Fighting Over The Vcr

In our second episode on Earth:C19, we look at two funny movies with interesting situations for their main characters. Do you ever feel like you're living someone else's life? Ever feel like you're living the same day over and over again? Well you're in luck. This episode we talk about Tootsie and Groundhog Day; two films featuring a true legend, Bill Murray.

Who says dramas can't be funny and you can't laugh at a serious situation? Well, these two films mix up the drama with the stuff that hits your funny bone. Murder, love, incest and albinos are some of the hot topics in this episode as we talk about Foul Play and Soap Dish.

In the 90s, Gus Van Sant was one of the kings of independant film. His style and voice stood out amongst many and lead to some well known and oscar nominated titles. These two back to back works of GVS, To Die For and Good Will Hunting are the subjects of this episode.

Adventure awaits in so many great movies and this episode returns us to two great ones. We go to war with a dragon in Dragonslayer and in search of treasure in Romancing the Stone.

Justice is being served as we follow three women on different sides of the law. Thelma and Louise, two women running from the law after tragic events, and Clarice Starling, young and motivated FBI agent trying to catch a murderer, are the focus of this episode as we explore Thelma and Louise and Silence of the Lambs.

1985 was a great year for movies and in this episode we explore two comedy classics with Real Genius and Just One of the Guys. From college pranks to high school hi-jinx, these movies bring both the laughs and the raunch. Sit back, do your homework and enjoy.

For the next two hours, we cover the final three movies of the newly named Skywalker Saga. As Matthew's favorite movie series, he takes a passionate look at The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker while Nancy brings balance to the conversation about the ups and downs of the films and the fandom that has brought the good, the bad and the ugly to the surface. May the force be with you.

In our first annual Holiday Special we dive into two modern day Christmas Classics, A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Join our family as we talk about the Parkers and the Griswalds as these families celebrate the highs and lows of the holiday season. From lights to flag poles, this one is a heart warming good time. So curl up next to the fire, pour yourself some egg nog, and listen. Merry Christmas!

We've hit the quarter century mark with two early 80's classics, Cloak & Dagger and 9 to 5. From espionage to corporate politics, these movies make you laugh and cry but also bring up important issues from grief to sexism.

We respect that you made many great movies in the 80s that we love to talk about. But we figured a discussion about a forgotten birthday, a Saturday detention and a juvenile delinquent cutting school would make the grade. In the simplest terms, we are movie fans who love Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, Fighting Over The VCR.

Do sports movies have to be just drama and the thrill of winning? This week the two movies we discuss prove the answer is no. The comedic genius of Blades of Glory and the rom-com Jerry Maguire put your hosts in bliss and at odds as this episode gets as heated as sports rivalries are built on. Listen to us live up to the name of the show. This episode is game on.

In the final installment of this years "spooktacular" October podcasts, the ladies take center stage as they flex their muscles and minds in these classic 70s frighteners. Listen as we discuss the sci-fi horror of Alien and the coming of age teen massacre Carrie.

In our second October ScareCast we have two films from three masters of horror. With more personal tales of terror and our usual (and unusual) opinions, we revisit Creepshow and the original Halloween.

It's October and that means it time for spooky stories that keep you up all night. So this month we will be diving into our childhood fears and what made us want to sleep next to our parents on the floor. In our first installment we revisit Poltergeist and A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Two groups of boys about the same age but decades apart go on separate adventures with a similar goal. They are looking for something, not just in the state of Oregon, but within themselves. In this episode of the pod we revisit two classics, The Goonies and Stand By Me.

It's an action packed episode of the pod as we discuss our special guest's movie picks Die Hard and cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. We explore the heroes Jack Burton and John McClain as they try and take down some big bads while sporting their classic white tank tops. It's all one liners and super charged debate in this blockbuster episode.

Life isn't a game but, in these movies, lives are in jeopardy as games get out of hand. From political warfare to personal battles, War Games and The Game are both fun, psychological and timeless.

While on vacation in beautiful Santa Cruz, CA, we decide to revisit one of our all time favorite vampire movies, The Lost Boys. Filmed in Santa Cruz, this 80s classic revamped the genre and changed how vampires were part of pop culture for the future. With another special guest in this episode, we "sink our teeth into" a movie that will live on forever.

Presented is stereo where available, this episode is another ode to music and movies as we dive into the relationship juggling of High Fidelity and the back stage experience of Almost Famous. Two movies hand picked by our guest and friend of FOTV.

Murder, blackmail, adultery and tuna. It's hard to believe this episode focuses on two 80's comedies from completely different points of view. Check out our reviews of Clue and Mr. Mom.
