The podcast you didn’t know you didn’t need. Three friends talk about movies and pop culture focusing on a different topic each podcast. An irreverent discussion from passionate film buffs. Serious talk about unserious things
Ever wonder why werewolves are such a horror staple? On this episode of "The Bricked Pit," we're diving deep into the world of cinematic werewolves, exploring the myths, the movies, and everything in between. We'll trace the werewolf legend back to its roots in ancient Greece (turns out people have been afraid of turning into wolves for a long time!), and talk about how those stories have changed over time. Plus, we'll discuss how 20th-century horror classics like "The Wolf Man" shaped how we see werewolves today. Remember those awesome practical effects in "The Howling" and "An American Werewolf in London?" We'll revisit those iconic transformation scenes and talk about why they're still considered the gold standard . Of course, no discussion of werewolf movies is complete without talking about classic tropes like full moon transformations, the battle between man and beast, and those oh-so-contagious bites. We'll also dig into some of our favorite werewolf movies, including the feminist horror flick "Ginger Snaps" and the hilarious horror-comedy "Werewolves Within." So, grab your silver bullets and join us for a howling good time as we explore the wild world of werewolves on film!
Stop motion films. The guys dig into some good and bad stop motion films along with a brief discussion of the art form.
Sometimes the second time round is better. Listen as Josh and Jason discuss sequels that are better than the original.
Part 2 of our wistful discussion of things past and the choking sentiment of nostalgia plaguing media today
Nostalgia is a helluva drug. Remembering a bygone era can make us feel better. Memories are often unreliable and present things in a preferred narrative. As children, we didn’t have the responsibilities of adulthood; therefore we tend to remember the years of our childhood as being a ‘better’ or ‘simpler’ time. Entertainment taps into those feeling by presenting stories set in the times of our youth or by bringing back an IP that you enjoyed in an effort to entice you to watch. Some of those films tell a good story set in those times. Other just copy and paste the original into a newer package.Picks:JK: the sandlot, back to the future AO: SuperbadJD: Ghost Busters: Afterlife; American Graffiti
Topic: Movies to grade your relationships byWe love movies because they can affect us in so many ways. A lot can be learned about people from the types of movies that they prefer to watch. Sometimes we use those preferences to make decisions about people and how we’re going to interact with them. Now we share the movies that we use as metrics for our friends and enemiesPicks:JK: Gentleman Bronco, Top SecretJD: Bubba Ho-TepContact Info: linktr.ee/Brickedpitbrickedpit@gmail.com

Well, it was back in '24 when Adam up and sold all his possessions and moved out west to the Rockies to live off the land as a trapper and all around mountain man since he already felt that he had the beard for it. Josh began training to accomplish his lifelong pursuit to fight a bear in a sumo match. As for Jason, well he decided to sail around the world solo in an inflatable kiddie pool. Why'd they do such things? Some say that they were crazy. Others say they was bored. Still, some believe that they were just plumb stupid. Turns out that they were all those things. Plus, they wanted to prepare to talk about movies concerning man vs. nature like Project Grizzly, The Revenant, All Is Lost, Jerimiah Johnson, and Never Cry Wolf.

April Seventh, Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Two. The First Battle of the Bricked Pit was brutal. Private Josh was injured by cannon fire. Doc Adam amputated his right arm in a very painful procedure that was made even more painful by the fact that it was Josh's legs that were injured in the blast. Lt. Jason took massive casualties to his regiment after being given the order to charge. He took no enemy fire. Instead, he led his men into the river. Few knew how to swim. The morale is low as Adam, Jason, and Josh discuss films dealing with the bloodiest years in American history, the Civil War. Listen to them discuss films such as Lincoln, The General, Gods & Generals, and The Birth of a Nation.

If you wish to learn the secret of Bricked Pit style, you must first unite your body and mind to optimize the flow of your qi. Then, you must muster all of your hatred, passion, and ego to channel it into the unearned self confidence to discuss film theory and history for podcast episodes on things such as the Hong Kong/Taiwanese Kung Fu film genre. Adam uses his Flying Giggle Kick to talk about Drunken Master 2; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Hero; and Kung Fu Hustle. Josh's Burning Hate Punch lays to waste Cripple Masters and Rumble in the Bronx. Jason unleashes his Lunging Double Disdain attack on The 36th Chamber of Shaolin and Dragon. These and other movies will feel the might of the dreaded Bricked Pit style, which consists mostly of sucker punches and insulting one's preferred pop culture entertainment.

