Two Things

Nick and Chris cap off another era with Harmony Korine's most recently released film THE BEACH BUM and the final entry in the decades-spanning Universal Soldier action franchise UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: DAY OF RECKONING. Credit to Joe for the artwork. Unexpectedly had less time to focus on editing the ep this week so sorry if there are cracks in the foundation <3 

That's the spirit, soldier. See you soon. 

Chris and Nick take a gander at Harmony Korine's most notorious work, SPRING BREAKERS as well as the fifth film and third direct sequel in the Universal Soldier franchise UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: REGENERATION, oft cited as the best of the six! 

chris and nick hump trash, aka talking about Harmony Korine's TRASH HUMPERS and going on lengthy diatribes about film criticism before slippin' & slidin' into a pleasant conversation about JCVD's return to the Universal Soldier franchise, UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: THE RETURN. 

Chris and Nick continue the dive down the rabbit hole of Harmony Korine's filmography, this time watching MISTER LONELY, and the Universal Soldier franchise, this time wrapping up the non-JCVD entries with UNIVERSAL SOLDIER III: UNFINISHED BUSINESS. for any curious cats out there, the edited section at the end contained a conversation about my PS5 not working, my cat going to the kitty ER (she's ok!), a cryptobro exploiting his dying grandmother to peddle a book written by ChatGPT, and the Barbie Oscar nomination (or lack thereof!) backlash. it was simply unbearable. 

lordy, all the Barbie talk aged horribly after those Oscar noms on Tuesday, huh???? and i know i got the outkast lyric wrong SORRYYYYY anyways Cicholas and Nhristopher continue their way through the HARMONY KORINE filmography dive with Julien Donkey-Boy and the UNIVERSAL SOLDIER action franchise with Universal Soldier II: Brothers In Arms. 

if you saw the first title for this ep no you didn’t anyways so Chris and Nick embark on the newest miniseries: The Films of Harmony Korine & The Universal Soldier Franchise. Starting off with the inaugural film from the latter, and GUMMO from the former! Pow pow! Bang bang! Xenia Ohio suffered from apocalyptic tornadoes. 

Nick and Chris close out the Art Shocker miniseries with a cult classic of experimental filmmaking, BEGOTTEN, and arguably the most immoral film they will ever discuss on this show, THE BRIDGE! 

nick and chris END the marvel miniseries with a discussion of the second season of Loki before segueieeinaying into a conversation about the film that prompted the Art Shocker miniseries, ANGST. 

this week the two geezers discuss the MARVELS and the MARBLES ha ha ha the Marvels being the penultimate entry in the MCU, and the MARBLES being the antagonists of the iconic John Waters film PINK FLAMINGOS. 

What do Nick and Chris / Chris and Nick get up to in this episode? I thought you'd never ask. They continue the Marvel discussion with secret invasion good LORD and then they set their sights on perhaps the most bleak film they have discussed / will ever discuss, IN A GLASS CAGE. 

Chris, the student, becomes the master (Nick) in terms of learning to love a Guardians film so to speak! Hey-o! chris and nick also tackle maybe THE definitive Art Shocker, Cannibal Holocaust. 

chris and nick bring a long day of multiple episode recordings to a close by talking about ant-man and the wasp of quantumania jumbalaya shrimp and an art shocker that notoriously is not controversial at all and requires no real brain power to have an intellectual discussion about, Oliver Stone Rock Pebble's NATURAL BORN KILLERS! natural born killer, qu'est-ce que c'est? fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better run run run run run run run awaaaaay ooooohhhhhhhh ay ay ay ay ay!!!!!

Chris and Nick have a very NORMAL, a very RATIONAL, a very AMICABLE disagreement about the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. They then segue into a discussion of the notoriously not-ethically-compromised highest grossing film of all time domestically THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST buckle your seatbelts this one packs a punch buckaroos

I would like to make it known that I withdraw  my South Park statements after watching subsequent episodes and barely cracking a smile. But anyways, come in and sit down! Take a load off! Chris and Nick have some THINGS to discuss, in fact TWO of them, those TWO THINGS being the follow-up to Black Panther and one of the most controversial films of the 70's... a film that Roger Ebert himself walked out of... Caligula. If you read the descriptions of these eps, hope you are doing well, thank you for listening as always. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, but especially HELENA, yes you! Helena! If you are reading this and / or still with us after we wrapped up our Girls miniseries, Chris and I saw your review on Apple Podcasts and it touched our decrepit hearts and brought a smile to our faces.

Chris and Nick touch on the befuddling FNAF film before they continue their trudge through the MCU trenches with She-Hulk: Attorney At Law! Then they HULK SMASH into their new Art Shocker miniseries and discuss the notorious Pier Paolo Pasolini film, Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom. Due to the intense subject matter in the film, listener discretion is advised. 

Join the masses in listening to Chris and Nick as they regale adventures of Thor: Love and Thunder and Sharp Stick, aka the for real legit finale to the Lena Dunham arc on Two Things. Also, not to be forgotten, Chris and Nick unveil the next THING they will be discussing as they finish up the MCU! enjoy :) 

Chris and Nick have a brief KOTFM discussion before delving into two things made primarily for young adults, Ms. Marvel and Catherine Called Birdy! They also name Taylor Swift albums and discuss Bon Jovi and overall act like juvenile delinquents.

nick and chris inject some MULTIVERSE of MADNESS into their veins and build some TINY FURNITURE in order to come down let's go dude let's gooooooooo!!!!!

blah blah moon knight blah blah Nick and Chris discuss the controversial final two episodes of HBO's Girls and bring the first official titular THING to a close :(
