Like mighty gladiators, Matt, Harrison, and Liz slay your doldrums with insightful commentary and new scenes that would make even Spartacus say, "They are better!"Harrison said that it's #80 (it's actually #81) and he was so wrong about it. He thought about just re-recording the whole thing but the others would surely kill him.Guest Liz Reuss joins…

We went looking for the American Dream and we couldn't find it anywhere. "Easy Rider" is positioned as the best road trip movie by many. We take a long trip with this one as we travel with them to the Big Easy and then to parts unknown. We thank Pat Tamisiea for joinging us on this one!De către We Made it Better

Sorry about the sound quality on this one. I'm not sure what happened but if you like muffled, electronica -- strap on your diaper. For #86, we visit "Platoon". It's a harrowing look into the human animal situated in a war far from home.Charlie Sheen has HIV now. If you wanted to see how he rose, here's probably where it all started.…

According to many people, this movie defines the genre of "screwball comedy". It's a pretty simple formula: add a couple of leopards, an heiress, a paleontologist, and a million dollars and you'll end up with hi-jinx galore! Christine Lin joins us for a ride into the beautiful and the absurd.De către We Made it Better

It's been a long, long time but here we are in 2017. Unfortunately, we lost Heather to Chicago but we wish nothing but happiness for her as she hopefully finds her cousin, Balky.#90 is "Swing Time". It's quite a hoot of a film and there's a hum-dinger of what is supposed to be a homage. We'll not spoil you here, fair listener! Enjoy!…

Are we only 10% done? The answer is no because I'm sure we'll probably end up pulling a "Love Actually" and doing other movies outside this list. But bear in mind, we don't do this for us, we do this for you.And we respond to our second email!Goodfellas is a story of three good friends -- albeit one's a psychopath. It's just like Harrison, Heather,…

A storied car chase through the girders of New York City defines a movie that unfortunately has not aged well. He's your uncle who got drunk at the family reunion and hit on your girlfriend. By the way, thanks for writing in, Brian, but your email arrived after we already recorded this one! We'll address your email in the next episode!…

Apparently Harrison had no control over his levels. You'll hear some "clipping". That's what's it's called in the biz when the level of input "overwhelms" the recording and you get "loud static". Anyway, it's been addressed and I assure you that the next recording will be like fine china.Anyhoo, coming in at #94 is 1994's "Pulp Fiction". Quentin Ta…

For whatever reason, the recording quit just as we were finishing that's why it ends the way it does. Either that or we wanted the Inception ending -- are we just dreams or are we living in a reality?Well, if it's 1951 in the dying town of Anarene, Texas, you'd rather live in a dream. Why? Take a listen and you'll find out. Life is bleak and love f…

Happy Holidays from Afternoon Snack Paks!

Opinions vary.It's a hot mess of a podcast but bonus is that it may be our best sounding, yet!…
