The second movie in our Christmas 2020 lineup isn’t traditionally considered a Christmas movie but once you hear our arguments for why it most certainly is, we think you’ll agree. Join us for the podcast to hear our thoughts on the creation of modern buddy cop tropes, the bizarre music choices, (can a saxophone ever be used non-sexually) and party nog at your daughter’s funeral.
Mando is still on the hunt for Baby Yoda this week, with several friends and former foes in tow to help him out. We discuss all the Star Wars action, as well as the ways things get messy when your religious Mandalorian rules clash with real life.
Season five is just a few days away, so A.Ron and I are back to cover what we know about the new season, where we left the story last season, and all the news about the show that we missed during the hiatus. If you want to hear more about the shape our coverage will take this season, this is the episode for you. Join us for the run-up to season five of TV’s best sci-fi series!
Linguist David Peterson, the inventor of Dothraki and High Valyrian, is featured this week (just an excerpt from a longer interview). Before that, Stephanie Barbé Hammer talks (ch.5) Jon I and Steve Ausburne talks about episode 5. After talking with David Peterson, Anthony delves into Irish-Catholic werewolves.
In this episode Cecily and Alexis touch snakes, get pumped for some action, and have so many questions?!?!
Season four is in the bag, but we’re not exactly in the bag for season four. We join up with our listeners on this feedback-filled wrapup to hash out our feelings on this season of Fargo once and for all. We’ll be back if Fargo comes back for another season, and in the meantime maybe check out our Bald Move Prestige podcast for all the well-dressed, respectful content we produce, unlike that lowbrow stuff we get up to over in the Bald Move Pulp podcast!
This week on The Mandalorian there are several moments that Star Wars fans have been waiting decades for. You’ve probably already seen the episode but I won’t say too much, just in case. The stormtroopers might be dumb, but they’re also up against one of the best. Join us for our discussion of The Manadalorian.
Welcome to the first Christmas movie of the 2020 holiday season, The Holiday! It features some major starpower, the likes of Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black. Yes, it’s a romantic comedy but you knew we had to do one eventually. There are just SO MANY rom-com Christmas movies out there and we can’t cover JUST the badass classics like Die Hard and Rocky IV! And if there was ever a season for variety, this is the one. COVID has been hard on all of us, so join us for this mostly-wholesome, very sappy, but also highly-enjoyable holiday treat.
Anthony and Chad ponder the friendship between Ned and Robert (are they really friends?) and the virtue/cowardice of Samwell Tarley. Steve considers Catelyn’s capture of Tyrion and does a deep dive into Rodrik Cassel’s sideburns.
