Operator Boss Logan

In this episode we are troubled by Alec Baldwin as the voice of a suit-wearing Boss Baby, think Mae Whitman is going to make an interesting Operator, are excited to find a father in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and are sad to see the end of Logan.

Things mentioned:

• OK, Gillian got a little confused in her excitement. There is no stand-alone Lando movie. YET. You know how Disney love to world build.
• In case you are unfamiliar with Donald Glover, here are some wonderful moments from Community.

• Colin Firth has been cast in Mary Poppins as president of the Fidelity Fiduciary Bank. Seems like stellar casting but that means no chance someone will double as the president and kids will get to see this:

• Do we need to see a Willy Wonka prequel?
• J-Law has been cast as Zelda Fitzgerald despite the fact that Allison Pill has it nailed down

• Jessica Jones season 2 will have all female directors. Yes!

Movie trailers

Joyful Oscar hopefuls

At least, that’s what we think these movies are. Three in particular.

These are the movies with the stellar casts, dramatic story lines and strategic release dates that make them contenders for the Academy Awards. Some are just blatantly gunning for it.

So, in this episode we watch some heavy breathing and intense acting in The Revenant, get excited about mops(?) in Joy, are sad while watching Freeheld and watch Christoph Waltz come full circle as the role he was born to play – a Bond Villain – in Spectre.

Things mentioned in this episode:

• This some of the drama in filming The Revenant. Hey, maybe it will be worth crew members getting fired and naked people challenges.
• Here is the story behind the movie Joy. Is this Oscar worthy? Is this even movie worthy?  Also forget mops, let’s be thankful that Joy Mangano invented HUGGABLE HANGERS!
• And here’s the story of Laurel Anne Hester, a main character in Freeheld. Obvs SPOILERS. Kinda wish I had not read it.
• Here is the full cast for Spectre. Gillian’s apologies for not remembering the names of Naomie Harris, Lea Seydoux and Ben Whishaw.

Horrible perfume ad episode

Hello,

There’s something for everything in this episode: political commentary, unions, gay pride, Charlie Day, J. Law — everything.

In this episode we take a look at Jon Stewart’s directorial debut in Rosewater, try to decipher the perfume fever-dream that is Serena, will laugh at anything Charlie Day screams at in Horrible Bosses 2, and are pleasantly pleased with Pride.

Here are things we discussed in this episode:

• Jon Steward released a longer clip from Rosewater, kinda explaining the role his show had in the kidnapping.

• This article describes it even better
• Wow. This is the synopsis for Serena. I guess Jaclyn was right, J. Law be crazy
• Get your union/gay history on. Learn more behind the movie Pride
• Remember when Charlie Day gave a great commencement speech? Here it is again:
