"Limitless" - F**k B**ches, Get Money… basically
Limitless is the ultimate guy movie… and we are not taking questions on that. We break down how Shia LaBeouf was originally cast as Eddie Morra before a car accident handed the role to Bradley Cooper, and why that accident might have saved this movie entirely. We discuss how Bradley Cooper realized mid-shoot that his performance wasn't working and completely overhauled how he played a genius on the drug. And we get into the ending that everyone thinks is a happy ending… and why it actually proves Eddie never got off the pill and never will.Chapters:(Coming soon)

"Land of the Lost" - The Most Hated Comedy of All Time
Land of the Lost is a disaster on almost every level… but is still one of Kade’s favorite movies. We break down how Universal bought the rights to this movie with the sole purpose of putting Will Ferrell in it at the peak of his career, and how it still managed to flop harder than almost any movie in Hollywood history. We talk about why this is the only movie Will Ferrell and Danny McBride ever made together and why that alone makes it worth watching. We get into how the original creators of the TV show publicly apologized at Comic-Con and called it one of the worst films ever made. And we discuss why despite all of that, this movie gets exponentially funnier every single time you rewatch it.Chapters:00:00 Announcements & Intro0:52 Why are we watching this movie?9:03 Horrible plot16:08 Massive flop24:57 Jorma Taccone out of nowhere32:16 A universally hated movie42:02 The lines that made it's way into Kade's vocabulary54:22 Adam McKay almost graced us with directing59:26 Has Will Ferrell lost his touch?1:05:29 Final thoughts

"Hell or High Water" - A Perfectly Written Movie Nobody Talks About
Hell or High Water is one of the most perfectly written movies ever made… and somehow nobody talks about it. We break down how Taylor Sheridan built the dying cowboy way of life directly into the DNA of this film and why every single character, even the smallest ones, feels like somebody you actually know. We talk about Jeff Bridges delivering one of the best performances of his entire career as a retiring ranger who can't quite let go. We get into Ben Foster's insane method acting and the wild lengths he goes to for every role he takes. And we discuss how this movie got four Oscar nominations and walked away with nothing, which honestly just makes us more pissed off about it.Chapters:00:00 Announcements & intro0:54 Some of the most real characters on screen11:41 The theme effects every part of this movie17:33 The coolest side character there is19:45 Chris Pine stepping out of the usual22:39 Breaking down the opening scene26:17 The beautifully bad brotherly love30:47 Ben Foster's insane method acting practices42:47 No Country vibes45:28 The perfectly written dialogue47:57 In praise of Jeff Bridges53:23 2016 tough year to win an award56:00 How Taylor Sheridan wrote this movie59:09 A complete rushed production1:02:39 Smart editing choices in this movie1:06:11 Townsfolk have never been more ready1:15:09 Our final thoughts

"The Big Short" - Why The Big Short Gets Better Every Single Time You Watch It
Adam McKay’s passion project that changed the direction of his career. We break down how The Other Guys was his first attempt at calling out the 2008 financial crisis through comedy… and when nobody took it seriously, he made this. We get into why cutting away to Margot Robbie in a bathtub to explain mortgage backed securities is actually Adam McKay making fun of the audience. We discuss how Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment quietly made this movie possible after already producing Moneyball from the same author. And we break down why Ryan Gosling's performance as Jared Vennett might be the most underrated thing in the entire film.Chapters:00:00 ANNOUCEMENTS & Intro2:02 Adam McKay finally being fr this time9:25 What the hell is even going on in this movie17:17 Michael Burry's next big prediction21:26 Why Adam McKay wanted to make this movie26:25 Josh Safdie needs to take some notes31:47 What happened in the Morgan Stanley scene?35:12 Brad Pitt making money moves38:14 How the cast came to be & stories from their prep52:21 Why the style is perfect for the movie59:04 Our final thoughts

