    Our Friends Said They'd Listen

    Our Friends Said They'd Listen is one of the two greatest podcasts hosted by David and Ron, who host two great podcasts. We talk about all kinds of movies - especially old and obscure ones. Plus really bad ones that we like for some reason. Nobody wears pants during taping (we thought it was important to include that last part).

    #41: Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986)/Pirates 5/10 Cloverfield Lane

    We had two special guests on the podcast to debate the best film in the Alien franchise. In the end the one thing we could all agree on was that David should have liked 10 Cloverfield Lane more than he did.

    Ron and David talk about The World According to Garp, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Ms. Swan's trust issues. I mean, why can't she believe in ghost stories? There's a ghost monkey right in front of her. Repeatedly. In fairness, you try wearing a corset.

    #37: The Prestige (2006)/Green Room/Metropolis/Brute Force

    Ron and David invite Cory Caplan on to talk "The Prestige," also known as "the other movie about magicians that isn't 'The Illusionist.'" Actually, we thought we were covering "The Illusionist" and were really disappointed to find out we'd made a mistake.

    Instant-Take: Your Name *with spoilers*

    Instant-Take: Your Name *with spoilers*

    David employs the same techniques seen in Zero Dark Thirty until Ron agrees to see Makoto Shinkai's latest film: Your Name/Kimi No Na Wa.

    Will Ron like the movie? Will David spontaneously combust from effusive praise? Is that even possible? Answers lie within!

    #34: The Incident (1967)

    #34: The Incident (1967)

    David and Ron endlessly praise a movie you probably have no way of watching and then mercilessly remind you of that fact. Note: this episode violates Article 3, Protocol 2 of the Geneva Convention. Enjoy!
