Season 1
A Knight's Tale
The Polarized Kingdom is hosting a couple of very special guests for a discussion of an adaptation of a classic piece of literature, that turns out to be a classic piece of film as well. We hail the genius casting, use of modern sports movie storytelling, and highlight our favorite hats. Audience: 59% Critics: 79%
8 Mile
In a very special episode, the Polarized guys and a returning guest visit the world of underground Detroit rap battles but still have a hard time not talking about how great Michael Shannon is. We question the rhythm of the rhymes, evaluate Eminem as an actor, and have a hard time not thinking of Scary Movie 3. Critics: 75% Audience: 54%
The Double
What happens when two Jesse Eisenbergs are polarized against each other? Have you ever wondered what the hosts' favorite nuts are? How do you manifest a non-charming Wallace Shawn performance? All these questions are discussed, and more, on this week's episode of PolarizedPod! Critics: 83% Audience: 59%
John Tucker Must Die
We are taking a trip back to a high school in 2006 that is populated by 30 year olds who are all obsessed with John Tucker. We discuss whether the movie holds up almost 20 years later, rave about the soundtrack reminiscent of our own high school years, and question why murder was never really an option.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
In this especially special episode, we break down the very concept of movies before sharing our history with rock biopics as well as comedies from this era. After giggling our way through the episode, we end with another game of "What's That Ranking?". THEY PODCAST SO HARD. Critics: 75% Audience: 57%
