Episode 518: The Not 2021 Top Ten

As the review portion of 2021 continues, it's time to take a look at favorite films seen last year... but not FROM last year... nay, from years before!

After a few birthday movie shoutouts, Mikey and #TwitterlessDrEarl and Dave give their take on what they've seen recently that you should check out...  plus, Dave's problem with Woody Allen movies, and a new ScarJo quest.

Then, each give their top ten films seen in 2021 that are films from previous years. And unlike previous NOT Top Tens, this one spans the generations of movies... including Dr. Earl's total pretentiousness... Mikey's take on History Channel Spielberg and sheer hatred of Kate Hepburn... The Orsen Wells oeuvre
Judd Apatow vs Billy Wilder... and the story of the 20 something Aubrey-Matarin novels. Because you needed that.

Episode 408: ReFlicktions Story

Even though ReFlicktions are every month, Christmastime ReFlicktions just seem a little better, more festive, and jollier.  That bowl full of jelly isn't jelly at all, it's just Mikey laughing at #TwitterlessDrEarl's jokes, while Dave tries to keep control!


This month, the guys have a plethora, a cornucopia, a tundra if you will, of films to discuss, including many still in theaters and several Oscar contenders.

Dave leads off with one of the worst films he's seen in a while, while Mikey gives three films with incredibly long and cumbersome titles. The guys wonder if they've talked about Doctor Sleep already (??) and marvel at Ford v Ferrari.

The guys dive deep into The Irishman with mixed results, Mikey is displeased with a critical darling, Dave catches up on an old Disney classic, and everyone agrees that Rian Johnson's new film is a home run.
