Episodes
Cooper is joined by guests Bree and Bella to discuss the latest Pixar movie. We enjoy a wide-ranging conversation about the delights and shortcomings of a movie that is a spectacular return to form for Pixar, while throwing shade on Turning Red and Twisters. We also discuss the importance of tourniquets (yes, we really do).

This episode is what happens when you get five guys who like movies to talk about the recent Dune movie. A long, fun, and hopefully insightful conversion about Paul's turn to dark messiah, the highs and lows of the climax, pronunciation, the romance, the score, why anyone should care about Dune, and in true homeschooler fashion, how this story compares to the Aeneid. We hope you enjoy!

Turns out, when we said, "We're watching that Kurt Russel movie where he talks in a funny accent and gathers together a bunch of ragtag, scruffy looking, teeth-missing people who he trains and leads to take down a big baddy," we meant Tombstone, not Miracle.
