96 Greers

Do you think dreams are dangerous?  Trying to keep your life together with happy pills and butter?  Sounds like you could learn a little something from Visioneers, in which Zach Galifianakis and Judy Greer live in a society.  Barry and Patrick reminisce about Adult Swim, ponder the revolutionary potential of extra-marital affairs, and present the long-anticipated, user-funded Other Segment. 

The Corporate Indie Canon, orson houelle...

Maybe the most celebratory episode yet of Come to My Lindo, and all you Delvotees know why: with his best supporting actor win at the 2026 Academy Awards, Delroy Lindo is officially an EGOT winner!  Barry and Patrick are psyched for this moment of glory, and almost as psyched to talk about A LIFE LESS ORDINARY!  Potentially the most 90s of 90s movies, this romantic crime caper with angels was Danny Boyle and Ewan McGregor's 1997 fo...

Innovation.  Synergy.  Grit.  Can telling your story incentivize changing your major?  Can a movie inspire girls to maximize profits?   Is somebody finally going to make one gosh darn movie about a young person who lives in the Bay Area?  Somebody already did.  And, in the most synergistic innovation imaginable, she cast Judy Greer to play the mom.  It's Everything to Me.  

Get in on the ground floor of next episode's Other Segment...

Where's the beef?  Right here where it always is, on 96 Greers!  Barry and Patrick take on Valley Girl, the 2020 jukebox musical remake of the 1983 purported cult classic of the same name.  What are the reasonable limits on different ways music can function in a movie?  How well does the hardcore punk scene of early 80s LA translate to musical numbers?  Can a social media influencer/endtimes harbinger be a good casting choice?  Pop...

Valentine's Day is coming up, and we are delving into yet another romcom!  Adorn yourself in tulle ("tool?" "tuhl?") and your I <3 Kathryn Heigl ("haygle?" "hi gull?") t-shirt, because we're coming at you with 27 DRESSES!  Do Patrick and Barry critique the wedding industry, struggle for something nice to say about Malin Åkerman's ("...?") performance, and lovingly describe every one of the titular bridesmaid dresses for your lis...

Content note: discussions of transphobia, sexual assault, addiction.

Listen, [comrade]. Real podcasters don't wear capes, and they don't look like Jesus.  They have codependent relationships with their teenage daughters and work at a restaurant where Richard Kind has a Chekhov's gun that nobody bothered to introduce in the first act.  Is it an elaborate metaphor for a high-profile divorce or Oscar bait fueled by a long-standing, ...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind... join Barry and Patrick for an end of 2025 episode and acquaint yourself with Playing for Keeps, a 2012 soccer rom?com?? Gerard Butler vehicle.  And then hope that you never have to bring it to mind again.  Find out how Judy Greer fares in a movie where thirteen (13) producers had 13 (thirteen) different ideas about what the movie they were making was supposed to be abo...

The darkest time of the year is upon us (here in the Northern hemisphere at least) where most of us just want to take a cue from nature and hibernate for a while.  Does 96 Greers have the movie for you!  Gentle music, minimal yelling, and a languid plot that revolves around Hollywood's two sexiest septigenarians (Jane Fonda and Robert Redford) sleeping together.  Literally.  Just falling asleep for the night in the same bed.  Other...

In the winter of our discontent, let necessity be the mother of invention.  As in, we are discontent with America: the Motion Picture and needed to be inventive about recording while Barry was out of town for a week and a half.  Join us in an audio festival of contempt for this animated comedy's poorly-written jokes that rely on the premise "anachronisms = funny" over and over and over.  This podcast would like to humbly submit the...

The stars have finally aligned, two in-theater episodes in a row!  Barry and Patrick headed back to the realm of 8 dollar fountain drinks for Dead of Winter, a sparse backcountry thriller where Emma Thompson and Judy Greer have conflicting goals regarding a teenager who is bound and gagged in a basement.  (I told you, it's sparse!)  Stick around for an Other Segment that keeps Barry unwisely spending $.40/ounce on a beverage that r...

Two momentous episodes in a row!  For the previous episode, we knew the halfway mark was going to come eventually.  But we did not know when we would get to see JG in a movie in theaters that other people would actually go see.  Barry and Patrick recorded this episode two weeks ago and, holy crap, The Long Walk is still in theaters!  Better and more popular film podcasts are talking about it!  But don't listen to them.  Or do.  Bar...

Honored ear-guests: we've half-done it.  With this episode, we reach the halfway mark of the journey to 96 Greers.  We mark this special occasion with a special movie in the Judy Greer filmography:  2004's 13 Going on 30.  That's right, Barry and Patrick have taken this ode to Gen X's childhood and given themselves permission to be even more nostalgic than usual about the late nineties/early oughts.  Pull on your Uggs, update your ...

Before Octavia Butler and Taraji P. Henson were in Hidden Figures, before Ben Schwartz was Sonic the Hedgehog, and before Judy Greer stuck ping pong balls to her body and pretended to mother a baby chimpanzee, they were all in a family dramedy? TV pilot? Lightly fictionalized autobiographical video essay?  They were all in Peep World, a motion picture from the twisted mind that brought you The Key Man.  Come for the criticism, stay...

I love the spell of ape film in the morning.  Smells like a new episode of 96 Greers!  Last summer, Patrick and Barry watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, followed by a whimsical Other Segment-- and a harrowing Judilization.  This year, they're being called back to the combat zone, for one last entry in an iconic, decades-spanning science fiction  franchise:  War for the Planet of the Apes.  Do the philosophical questions asked ...

It's the Summer of Greer REDUX!  We're back in the MCU, grappling with more important-sounding Proper Nouns that are of no consequence to either of us!  Luckily we have Gabe Powers of Genre Grinder to get us caught up on the three years between Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp.  We puzzle over missing character arcs, the fine-line-removing potentials of the quantum realm, and sneak in a sub-atomic review of Guardians of the Galaxy ...

After our road trip episode, we bring you: another road trip episode!  But this time the road trip is in the movie.  Kind of.  For a few scenes.  But it's mostly a gay drama about a South Carolina family in the early 70s.  Think Tennessee Williams on quaaludes.  Written and directed by HBO showrunner extraordinaire, Alan "Tennessee Williams on Quaaludes" Ball, Uncle Frank inspires Patrick and Barry to consider queer representation ...

Finally, someone made content for children about first responders and the cast isn't a bunch of CGI dogs (and oesn't-day eature-fay the ops-cay ;)).  But the cast does include the comedy talents of Judy Greer, Keegan-Michael Key, John Leguizamo, and everybody's favorite pro wrestler-turned-actor!  No, not Dave Bautista.  The other-- no, not Dwayne Johnson.  All right, it's your third favorite-- what?  You think Hulk Hogan's cameo i...

Content note: folks with misophonia may want to skip the Other Segment (01:08:00-01:37:00)

Who can say no to an indie film with regionally-specific jokes and a protagonist whose attitude and hairstyle could both be described as "Devil-may-care"?  Certainly not us, because Judy Greer is in the cast of 2019's Buffaloed, a scrappy comedy that asks: what if The Wolf of Wall Street was about America's debt crisis? and instead of being w...
