QTB has moved to LA! To honor the occasion Nick and Jared draft their 5 favorite LA movies. 

Here's the thing...We haven't recorded in a while so this time we thought "f*** it we'll do it live!" From now on we will be live streaming the recording of each episode on twitch.tv/queuethebanter...

THE MOVIES ARE BACK! and so are we.

Nick and Jared invite best friend of the show Sara Wasylyk to discuss the Oscar nominations after a crazy year for cinema. 

Nick and Jared return from hibernation to talk about the recent insanity of the Golden Globe nominations. 

For their 50th episode Nick and Jared discuss Warner Brothers, Chris Nolan, their views on film criticism, and some of the things they've learned while recording Queue The Banter. 

Nick and Jared invite Nicole Kasprzyk on to discuss James Wan's The Conjuring. A wonderful little movie that features all of our favorite things: Patty Wills, Vera Farmiga, a spooky doll and a demonic spirit trying to kill everyone. 

We asked friend and guest Sara Wasylyk to write the description for this episode. Here is what she came up with via text. "I feel like you should capitalize on women and how we have the vote and this movie reinforces that importance" Which was followed up with "WOMEN? Thats it just women" *Sound engineering by Adam

Nick and Jared discuss Halloween III: Season of the Witch, a movie where they said "Hey lets ditch that guy Michael Myers!". Also it seems they ditched the witches as well? More like Season of the rocks from Stonehenge!

Nick and Jared are back to plan out their Spooky Season mini series. 

On this week’s Queue the Banter, Nick and Jared invite guest, Abby Sullivan to talk James Gunn penned, Scooby Doo. Abby brought her own intern, power point presentations, and an explanation into why we need the Twilight movies now more than ever. This episode is a one way trip to Spooky Island.  Ruh Roh Raggy. Some Disclaimers: This episode was recorded before the passing of Scooby Do co-creator, Joe Ruby. RIP to legend. At the end of the episode, we mention covering Marvel’s Black Panther down the line. This discussion took place before the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman. Below is our statement regarding Boseman’s impact on film, via Jared’s twitter account: “We must never forget Chadwick Boseman’s impact on cinema and his role as an inspiration to black people across the globe, both young and old. He brought heroes to life on screen, and was heroic off of it.” - @jmrayment Queue the Banter is an ilto 8 production (@ilto8podcasts)

Nick and Jared (The Brave Little Toaster) get back into their Quarantine the Banter mini-series with David Fincher’s 2007 True Crime film, Zodiac. With special guests, Adriana and Robyn of the Splice and Slice podcast (@spliceandslice), they get into all things Zodiac Killer. But should they have talked about the infamous killer so publicly? Because it seems that Ted Cruz, er, the Zodiac knows where they live. And he’s sent them multiple letters. Boy, oh boy. Do we have a podcast for you. From Ilto8 Productions. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@queuethebanter | @ilto8podcasts) and be sure to check out ‘Splice and Slice’ if you like movies about MURDER!

Nick suggested to Jared that they record an episode outdoors, Jared suggested that the outdoor episode be about Westerns. Both were wonderful suggestions so please sit back and enjoy some banter about an under appreciated film genre, the Western. 

Nick and Jared sit down to discuss Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever. Whatever you may think of Joel, and his Batman, everyone remembers where they were when the Batsuit got nipples. 

We came to the conclusion that now wasn't the time for us to give you a list of movies to add to your queue, it was a time for us to listen. We invited guest Abbas Lucas on to give us his perspective on movies he thinks are important to watch to familiarize yourself with the black experience in America.  Here is a link of all the films Abbas suggested Here is a link of Ways to Donate in Support of Black Lives and Communities of Color

We invited second time guest Todd Angeles on to talk about The Room and The Disaster Artist. We were left with one question...Who is the modern day John Stockton? 

Nick and Jared give an update on how things are going during the quarantine. 

Nick and Jared invite 2nd time guest Adam Vanore on to talk La La Land. Yes there is a singing, and no it is not very good singing, but the commentary makes it all worth it.  Who knows...I felt it from the first podcast I shared with youuuuuuu

Nick and Jared invite Sara Wasylyk aka Snow on to talk about Call Me By Your Name, a film that she has been dying to talk about since we started the podcast. Sit back, grab a peach, and enjoy from the comfort of your Italian home's dusty attic.  Make sure to follow us on twitter: @queuethebanter @nick_rayment @jmrayment @snowbabyfresh
