Well, after 83 episodes it finally happened...we finally found a movie that Dan has seen.  And that movie, darlings, is David Fincher's 1999 film Fight Club!

Based on the book by Chuck Palahniuk, Edward Norton plays a middle class guy who's just a cog in a corporate machine.  When he returns from a business trip and finds his apartment has been blown up, he reaches out to Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), the cool, quirky soap-maker that he met on the plane.  Tyler shows him a side of himself that he never knew existed before when they start a secret underground club for men to get out their frustration by brutally beating each other up.  But when the strange and intoxicating Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter) starts sleeping with Tyler, things start to spiral in manic and unexpected directions.  

Neither of your hosts have seen this since they were in their teens/early 20s...will they still think this movie is a beautiful and unique snowflake?  Join us and find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

All aboard for action, adventure and, of course, TIME TRAVEL!  Everyone's favorite odd couple (no, not us, but we're flattered!), Marty McFly and Doc Brown are back for the final installment of the Back to the Future trilogy! 

When we left off, Doc (Christopher Lloyd) had been accidentally zapped to the year 1885 by a bolt of lightning!  Marty (Michael J. Fox) heads back in time to save his friend from getting shot by Mad Dog Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) in a gunfight and bring him Back to the Future!  But when Doc falls hard for a brainy and beautiful teacher (Mary Steenburgen), he must decide whether to follow his heart or the space/time continuum!  Your hosts are particularly excited about this one, so strap in, darlings!  It's gonna be a wild ride!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

Seriously though...why don't we have Hoverboards yet?  Your hosts are back and ready to ponder this question and many others as they go...Back to the Future...Part II

In this second installment of the McFly saga, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and his girlfriend, Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue in this one) are taken far into the future to the year 2015 (!!!) by Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) to help prevent their future son from committing a crime that could destroy their family!  While they're off doing that, McFly family rival, Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) has snuck along for the ride and steals the time machine to give a sports almanac from the future to his younger self!  When young Biff uses the almanac to bet and win on sporting events, making him a millionaire, the time lines are skewed and Doc and Marty have to figure out how to fix it and save the 1985 that they belong in!  

As a youngster, this installment was Chrysten's favorite...will it still be after this viewing?  Join us and find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

Happy 2020, darlings!  This month your hosts are going back in time and watching one of the most popular movies of the 80s...Back to the Future!

High schooler Marty McFly (America's sweetheart, Michael J. Fox) is friends with disgraced scientist, Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) for...reasons unexplained.  Marty helps Doc test his latest experiment: a time machine built from a Delorean!  When Marty accidentally takes the time machine back to the year 1955, he inadvertently prevents his parents from meeting each other, which could set off a series of events that would lead to Marty and his siblings not being born at all!  With the help of 1950s Doc Brown, Marty must set his parents back on their path while also figuring out how to get himself...(wait for it)...Back to the Future

This movie was a massive hit and spawned two sequels (which we will be covering in later episodes!).  But will our hosts love it?  Or will they make like a tree and get outta here?  Join us and find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!
