  • Minisode: "The Summer Movie Report With Marian"
    Sep 1 2025

    Agnew is joined by his daughter, Marian, to guess each other's Top Picks for movies they saw in the theater this summer, from new releases to repertory favorites. Did we both like Superman? How high does Kpop Demon Hunters rank on our lists? We also make a couple predictions about what are sure to be two of the biggest movies of the holiday season - Wicked For Good and Avatar: Fire and Ash.

  • Season 2 Finale - The Hot Fuzz Birthday-Adjacent Commentary
    Aug 19 2025

    The Brendans mark the anniversary of Foley's birth and the finale of yet another season of "Make Me Watch It" with a feature-length commentary on the next film of the Cornetto Trilogy - 2007's Hot Fuzz. They also do a lightning round of stuff they've watched, from this year's The Naked Gun reboot to the re-release of 2009's The Boy and the Beast and a few other sweet treats in between.

    (If you want to skip straight to commentary, it starts at 14:03.)

  • Episode 49: "Somehow, Payakan Returned" - Happy Gilmore 2 / The Fantastic Four: First Steps
    Jul 29 2025

    The Brendans say "Excelsior!" as we blast off to wax poetic about how much we still love James Gunn's Superman (we don't have a problem, you have a problem) and the impressive merits of Marvel's First Family in their first MCU outing. We also talk previous Fantastic Four incarnations (they're bad), exciting new trailers (they're good), and Foley goes on a rant on the absolutely unhinged Happy Gilmore 2 (it's complicated).
