Stagione 1

As A Snake Advocate… | Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

It’s the most i-word of all adventure movies, and we are not coping. Raiders relaunched an entire genre, feeding the Lucas/Spielberg legend and inspiring a thousand imitations. Also in this episode: a Chewbacca connection, Karen Allen’s freckles, and a near miss for Tom Selleck. Join us. For more content, check us out on Instagram.

A Karen For Good | Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

The immortal magic of a woman with green eyes. The profound love of a man for his truck. Fresh bao. Big Trouble in Little China is packed to the gills with life’s greatest joys — oh, and floating eyeball monsters, human trafficking, and so many torture chambers. Join us, and our first guest — friend and Jack Burton cosplayer Rachel Vaughn — for this chaotic classic. For more content, check us out on Instagram.

Even Great Heroes Can Be Idiots | Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

A society bride with mad skills, angsty Chow Yun-Fat, the most emotionally mature desert bandit ever, and just Michelle Yeoh generally. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has stunning locations, an incredible cast, and some of the greatest fight choreography on film. But is it an adventure movie? Let’s discuss.

Crumpy Take The Wheel | Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)

Spitting. Throwing rocks. Kicking stuff. All the signs of a bad egg — and a compelling protagonist. Ricky Baker’s rocky time in foster care leads to a found family, arson, poetry, some light kidnapping, and 6 months in the wilderness with Tupac. It’s an adventure like no other! Join us for Hunt for the Wilderpeople.For more content, check us out on Instagram.

Look At Those Snappers! | Romancing The Stone (1984)

A talented waitress one script away from success. An actor-turned-producer fighting for a project he believed in. A Robert Zemeckis redemption arc. So many alligators. Romancing the Stone has it all, and we’re beyond ready to dive back into one of our childhood favorites. Join us! For more content, check us out on Instagram.

The Heavy Duty Woman in Us All | The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

A frenemy road trip in drag. Oscar-winning costumes. The beauty of the Australian outback. ABBA turds. It’s time for the one, the only, the fabulous — The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. For more content, check us out on Instagram.

Little Snack-Sized People | Jurassic Park (1993)

There may not be much more to say about this absolute masterpiece, but that's not going to stop us! It's full of iconic shots, great gags, incredible performances, and amazing legs. In this episode, you'll learn more than you ever expected about how ILM created the dinosaurs and less than you'd imagine about Sam Neill's mysterious accent. Join us!

Equal Opportunity Shower Scenes | Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

Does hot people doing great stunts make up for iffy dialogue and mile-wide plot holes? Sure! (Wait, how good are the stunts?) Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is inconsistent, but it also brought us action-hero Angie for the first time, so we as a society owe it a great deal. Also it has the bungee ballet scene, which buys at least 6 nonsensical lines from poor, miserable Daniel Craig. For more content, check us out on Instagram.

Honey, You’re Wearing A Bathrobe. | Stardust (2007)

Stunning landscapes, a truly moving love confession to a mouse, and Robert DeNiro in a corset. Charlie Cox getting a reverse haircut on a pirate ship in the sky. Stardust sounds insane on paper, but it not only works, it’s forking spectacular. Grab a Babylon Candle and join us for an underappreciated gem! For more content, check us out on Instagram.

I’ve Seen Things I Can’t Unhear | Uncharted (2022)

It's about time we do something recent! Uncharted was made to be a straight-up-the-middle adventure movie, and it does a lot of the things we love: include Tom Holland, feature a badass lady villain, deliver killer stunts, and take us to exotic locations. That said, there are some things that are examples of "not quality" as we so eloquently put it (*cough* Mark Wahlberg *cough*). Overall, we... enjoyed it?
