Episode 383: Good Disappointments

Jun 19, 2019

Sometimes you get movies you love that are awesome... sometimes you get movies that you love that are otherwise terrible... and sometimes you get movies that are supposed to be fantastic, but you just can't quite get it together enough to like them.  Appreciate them, sure. Like them? Nope. And to discuss such serious matters, Dave and Mikey bring in cinephile and independent auteur Friend of the Show Jeremy Burgess. First up, Birthday Movies! Find out how old 22 Jump Street is... and Tarzan... and Rocky II... and the incredible June that was in 1989 Studio Themes is the name of the game this time around, as the guys try to guess the quick music presenting everything from Amblin to Universal. Finally, the top five movie disappointments... from Roma to Vice to a Chris Nolan epic to a Godfather sequel to a Harry Potter tripe. And finally, Dave dissects what exactly is wrong with the movie Boyhood and why Burgess is wrong for loving it so much.  While Mikey just hates it.
