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.

Do the 5 Bloods

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 A hip-hop related Speed Round is then accompanied by a Cure for Covid that's full of heavily outdated MANDALORIAN chatter.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. 

The Forty Year Old Slam

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.  

Seagal vs JCVD

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!  

Bill and Ted Face the Galaxy

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!  

I'm Thinking of Adaptation

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!

Au Hasard Cow

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. 

Pickle Express

This week the boys tackle that time-tested genre known as the "Immortal Warrior Squad Movie". First they review Netflix's THE OLD GUARD, then check out BLADE II to see if it holds up. New drinking game: take a shot every time we say "world-building". Plus a new Cure for Covid segment! 

The Old Blade

Live from Film or Movie.... IT'S US! The guys check out two SNL alums' breakthrough flicks, starting with Pete Davidson in THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND. Then for Does It Hold Up, they cue up the comedy saxophones and discuss 1995's Chris Farley opus TOMMY BOY. Holy schnikes, indeed.

The King of Boy

The guys go full Voodoo this week as they review the French film ZOMBI CHILD, then dip back to 1997 to see if National Film Registry selection EVE'S BAYOU holds up. All that, plus Speed Round, a new Cure for Covid, and some always welcome Perfect Strangers talk! 

Zombi Bayou

It's a Hollywood cynic's dream come true as the boys check out  THE ASSISTANT, followed by Robert Altman's 1992 industry takedown, THE PLAYER. One member of the panel continues to befuddle the group with his Film/Movie labels and Tony leads a much-too-soon Pandemic Speed Round. Film or Movie, now more than ever! 

The Assistant Player

The boys don their douchiest fedoras and hit the town with Tom Hardy's most recent character showcase, CAPONE, then dip back to 1987 to see if Brian De Palma's THE UNTOUCHABLES still holds up. All that, plus dodgy internet service! Quick! Someone catch that stroller! 

The Untouchapones

The boys are back after a 6 year hiatus to talk all things film and movie! We review Ben Affleck's new(ish) basketball flick The Way Back, then dive into Hoosiers to see if it holds up. Some disclaimers: 1) This ep is longer than usual because we catch up and give an FoM primer for any new listeners. 2) We use swear words. 3) Even worse, we use spoilers. Lace up those Chuck Taylors... it's (the return of) Film or Movie!!! 

The Hoosiers Back

Special guest Erin Anderson re-joins the guys as the check out Richard Linklater's "Boyhood". For Does It Hold Up, the gang jumps into the urban mire of Larry Clark's "Kids". What better way to send Pete off on a burning viking podcast ship? "Shhh... It's me, Film or Movie..."

Kidshood

Special guest Alex Fox joins the boys as they go on a criminal road trip with Melissa McCarthy's "Tammy" followed by "Thelma & Louise". Will Tony and Ian clasp hands and plummet into the Grand Canyon? Listen to find out, but probably not. 

Film or Movie: Tammy & Louise

Film or Movie is the cinema review show that dares to ask: is it a film or is it a movie? Warning! We discuss spoilers! So it's best if you've seen the movies in question. Speaking of spoilers, here's one: we're awesome.
