After having so much fun discussing horny in their Challengers episode, the Rommies decided to keep up the heat for the next run of the pob: Horny Summer! And what better way to kick off the new season than to welcome back a returning guest with strong horny summer bonafides to talk about this 90s classic. Listen in as they analyze the feminist themes, share harrowing real-life tornado encounters, and discuss (excitedly and concernedly) the upcoming sequel.

Episode 102 Twister

"I didn't choose the Skux life, the Skux life chose me." This week, Aaron and James head out into the bush with a very special returning guest to talk about a delightfully funny Taika Waititi film. Is Sam Neill criminally underrated? Is Rachel House one of the greatest comedic actors alive? Is majestical a word? Listen in as the trifecta answers these questions, contemplates endless ideas for Paula spinoffs, and much more!

Episode 88: Hunt for the Wilderpeople

The entire Game & Watch draft crew is back this week to draft their favorite video game franchises! Now, if you're wondering how to define what constitutes a video game franchise ... well, so are we! The crew has a rollicking good time talking about their picks and there is no shortage of surprises along the way. This draft was far from predictable, and is not one to be missed!

The Video Game Franchise Draft

"Are you still saying your prayers? Our prayers protect us from the devil." Nothing can protect Aaron and James from a spirited discussion about the newest film from director Osgood Perkins. The target of much buzz and effective marketing, this horror thriller features Nicholas Cage (going for it, as usual), Maika Monroe, and some really great atmosphere. But does the film adequately explain why birthday algorithms are so terrifying? Does it try and do too much? And does it deserve to snuggle up next to classics such as The Silence of the Lambs? Listen in and then decide for yourself!

Episode 89: Longlegs

Grab your holy water, knife, and, uh, cross (are we sure it isn’t a boomerang?) because it’s time to kill Dracula! This week, Aaron and James finally tackle an entry in the beloved Castlevania series. This being a Castlevania game, you know you can count on James doing quite a bit of gushing. But while that might be the reason to tune in, discovering Aaron’s takes on the game and genre is the reason to stay. We hope you enjoy!

Episode 90: Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

This week, Aaron and James each select two infamous box office bombs and try to defend them. They explore what made those movies fail, what might have prevented the losses from happening in the first place, and why those movies are better than their gross suggests. Listen in and see what they picked!

Special Episode: Defending Box Office Bombs

Hop into your time machine and join the Rommies (and another returning special guest!) as they keep the Horny Summer party going, but this time with a little ancient Egyptian flair. Listen in as they discuss this film’s place in the action/adventure genre lineage (and Millennial culture in general), try to determine the logistics of Desert Voldemort “inheriting” certain body parts from his foes during his reanimation process, and defend the horniness of this movie against some blasphemous claims to the contrary.

Episode 103 The Mummy

“No one understands the lonely perfection of my dreams. I found perfection here. I've created it. A perfect organism.” This week, Aaron and James explore a later entry in the Alien series. Despite a great cast and strong direction from Ridley Scott, this is a strangely divisive film, and your hosts have set out to find out why. Join them as they discuss the tropes of the series, make inevitable comparisons to Prometheus, and more, all while picking a few nits along the way. And stick around for some intense controversy as Aaron and James reveal their Alien movie rankings.

Episode 91: Alien: Covenant

“We-a won’t be happy until de Island-a Open champ-a plays-a Mario!” Grab your tennis rackets and Game Boy link cables, and join Aaron and James for an exploration of a true gem in an underappreciated genre: the sports RPG! Lend an ear as they discuss a story mode strangely devoid of Mario characters, why a fully grown, seemingly middle-aged man would be attending a children’s tennis academy, and much more!  Does this Mario sports title hold up 2024?  Come listen and find out!

Episode 92: Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)

“Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?” This week, Aaron and James board a bus armed with a bomb set to explode if they say anything negative about this 90s classic thrill ride. Join them as they discuss action hero Keanu, the absolute joy that is Sandra Bullock, and a supporting cast that’s a real who’s who of the era. They’ve got a few nits to pick along the way, but it should come as little surprise to those familiar with this film that there is much to love. Enjoy!

Episode 93: Speed

Since the world clearly needs another podcast about movies, the Rommies have reunited to revive the 1F Film Festival, in pobcass format! Join them for another iteration of everyone's favorite lo-fi, living room film festival.
