Ep. 47: Hot Tub Time Machine
Lucy and Jenny and Token Guy Alastair agree this is great comedy and great bromance and then part company on the craft (who is the protagonist anyway?).

Ep. 46: The Hangover
Lucy and Jenny have to drink just to get through talking about this turkey. Get the podcast: [Listen here at PopD] | [Go to iTunes] Story Analysis & Ratings: Lucy says: 1 Pop ~ A schizophrenic movie with no structure, no consistency in character and too few charming, funny moments. There was a hint of […]

Ep 45: Dodgeball
A heartwarming movie for the whole family that shows that Stephen Root is never ever bad in anything, and that everybody needs to throw a little wrench sometimes.

April, May, June, July . . .
Here’s PopD’s next four months. All but two of the movies are available streaming somewhere: Raiders of the Lost Ark and Ocean’s 11. And really, shouldn’t you own those? They’re classics. At least Netflix should have plenty of copies. CAPERS & HEISTS: PLOTTING Apr. 29: Pocket Full of Miracles (1961) streaming on Amazon May 6: […]

Technical Difficulties
Hey, Poppers! I’m sorry to report, there were problems with the audio from last night’s podcast, so we’re going to have to re-record it today, which means it probably won’t be up until later tonight, or tomorrow morning. We apologize for the delay, but we’ll have the podcast up as soon as we can. Thanks!

Ep 44: Weekend at Bernie’s
Lucy and Jenny discover that audacious comedy requires strong craft to hold it up. The people who put together this movie must have missed that memo. As a side note, this 44th episode of the podcast runs exactly 44 minutes and 44 seconds, completely without manipulation from us. We’re taking that as a sign that […]

How About Friday? Is Friday Good For You?
Lani and I had our State of the PopD lunch at Panera today, and we came away with good stuff thanks to your feedback. First, we’re switching back to Fridays. It’s going to be awful for some people, but I wanted my Saturday nights and for a lot of people, Saturday is date night/family night/church […]

What Have We Learned From This, Dorothy?
Lani and I are having a business meeting at Panera tomorrow to review PopD and decide things like what the hell we want to do now that we’ve analyzed romantic comedy to death, how we can make the podcasts better, and what night to meet on. And one of the things we’re going to talk […]

Ep. 43: Killers
A movie that would have benefited greatly from the writers knowing what story they were telling. Still, Catherine O’Hara makes it worth watching. Get the podcast: [Listen here at PopD] | [Go to iTunes] Story Analysis & Ratings: Lucy says: 2 Pops ~ Again, I have to say – “I’m hot, you’re hot” does not […]

What Are You Doing Saturdays?
Lucy teaches two classes every Sunday in May and when she does that, she’s too wiped out to argue with me on Sunday nights, so we’re switching to Saturday nights. Yes, I know that screws with date night, plus it means Sweetness and Light are on board again, and I kind of like finishing the […]

Ep. 42: The Baker aka Assassin in Love
Lucy thinks this movie was funny; sometimes. Jenny thinks it’s a crime against storytelling. Get the podcast: [Listen here at PopD] | [Go to iTunes] Story Analysis & Ratings: Lucy says: 1.25 Pops ~A charming setting and a solid premise are taken down by hubris and inexperienced storytelling. Damn shame. Lucy’s rating breakdown: Structure:1, Comedy: […]
