It’s the most wonderful time of the year for the Korman siblings: Mother’s Day. The official mom of Friday Night Movie joins her kids to recount how each of them was born (with lots of details). Then the sibs reflect on the times their own children were born, of course, with the hilarious perspective of their mother. From there, we keep the theme going with a review of movie birthing scenes, from Look Who’s Talking to Knocked Up, with a stop along the way to unpack whatever it was that was happening with the Twilight vampire baby.  There's also a whole bunch of shoutouts and recs, including Godzilla vs. Kong, Promising Young Women, Wipeout (TBS - Nicole Byer, John Cena), I’m Sorry (Netflix - Andrea Savage, Tom Everett Scott, Jason Mantzoukas), Rumble: the Indians Who Rocked the World (Amazon Prime), Awkwafina is Nora from Queens (HBO Max), Machete Kills, and Insomnia.

This week, on Friday Night Movie: the sibs begin a new annual Passover tradition - the Ten Commandments of Friday Night Movie. This year the commandments are all about streaming services - stick around for another year to hear the new commandments will be for 2022! We don’t want to give away too much, but Lily needs to get more obscure and niche, Becky needs to get more to the point with the plot, and Shai needs to put less faith in Netflix’s rankings! Listen in for the full commandments, and of course, shoutouts and recs.  Shoutouts this week to Matt Siderio (Fandoms, Unite! Club on Clubhouse) for his rec of Superman and Lois on the CW. And a shoutout to Emily for being Shai’s AEW-watching buddy.  We now have a Friday Night Movie club on Clubhouse!

This week on Friday Night Movie! We dive right into the newest from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Falcon and the Winter Soldier: the sibs make predictions, and Lily, generally, wants to know what’s happening here. Continuing in the superhero streamfest, we dive into the Snyder Cut - the 2021 director’s cut of the 2017 film Justice League. Lily and Becky, despite never having seen it, weigh in with their detailed thoughts, while Shai provides somewhat of a more informed opinion.  Shoutouts this week to the hilarious short film - the Hit (starring Hilary Barraford and written and directed by Jason A. White). And a shoutout to our good buddies at the Take Too Podcast. We now have a Friday Night Movie club on Clubhouse!

This week, on Friday Night Movie! It’s the most wonderful time of the year: awards season. Oscar noms came out this week, and we have some opinions. Becky is more than a little bit pumped for Crip Camp, and Shai is over the moon for Soul. In between now and the Oscars, the sibs are looking forward to watching all of the amazing movies they missed while they were watching movies like Boss Level (which they review in this ep). Top of our list to check out soon - Judas and the Black Messiah, Minari, and One Night in Miami. Tune in for shoutouts and recs, and what’s missing from the Oscar noms, in our own humble opinion.

This week was a fantastical one at Friday Night Movie: Steve Kostanski, the director of Shai’s current horror-comedy obsession, PG Psycho Goreman, joined the sibs for an interview! Steve talked about the magic of practical special effects, his chemistry with frequent collaborator Adam Brooks and the Astron 6 crew, and the importance of PG having a soundtrack that ROCKED as hard as Queen. Then they did a classic compare-a-thon of horror movie masters, and some buy/rent/meh (with He-Man, NInja Turtles, and Thundercats). The PG Psycho Goreman Blu Ray drops on March 16 and you can pre-order it here: https://www.amazon.com/Brooks-Alexis-Hancey-Nita-Josee-Hanna/dp/B08Q9VZRDV  Special shoutout this week to the And So I Stayed crowd-funding campaign. Help this support this powerful project about survivors of abuse. Also, a shoutout also goes to Antonia Carlotta and her Universally Me YouTube page about the history of Hollywood. Antonia’s Phantom of the Opera history video is excellent! The Friday Night Movie Fami

This week on Friday Night Movie: all 3 sibs are back for the first time in a couple of weeks and the usual chaos ensues. Becky and Shai are officially next door neighbors - the Korman presence in Arlington has doubled. This episode’s feature film review is the new release Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar, starring Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig, respectively, as the title characters. Many questions were raised by the sibs - important queries such as, “was the pitch to this movie  suitcase packing?”, “is this Austin Powers?!", "Are Jamie Dornan and Sam Heughan REALLY different people?" Tune in to find out the answers and more. Plus the discuss A Stupid and Futile Gesture (Netflix), Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Head of the Class, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  The Friday Night Movie Family supports the following organizations: NAACP Legal Defense Fund | Equal Justice Initiative.

