Interview

That’s what we people of a certain age like to do.Continue reading “Memory”

We also discuss the Cubs, Cinema Therapy, currentContinue reading “Squirrel”

But we do things a little different here. We debate on the plausibility of their relationship,Continue reading “Implausible”

We spoil “Romancing the Stone,” “The Lost City,” and the Marvel Universe movies. Also: shortContinue reading “Romancing Your Writing”
Gremlins
A couple of weeks ago, we talked about the three movies that our part of our Christmas tradition (Love Actually, Die Hard, Christmas Vacation). For Episode 148, we watched three movies that were homages (or parodies) of traditional Christmas movies: Elf, Gremlins, and Scrooged. We talked about what worked and didn’t work, and why theyContinue reading “Gremlins”
