MISFITS & OUTCASTS--Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

SPECIAL GUEST: David from Seriously Pointless Conversations about Culture!

Welcome back as we present our second episode in the Misfits, Outcasts and Loners series--Hellboy II: The Golden Army!
We thought that having a sequel as the number two slot in our new series is fitting as we return from the soul-searching of Nomadland to the metropolis again, battling ancient evils and fantastical beasts as Hellboy, Liz, and Abe Sapien (along with the entire BPRD) fight to keep our world safe from those who want to take it for themselves.
To help us tackle this discussion, we have on a very special guest: David from SPCAC! He is a fellow podcaster, and a comic nut who ranks Hellboy at the top of his favorites list. He breaks down some of the history of the character for us before we jump into this movie that has some nostalgia for us all. If you remember, we mentioned we were doing this one in Jesse's Birthday episode. Find that one here: Jesse's Birthday
Also, check out David's podcast as, this week, Vito does a good deep dive on the character of Hellboy both in the films and in the comics.

MISFITS & OUTCASTS: Nomadland (2020)
Monday Mar 22, 2021
Monday Mar 22, 2021
GUEST: Dave
Alright everybody, we are kicking off our new series: Misfits & Outcasts! In this series, we will be tackling movies that are about those that don't fit into society in a conventional way, but maybe find their communities outside the fringes of the places that rejected them, or that they rejected themselves. And what better way to do it than with Nomadland, the surprising hit that is a major player for the Oscars...and our hearts.
We ask questions like: would we be nomads? What would that even look like? How does this movie function as a time capsule? What is the true meaning and nature of Fern?
We cover a lot of ground, as always, but something must be mentioned. We recently changed mics, and as of this recording had not ironed the bugs out of it yet. The audio is not up to our standard, but we hope you enjoy it anyway!
Stay tuned at the end of the episode for some outtakes, as Jesse navigated recording in his car.

LISTENER REQUEST MONTH: Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
Monday Mar 15, 2021
Monday Mar 15, 2021
Guys, this is a Fantastic episode! And it’s about 2009’s family(?) movie, Fantastic Mr. Fox! It’s a good thing we could be so fantastic for this. Do you know what isn’t fantastic though? A mid-life crisis. It sucks. And we are here to talk about our un-fantastic theoretical mid life-crises. Also, was this a happy ending? We are fantastically contentious on that point.
So come one and come all and come big and come small to listen to a feast for the ears! Dads talking about fantastic kids and fantastic foxes. And, as we all know, dads and foxes go together like kids and opposums. I gotta stop writing this because I am pretty sure there’s a wolf behind me.

LISTENER REQUEST MONTH--Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse (2018)
Monday Mar 08, 2021

IT"S A BIG ONE! For our next episode in our LISTENER REQUEST MONTH, A momentous entry into the dad canon - Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. Guess that's a bit of a spoiler but c'mon - if you've seen it, you agree. 'nuff said.
This week Jesse took the webs and hosted our fan-favorite; hard to credit exactly where this one came from. This was our most requested movie both among our pod-family and outside of it, Into the Spiderverse has a big place in our hearts. We've been excited to talk about this one from the beginning, and we're so glad YOU, dear reader (listener?) were equally excited to hear us. Keep those requests coming!
We cover a LOT of multiverses in this one - talking about this movie, talking about it in relation to other super-hero movies, and Vito's unhealthy love of one of the MANY spider-people.
Is this the best superhero film ever?
Who is the best spiderman? Who is the WORST?
Which scene brought us to tears?
Find out in this episode!

LISTENER REQUEST MONTH: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
Sunday Feb 28, 2021

Okay, so we are back to our LISTENER REQUEST MONTH, after taking a quick break to celebrate Jesse's Birthday!
This week, our request came from Madeleine who wanted to hear our thoughts on The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, a true western classic, with cowboys and robbers and cattlemen and an extended foray into the process of statehood. Also Jimmie Stewart and John Wayne. Did not wanna forget those guys.
For Mike and Jesse, this was a big one! For Vito, it was a brand new experience, but informed by a whole childhood of John Wayne and John Ford. What we all have in common is a deep love of the stars and the creator, but that doesn't mean we let everybody off the hook for some attitudes and ideas that haven't aged well.
As always, don't worry. We talk about it all!
Also Mike makes a truly painful Dad joke. I mean, groan-worthy. You need to hear it to believe it.
