Watching Movies at the Bar

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals. Bethy wrote a Christmas movie, Hallmark-style, and it features the voices of past guest Michael Hartney and our own producer Colin. Give it a listen, why dontcha.

Return of ch'boy Allen Strickland Williams (our ep on LAST DAYS OF DISCO) to talk Kids in the Hall. We got two devotees of the cause, one noob. Can you guess who is which? And which KITH sketch is your favorite? Sound off in the comments!

Noted Rock God Mike Adams (MIKE ADAMS AT HIS HONEST WEIGHT, UNSPOKEN REQUESTS) joins us to talk hair metal and 80's LA. Additional topics discussed: Longmot Potion Castle, Norma Jean, Penelope Spheeris' music video history, this movie's Dave Mustaine vs. the one we see in SOME KIND OF MONSTER.

Amanda Hasaka of Disneyland Foodies came through to talk, weirdly enough, about a non-theme park installment of the 3 Ninjas franchise. Go figure!

We say au revoir to our Francophone era with IRMA VEP. Official Assayas fanboy Thomas gets Bethy deep into Irma, and Bethy gets Ben Collins (THE NIGHT HOUSE, nu HELLRAISER) into the Situationist International. A real brainy one!

Mohanad Elshieky (IM SORRY podcast, FULL FRONTAL) joins us for part 2 of moviebarpod's inadvertent journey to France. Thomas and Bethy are divided on this one! Come for the debate, stay for the obseqious fawning over Patton Oswalt.

The incomparable Caissie St. Onge (The Rosie Show, Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best) came by to talk about Prince, Prince, and more Prince. Prince the film auteur, Prince the joke-maker, Prince the woman iconographer. Get into it!

Addie Weyrich (Everything's Great at Dynasty Typewriter) joins us to talk about the ultimate heist film, the ultimate Vegas film, and the ultimate dudes rock film: Ocean's 11. We talk about masculinity, control vs. loosey goosey in Soderbergh jawns, plus a cameo by Producer Colin. Come have fun with us!

Michael Chau (@Srirachachau on Twitter) joins us to talk coming-of-age classing SUPERBAD. We answer the world's oldest question: soup, or bad? Plus realizing that this movie is, and always has been, ACAB. Join us!
