The Movie Melting Pot: Recent Episodes
Jake Stryffeler
Just a couple of guys talking about movies they like to watch - and probably movies that you like to watch too.
This episode is just a wreck of too many things we've watched. Warning: spoilers abound!
We only were able to talk about some things that were incomplete this episode, but we wanted to hang out so here you go. Look forward to next week where we talk about a few new movies and the conclusion to all these shows!
Spoiler warning: this podcast has spoilers for all these shows so tread lightly. we also spend most of the time talking about arcane, so sorry to all the Marvel honks out there.
Since we're basic, we just chose 2 Netflix originals this week. one movie was meh, the other, as Jake so astutely contrived, had diarrhea spewed on the last several pages of the script and no one seemed to notice.
We're back! due to technical issues this is a bit later than I promised, but it's uploaded regardless. Sorry about the bad audio!
We're back I swear! This Saturday Special, we're talking some of the big ticket Items that have come out in the last few months. Hope you enjoy!
DON'T DELETE THIS EPISODE. This episode is not an hour and a half of talking anime. For a bunch of shows that we have been watching, listen to the first hour. If you're interested at all, or just like listening to us, the last half an hour regales Jake's thoughts after watching the first season of Demon Slayer.
Sorry this is late... and rambley. Life is busy! If this episode is not the deep intellectual film discussion and critique we have been known to give, I hope it's at least entertaining.
I made a chicken pot pie when my wife was pregnant and the smell of the crust made her nauseous.
We're back again! More BIG life things are happening and will happen soon so buckle in for more inconsistency, but these are 2 good movies! Ok maybe one good movie and one that I'm ok never watching again.
It's been a few weeks since we last posted! Don't worry we didn't quit. It's Just been a busy few weeks!
This week we're discussingThe Passion of the Christ as the first movie of our Mel Gibson month. We also spend a bit of time on last weeks episode, Django Unchained.
A Jake solo episode!

This WandaVision finale had us feeling rather... Good! Or at least two of us felt that way... Thanks Obama - I mean Austin.
A Jake solo episode this week! there isn't much to deeply talk about with The Godfather, but it is a movie that bears rewatching.
Let Neptune strike ye dead, Winslow! Haaaaark! Hark, Triton! Hark! Bellow, bid our father, the sea king, rise from the depths, full foul in his fury, black waves teeming with salt-foam, to smother this young mouth with pungent slime… to choke ye, engorging your organs till ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more… only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slithering tentacled tail and steaming beard, take up his fell, be-finnèd arm — his coral-tined trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye, a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now — a nothing for the Harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the dread emperor himself… forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea… for any stuff or part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul, is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea.
I made more editing oopses and tried to fix some of them.. Hope it worked!
Richard's back... Finally! We all love this movie and it makes it hard to have an in-depth conversation about it. In fact, we spend half the episode laughing at one particular meme. Feel free to look it up for yourself.
Not the most explosive episode of television, but it is just intriguing enough to make us say.... Huh. Take a listen as we break down WandaVision Episode 6
No Richard, no problem. Austin have Jake still have a nice long conversation about the amazing highs of phase 3, some memories they have, and how much they are looking forward to the future.
BIG spoilers this week, after an episode that answers many small questions, but leaves Tyler and I asking the big ones. Take a listen and join the conversation.
Tyler is back for our discussion of phase 2, the phase that Jake describes in this podcast as the younger step brother of the MCU . Take a listen and agree.
Finally! Spoiler warning for the podcast, as this weeks episode of wandavision reveals some BIG info. All of our questions have been answered! Sort of..
This show just got weirder, if that's even possible. We are excited to see where this is going, and we hope you enjoy coming along with us.
This is a tough one. A man both hated and revered. Don't listen if you just ate. Here, we dive deep into the worst of Adam Sandler.

Our first debate! Nothing strikes fear in the heart of Star Wars nerds like the words "The Last Jedi", but we're not afraid of it here! take a listen and let us know who had the best arguments, which trilogy is your favorite and why.
