Is It for Reel

IIFR E153: Starship Troopers

As Winston Churchill said, "We will fight on the beaches, we will fight on the rocky slopes of Klendathu, we will fight in space. Hey watch out for those bug booty bombs." That's right we watched Starship Troopers.  So be sure to practice your jumpball moves, keep that chin strap on tight, oh and double check you're not a cog in a fascist regime. And watch out; the bugs are mean, the the showers are coed, and did we mention that you might be rooting for the baddies. Want to know more!!!

IIFR 152: The Bodygaurd

And IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIiiIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiIIiiiiiiiiiIIIIIII...... Just a simple one letter word sung to perfection and you know exactly what we're talking about.  That's right we watched The Bodygaurd.  Come for the romance but stay to see Kevin Costner chest kick a Day Clown.  We'll see if we can discover do samurai swords make for good foreplay, is Kevin Costner the best or worst actor, and was Whitney Houston the best singer or the greatest singer?  ........IIIIiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiIII will always love You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IIFR E151: The Big Lebowski

What makes a man?  Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? We needed to find out so we watched The Big Lebowski.  So join us as our podders discover the irresistible sex appeal of a man in a bathrobe, delve into whether the rug or the money is the true macguffin, and finally try to figure out why every guy we know has this movie memorized.  Maybe the talking tumbleweed knows.  I am the walrus!!!!!!!!!!

IIFR E150: Congo

Happy Mother's Day y'all!!!  We of course watched the most Mother's Day movie of all time: Congo!  So grab your comms-link death ray, take a closer look at those gorilla grant applications, and grab all your bright red camo jungle gear.  Come on, shake your body, baby, do the Congo.  I know you can't control yourself any long-o!!?!

IIFR E149: Who's That Girl

So our podders were on Holiday reading a Vogue article about the Material Girl.  Keep It Together, y'all, it's only Human Nature they watched Who's That Girl.  So get ready for a Bedtime Story about Erotica, a Bad Girl, and some Hanky Panky! Like a Prayer we learned in church we said Oh Father, Justify My Love for this movie even though it's Borderline a Fever dream. So whether you Cherish this True Blue classic or if you're Like a Virgin and you've never seen it, Express Yourself!  Also, Papa Don't Preach about pronunciation (You'll See once you finish the pod).  And remember Don't Cry for Me Argentina, , Bitch I'm Madonna, La Isla Bonita!!!!!!   

 

IIFR E148: The Burbs

Our podders are dreaming of the suburbs... white picket fences, BBQ's with the neighbors, and murder. That's right we watched The Burbs.  So stifle your rage at your neighbors lawn, get a hobby other than peeping, and remember hell is other people whether it's murderous psychos or just Steve who always leaves his trash cans in front of your driveway! Freakin Steve!!!!! About a nine on the tension scale, Rube!!!!

 

 

IIFR E147: Death Becomes Her

Spring is the time of rebirth, frenemieship, and Camp with a capital 'C'. Thusly, our podders put on their fanciest lounge leotards and watched Death Becomes Her.   So go get a spray (paint) tan, strengthen up your neck, and read the fine print before you go drinking anything at Isabella Rosellini's pool parties! Bottom's up!!!!!!

IIFR E146: Say Anything

Our podders spent all winter strengthening their delts for boombox season and you know the whole time they watched Say Anything.  So bust out your trench coat (it works for every social occasion), practice your graduation a cappella song, and say it with me 'mixtapes always make more romantic gifts then pens'!  And don't you go being fooled by those puppy dog eyes.  Joe lies when he cries!!!

IIFR E145: Twister

Our podders have never been afraid of Big Corporate Weather, so they bravely watched Twister! Grab all your famous character actor interns (like all of them), bring a duffle bag of white tank tops, We're gonna discover a little bit about love, the probability of 5 twisters coming at ya at once, and how this was a lesbian movie all along.  So shout out your favorite tornado lingo, you know it by heart! "It’s a sidewinder; We got sisters; They’re in the bear cage; The cone of silence; They're gonna punch the core"

IIFR E144: Fame

We're here to talk about the tune that has been in your brain since the day you were born.  That's right we watched Fame and we want to live forever!  So let's travel back to 1980 New York City, where the streets was gritty, the band geeks, chorus nerds, and dance freaks were battling it out to see who could rule the art WORLD, and of course everyone's dreams come true.  (checking my notes and that should read broken dreams).  Watch out, monologues coming!!!!
