Get your shine box!

Get your shine box!

Two brothers explore the movies that influenced them as kids and, now that they’re dads, how these films guide them in parenting. This is not an advice show nor a movie review show but introspective look at parenting, pop culture and talking smack. We’ve come to the conclusion that nobody really knows what they’re doing!

This is a favorite of ours! Chris was able to find some really interesting nuance of Hi's relationship to Smalls and I enjoyed Nic Cage making funny faces!! For real, this movie is fast paced, hilarious and stands the test of time!

Oh man! We're big fans of soundtracks and this one is the tops!! Is there anything funnier than Tim Robbins spitting out a mouth full of teeth after getting cold cocked with a phone? No sir, there is not!! This ends our month (3 months?) of Cusack!

Ah the 80's! Where dark topics were hilarious! We have a lot of love for this film, one of the first introductions to one of the coolest actors we know: Mr. Demian Slade or Johnny "Two Dollars" as we've known to call him! Remember when movies had inexplicable music numbers in them? Miss that? Well this film delivers! This film holds up in ways that truly surprised us!

Once in a lifetime, a movie comes along that perfectly parodies a genre! Then this was made. This was a classic for us growing up and it's got some truly great moments in it. And some not so great.

Kay, watch Ian Holm in this movie. I sure he's sparked a whole sub genre kink about getting choked out with a sticky porno mag. Anyone? Just me......? What a kick ass film this is! The only thing that takes away from it is knowing that the jerk director of Blade Runner stole every aspect of world building from this director! If I was Ridley Scott, I'd think about suing!!

They say consistency is the key to a good podcast! Well we say sporadic episodes are the key! Take that logic! 

We took some cues from one of our favorite tough guys: Ernest Borgnine! Tune in to this tale of one man's struggle to run a cab service on a prison Island with surprisingly good theatre shows! Strap a couple of chandeliers to your Caddie and dodge some landmines in this blast of a film!

We've sorted out our audio problems and have launched into this beast of a film! Holy crap this film! In our minds it holds up and has a powerhouse cast! On the other hand, it's frickin hilarious! To be a stunt man on this film probably ended your career! This is a stable sword and sandal film in our home!

As an experiment, we're gonna start throwing in some shorter episodes about films we love minus the synapsis and get right to the meat of it! We talk about where we were when we saw it and our state of mind at the time. Sometimes you just gotta geek out about these films!

This movie is the complete Arnie package: Infinitely quotable, brilliant action, a villain you hate and a love interest with zero chemistry! This is the movie where we learned that if you had your balls cut in half, you would begin to sing in a beautiful falsetto! This movie skyrocketed the acting careers of musicians and made Dweezil Zappa a household name!

The precious Guzzoline! This film is all about family at it's heart. Lord Humungus was just looking out for his adopted family as he worked the shit out of that mic! He would grief when they were killed and put them in a time out choke hold when they were in a blood frenzy. He lived live a quarter kilometer at a time!

Is Craig T. Nelson the Buster Keaton on this film? Find those God Damn Keys already!!! Sorry, sorry. We try to find out where Robbie is today and the amount of therapy he has needed. This film we a hoot and is the root cause of why Tristan struggles with Jello emotionally.

Is Tron the spiritual brother of Flash Gordon? Are there parallels to Spartacus layered within it's code? No. Not at all. But who cares!! This movie was amazing and if I still had the mini discs that came with the cereal boxes, you'd be gettin one right in the brain box just like Sark! Loved this film!!

Okay...Okay. This film is so good for so many reasons!! Sure it's got a couple of flaws like cultural appropriation and the French but generally it's amazing! The iconic Silhouette,  the hat, the whip and all that God stuff! Just awesome!! We can't say enough about it so 'nuff said!

Welcome to montage the movie! This movie is so efficient you could do it in 10 minutes (although we take about an hour and twenty to talk about it)! The first introduction of Mr. T who is frickin awesome in this!! A film that laughs in the face of blocking punches with anything but your head! Brain damage? That didn't exist in Regan's America!! Ding ding!

Yes! Let me end the debate right here and now! This. Is. Alan Rickman's first American action movie! There! Let's put that to bed finally! We talk the crap out of this movie with our brother from a mother that was not our mother: Chad Fletcher!! Always a blast to have this guy on!
