 | The Twilight Saga: New Moon

This week on the pod: Avengers: Infinity War (6:51). We will be discussing everything in the movie, so massive SPOILER WARNING right up front. Don’t listen if you don’t want to know what happens in the movie. In short: we liked it.

No. 025 | “I hope they remember you”

Pour yourselves a tall glass of haterade, because Marco and Benji are hear to eviscerate the failed franchise attempt that is Batman v Superman: Yawn of Justice. We talk about the pretentious, overblown dialog, how Superman only smiles when murdering someone, and how inessential most of the storylines in the movie are. Also, lots of Batman voice. MARTHA! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!?!?! The franchise is dead. Bury it. Consider this mercy.

No. 21 | Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Headcanon is back to continue the Twilight Saga with Eclipse, a movie that features no Eclipses, metaphorical or otherwise. Morgan Glennon of buddytv.com and the Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl Radio podcasts has been gracious enough to join us again as we pick apart this latest nonsense. Like: why was Victoria’s plan to kill Bella so convoluted? Why doesn’t Bella ride Jacob when he’s in wolf-form? Why is Jasper getting all this dialog and screen-time? Why does a movie this bad have a soundtrack this good? And on and on. The only thing we know for sure is that Bella, Edward and Jacob are all the worst.

Marco and Benji have returned to Headcanon to talk about freakin’ Fifty Shades of Grey, of all movies. Explore the super lame world of kinda BDSM sex, as two boring C-listers argue for 126 minutes (!) about a stupid sex contract. All Anastasia Steele wants is a normal super rich boyfriend with no personality. All Christian Grey wants is a fresh victim to re-enact his own childhood abuse on. Will these two crazy kids ever work things out??

No. 38 | Fifty Shades of Grey

Well, you voted for it, listeners. Here’s Love Actually, a movie which is probably a lot worse than you remember. Christmas is all around us, and Marco and Benji are talking about that whole Andrew Lincoln/Kiera Knightly plot line, the general awfulness of the Colin goes to America plot line, Liam Neeson as Dirk Diggler, why Colin Firth would try to write a novel on stacks of paper outdoors in the wind next to a lake, and much more. Happy Christmas!

Marco and Benji check in with their thoughts on Beauty and the Beast. They both really enjoyed it. We talk about the McGregor-sance, McGregor sauce, Emma Watson as Belle, Disney Musicals, Fantastic Beasts, and much more. Be our guest to this podcast.

No. 40 | Beauty and the Beast

The guys just went to see Mission: Impossible - Fallout in the theater and we are hype. After a brief discussion of our media diet (02:39), the guys dive in to the latest installment in the M:I franchise (11:18), which just might be the best. We talk the incredible stunts, the insane set pieces, the surprising drama, and the weird quiet morality at the heart of this film. If you like action/spy movies: go see this.
