RAISING ARIZONA (1987)
It only took us until season thirteen, but bros, strap in, because we're FINALLY doing a Coen Brothers movie!!
That's right, today we're diving into the madcap, eccentric, delightful romp that kicked off Nicolas Cage's movie-stardom and made us all realize that quite literally everyone can be softened by an exceptionally cute baby -- Raising Arizona!
Along the way, we discuss the brothers' distinctive directorial style, the safety concerns of two cinephiles who also happen to be babysitters, and the absolutely unbeatable star quality of this dynamite cast.

Bros... how YOU doin'?
On today's ep, we're talking the WORST cinema pick-up lines in all of celluloid history! From ferris-wheel-related guiltings to copious use of the word "heinie", there are MANY to choose from! Along the way, we discuss our toxic flirting preferences, John Cusack's ability to out-charm a bad script, and the absolutely impossible task of making body parts sound sexy.

DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989)
O BROS, MY BROS! Happy first of September! We're kicking off the school year with a back-to-school CLASSIC, all about seizing the day, playing bongos in caves, and adoring Robin Williams with every fibre of one's soul: Dead Poets Society!
Along the way we discuss the behind the scenes drama between Williams and a potential director, the existential dread that 80's synth can cause, and, of course, the abject deliciousness of words!
