Ep. 21: Rogue One (2016): I've Been In This Heist Since I Was Six Years Old

We did it! We finally watched Bullet Train! And it's not a heist... But it is a great film and can teach us a lot about the elements we love in heist movies! Becky, Scott, and Alyssa take a deep dive into why we love this film and talk about everything including Lionel Trains, Knives Out, Twitter film people, ensemble casts, and a full MEAL of Hot Takes. So all aboard listeners, we're looking for a Diesel!

We're back with a very special "short episode" breaking down Maroon 5's heist music video for "Payphone."  Becky, Alyssa, and Scott do commentary on the video, then proceed to lose their collective minds. They discuss bad pitches, Adam Levine, People's Sexiest Man Alive, and what women actually find hot. This episode is, in a word: chaos. Follow and leave us a rating to let us know you enjoyed this episode as much as we did!

This is a long one, so buckle in and get ready for a wild Summer of Spies ride!

It’s SPY X FAMILY part two this week as we continue our Summer of Spies and our spiraling obsession with this show! In this episode we discuss episodes 6-12, finishing out the first half of season one. Becky, Scott, and Alyssa talk sports anime, quick kiss me, shared bed trope, training montages, and lots more in this whirlwind of an episode. Now that we’re firmly in the series, does this show make good on its premise? Let’s find out!

Summer of Spies 2022 has begun! We’re starting off with a fan (and host) favorite with SPY X FAMILY! This is a new anime following the adventures of a Spy,  Assassin, and Telepath pretending to be a happy family while hiding their identities from each other. We obviously love this show, but what makes it so special as an anime and as a spy tv series? Becky, Scott, and Alyssa talk Shonen, fake relationships, Anya meme faces, and ANIME CHARACTERS MADE FOR WOMEN (mostly Loid’s collar bones)!

The crew is back with a new (in some ways old) episode! This week we wrap up the original Ocean's Trilogy with Ocean's 13. It's a deep dive as we get into the nitty-gritty of what makes heists tick. Ocean's 13 walks a fine line between amazing and middling, so what could get it to go the extra mile? Becky, Scott, and Alyssa talk Oprah, Al Pacino, Carlo's Bakery, and the importance of theme. This is the series that started it all, but does it stick the landing?

(Quick note, this episode was recorded in April of 2021, so if anything seems dated, now you know why...)

It's a special anime themed episode this week with special guest Jon! We're talking Lupin III: The First and discuss Boston accents, leather underwear, and old anime Hitler using alien technology to take over the world! (Seriously, it's in the movie.) Come join the crew as we figure out if this anime master thief can make an anime master heist!

It's been a minute, but Becky, Scott, and Alyssa are back and heistier than ever! We've got a great line up of movies coming up and we're starting out with a hot one. This week we break down Tower Heist. (With the word "Heist" in the name it has to be good, right?... Right?)  The crew talks Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda, New York City actors, and Gold Ferraris. Can this funny group of wannabe Robin Hoods pull off the heist of the century? Is it even a heist movie?

We're back in a galaxy far far away as we break down Solo: A Star Wars Story! Becky and Scott are joined by Alyssa as they talk about pointy thumbs, Donald Glover, and the Woody Harrelson multi-verse. This movie contains not one, but TWO heists! But does it add up to a heist film?
