Join Emily and Neil as they catch up on their lives over the past six months. They discuss both of their recent and upcoming graduations, an engagement, and their reading habits. They also announce that the next movie they will be discussing is Cloverfield, a found footage monster movie. Excitement and curiosity abound and they toss around exploring topics such as giant monsters, the square cube law, and megafauna.
-
In this conversation, Neil and Emily discuss Neil's car troubles and upcoming vacation plans. They also review a movie but who really cares about that? They dive deep into the major plot points and themes of the top of the bellcurve - that's a movie - movie '2067'. They touch on the time travel element, the concept of fate, and the implications of changing the past. They also critique the scripting and plot execution of the film. Overall, they rate the science in the movie as a 2.5 out of 5 and the film itself as a 2.25 out of 5.

Join Emily and Neil as we finish out the early 2000s classic Saturday-afternoon-with-the-family-movie Spy Kids! We kept it a little on the shorter side this time, but we don't spare the details of the film in the recap. Honestly though, what a good movie.

Join Emily and Neil as we cover an absolute banger from the early 2000s. Its got good actors, its got good plot, its got good gadgets! Its got good.... thumbs? That's right it's Spy Kids. Emily breaks it down from the actors side of things, and Neil goes way too deep on the science corner. Again.
