Pubcast

Pubcast 83: Predator

Brendan O'Neill is joined by Allison and Eric to break down what might be Arnold Schwarzenegger's most iconic movie outside of the Terminator films: 1987s Predator. It's cheesy and over-the-top and features a classic monster/villain.

Pubcast 82: Clue

Brendan O'Neill is joined by Allison and Eric to break down the first(?) movie - or at least the funniest movie - based on a board game: Clue. This 1985 cult classic delivers great comedic performances with a gag-per-minute ratio to rival any comedy of the past 40 years.

Pubcast 81: Tommy Boy

Allison, Rob and Ed join me to break down this 1990s classic starring Chris Farley and David Spade.
This movie holds a special place for us, as we all went to Marquette University, as did Chris Farley…and the character Tommy Callahan even graduates from Marquette in the beginning of the movie.
This movie, like a lot of the SNL movies, runs high on the jokes-per-minute scale, and this is arguably the funniest of all the Saturday Night Live movies.
It’s extremely quotable and rewatchable, and really feels like a timeless comedy.

Pubcast 80: The Princess Bride

Brendan O'Neill is joined by Allison and Eric to break down the 1987 fairy tale, The Princess Bride. A timeless classic, this comedy is accessible and fun and quotable and memorable, thanks to director Rob Reiner and stars Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant and Wallace Shawn.

Pubcast 79: The Matrix

Brendan O'Neill is joined by Allison and Eric to break down the most influential movie of the last 25 years: The Matrix. This 1999 sci-fi, cyberpunk classic introduced us to a new way of visual story telling, new special effects and new fight scene choreography. 

Pubcast 78: The Big Lebowski

Allison, Rob and Patrick join Brendan O'Neill to break down the Coen brothers' 1998 masterpiece, The Big Lebowski. The characters - flawless. The dialogue - perfection. The performances - unforgettable. No mater how you slice it, this is a GREAT movie...despite the underwhelming box office performance. The Dude abides.

Pubcast 77: Rushmore

Brendan O'Neill is joined by Allison, Eric and Jill to break down the Wes Anderson classic, Rushmore. Arguably his best movie and certainly his most accessible film, Rushmore solidifies Anderson's signature style, where every frame is centered and symmetrical, and the movie feels almost vintage as he leans into heightened nostalgia.

Pubcast 76: ‘No Time to Die‘ Review

Allison and Eric join Brendan O'Neill for an emergency episode of the Pubcast. It's Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond, and we've been waiting out a two-year delay for No Time to Die. Well, it's here, so we share our expectations right before we see this movie, and our reactions immediately afterward. Does No Time to Die hold up to the likes of Casino Royale and Skyfall? Listen to find out.

Pubcast 75: Stripes

Allison and Eric join Brendan O'Neill as we welcome Patrick Keane to the Pubcast for the first time. Stripes remains a beloved 1980s comedy, and features Bill Murray continuing his brand of smart-ass characters previously seen on Saturday Night Live, Meatballs and, to some extent, in Caddyshack. Stripes is one of the most quotable movies from a very quotable decade, and introduced many of us to the genius of John Candy.

Pubcast 74: The Money Pit

Allison, Eric, Rob and Rachel join Brendan O'Neill for our most contentious episode ever, as we break down The Money Pit. Tom Hanks is arguably at his comedic best (with all respect due to his smash hit Big), and Shelley Long used this movie as the springboard to leave her hit sitcom, Cheers. Like it, love it, or dare I say, hate it, The Money Pit has maybe the most memorable on-screen laugh in movie history.
