Is It for Reel

IIFR E132: Bend It Like Beckham

We here at the Pod have World Cup Fever (the Kiwi down under Women's variant) so we watched Bend It Like Beckham.  Now lace up your boots, sign your coach up for an emergency HR class, and start doing sit-ups because regionals are right around the corner.  And don't forget to score a goal; the scout from Santa Clara will be there!!!!!! (also double check your coach is attending that class, it's really important.)

IIFR E131: Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Edmund Burke once said "Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it".  Well, history is boring so we watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.  So grab your crop top gym shirt, maybe a list of female historical figures, and stop looking at your step mom like that.  While we may never know if Bill and Ted formed a truly egalitarian rock based society or just a weird cult, their ethos sure is all encompassing and succinct.  Be excellent to each other and party on dudes!  

IIFR E130: Mr. Mom

In honor of Father's Day, our podders reached back to 1983 and watched Mr. Mom.  So set your wooby on the funeral pyre, start growing that 'it's the apocalypse' beard, and remember Joan is gonna Joan so no sense trying to change her.  Now start stretching like it's company picnic time!!!

IIFR E129: The Golden Child

What does a magical Tibetan child, viking pirates, a dancing pepsi can, and Eddie Murphy have in common?  If you said nothing, you're ready to watch The Golden Child with us. So pack your pocket full of snacking leaves, practice your forbidden temple obstacle course strategy, and remember the shortest path between two points is a bunch of backflips!!!! Now spin the speaking pole and sing!!!!!

IIFR E128: Working Girl

Big lights, big city, big hair!   Our podders wanted to learn about business, so they watched Working Girl.  So tease out your hair (it's the 80's y'all), fake it till you make it, and fellas take a step back the title is 'Working Girl' not 'Harrison Ford Bores Us with Mergers'.  Work it, girl!!!

IIFR E127: Blue Crush

We're back baby!!! Back in the ocean and ready to surf some pipe for REAL!!!! Our brave podders waxed down their boards and watched Blue Crush.  So all you surfer girls and guys throw on a bikini, train like the tournament is in a year or two, and maybe put on a full helmet (heads are smacking the coral like it's going out of style).  And just like Michelle Rodriguez says follow your dreams no matter how dangerous it is but also don't risk your life for a dream, man!  Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the....oops missed the wave.  

IIFR E126: Mannequin

Reading the papers, you'd think this world is running out of lovers, but don't fret, we'll still have each other. NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US NOW!! That's right we watched Mannequin.  So get fired from your jobs, forget that malls aren't really a thing anymore, and get ready for some costume changes.  Montage!!!!!  When in doubt just think WWMD:  What would Meshach do? He'd be an icon; that's what!

IIFR E125: Honey, I Shrunk The Kids

Kids, am I Right?  They grow up in a blink of an eye so why not shrink em!  Thusly, our podders watched Honey I Shrunk The Kids.  So set the 'Shrink (death) Ray' to 3/4 inch and get ready to learn about atomic physics, when to worry about the safety of your kids, and oh ya French Class.  Ha ha ha!!!!  Also, keep saying the mantra "I hate ants.  I won't shed a tear.  I hate ants. I won't shed a tear."  Good luck, it's a jungle out there!

IIFR E124: The Mummy

It's that time of year when people are rising from the dead and plagues are coming in double digits! Appropriately,  our brave podders wrapped themselves up tight and watched The Mummy.  Get your desert bangs ready, decide which plague you want to marry, and don't go picking up random intestine jars.  They nasty.  Anck Su Namuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!!!!!

IIFR E123: Willow

Do you like your fantasy dark and dirty.  Well, our podders do so they watched Willow.   Grab some medieval teeth whitener, watch out for troll meatballs, and pack a diaper bag. Now, get thee to the crossroads, find a birdcage friend, and go on an adventure already!