We don't have time to mess around. We've only got 45 more minutes before we lose the light. You only get one take, so don't screw up your lines. Don't worry about the camera. It's just going to be on sticks. We can't afford to move it. That's how it is when you're working on a small budget. Don't worry, this movie will be big despite not having a blockbuster budget. You know why? Because this movie's got something that connects to the public, it's got heart. You don't believe me? Ask the guys from the Bricked Pit. They know about movies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Moon, Mad Max, Rocky, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, Pulp Fiction, and Napoleon Dynamite.

Welcome to the Western, pardner. What we gots here is the old cattle barons, gunslingers, and all sorts of rough and tumble folks who helped tame the wild land west of the Mississippi coming up against all the greenhorns from back east coming in with their fences, locomotive trains, and laws with them. Jason, Adam, and Josh talk about when civilization proper begins to encroach on the Wild West of open ranges and gun duels. Listen to the cowpokes sing the ballads of such films as The Wild Bunch, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Open Range, Shane, No Country for Old Men, Unforgiven, Giant, and the Young Guns films.

Put on your too tight jeans, do up that hair, and get ready to rock! In your living room! The guys go back to the documentary genre for a little slice of the concert film. What separates these movies from other documentaries? Are they their own art form? Did you just take the brown acid? Oh my god! Keep calm! Take deep breaths, and listen to the guys bring you down by talking about Monterey Pop, The Last Waltz, Depeche Mode 101, Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii, Stop Making Sense, Amazing Grace, and Neil Young in Berlin. Josh may have been deceptive in the editing by including audio of songs not recorded during the Berlin performance for this episode.

It's late. The kids have gone to bed. You have the living room to yourselves. The lights are low. You still have a box of wine left. You know what's it time for. That's right. Time to watch some cartoons! We're not talking about that Disney BS with dancing mice. No, the mice here only do the dance of death as they gnaw off people's faces. The guys discuss animated films that are made for more mature audiences... well... at least age wise. Jason, Adam, and Josh talk about cartoons dealing with more adult themes that sometimes have curse words, graphic violence, drug and/or alcohol use, and maybe even some nudity. Join them as they discuss filmmakers such as Ralph Bakshi and Hayao Miyazaki. They talk about such films as Heavy Metal, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Fantastic Planet, and A Scanner Darkly while also discussing the importance of TV animation like The Simpsons, The Adult Swim lineup, and Archer among others.

As you sit back in your LazerBoy recliner wearing your Levy jeans and drinking your Dr. Thunder soda, you see by the time on your Rollex watch that it's time to watch a movie. Well, there're only one kind of movie for someone of your caliber. That's the mockbuster. A movie that knows that it doesn't have the budget, cast, marketing, or originality of your big studio A-list titles; but knows that it can be made cheaper and in just the nick of time to ride a blockbuster's coattails to profitability. Jason, Adam, and Josh discuss such films as Troll 2, Death Race 2000, Mac & Me, Missing in Action, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.

How much money was Michael Caine's tax bill to cause him to be in so many? The guys talk films like The Poseidon Adventure, Twister, Dr. Strangelove, Armageddon, The Martian, Greenland, The Swarm, and others.

Somehow Adam, Jason, and Josh are able to whittle down their favorites to people like John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, John Carpenter, Vangelis, Danny Elfman, Howard Shore, and Prince to start and soundtracks like The Crow, Snatch, the Guardians of the Galaxy films, and American Graffiti.

We're going back to when parenting was filling your bowl with Mr. T cereal and plopping you in front of the TV for a few hours while they sat at the kitchen table staring off into the void smoking Marlboros. You're watching the cartoon based off a franchise about the sexual exploits of police officers, playing with your toys of a murderous cyborg, and wearing your pajamas of a mentally unstable war veteran. In the 1980's and into the 90's, companies weren't going to leave merchandizing money on the table and were willing to sell almost anything and everything to kids. Even the IPs that weren't originally made for them. Jason, Adam, and Josh talk about those properties that crossed the line from grown-up entertainment to toy aisle and animated territories. The Bricked Pit's discussion includes Ghostbusters, Terminators, Predators (the alien kind), Toxic Avengers, Robocops, and Rambos. Let us know of any more that come to your mind because we know that we didn't get them all.

Peer pressure is a thing. Before you know it, you're using that money that you stole from your mother's purse to buy a ticket to Attack of the Clones. I mean... you saw The Phantom Menace. You know that this isn't going to get any better; but there are your friends waving you into the theater. The latest trailers and Lego sets are racing across their minds. They've succumbed to... THE OVERHYPE!!!!
Join Adam, Jason, and Josh as they discuss those films that rose to the top because someway, somehow the masses were drawn to it; but the films themselves could cast the check that all the hype wrote. Movies in this sphere include but are not limited to The Blair Witch Project; American Beauty, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, Donnie Darko, Full Metal Jacket, Avatar, and Joker.
