Today we’re trying something a little different.  For a long time, we’ve been talking about the Hollywood stock we’ve bought, how it turned out, and whose future we’d invest in today.  Our inescapable hubris made us believe you’d like to hear that conversation, so HERE IT IS!  You’re gonna hear names like Skeet Ulrich and James Purefoy (busts), Rosario Dawson and Anna Kendrick (stocks we’ll never sell), and Anya Tayl...

"Tonight we're not thinking -- just doing."  Let's travel back to the 80's to celebrate this film that was made in 2007 but released in 2011!  We feel this gem went under the radar and judging by the box office we're not wrong.  Join us as we cover all things Fogler, Grace, Faris and Pratt.  We love an homage when it's done right and this film gets it right.  All the way down to the "boyeeee" dance battle. ...

It’s gorgeous, poignant, funny, and unveils the true origin of the Cigarette Burns name.

"THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!!"  - Jedd is back and we do a quick burn on one of the most anticipated movies of the year, Aaron Sorkin's Trial of the Chicago 7.  This is a fascinating look at one of the most important moments in modern history as it moves back and forth between the events that led to the protest and riots of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the bizarre trial that followed.  We loved it, but as...

“Cow….another cow. I think that was the same cow.” That’s right Burners, we start chasing tornadoes with the 1996 classic, “Twister”. Jan De Bont delivers an incredible disaster flick despite being a bit of a disaster himself behind the scenes. We get into all the meteorology and break down why this movie works, why the script is terrible, and why Cole thinks this is a fantastic “Mighty Ducks” remake. Strap down, get in the basemen...

Today’s episode is an experimental journey through “Happy Accidents”, the 2000 Marisa Tomei/Vincent D’Onofrio romance. We mixed it up a bit and tried to have some fun with this off-beat, often bad, always bizarre time-travel romantic comedy. Cole watched the first half; Jedd watched the second and we then recorded our guesses as to what happened. Spoiler alert – Cole had no idea. We had a blast trying to dissect where this script w...

"Pain don't hurt" Or does it? No no, it definitely does not hurt. You know what else doesn't hurt?

“THERE’S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!!” – or is there?
