New father (congrats on #2!) and parkour/mindset coach, Maayan Olshan joins the pod to proselytize about the 1996 Michael Jordan/Looney Tunes flick, Space Jam. While Maayan can't get enough of this treasured childhood mainstay, Josh and Sean had no childhood affinity for the film. Would his unbridled passion for all Bugs and Co. transfer to the hosts? Would they take issue with the film's plot or lack thereof? Did an entire film re...

After wrapping things up on Gymkata and Pump Up the Volume, Sean and Josh sit down with our next guest Maayan Olshan to talk parkour, being a new father, mindset coaching, and about his childhood with movies. That includes a youth spent loving a very popular film that neither Sean nor Josh saw until well into their adulthood, for podcasting. And congrats on the second kiddo, Maayan!

Chelsea Cain--the best-selling author of Heartsick and the subsequent five books in the Archie Sheridan & Gretchen Lowell series, which count themselves amongst the more than a dozen books and comic book series on her bibliography--sits down with us to talk about the movie from which the term "Brat Pack" sprung unflatteringly, the 1985 Joel Schumacher film starring Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nel...

Neither Josh nor Sean had ever even heard of Phase IV when Mightie Minx submitted her list, but when they saw that it was the only feature directed by graphic design legend Saul Bass--who'd created some of the most striking opening title sequences in cinematic history--they knew they couldn't choose anything else. So what did Saul Bass make with this one shot at the helm? A movie pitting man against ant. Er, ANTS. Like a couple bil...

After catching up on pod business from the Dreamscape eps with Ted Douglass, UKRW sits down with the Mightiest Minx in the former Royals/Chiefs Twitterverse that's since migrated to other platforms, Tori. If you thought last week's film was an odd one, wait until you see what Tori brought along this time. Directed by a luminary artist, starring just a handful of actors opposite millions of tiny adversaries whose goal was the enslav...

Portland-based actor, sketch comic, writer, director, producer, and bon vivant, Ted Douglass comes back this week to discuss the largely forgotten Dennis Quaid star-vehicle from 1984, Dreamscape. Do the film's creators have grounds for a lawsuit against Christopher Nolan for having totally stolen the idea of Inception from this film? Can the film redeem itself after having its hero commit one of the most heinous acts we've seen a h...

After Josh and Sean catch up on pod business from the last two movies covered, they sit down with Portland multi-hyphenate creative (he can write, he can act, he can direct, he can produce--what can't he do???) Ted Douglass for a raucous journey through his childhood spent mostly in suburban Portland, diving into juvenile hot dog scamming, renting movies to Kevin Duckworth, and a whole host of other miscellany. And of course, next ...

Joined by Summer Santos Webber, we talk about one of the top grossing films of the 1990s, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, a movie she so badly wanted to see she built her birthday party around it that year. How did it play now to Summer? How did it play now to Sean and Josh, who didn't have nostalgia for the film working in its favor? Would any of them be opining about building a time machine to change the past? There's only one way...

Comic and lead singer of Riverboat Gamblers and Drakulas, Mike Wiebe joins us to revisit this surprisingly dark youth-oriented film that puts young Davey Osborne through the ringer in a Hitchcockian wrong man--er, wrong boy tale of international intrigue and kids out on the town. Kindertrauma abounds in this week's delirious ride through central San Antonio via the 1984 children's(?) film Cloak & Dagger, where our young hero pl...

This week, Sean and Josh talk with musician/comedian Mike Wiebe, who music fans would know as the frenetic frontman of both the bands Riverboat Gamblers and Drakulas and who comedy fans would know as half of the comedy duo the McCuewans in addition to his more than a decade doing stand-up. We talk about growing up in Denton, and how growing up in Texas helped make our next selection more important to him than it might have for a ki...

Having rewatched the beloved teen romantasy flick from her youth, 2002's Tuck Everlasting, Karyn Raynor of Chick-Lit, with Karyn and Aubree, is forced to reckon with its highly problematic (and later stolen) premise in which a 15-year-old girl is groomed by a 104-year-old immortal man in the body of a 17-year-old boy. Poor accents, plot holes, thinly fleshed out lore, and strange choices abound, and the origins of long-running tele...

Join us as we chat with Karyn Raynor of Chick-Lit, with Karyn and Aubree, digging into what she remembers about a beloved film adaptation of a teen romantasy book that was a bit of an awakening for Karyn and a movie neither Sean nor Josh had any relationship with before this podcast.

We throw on the helmet and strap in for a weird, wild ride this week as we watched the 1983 sci-fi family dramedy Brainstorm, featuring the ill-fated star-crossed lovers Christopher Walken and Natalie Wood, in the film that would prove to be her last, as she died tragically and mysteriously while this film was down for the holidays.

After Sean and Josh catch up on things after a few months down between Seasons 1 and 2, Josh sits down with our special guest for this week and next, Leo Allen, who shares a soft spot in his heart for next week's film, which is simultaneously not well known and yet somewhat significant, historically speaking. It's a great time with Leo.
