Film or Movie

The boys get heavy with Amazon's SOUND OF METAL, then- mostly because it sounded funny- they check out the 1981 animated boob montage known as HEAVY METAL. Coming at you like a scantily-clad woman riding a featherless turkey, it's FILM OR MOVIE!

It's a (much deserved) Gary Oldman love fest as the guys check out David Fincher's MANK, followed by a dip back to BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA to see if their junior high selves were right all along. Even Keanu's accent can't derail the hot cinema talk that goes down in this episode.

It's a Spike Lee Joint today on FOM as the guys check out the director's breakout DO THE RIGHT THING, followed by his newest, DA 5 BLOODS. More importantly, we somehow found a way to include Tony's 15 year old voiceover demo reel. It's one heck of an episode. And that's the truth, Ruth.  

The FoM Team spits out some verse by checking out Netflix's THE FORTY YEAR OLD VERSION, then pairing it with 1998's SLAM for Does It Hold Up. A hip-hop related Speed Round is then accompanied by a Cure for Covid that's full of heavily outdated MANDALORIAN chatter. Believe when we say FoM's no better than you/ Except when we rap so we guess it ain't true. 

It's a special, over-stuffed "Versus" episode as the boys pit two action icons against one another: Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme. We examine HARD TO KILL and KICKBOXER, determining if either one holds up, then throw in a Who Wore It Better and an Artist's Loft segment before ultimately deciding our favorite actor-who-would-occasionally-injure-a-stuntperson. Heads up: there are some intermittent tech issues since the discussion was so action-packed that Tony's mic shit itself.

Since recording this episode, there have been hurricanes, elections, and hurricane-elections. But we're finally picking up the pieces over here at FoM Studios. This week we go full sci-fi comedy with BILL AND TED FACE THE MUSIC, followed by 1999's GALAXY QUEST. Rob also interviews GALAXY QUEST'S Daryl "Chill" Mitchell for a minute and a half because he was too self-conscious to ask more than one question. Never give up, never surrender!  

After taking some extra time to deal with several existential dilemmas in their real lives, the boys finally jump into some existential motion pictures instead. They check out Charlie Kaufman's newest, I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS, then look back to ADAPTATION to see if it holds up. Also, keep an eye out for FoM's currently in-production spinoff off podcast: "Nicolas Cage's Hair in Adaptation". Coming soon!  

The boys check out Kelly Reichardt's FIRST COW, then put on their berets and sad 1960's French faces for AU HASARD BALTHAZAR for Does It Hold Up. All that, plus an all-animal Speed Round and a hastily thought out Cure For COVID. We gettin' sophisticated in this piece!

Between pickles and weed, it's a very green episode this week as the guys check out AN AMERICAN PICKLE and PINEAPPLE EXPRESS. There's ice cream talk, a speed round, and- this can't be right- even a mention of sports?! All that, plus Rob apparently can't tell the difference between Andrew Garfield and the dude who created Magic the Gathering.
