Brunch Movies

Wouldn't be Brunch Movies epic season without at least one epic delay! So here it is nearly 3 and a half months in the making: the season 4 finale. The brunch boys take a look at the Brunch Menu and see if any new favourite make the exclusive club. We dole out some awards in this years' Brunchies. And of course, we take a look at our declining listener numbers (which surely is due to the Joe Rogan Spotify boycott). With babies on the way this might be the last you hear from us for a while (or will it be?).

Its that gay old time of year (Christmas) and we're talking about being happy. Happy Christmas, as the brits say. This is the Christmas movie that wasn't but became a Christmas movie because PBS was too poor to play any films whose intellectual property hadn't become public domain. Come get your wings by ringing the Brunch Bell or jingle bells if you have 'em.

The elemental and epic season comes to a close and we welcome editor Jack aka Jedi to help us out. We revisit M. Knight Shyamalan's un-classic Avatar; based on a children's cartoon...brought to life as a child's nightmare. Will Aang master the elements? When will the Jungle season premier?

We made it to the final episode of the epic season, filled with movies of epic length (Lawrence of Arabia), epic scale (Lord of the Rings), epic romance (Titanic) and epic stupidity (The Snyder Cut). We thought we had fully explored all the elements (say em with me...) but we had forgot to ponder the absence of all elements: the Space Element.

This is Scorcese's finest film, the epic mafia movie that started it all! Is the the podcast episode you can't refuse to listen to? Don't wait for a horse head to be delivered to your bed to find out.

Journey down the amazon river with the brunch boys, as we get political while discussing Werner Herzog's masterpiece Aguirre.

Worse than Justice League: The Snyder Cut better than the actual events of 9/11 a movie no one asked for and no one enjoyed. The brunch boys get loose as we talk through the ups and down of WW2, some conspiracies and the origins of Ska!

Its Dune the biggest movie of the year, and maybe the greatest sand film of all time? Well we don't go that far, but file this under the sand element you Avatar heads (the air-bending one). I like my brunch with a bit of spice, and a body shield. The slow blade may pierce, but you'll want to hurry to your record players to hear the Brunch Boys break down this film!

When we say we're back, we're actually back. The epic season continues with a maybe not so epic movie...but we do master the element of Air and thus complete our Avatar training (the one with air bending).

Dave and Andy aka the Brunch Boys are back, and nothing could be scarier than that. Dragons! Fire! Matthew McConaughey! This is as halloweeny as we got. We missed you and we hope to be back for the rest of the year! But don't hold us to it.

Dave and Andy are confused over which is the real Avatar, and they take a break to watch Gravity. That is to say this episode is typically meandering. Does the most popular movie of all time equal brunchiness? Find out on this week's episode!

Kevin Costner does have gills in this one! Flop like a fish? Or flop like a Flintstone? We get into Pangaea and why no one ever talks about the Panthassic ocean.

The blacker the widow the sweeter the juice. The MCU is back baby, but Dave is high from getting dose 1 of the COVID vaccine so he's too busy for the podcast. Andy enlists his old pal Mike to talk about the lastest epic in the Avengers saga. Lots of bits and free flowing conversation, and we may mention the film a bit.

Greatest love story ever told or ship sinking slowly? And we're just talking about Dave and is Papa. James Cameron makes a billion and we watch it fall to the bottom of the ocean.

This was a movie that people wanted I guess? We're not sure if Batman was in it, but we are sure glad its over. Future Todd swings by to tell us the film was actually good and we have a real comic book expert Brandon aka Professor Xeeps!

In season 3 we complete the epic trilogy of doing that thing with the ring. We're kind of out of takes, so we dip into the Lore Drawer. Dave learns about the Ainur.

We are joined by special and returning guest Matt (@mattwaste) for his Tolkien expertise. Dave struggles to differentiate the Humans, Orcs, Elves and Urukhai while also referring to the whole affair as taking place in the Middle East. We admire various war cries from across the realm and ponder whether horses are actually good. But is meat back on the brunch menu? Find out as the epic season continues.

With Andy moving to Middle Earth, the brunch boys figure they should travel from one town (the shire) to another town (mordor) and log all their breakfasts, second breakfasts, elevenzies, dinners and suppers along the way. In examining the first in this classic Peter Jackson trilogy, Dave and Andy grapple with who's their perfect huMANoid, how easily canceled Tolkien is, and figure out where it ranks among fantasy epics and brunch movies

Enjoy an epic film Know the way of bushido Savour the brunch taste

The real boys of brunch are back from 40 days and 40 nights in the desert, only to find themselves back in the desert. But the good news is, we love the desert! We catch up with G-D, Ramses, Moses and Dathan (all you favourites from the Jewish Bible aka Torah). Is religion brunch? Or are our sinful ways of early morning boozing doom us to burn with the bushes?
