Can't Get Enough of Keanu

For the third time, Josh is back together with Rosario Dawson and Alexis Bledel in a movie that can best be described as a watered-down, worse version of Contagion. There’s romance, drama, and a pandemic sweeping across the United States. In this episode we discuss whether it would be improved by the addition of a zombie rage virus. We also debate the hottest old man actors, whether we believe in the power of love, and consistently struggle to say Penn Badgeley’s name with a straight face.

This week: our boy Josh heads backward AND forward in time, to the bottom of the ocean and all the way to India, in a time travel adventure romance called The Lovers. The movie isn’t good, but hey, at least Josh met his now-wife Tamsin Egerton on set. Big P and the Brothers T also discuss which Powerpuff Girl each of us corresponds to, our upcoming boxing fight against the Paul brothers, Matt’s failed trip to India, and whether Jimmy Stewart sounds like a chicken...

Another episode, another movie 99% of our listener have never heard of! This week we’re discussing Stuck Between Stations, a sort of War on Terror-era Before Sunrise, in which Josh lends his star power to a project made by some of his high school friends. Since this movie is very short and not very good, we also spend a lot of time discussing what we did over the weekend, Jingle All the Way, Nancy Meyers’ The Intern, as well as make poor attempts at Michael Shannon impressions.

This week Josh Hartnett takes another big filmmaking risk with Girl Walks Into a Bar, the very first movie made exclusively for internet distribution. And in a special treat, friend of the podcast Justin Quizon (Benview on Spielberg) calls in to tell us about working on the set of this movie, as well as what it was like working with our boy Josh. Plus we discuss Josh’s love life, Harry Potter, the mechanics of hiring an assassin, and Jake sings Les Mis!

After a week away so Jake could go on his honeymoon, we’re back to talk about Josh Hartnett’s crazy fantastical stylized action movie, Bunraku, which definitely features the best trampoline fight in film history. It’s amazing that this move got made. Also: we recap Jake’s wedding, make a discovery about Josh’s social media accounts, and try to figure out how to talk like Woody Harrelson.

We’re now officially in the latter, less mainstream half of Josh Hartnett’s career, and this week we encounter the strangest movie he’s made yet: the Asian art house crime thriller I Come With the Rain. Patrick, Jake, and Matt dig deep into the movie and discuss everything from Josh’s detective skills to the origin of his current facial hair. Also discussed: Jake’s recent wedding, Patrick’s problems with Iñárritu, and which Hogwarts house we would each be sorted into.

The lyrics to our Josh Hartnett birthday song Happy birthday Happy birthday We want to wish Josh Hartnett a happy birthday Happy birthday to Josh Hartnett We’re watching your movies because we heart you So have a Happy Hartnett birthday! Also in this episode: what superhero should Josh play? Is Collateral Beauty the next Seven Pounds? How much do Matt and Jake love the film Labyrinth? Who is Truth Springsteen?

It’s the end of an era: this week we reach the end of the Hollywood portion of Josh Hartnett’s career, with the 2007 horror movie 30 Days of Night. It’s a movie that raises many questions, like: is cinematographer Jo Willems related to Patrick? What’s up with Jake’s tooth obsession? What’s our favorite kind of vampire lore? Also: we launch our campaign for Matt to die onscreen in the upcoming Dune film. #LetMattDieInDune

There have been a lot of bad movies covered on this podcast, so we’re thrilled to announce that this one…is actually pretty good. We’re talking about Resurrecting the Champ, the 2007 drama about boxing and journalism. Listen to the relief in our voices as we finally talk about a movie we enjoyed, as well as topics like Cronenberg’s Lord of the flies, Matt’s dream acting roles, why Josh isn’t in the new Halloween movie, the film Wanted, the lack of Xerxes, and most importantly…Josh’s upcoming

This week Patrick, Jake, and Matt are joined by actress Comfort Clinton (Billions), and together they deal with their frustration about Brian De Palma’s film adaptation of The Black Dahlia. They debate the quality of Hilary Swank’s performance, and explore topics like how a good book becomes a bad movie, whether or not De Palma hates goblins, and what it’s like to play a dead body on TV. Plus: Patrick’s Reading Corner!
