Erin and Brennan

209 episodes

5 days ago

This week Erin and Brennan get the worst job that a million girls would DIE for: second assistant to Miranda Priestly. They deal with getting Michelin-quality steak in 15 minutes, eating a cube of cheese when they feel light headed, and generally giving up carbs because they have been fat-shamed by Stanley Tucci. We really agree that ALL of Andy's friends suck except for Doug (JUSTICE FOR CLOSETED-DOUG!!). I mean, Nate moans most of the movie, Lily thinks it's funny to try and get her friend ...

Seven Samurai Part 1: Huh, Jidai Sounds like Jedi!

Welcome to the Sengoku Period in Japan where life is bad and there is violence EVERYWHERE!!! Bandits raid farming villages, samurai wandering without masters, and drunk rascals to push ALL the buttons. We recruit six samurai and one "in between" to defend the village from bandit raids. We have Kanbei the Obi-Wan, Katsushiro the Luke, Gorobei the rotund, Heihachi the joker, Shichiroji the lieutenant, Kyuzo the stone-faced, and Kikuchiyo the rabid dog who follows them around for miles and miles...

Seven Samurai Part 2: Ok, Let's Talk Castles. . . .

Yes, this week is a double hitter and the second episode is all about castles. How they were made, what do they do, and how do they kill you? Why is this important? Because your home is your castle, and you need to defend it against crazy bandits with the Horns of Power (13th Warrior references by request). We have murderous grandmas, sad-dog Kikuchiyo, and Katsushiro making it to home base. (Queue Lonely Island's "I Just Had Sex") But to be honest, we agree that Seven Samurai is one of the g...

Spaceballs: May the Schwartz Be With You!!!

This week we open Brennan's Birthday Month with incessant giggles and George Lucas' blessing. Using combing technology to track our heroes, Col. Sanders clucking orders, and inhaling cans of Perri-Air, we once again delve into the mind of Mel Brooks and have an absolute blast. Erin may be put off (Erin feels much more strongly about this than what Brennan wrote) by Pizza the Hut, but between Mega Maids and stern parking attendants, there's plenty else to get hooked on. Beneath it all, it's ab...

Agatha All Along Part 2: Witches are so Gay (Duh)

We're back for week 2 of Agatha All Along and the first thing we notice is that we divided the episodes wrong. We REALLY should have revealed who Teen is before the break. Oh well, don't be so simple minded. We've got exorcisms, Ouija boards, and the one person who will taunt spirits especially when you tell them not to. But this half has some of the best episodes, emotional roller coasters, and the answers to all the Road's "twists and trials." Erin is just waiting for Rio and Agatha to kiss...

Agatha All Along Part 1: Black Lipstick ON!!

Seekest thou the. . . PODCAST that discusses the Road in our review of Agatha All Along for Spooky Season! We are back in the MCU and get super witchy, gathering our coven, and running away from the Salem Seven and possible Aubrey Plaza, who seems a little too eager to kill everyone. We discuss the BIG questions: why no shoes, who is Teen, and what is the gut secretion of a social insect? This week Erin ponders child sacrifice, Brennan thinks a Sicilian dialect might be Polish (he was VERY wr...

Superman: The Bromance is Real

Metropolis, Delaware! Superman fights against non-Japanese Ultraman and befriends the worst Green Lantern in James Gunn's directorial debut as the new head of the DCU. We start at the Fortress of Solitude which is no longer solitudinal (Super Robots, Super Dog), moving to a bad guy military base on a beach just around the corner from Metropolis where it's always Casual Friday (Hawaiian shirt, anyone?), and the largest Hall of Justice with only the three members of the Justice Gang (terrible n...

Gods of Egypt: LARPing Across Green Screens

Hello, Void! We're back with another peek into the bad movie vault, and this time we've been blinded by Gods of Egypt. This is a movie set in Egypt (Atlantis style?), played by white people (cause it's y2k, wait, wait, wait, it's actually 2016!), and filled to the brim with terrible CGI (no ILM for you!). We discuss how Hollywood needs more one-eyed hot guys, Hathor's VIP star-encrusted rave bracelet, and how much fun Gerard Butler is having. Genuinely, Gerard's portrayal of Set is the only t...

Tangled: The Horse is a K9!

Guten Tag, Void! We enter Germany and the dark twisted forests that they are VERY well known for (see almost all fairytales). We get threated by a chameleon, smashed in the face with a frying pan, and tied up in long long long long long long long long blond hair. Apparently in Germany brunettes aren't magical! With their history, I call problematic. But on our adventure, we go with Flynn Rider, the Adonis of all the women at Disney Animation, Maximus the Javer of horses, while running from Ro...

Rock N' Roll! It's Our 200th Episode!! (We Think)

Turn your amps to 11, Void! We're celebrating our 200th episode (we're pretty sure) with the most hard-rock movie of all time, "This is Spinal Tap!" It's the rockumentary that introduced us to: Big Bottoms, Hell Hole, Sex Farm, Rock N' Roll Creation (with pods), and STONEHENGE!!!!! Without this movie, we would all be wondering who they were, and what they were doing, but their legend lives on in the vinyl grooves of music history. Did you know that Billy Crystal and Dana Carvey worked as mime...