This week, on Friday Night Movie: Becky is AWOL (Away WITH Ordered Leave) while she moves cross-country, so Lily and Shai call in reinforcements in the shape of Actor, Model, Coach, and Clubhouse Queen, Jenny Anne Hochberg! Jenny has appeared on Parks and Recreation, Law and Order: SVU, and House of Cards: and in this episode, we hear her Buy/Rent/Meh TGIF shows, and rope her into a compare-a-thon of 90s heartthrobs (any guesses as to who won)? Looking to the future, the sibs and Jenny (an honorary sib) speculate what their kids will be nostalgic for.

This week on Friday Night Movie: It’s the Superbowl, and the sibs were READY for the commercials - and some football too, or whatever. Special guest, and advertising maestro, Bobby Buttons, returned to help the sibs process their reactions. Social justice themed ads fell flat - as Lily put it, “I couldn’t tell if they were altruistic or like, Kendall Jenner handing out Pepsi at a protest”. And they’re definitely not buying DoorDash or UberEats talking about eating local (Becky was greatly offended by them dragging Sesame Street into this mess). Lily is embarrassed for Cheetos, Becky’s reaction can be best described as “it was so bad it’s meh”, and Shai was excited for Will Ferrell’s GM ad. Later in the episode, the sibs unpacked what they’ve been streaming, from season 2 of The Code and the Price is Right to Greta Gerwig’s Little Women and Crazy-Ex Girlfriend (shoutout to Robin Coomer for the rec!), but let’s be real - it was Superbowl Sunday, and this one is all about the ads! All that and the episode kicks

This week, on Friday Night Movie: Shai went skiing, Becky is moving (The confusion! The chaos! The clutter!), and Lily’s kids are, well, generally confused about seasons. This is all before the movie starts playing, folks. The sibs dive into Christopher Nolan’s highly controversial (and yes, confusing, that’s a theme here at FNM today) movie Tenet. Shai somehow manages to explain the entire movie in just two minutes (whether it was comprehensive is debatable). And speaking of debates, a lively one ensues over whether it’s an overdone vanity piece, or the underrated soon-to-be cult classic of the new decade.

This week on Friday Night Movie: Becky’s moving cross-country with two babies in the middle of a pandemic - it is long, it is painful, and she is watching cartoons. And Lily asks, “When do you watch these shows? When you’re asleep?” To which Shai reply’s, “Yes, actually.” The it’s non-stop shoutouts and recs, including: Psych, Night Stalker (Netflix), the Code (Netflix), Go Dog Go (not GO Dogs Go), Blow Away (a show about glassblowing on Netflix), Rise of the Guardians, PG: Psycho Goreman, Festpocalypse (SF Sketchfest, Janet Varney, Stevie Jackson, Gabe Diani, Etta Devine), Blush (starring Wendi Mclendon-Covery on Amazon Prime), and Braking for Whales (Amazon Prime).  The Friday Night Movie Family supports the following organizations: NAACP Legal Defense Fund | Equal Justice Initiative.

Becky's moving and the sibs take every opportunity to make fun of her situation. Lily hosts this ep and takes the gang through a some Buy/Rent/Meh and a Compare-a-thon about the greatest road trip movies of all time.  Also, some greats shouts and recs, including much love for Gabe Diani's amazing Mark Twain ASMR sketch, a 90s-tastic round of applause for Jenny Anne Hochberg, and the continuing saga of inviting Dana DeLorenzo (Ash vs. Evil Dead, Perpetual Grace, LTD) to be a guess on the podcast.  The Friday Night Movie Family supports the following organizations: NAACP Legal Defense Fund | Equal Justice Initiative.

What makes a great script? What are some of the greatest scripts of all time? How do great scripts turn into messes on the screen? Screenwriter and all around mysterious dude, Dave Scharf, joins the pod to talk about the art of crafting screenplays. We talk Jaws, Do the Right Thing, Blackkklansman, Memento, the Dark Knight, Casablanca, Chinatown, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Usual Suspects, Groundhog Day, Dr. Strangelove, Annie Hall, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Chronicle, and more!  There’s lots of recs, shoutouts, and stories in this ep too, including Shai recounting getting a chance to meet (virtually) the great Dana DeLorenzo (Ash Vs. Evil Dead, Perpetual Grace, LTD) and Lily admitting she dropped a propane tank on her foot. We also go big on Jackie Tohn in our recs giving all of our love to the Best Leftovers Ever (Netflix) and her upcoming show (co-created with Dave’s brother Michael Scharf) Do, Re & Mi (Amazon).  Check out MD1, a medical non-profit that brings physicians to scenes of emer
