Give us money and then we can do this full time. Until then? Shut up and listen.Oh yeah anyway this episode is the next in our ongoing series on faith-based films, both good and bad. I Still Believe, based on the true story, is about the Christian singer and song-writer Jeremy Camp as he deals with great tragedy and how it intertwines with his faith and career. Also KJ Apa plays Jeremy Camp for some reason. I'd have liked it if he played Jeremy Camp as Archie from Riverdale. That would've made it so much better.

S1 Ep 113Prisoners (2013)

E

WARNING: the movie Prisoners deals with issues of child abduction, abuse, and other dark and upsetting topics. This episode does not include any graphic descriptions of these things but tread carefully because important plot points revolve around these themes.Aren’t we ALL prisoners in our own way?????The fun times you had with us on The Sandlot, Hot Rod and Barbie is OVER: time to get super serious with Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners. This 2013 film stars Hugh Jackman as a father in search of his abducted daughter and Jake Gyllenhaal as the detective assigned to the case. Olivia dissects the various characters’ prisons using her therapist superpowers and Isaac nerds out about the intricacies of the layered plot. Sleepovers? Bad. Terrence Howard? Really good. Viola Davis? Even better. Paul Dano? The performance that got him the part of the Riddler (probably). Although this is a very very intense film, we highly recommend it. Tune in to hear more!Warning: Isaac and Olivia express their excitement for the upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the Bikeriders, Killers of the Flower Moon, and share their enthusiasm for the raunchy teen comedy Bottoms before diving into Prisoners.

"I want to put some distance between us and the SCENE OF OUR LAST GODDAMNED CRIME!"Did you know that Ridley Scott's best film was made in 1991 and won best screenplay at the 1992 Academy Awards?

S1 Ep 83Facing the Giants (2006)

listen we recorded this really late at night a few hours before this episode went live. do you really think i'm going to spend any time at all writing a clever and quirky description for this episode AFTER i edited it? no. instead i used chat gpt to write the description this time. i won't edit it a single bit. let's see how it does:Welcome back to another episode of "Isaac, Olivia, and Walter walk into a podcast studio". Today, the trio is discussing the cinematic masterpiece that is "Facing the Giants" - a movie that makes you want to cry, laugh, and hug your nearest football coach.Isaac starts the discussion by gushing about the movie's gripping storyline and inspirational message. Olivia jumps in to agree but can't help but point out the awkward dance scene that had her cringing in her seat. Walter then chimes in with his own observation - "Why does every character in this movie talk like they're auditioning for a Southern Baptist church choir?"As they delve deeper into the movie's plot, they can't help but wonder if the director's intention was to make a sports movie or a religious propaganda piece. Olivia suggests that the main character's miraculous success on the field might have more to do with divine intervention than actual athletic skill.Isaac then reveals that he tried implementing the movie's famous "death crawl" exercise with his own football team, only to realize that it was a terrible idea and ended up with a bunch of teenagers crawling across the field while yelling "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."The conversation gets more and more absurd as they discuss their favorite quotes from the movie, with Walter admitting that he still yells "You gotta give 100%, and don't you quit!" every time he hits the gym.In the end, the three hosts can't help but love this cheesy yet heartwarming movie, even if they can't decide whether it's a sports movie, a religious movie, or just a really long ad for football equipment. Tune in next week for more nonsensical discussions and questionable life advice.

S1 Ep 82My Cousin Vinny

When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the '60s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

S1 Ep 812023 Academy Awards

"You do not START without me -- I am the CLOCK!" - Lydia TarThe 95th Academy Awards was also the longest in quite a while, much like this podcast episode! Olivia and Isaac are joined again by Colin and Shelby Lingo to discuss the high highs, funny moments and snubs of the 2023 Oscars. Did Austin Butler really talk like Elvis on the set of Dune: Part 2? Dave Bautista says no, but there's really no way to tell. Colin and Shelby also did way better than us at watching the nominated shorts. They're the real pros on this episode.

Y'all let us know on Instagram or Twitter. Anyway, is Ryan Reynolds the anti-Christ of modern film? I won't explain any further. You have to listen to this episode for more information on that topic. Oh, and happy Valentine's Day, I guess!
