Paul And Corey Cross The Streams

This month's theme is Movie Musicals, and Paul has chosen a film close to his heart, A Hard Day's Night (1964). Obviously, the boys took some time off, and Paul speaks to current events and their support and solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. This Month's Theme: Movie Musicals This Episode's Focus: A Hard Day's Night (1964)

This month's theme is Fish Out of Water, and Corey chose a film, Doc Hollywood (1991), befitting today's special occasion: SCOTT JONES! Yes, the boys are joined by their co-host from the podcast, Quality Time with Family Ties. (All episodes available on Fanbase Press.) Home is where you find it in Doc Hollywood, and Scott's homecoming is just what the doctor ordered.

This month's theme is Fish Out of Water! Paul chose a childhood favorite, Coming to America (1988). From the height of Eddie Murphy's career, the film seems to have a bit more going on in the subtext than young Paul inferred. In this episode, the boys ask the big questions, like if not for Coming to America, would we even have The Master of Disguise? And is this even a fish out of water movie? This Month's Theme: Fish Out of Water This Episode's Focus: Coming to America (1988)

This month's theme is Subtitles! Any film not in English qualifies, and Corey has chosen the HOTTEST film to appear on PACCTS: Y Tu Mamá También (2001). Steamy, funny, smart, heart-rending. You'll come for all the sex, but you'll stay for the allegory of Mexican class politics. This episode was so much fun to record. This Month's Theme: Subtitles! This Episode's Focus: Y Tu Mamá También (2001)

This month's theme is Subtitles! Any film not in English qualifies, and Paul has chosen a doozy: The Seventh Seal (1957). Prescient af. Iconic. Seminal. Depressing (as Corey will attest) and, yet, life-affirming. A brilliant film and a great discussion. This Month's Theme: Subtitles! This Episode's Focus: The Seventh Seal (1957)

For this Wild Card Episode, the boys decided to look at two sitcoms where groups of people gather in one spot. Real aspirational art here, folks. This Month's Theme: Wild Card Episode This Episode's Focus: Cheers ("The Proposal") and Community ("Remedial Chaos Theory")

If ever there were a month’s theme that typified Paul and Corey Cross the Streams, it would be this month’s: Friend Flicks. This week, Paul and Corey discuss Thelma & Louise (1991). Yep, folks, just two guys talking about the omnipresent and insidious nature of the patriarchy! And as an added bonus, Corey gives five more shows and films to soothe your soul as we all self-isolate. This Month's Theme: Friend Flicks This Episode's Focus: Thelma & Louise (1991)

This week, Paul and Corey discuss the film that launched a thousand quippy action comedies, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). From auditioning with Paul Newman to the inescapability of globalization to the not-really-that-ambiguous polycule of Sundance-Etta-Butch, this episode has it all, folks! This Month's Theme: Friend Flicks This Episode's Focus: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

Happy New Year! New decade! New season of Paul and Corey! This week, the boys go after the white whale of podcasting topics – Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977). The film that launched a thousand other films and TV shows and toylines and theme parks and religions and…you know all this. What is there left to say about Star Wars? Well, you’ll just have to tune in to get the HOTTEST of Paul and Corey takes… This Month's Theme: New Year, "New" in the Title This Episode's Focus: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)

Happy New Year! New decade! New season of Paul and Corey! This week, the boys take a David Foster Wallace-esque examination of the postmodern cult-hit, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. An episode organized like a stunning series of fractals that ties together themes and topics from past episodes. One that ironically employs dizzying footnotes and endnotes. One that you'll pretend to have listened to in order to impress people you know! This Month's Theme: New Year, "New" in the Title This Episode's Focus: Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)

In this final month of the 2010s, Paul and Corey look back at this decade and that of the 1910s. Corey took us back to the future by way of the past with the nearly-silent film, The Artist (2011). A film lauded with awards. Packed with brilliant set pieces and performances by its stars. Paul teaches Corey about buying on margin! This Month's Theme: The '10s This Episode's Focus: The Artist (2011)

In this final month of the 2010s, Paul and Corey look back at this decade and that of the 1910s. First up, Paul did Corey a HUUUUUGE favor and picked a nice, charming, funny film... that's only 25 minutes long. Charlie Chaplin's The Immigrant is a two-reeler from the early days of his Tramp character. (And, it wouldn't be a Paul film if it didn't include a scene that the FBI used in its files to show that Chaplin was a subversive Communist sympathizer!) This Month's Theme: The '10s This Episode's Focus: The Immigrant (1917)

November! Leaves are changing colors. Leaves are falling. It's a time to think about the end of things, and when that gets to be too depressing, a time to think about the beginning (which Paul thinks is also depressing). We're talking NOSTALGIA, folks! With the film, Brooklyn (2015), Corey has taken us back to his roots. This may well be the most enjoyable episode of PACCTS yet... This Month's Theme: Nostalgia November This Episode's Focus: Brooklyn

November! Leaves are changing colors. Leaves are falling. It's a time to think about the end of things, and when that gets to be too depressing, a time to think about the beginning (which Paul thinks is also depressing). We're talking NOSTALGIA, folks! The Last Days of Disco (1998). And let me tell you, this episode has Paul and Corey really getting real.

Happy Halloween from Paul and Corey! For this wild card episode, the boys chose two of their favorite episodes of the Golden Age of television classic, The Twilight Zone: "Nothing in the Dark" and "Eye of the Beholder."

This Month's Theme: Wild Card Episode This Episode's Focus: The Twilight Zone's "Nothing in the Dark" and "Eye of the Beholder"

It's October! Spooky! Scary! S...cult...y! This month, Paul and Corey have a close encounter with the (arguably) worst film ever made, and Tim Burton's (arguably) best film he ever made. Ed Wood (1994) is incredibly acted, written, and directed, looks gorgeous, and it's filled with dreams and heart. Will that be enough to raise Paul and Corey's expectations from the dead? You'll have to listen to find out... This Month's Theme: Cult Films and Their Adjacence This Episode's Focus: Ed Wood (1994)

It's October! Spooky! Scary! S...cult...y! This month, Paul and Corey have a close encounter with the (arguably) worst film ever made, and Tim Burton's (arguably) best film he ever made. Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) is poorly acted, written, and directed, looks cheap, and yet it's filled with dreams and heart. Will that be enough to raise Paul and Corey's expectations from the dead? You'll have to listen to find out... This Month's Theme: Cult Films and Their Adjacence This Episode's Focus: Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)

This month, Paul and Corey are taking a moment - well, two - to think about other people. Biopics! The word no one pronounces correctly. In this episode, Corey chose Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002). The film is based on TV producer Chuck Barris' (The Dating Game; The Newlywed Game; The Gong Show) idiosyncratic "unauthorized autobiography." From its star-studded cast, to the CIA's involvement in overthrowing numerous governments, to Drew Barrymore's incredible "playing of opposites" during a key scene, this episode will have your heart flyin' up like a rocket ship / Down like a roller coaster / back like a loop the loop / and round like a merry-go-round! (Those a lyrics from the song "Pallisades Park" which Chuck Barris also wrote!) This Month's Theme: Biopics! This Episode's Focus: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)
