Can't Get Enough of Keanu

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.

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.

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!

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: 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...

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.

After several years making obscure indie movies few people have seen, Josh Hartnett returns to the mainstream. But this time…he’s on the small screen. This week we kick off our 3-episode run covering the prestige Showtime gothic horror series, Penny Dreadful. In this episode we spend a lot of time debating the evolution of “prestige TV,” as well as discussing Batman Day, the film Slugs, and the 2003 film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Penny Dreadful continues! This week Patrick (who is audibly sick) and the Brothers Torpey continue their quest through everyone’s favorite gothic horror drama in which Josh Hartnett plays a werewolf. It’s an eventful season, featuring witches, throat ripping, necrophelia, and some cozy sweaters. Plus: Patrick reads mean tweets about himself, we discuss why Josh isn’t in the new Halloween movie, and the Torpeys pitch their commercial for Mountain Dew: Code Red.

This week Andy Webb, the biggest Penny Dreadful fan we know, joins us to close out our coverage of the show. Does it stick the landing? Does our boy Josh continue to wolf out? These questions are answered among the many tangents such as our pitch for Matt’s cameo on the show Billions, our ideas for multiple Penny Dreadful spinoffs, and Patrick’s angry rant about the Bailey School Kids.

If you’ve never listened to this show before, do not start with this episode. This week, Matt is out of town, so Jake and Patrick take a break from their Josh Journey to reflect on the past year of the show. Somehow past guest Chris Decerbo convinced them to allow him back to share his 8 pages of typed feedback on every episode of the show so far. This episode might be a disaster, but at least it has a long story about Patrick’s dad winning lacrosse world championships and.
