Poperation!

POPeration Season 2 - Back in  the Scrubs Teaser! Season 2 drops March 1, 2018

It was 20 years ago this week that Hollywood started seeing the future in a little movie called Wag The Dog. After being caught in a scandal, the president does not have much of a chance of being re-elected. A Hollywood producer is hired to manufacture a war that the president can heroically end. Eric and Stacey take a deep dive into a movie that eerily mirrors today's political climate: political sex scandals, fake news and controlling the narrative to create a distraction in a wonderfully written script by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet. If you haven't seen this movie, or even if you have, we recommend you see it again after listening to this podcast.

Carolers caroling... Fireplace popping...Nutmeg swimming in a pool of eggnog. All that's missing is the perfect holiday movie. What's your Christmas movie crack? Listen as Eric and Stacey talk about the Christmas movies they absolutely love and the one movie that they loathe, actually.

One of the more complex relationship to understand, the Brother/Brother relationship runs the gamut, dealing with rivalry, jealousy and honor. Eric and Stacey talk about five movies that deal with the brother to brother bond as a thread throughout. Whether you have a brother (or four) or are an only child, these movies will give you a look inside that particular sibling relationship, and why it fascinates us.

Ah, James Cameron's baby is turning 20. Eric and Stacey gives Mr. Cameron the BEST gift ever: a full POPeration! dissection. From casting to plot and special effects, we take a deep look dive into what was the highest grossing movie of its time. There's blood in the water, but is it Jack's, or is it the stupid ol' lady who threw a million dollar necklace into the ocean?

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Time to celebrate the best of the holiday season. Holiday music, that is. Come listen as Stacey and Eric put together their holiday music playlist for 2017.

Ah, Thanksgiving! It's that time of year that marks that you're only a month away from Christmas. But that's not all. It's also a time to talk about what we're thankful for. Stacey and Eric talk about three movies that center around travel and the Thanksgiving holiday, and discuss that, even though it's a time for friends and family, it's not all wine and roses. Right before their final diagnosis, Eric and Stacey talk about a TV show that plays like a mini-movie, which we're hoping will become one of your holiday classics.

She's not just another pretty face, she's Academy Award Winner ®© Halle Berry.

From Daytime TV to Oscar worthy performances, Halle Berry is absolutely one of the brightest stars in Hollywood!

With everything in the news regarding "Me Too", Eric and Stacey are taking a break this week to showcase one of our earliest podcasts in which they talk about how women are not treated as fairly in the entertainment industry.

Once more, with feeling! Stacey and Eric dive into the Hollywood goldmine that is the movie remake. Whether it's a straight shot for shot redo, a brand new take on a well known story or just because the director thought a better movie could be made, the remake is a Hollywood device used to get a story out to a whole new audience. SPOILER: Eric and Stacey DEFINITELY have strong opinions on this subject.
