  • The Natural/3 Days of the Condor
    Apr 21 2026

    Join Joel and Bethany for our very own Redford Files, as we discuss Robert Redford, Robert Duvall, baseball, politics, and what the most frustrating kind of movie is. Sometimes unexpected movies lead to unexpectedly long conversations, this one was not planned to be so long!

  • Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game/Tommy: The Movie
    Apr 7 2026

    It's time for some pinball! Listen to us discuss two very different movies whose only connection is a love of the game of pinball (we think?), a colon in the title, and some very different takes on what it looks like to come into a kid's life as a stepfather.

  • Fargo/Columbus
    Mar 24 2026

    Welcome to maybe our most distantly connected episode yet - two movies that are named after midwestern towns. At least we think so? Our West Coast origin is really clear here. Regardless, two really beautiful and heartfelt movies in two completely different ways.
