  • S3E8 A Christmas Carol: Book VS The Jim Carrey Film (2009)
    Dec 16 2025

    Merry Christmas!

    Which version of A Christmas Carol is the best? In this yuletide episode Eric and Romi spread some Christmas cheer with an in-depth look at Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and the 2009 film starring Jim Carrey, and directed by Robert Zemeckis.

    Who knew that Christmas stories could be so scary? For that matter this movie adaptation that used state of the art "motion capture" technology perhaps unnerved people more than spread joy. This adaptation was the nail in the coffin for such technology.

    Come along and discover Victorian England and the true meaning of Christmas.

  • S3E7 Sabrina Pt2: The 1995 Version
    Dec 1 2025

    A girl falls in love with a boy who doesn't know that she exists until she becomes beautiful, and now he is ready to ruin his engagement and his family business to have her. To stop this his brother attempts to seduce the girl but ends up seduced himself...Sounds comlpicated? Not really...Fun? Definitely.

    When director Sydney Pollack re-made the classic film Sabrina for a 90s audience it did not do well at all, but it has maintained a type of cult classic following. This film is much longer than the original, and even though the plot stays the same, does this remake "fix" some of the problems of the original film?

  • S3E6 Sabrina Pt1: The 1954 Version
    Nov 8 2025

    A girl falls in love with a boy who doesn't know that she exists until she becomes beautiful, and now he is ready to ruin his engagement and his family business to have her. To stop this his brother attempts to seduce the girl but ends up seduced himself...Sounds comlpicated? Not really...Fun? Definitely.

    Sabrina from the 1950s has stood the test of time but did you know that the making of it was far more complicated than it appears? This classic film has enthralled audiences and Audrey Hepburn fans for decades but what makes it so great? Does it actually still hold up. In preperation of discussing the 1990s remake Eric and Romi look behind the scenes at the original film and all the craziness and romance therein.
