Russ and Jared are back with a romantic comedy this week, The Perfect Man (2005)! Starring Heather Locklear, Hilary Duff, and Ben Feldman, this film is sure to be The Perfect Movie. It’s a tale as old as time: mother moves her daughters every time she has a bad breakup, daughter decides to create a fake perfect boyfriend, and hijinks ensue.
When we last left Russ and Jared, they were just about to start figuring out how the aliens work. Hint: it’s exactly as electric and arbitrary as you assumed. The movie still hasn’t told anyone what the female characters’ names are, the greasy entrepreneurs are questioning whether they’re the lone survivors, and shenanigans are about to ensue.
Russ and Jared are back with another sci-fi action film, The Darkest Hour (2011)! This one stars ITMT fave, Emile Hirsch, alongside Max Minghella, Olivia Thirlby, and Rachael Taylor. What would you do if you were at a Moscow nightclub with your business partner, chatting up some fellow Americans, when out of nowhere, electric aliens attack and massacre everyone around you?
ITMT favorite, Emile Hirsch, is back in this week’s Trailer Trash for The Darkest Hour (2011)! Also starring Max Minghella, Olivia Thirlby, and Rachael Taylor, this flick promises bad accents, electric aliens, and Russian nightclubs. What more could Russ and Jared ask for? The guys also have some tips in Fan Service from friend of the pod, Emily, for how you too can win more radio contests.
Russ and Jared are back with part 2! When we left the fellas, it seemed like the movie was just finally going to start getting interesting, with our hero (Alain Moussi) in the interrogation room getting interrogated. But it doesn’t get a whole lot better from here. Will Tony Jaa and Frank Grillo save the day in Jiu Jitsu (2020)? Will Nicolas Cage and Alain Moussi somehow become more relevant?
Nic Cage is back! Russ and Jared are doing their scene-by-scene breakdown of his latest straight-to-streaming flick, Jiu Jitsu (2020). On paper, this movie seems like it should be great. It’s got Nicolas Cage. It’s got aliens. It’s got martial arts (and Tony Jaa and Frank Grillo). It’s pretty much non-stop action. And yet… this is one of the most unwatchable movies the guys have covered so far.
Russ and Jared are back, covering far from the worst thing to happen last year, a straight-to-streaming film, Jiu Jitsu (2020). ITMT alum and fan favorite, Nicolas Cage, is back! Watch along with the guys as they dive into the trailer filled with soldiers, aliens, and martial arts. What could possibly go wrong? Can Tony Jaa, Marie Avgeropoulos, and Frank Grillo save this one?
Russ and Jared are back with their friends, Thaís and Brady from Worth Watching Once, to finish The Open House (2018). Halfway through, it’s thankfully time for this movie to accelerate and get to “the good part.” Time means nothing to Dylan Minnette (13 Reasons Why) and his mom, Piercey Dalton, and we all know content doesn’t sleep. Find out how it all ends in part 2!
Another special episodes with our friends from Worth Watching Once! The gang is diving into the scene-by-scene breakdown (ITMT-style) of The Open House (2018). Dylan Minnette, and his mom, Piercey Dalton, find themselves threatened by mysterious forces when they move into a new house. Except the house isn’t theirs, the forces aren’t that mysterious, and all the characters are pretty annoying.