Shakespeare in Love: Where's the DOG?!

Two siblings, both alike in dignity, in this fair chatroom where we lay our scene! Hark, what film from yonder laptop breaks? Is it the sun? No! It's Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter!!! Ok, maybe not. Instead, it's Shakespeare in Love, the historical fiction about the origins of Romeo and Juliet the play. We have an absolutely stacked cast including husband-and-wife duos playing the Nurse, Ben Affleck at his possible best (and most attractive?), and DAME JUDY DENCH!!!! It's got it all: f...

Spiderman: The OG

Welcome, Void! This week we're crawling back like Norman Osborne to pre-MCU MCU, aka, the time before RDJ. We're discussing the original 2002 Spiderman film with Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and Willem Dafoe. We remark on how much of the superhero genre was established by this film but really, we mean that J.K. Simmons is the ONLY J. Jonah Jameson no matter the Spiderverse. But also, this cast: Octavia Spencer, Elizabeth Banks, and Joe Manganiello playing side characters! But let's really ta...

Bottle Shock: Not Bad for Kids from the Sticks

Bienvenue, Void! This week we sit down with a bottle of wine and enjoy watching the French realize they're not perfect. As kids from NorCal we enjoy a little chest thumping and pointing out that every French location in the movie is definitely Calistoga. While this movie fails in many regards, it's saved in key moments like: Alan Rickman trying KFC, Alan Rickman trying guacamole, and Alan Rickman drinking wine. Lowlights include Chris Pine's wig (what IS that THING?!?!?), Mr. President being ...

The Lost World: Thagomizers Galore!!!

Howdy, Void! We've returned to Jurassic Park to prove that people were indeed murdered the first time and will be again. Hammond suddenly becomes Sir David Attenborough after only 4 years and has established a nature preserve! Oh yay. . . he's finally "figured it out" (not). Our team travels to Las Cinco Muertes [Site B (The Five Deaths)]and no matter how many people tell them it's a bad idea, they go 'cause money. We have Eddie (the Hero), Nick (the hippie bad boy), Sarah (the worst big game...

Jaws REDUX- Kill Shark or Get Money?

Happy 4th, Void! Yes, we're still on our break. Erin is in New Orleans training to wrestle alligators this week while Brennan, after almost 10 years in Japan, is finally going to learn how to use a fork. While our hosts are busy doing, whatever they're doing, we bring you our recording of Jaws on this auspicious 50th anniversary! Together, let's look at how a small white island town in New England chooses to face off against a man-eating shark. "A whaaaat?" A shark! SHAAAARRKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Born on the Fourth of July: War is Wack

Happy Fourth of July, Void! It may not be the most fun 4th, but it's still a day! Specifically, it's Ron Kovic's birthday! So, let's talk about disillusioned war vets realizing that patriotism has many forms. We discuss so many things that Brennan refuses to type about in this description. For such a dark movie about wheelchair fights, bonding over dead friends, and yelling inappropriate things just to make mom angry, Erin and Brennan weirdly find things to laugh about. Should we be concerned...

Tropic Thunder: The Dudes are Emerging

Load and lock, Void! This week we dive into the dense jungles of Hollywood while speakers blast Credence Clearwater, Rolling Stones, and Buffalo Springfield. Is this a Vietnam movie? No, it's a movie about people who tried to make a movie about Vietnam! It's TROPIC THUNDER, starring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey, Brandon T. Jackson, and Tom Cruise. We double down on the ridiculous nature of Hollywood; the insincerity of the industry to promote diverse stories...

Andor Season 2 Part 2: We Have Friends Everywhere

It's here, Void! We're wrapping up the second half of Andor Season 2 and screaming our praises for all the galaxy to hear. Just like Rogue One, this show uses every available moment to tell the best story we've seen in Star Wars, probably since the originals. Syril faces his choices, the birth of K2, Mon Mothma leading the resistance, and Andor getting in trouble for saving people. We are held at finger point to witness the massacres, the growing pains, and the betrayals that give us the Empi...

Andor Season 2 Part 1: Spiders and Mommy Issues

Happy May the 4th, Void! This week we're discussing part one of Andor Season 2 (episodes 1-6), while we will review part two next week (episodes 7-12). Today we're focused on the textile planet of Ghorman and the not-French-yet-very-French-French-Resistance. We enjoy the fabulous disguises of Cassian, the wedding "festivities" of Chandrila, and the toxic relationship of Dedra and Syril (we don't actually want to know what happened in the dark. . . . mother). Ultimately, who can one trust when...

Andor Season 1 Part 2: Shadow Daddy for the Ages!

Welcome back, Void! You get a monologue, and you get a monologue, AND YOU GET A MONOLOGUE!! Monologues for the ages! We're seriously awe-struck at the quality of the speeches in this half of the season. Andy Serkis leading the prison break, Stellan Skarsgård digging deep into sacrifice, and Fiona Shaw being the first stone thrown (literally). Following the first strike against the Empire at Aldhani, the sparks of rebellion are kindled across the galaxy. For each hero rising up, there is an eq...