A good episode this week! If you've seen Snowpeircer and liked it's themes and production, this is the episode for you. It's our longest episode in months, because we had a lot to talk about. Enjoy!
We spent too much time on the Clone Wars, but it's a good show so who cares? I hope something we talk about peaks your interest. Enjoy!
An interesting episode to say the least. The finale has sadly fallen into the trap of setting up more sequels. Some may say they can't wait for more from this world and creative team. No matter what side you're on, we'll be right here talking about it with you.
Editing Jake made an oopsie but he thinks he's got it figured out now. Sorry, and it you couldn't make t through the beginning, it's fixed! (probably)
This movie is a beloved family classic..... For a few specific families. Probably not yours. If you've never watched the movie, this podcast isn't going to make it a classic for you. Enjoy!
To all you Jake haters out there, this is the episode for you. He had a paper to write and couldn't make it on for the episode. Richard and Austin step in to save the day!
It's not debate month, but it might have felt that way after listening to this episode. Sorry for the technical difficulties, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Enjoy!
This season is almost over and it feels like it just began! This episode is very "take" driven, so if you're looking for someone to vicariously talk about your opinions of this episode, this this is the podcast for you.
The introduction of our first guest could not have come for a better episode, as Justin is a hallmark super fan. Don't worry, I cut out most of the chaos. Unlike Hallmark, This podcast did not stick to a template.
A Jake solo episode this week! He has some thought about this episode, especially about a certain... Name reveal for a major character.
The episodes keep introducing plot teasers so these episodes keep getting longer. A very interesting episode this week, so give this a listen! Also, watch The Clone Wars and Rebels.
A wise bee once asked "Ya like jazz?" Sam Raimi said yes and set out to prove it. Spiderman 3 is truly a masterpiece.
This weeks Saturday special covers the new Mandalorian episode. Here's a quick summary of this podcast: WATCH THE CLONE WARS.
The Two Towers this week! this episode is a bit rough. Richard and I were getting into a groove, but adding our third host is a good problem to have! I hope you all enjoy Austin's energy and willingness to talk loudly and without breaks in his speech.
Two Mark Walberg and Will Ferrell comedies in our first 10 episodes? Thanks Richard. It's Daddy's Home this week! Richard says, once again, it's "solid", but I wonder whether it was worth the price to rent it.
Our first Saturday Special! Our hope is that this is a place where we can talk about The TV shows we are watching. It is convenient that The Mandalorian is released weekly. More content! we hope you enjoy.
BOO AGAIN. It's the last episode of spooktober, but there isn't too much spooky about this movie. it's young Frankenstein!
BOO. It's spooktober, and that means it's time for a spooky movie: The Nightmare Before Christmas! it's creative visuals and unique story telling couldn't quite make up for some of it's other flaws, but we decide it's a solid movie nonetheless.
Raiders of the lost ark this week! We talk briefly about the ridiculousness of 80's movies and Spielberg's illustrious career before moving on to what the ark of the covenant was actually like and how Indiana Jones is pretty much equal to Captain America in this movie.
Richards back and it's Nacho time! We sadly disappoint on the quote front, but the episode isn't too bad. We also unveil our newest production sound...
A double feature! Richard is sick and couldn't record, but still wanted to be on the Nacho Libre episode. To replace it, I chose rolling stone's #1 sci-fi movie of the 70's and a movie that... Well, just listen to the podcast.
This week we watched Pan's Labyrinth, and we were blown away by its incredible themes, storytelling, and beauty. This episode might be a bit more analytical, but don't miss out on watching this incredible movie for yourself.
We just saw Tenet, and... Oh boy. This was interesting. Take a listen and you might understand the movie just as poorly as Richard and I.
First, we spend some time talking about the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, a cultural icon and beloved superhero. Then we talk about The Other Guys, a movie that is a bit more absurd then we make it out to be...
