15 SEP 2024 · A major milestone for Luke & Corrye, as the Chumps hit their 200th episode! Thing is, the boys decided to do a little something different. No film breakdowns. Instead? An interview about the state of film and other cinema whatnot with James "Stuntman Mike" - one of the Chumps' favorite film buffs on Twitter. From the importance of Terminator 2 to the death of James Earl Jones, the three fellas cover a smorgasbord of topics.

25 AUG 2024 · Don't ingest the negative feedback you're seeing online: this thing is fantastic! A more than worthy addition to the franchise. Luke & Corrye have minimal nitpicks and quite a lot of praise, epecially for director Fede Alvarez and this team of young actors anchored by David Johnsson (marvelous!). We get into the lighting & cinematography, the Weyland-Yutani stuff, the connections to past films, and that slam-bang of an ending with "that thing."

30 JUL 2024 · Two conclusions on the rewatch: 1) it's still extremely difficult to view this film, and 2) it's hard to finish this film and NOT think there's a strong argument to call this the greatest movie of all time. From the way Spielberg brings the harrowing D-Day invasion to life, to the beautiful tiny moments of humanity sprinkled around the film, the Chumps dissect the greatness that is Saving Private Ryan.

24 JUN 2024 · Corrye put it best: they just don't make 'em like this anymore. The film may be known as Brad Pitt's true coming out party, but Legends of the Fall is a bonafide banger. Edward Zwick makes his second all-timer (after Glory), as he introduces us to the Ludlow family in Montana. The Chumps go on the warpath with Tristan, pointing out the beautiful shots to the lovable One Stab to the frustrating but tragic Susannah. PLUS: Our first reactions to Season 2 of House of the Dragon!

3 JUN 2024 · Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga rips and roars through the entire 148 minutes. As Corrye and Luke explain, the longest of the Mad Max films features plenty to love: Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth chewing up scenes; George Miller concocting another riveting yarn through unparallelled editing; and new characters to enjoy including Praetorian Jack and Furiosa's mom. The Chumps also tip their cap to explorations of this ragged wasteland, from the Green Place to Bullet Farm to Gas Town to a return to The Citadel.Â

21 APR 2024 · The biting satire still holds up! Luke and Corrye pick through Paul Verhoeven's message-laden dystopian action flim from 1987 - a film that comes up smelling like roses in terms of the casting, and its rogue's gallery of villains. The Chumps marvel at the special effects as well as the core memory scenes that are as devastating today as they were when the fellas first say this in the late 80s (that acid scene!). PLUS: Luke tickles Corrye with an OJ Simpson-inspired 5 Questions in light of the notorious Buffalo Bills legend's death. AND: major developments regarding upcoming films from Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorcese.Â

17 MAR 2024 · A rollicking good time! John Carpenter delivers an absurd cult classic, with help from super trucker Jack Burton! Cory Kesselring joins Luke and Corrye to discuss the fight choreography, the location of Little China, and the downside of the often forgotten prelude. Among the other hot topics: the three Rayden villains and their comically-huge hats; the imitation Kurt Russell is doing throughout the entire film; the warm blanket that is Egg Shen (Victor Wong); and the consistenly punchable Lo Pan. PLUS: The Chumps bid farewell...sort of.

10 MAR 2024 · Not many had Zac Efron crushing this role on their 2023 Bingo card, but here we are. A24 pumps out another banger, this time, the tragic tale of the Von Erich family. Luke and Corrye welcome friend of the pod Cory K back to the podcast to discuss the Von Erich curse; how realistic the wrestling depictions are; the haunting images from Sean Durkin; and the creative decisions to leave out elements of the real tale that would have added even more tragedy to the story. Plus: Corrye Cook drops his Oscar predictions before the big night!

3 MAR 2024 · Denis Villeneuve did it again. What a spectacle. A true 10 out of 10. Luke & Corrye return after a two-month hiatus to bring you a recap STRAIGHT OUT OF THE THEATER on Dune: Part Two.

30 DEC 2023 · "A thoroughly refreshing glass of water." Those words from esteemed co-host Corrye, as the Chumps visit Barton Academy - an island of grief for three of our favorite characters of the movie year. A crowd-pleaser with heart, Paul Giamatti, newcomer Dominic Sessa, and rising star Da'Vine Joy Randolph are the best 1-2-3 punch since Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett. Sticking with this Celtics analogy, director Alexander Payne gets to be Rajon Rando - stringing together an ambience that's surely destined to be a powerhouse come Oscar night.
