Before she was Captain Marvel, and even before she broke poor Jacob Tremblay's heart, Brie Larson was Grace in this heartbreaking and heart-warming slice of life story about a troubled worker at a group home for troubled teens.
Scott's nomination, Die Hard, is widely regarded as one of the best Christmas movies of all time. Do you agree?

Yes, this is our second Roland Emmerich film (after Independence Day) and you can blame Scott for that. The guys question whether or not this is really an "essential guy movie" as so many men have said over the last two decades. At least we can say that The Patriot gave us The Dark Knight.

The RP boys realize how difficult it is to do a plot summary about a movie that isn't done in linear fashion. Still a great episode though, and definitely a movie we should have already seen.
Note: Due to a corrupted file, we lost the last ten minutes of this episode. Sorry, Tots!! This is a first for the RP Boys: a true Western. Jake nominated his favorite movie for review, but we're not sure if the other guys really "got" this film.
The guys went against the critics on this Paul Thomas Anderson–Daniel Day Lewis triumph. Find out why Rotten Potatoes didn't love Tyler's nomination, and just know that this rating is "under protest"!

Will this "unlucky thirteen" episode stand up against the typically high ratings the guys give? Ok, the truth is, Jake nominated Napoleon Dynamite and Scott may never forgive him for it.
Do our Tots have the stomach for what is about to happen in this episode? We know one thing for sure: ol' Quint doesn't anymore.
The guys review Tyler's all-time favorite: the coming of age powerhouse Dead Poets Society. Will you seize the day and give it a listen?

Jake has not seen one of the most classic movies of all time. The guys dissect Mel Gibson's Braveheart, and spend a good amount of time on the details, so make sure that you rewatch the movie during your COVID-19 quarantine before joining us for this episode!
At Zack's recommendation, the guys watch Wes Anderson's classic, The Life Aquatic. Tyler had seen this quirky gem before, but Jake and Scott were both our late bloomers; while we had some expectations where the ratings would fall, we were more than a little surprised with the result. Shoot us a tweet with the final count of how many times Tyler messed up the name of this film.
An all time classic, Scott nominates the seminal Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Even though Zack hadn't seen it since he was a kid, Jake was our late bloomer this episode and the two of them have some interesting reactions to this fan-favorite. Spoiler: Jake had yet to see any Indiana Jones movie except for Crystal Skull.
Tyler nominates one of the worst movies—and yet to him and Scott, one of the best. Michael Bay's Armageddon certainly garners a lot of controversy among critics, and even these Tater-Tots. Figure out why Armageddon only got a 70% on Rotten Potatoes.
Scott, Zack, Tyler, and Jake review one of the most classic coming-of-age stories of all time: (Rob Reiner and Stephen King's) Stand By Me.