"The Other Guys" - The Dumbest Serious Movie Ever Made
The Other Guys is one of those comedy staples that will live forever in the comedy movie hall of fame. We break down why Will Ferrell playing the put together guy in the room, instead of the usual idiot, is one of the best running jokes he's ever done. We get into how Adam McKay hid real commentary on the 2008 financial crisis inside one of his dumbest, funniest comedies, and how that satire ended up being the first step toward him making The Big Short. We also talk about the deleted ending featuring Derek Jeter that hinted at a sequel that never happened. And we discuss why this movie never gets brought up in comedy conversations despite being one of the most quotable films Will Ferrell has ever made.Chapters:00:00 Announcements0:41 The ultimate comedy duo7:00 The Adam McKay Will Ferrell breakup11:50 Will Ferrell leveling up Mark Wahlberg’s comedy18:20 How The Other Guys creates funny scenes21:38 Greatest opening to a comedy movie25:12 Adam McKay covering real topics disguised as a comedy30:24 The finances of The Other Guys34:41 Donald Trump almost made it in the movie37:01 Our favorite moments from this movie51:03 Dirty Mike and Boys outtakes54:54 Our final thoughts

"Obsession" - Why Everyone Is Obsessed With Obsession
Obsession completely lives up to the hype, and the game has changed. We break down how Curry Barker turned a YouTube sketch comedy career into one of the best horror movies of the year on a budget of just $750,000. We talk about Inde Navarrette's star making performance as Nikki and why her descent into obsession is somehow funny, heartbreaking, and horrifying all at once. We get into why this film might change how Hollywood looks for new directing talent, especially creators already building audiences on YouTube. And we give our honest reaction to a movie that had us on the edge of our seat the entire time, wondering what she was going to do next.Chapters:00:00 ANNOUCEMENTS0:29 Our first reaction6:18 Hollywood is probably gonna change9:49 What makes this movie so scary12:06 Bear is a f***** p****15:52 The scariest part of this movie21:47 More on why Bear sucks24:57 The freedom now unlocked with the One Wish Willow26:17 A new breakout star31:28 The comedy sketches sneak their way into the movie34:18 The party scene...36:14 Music is banging in this movie38:00 The cat sandwich scene...39:45 The ending of this movie was changed42:48 The angry art director54:24 Our final thoughts

"Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" - Tarantino at His Most Meta
Tarantino spent seven years writing this movie… and you can feel every single one of them on screen. We break down why Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the greatest hangout movie ever showing exactly what the golden age of Hollywood felt like. We discuss why this is Tarantino's most meta film and how he hid his entire career inside it — from Leo playing a bad actor playing a villain that mirrors his own Django role, to Rick Dalton's comeback story being a direct reflection of how Tarantino has always resurrected faded Hollywood careers. We get into the full Charles Manson backstory and how Tarantino kept him lurking in the background the entire film to build tension. And we talk about how Tarantino turned one of history's darkest moments into the most satisfying ending he's ever put on screen.Chapters:00:00 Announcements0:29 The greatest hangout movie ever told8:51 Aging like fine wine14:45 Tarantino at his most meta29:08 Tarantino adding real details about Spahn Ranch37:26 Proving the Bruce Lee fanboys are WRONG43:07 Tarantino is an interesting cat50:10 Tarantino broke his no improv rule52:04 Tarantino writing himself in this movie57:34 The book & Cliff Booth movie1:03:47 Our final thoughts

"Leon: The Professional" - Nobody Warned Us About Leon the Professional
Well… this movie is something, isn't it? Leon: In this episode we break down Leon: The Professional. We talk about Gary Oldman's insane performance and how he created one of the best villians improvising the entire time. We tell the story of how the production smuggled illegal weapons into France and got hit with massive fines when authorities shut it down. We get into why Natalie Portman's parents ever allowed her to be in this movie. And we give our honest reaction to a cult classic that caught us WAY off guard in ways we were not ready for.Chapters:00:00 Announcements0:29 Not what we were expecting...12:43 How Jean Reno helped the problematic story14:49 The sketchy backstory of the director19:06 How Natalie Portman's parents kept her safe25:26 Why is this a cult classic28:07 Gary Oldman here to save the day36:12 Keanu Reeves and John Wick41:10 Jean Reno's method acting & the music44:14 The most accurate DEA raid in movie history45:09 Setting up major scenes49:35 Could've been Man on Fire53:02 Our final thoughts
