EP36: Tortoise Tortoise Luck Dragon Warrior,.. In Any Damn Order

This week's scavenger hunt item linking the movies is the TORTOISE! But there are dragons and warriors and danger in them both. Join us this week as we discuss the NeverEnding Story (1984) and the first Kung Fu Panda (2008)! If you want to skip over all the baseball talk and complaining about the heat, skip about 8 minutes...

EP35: EMF's, S.H.I.T, and HOT DOGS! There Are No Gatekeepers Here

Y'ALL! When you told us to link two movies with hot dogs, did you think we'd ever come up with these two? What a fun adventure this week was - our GenZ host had never seen 1987's Ghostbusters before...probably because our GenX host finds it "meh." Meanwhile, one of the most ridiculous, unrealistic, unserious movies ever receives unanimous top rating...of course it does. It's from 2006. And acceptance is just one click away...

EP34: BOOTY TRAPS! Solar Surfing, Cave Climbing, the Truffle Shuffle, and MORPH!

Pirates is the name of the game and adventure awaits as we travel through two wholesome flicks that dive deep below the surface and uncover themes of abandonment, trauma, childhood bonds, and the essence of humanity. But it's done so well with such fun and excitement! Pull up a snack and join us for one of our favorite nostalgic romps yet, as we discuss 1985's The Goonies and 2002's Treasure Planet! This week's Scavenger Hunt theme was "Pirates" - we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did! Intro and outro music created for MWT by Grim Avenue

EP33: WHERE'S MY SUPER SUIT?! Just Rolling Down the Freeway in a Mobile Tux Van

Did WE have the cocktails? This is the most unhinged, off-topic schtuff we've ever recorded, so don't say we didn't warn you. Between re-recording, reminiscing, complaining, talking about other movies, and just basically forgetting we were even discussing movies, you might not even realize we're covering The Incredibles (2004) and The Hangover (2009)...you'd think we partied with the guys...

EP32: 3 Chicks and a Ton of Heart…Not One Whole Chip, But They’re Perfectly Imperfect

In this episode, we explore the iconic film 'Romy & Michele's High School Reunion,' delving into its satire, character dynamics, and behind-the-scenes insights. Pull up a snack (or few!) and join us for a nostalgic discussion that uncovers the film's lasting appeal and hidden details. Stick around while we also dive into Chicken Little, exploring its themes, characters, and behind-the-scenes facts, while sharing personal insights and ratings! Intro and outro music created for MWT by Grim Avenue!

EP31: DRAGONS! Light the Torch and Pass It On: There's No Fergus Here - Only Gerard!

In the second installment of our Scavenger Hunt Summer series, we discuss DRAGONS! Who would be a better choice than the adorable Toothless in 2010's How to Train Your Dragon, ...or if that isn't your jam, maybe the terrifying fire droolers of the apocalyptic (not era-esque) Reign of Fire (2002.) Two vastly different dragons, two wildly different perspectives, but one wholesome surprise connection. Isn't that how it always goes? Pull up a snack, pop some corn, maybe toast a marshmallow or two, and join our little movie club! Intro and outro music created for MWT by Grim Avenue

EP30: Putt-Putt Wut? Golf Cl!ques, R!ch D!cks, Hockey St!cks, and Breadst!cks!

What happens when we take one of our scavenger hunt requests (putt-putt golf) and each pick our own movie which features it? Two completely different flicks with a surprising connection, of course! We discover how 1987's Overboard didn't age particularly well, and 2025's Happy Gilmore 2 was a delightful surprising sequel to a fam favorite! Pull up a snack and join us in one of our first ACTUAL generational gap episodes! Intro/Outro music created for MWT by Grim Avenue!

EP29: Girls' Girls and Fan Boys: Hiding Cameras, Scaling Walls, and Sharing Clothes

Is it 2006's John Tucker Must Die, or 2022's The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent? Name the movie... Character1: I don't want to kill you Character2: you're the last person I want to kill Character1: I love you Character2: I LOVE YOU! Did you ever think two such different movies would share so many random little details? We discuss our favorite things about both - and our not-so-favorite things, such as stinky feet and the lack of cinnamon rolls. Pull up a snack and join us!

EP28: People Are Scary - Always Choose the Bear...Even If It's Vincent

Chasing flies, escaping hedge trimmers, uploading spyware, and an overall arc of BETRAYAL! In this episode, we discuss Bruce Willis as a slimy corporate CEO (or something?) and a "ring-tailed charlatan," as well as the strong casts surrounding him in both 2007's Perfect Stranger and 2006's Over the Hedge. Pull up a snack and join us - but SPOILER ALERT...watch the movies first! Intro music created for MWT by Grim Avenue

EP27: A Bride, Bubbles, and the Bureau...As You Wish!

Dear Princess Buttercup, It's not you, it's mom. This week we dive a bit deep into our weird little psychologies and discuss why certain movies hit (and miss) us the way they do, and even how they might affect our personalities from childhood! We cover the timeless classic, The Princess Bride (1987,) and suspense thriller Kiss the Girls, which came out a decade later. Both star Carey Elwes, playing two incredibly different characters. Somewhere in the middle, we regale you with our own tales of the emotional roller coaster from our recent trip into Seattle for a Mariners game! Get cozy, pull up a snack, and join us...
