We're baaaack! Did you miss us? The Medieval Times Hospital we were in last week just didn't have good enough wi-fi for a podcast... Sorry! But the good news is we're alive and kicking - some of us are even kicking from inside the womb now! Yes, the baby officially has ears and can hear us as we rattle on about this week's movies - The Vow and the little-known Defending Your Life. Just don't let the baby hear what this podcast is really all about (murder, office whore-ery, purgatory, love flatulence, apathetic amnesia and Candace Cameron Bure) and we'll be just fine. So please enjoy this week's podcast - but only if you're a "good person." If you're not.... Krissy will see you at the office soon. Rated PG-16(ish)!

The power of LANDIS compels you! Yes, it's a Landis family double feature this week as we watch our first movie of 2012 in the theaters, Chronicle (written by Max Landis) and pair it with Krissy's first John Belushi movie EVER, 1978's Animal House (directed by Max's dad, John Landis). And between grumbling about jobs, exhaustion, lack of sleep, pregnancy brain, etc., we discuss moving things with our minds, the suspension-of-disbelief-a-meter, rainbows and third-world countries, flying pitstops, filthy fraternities, Eddie Murphy and the Knights and much much more! We're practically moving your finger to push play right now...WITH OUR MINDS!!!!!! Rated PG-15!

BREAKING NEWS! The So I Married a Movie Geek foray into Director's Month is being abbreviated - cut short! ended! sayonara! - to make room for an important announcement and subsequent podcast... Whatever could it be? Are J and K moving to the Ukraine, becoming gypsies and hiring Maggie as their manager?? No. But we promise the news and ensuing discussion are pretty EPIC. And by epic, we definitely mean 'crazy' and 'all over the place.' Parenthood and Hugh Grant's Nine Months make for some good in-between conversation, but really, this podcast is all about US. Because we are VERY ATTRACTIVE and PEOPLE CARE ABOUT US!!!!!! ...Or so we have deluded ourselves to believe. This podcast is rated PG-13!

Krissy's finally been Hitchcock'd! YES! For our next week in "Directors Month," we watched Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) and Rear Window (1954), making them the very first Hitchcock movies Krissy has EVER SEEN. Say whaaaaaaat???!?? Thank Jeebus we have this podcast so we could rectify that crazy happenstance. And since we were rollin' late on this episode, we tried to keep it shortish, even using a stopwatch. The timed discussion includes crazy talk 'bout Norman Bates' "nervousity," bad taste AIDS jokes, Janet "Worst Crook of All Time" Leigh, controversial flushing toilets, bad James Stewart impressions, our personal Rear Windows, the flash defense and Supreme Hottie Grace Kelly! It's all PG-ish and totally in TECHNICOLOR!!!!!

January = Director's Month here at So I Married a Movie Geek, and what better way to start it off than with two movies by the Coors Brothers -- err, Coen Brothers. (The former brothers tried to make beer and failed. The latter make movies!) So J and K got saddled up for a crazy, greedy/murderous romp through all the states they'd never want to actually be in for prolonged periods of time. Yes -- all the way to Fargo and the land where Mexican mariachi bands awaken you from your bloody stupor with song (aka No Country for Old Men)! Good times, folks. Good times. And by 'good times' we definitely mean 'holy hell, we're glad we're not hapless characters caught in a Coen Bros' character cycle of corruption and avarice.' But hey, if you like cowboys (but not aliens), North Dakota / Minnesota accents (but not ever living there), or brothers who make fine cinema instead of crappy beer, listen on! Rated PG-ish...?

Happy new year, y'all!! Before we proceeded with the awesomeness that is 2012, we took an episode-long look back at our favorite films of 2011! So we each had our own personal lists with some honorable mentions on the side! Which movies would be the ones we'd most likely watch again and again a few years from now? If we had 10 flicks from the past year to take onto a desert island, which ones would we choose? Could we (gasp) have the same #1 movie??? ALSO, Krissy looks at the list of 68 movies (!!!) she finally caught up with due to the podcast and chooses her favorites and least favorites! This episode is rated PG-13!

TOM CRUISE POWER! Since Krissy (of course) had never seen a Mission: Impossible movie beforehand, this week we watched the 1996 original in preparation for an IMAX screening of the brand new Mission 4! This one involved GHOSTS! Or did it? Which one wowed us more? And what did we think of the extended trailer that ran before the movie for The Dark Knight Rises? You should listen! Because, well, we talk about all of that...stuff! We also discuss exploding chewing gum and French aquarium restaurants, Cruise's running skills, climbing up buildings with sticky gloves in Dubai, EMILIO ESTEVEZ!!!, Paula Patton's blazing hotness, Jeremy Renner's Bourne-ness, Charlie Brown teacher villains and much much more! And it's all relatively PG! This podcast episode will self-destruct in 3 seconds...

Christmas came early this year, folks - in the form of awards screeners! So many screeners, so little time... How will J and K ever watch them all? This week your favorite Movie Geek couple gets all nostalgic with movies that vaguely remind them of their own lives: Young Adult and The Descendants. Cause, you know, we totally have some rich, royal ancestors that left us with acres and acres of virgin Hawaiian land. Just thinking about it gives us Kushlash. That or a hangover. We can't really remember how much we drank last night with our friend Patton Oswalt. Oh well! Also, Charlize Theron and George Clooney! Wowzers. But please listen to this week's podcast. It's a roller coaster ride filled with amazingly wonderful wrong turns down KenTacoHut lane. And it's rated PG! So there.

SPIELBERG DOUBLE FEATURE, y'all! Yes, we're catching senioritis in terms of the holidays, we missed a early screening of War Horse and we decided to rectify that by exposing Krissy to a two-fer of The Steve's output from the Aughts: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) and A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)! One Krissy almost fell asleep during (big surprise!) and the other's viewing was Justin's only 2nd time seeing it since the 1st time being one of the saddest movie-going experiences of his life. Ain't that a bucketful of smiles? You know what didn't make either of us smile in these 2 movies? The endings! WHAT IN THE WORLD??!?!?!? Am I right or am I right? We also discuss CGI that makes us want to die, LeBarf, Cate Blanchett's accent, the most indestructible fridge in history, not-hispanic quadruple crossers, Haley Joel Awesome?, kickass robotic bears ("It will break!"), Kubrickberg, douchey bros and much more! We might have even kept things PG! Just maybe.

As you sit and rub your swollen post-Thanksgiving bellies, we here at So I Married a Movie Geek would like to remind you that though the holiday is over, there is still so much to be thankful for... Vegas trips and GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS!, the fact that you don't live right next to a vampire (even if he does look like Colin Farrell), the inalienable right to touch your face 40,000 times a day (and a governmental investigative agency who's willing to go to all the trouble of cataloging every time you poke your punim), and Leonardo DiCaprio in both a fat suit and a dress. At the same time. I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP, PEOPLE. Or perhaps you're not thankful for all of these things; perhaps you're at a low point in your life. Perhaps you're just waiting for Robert Redford to walk into your life and offer you $5M (adjusted for inflation) for the pleasure of sleeping with your significant other. Cause after all, that'd be so money, baby... Or not. Perhaps you're just waiting to finish reading this so you can get on with the business of listening to this week's J. Edgar / Contagion / Fright Night podcast, with special side reviews of Swingers and Indecent Proposal. Yep. That sounds more like it. Please enjoy our Thanksgiving hodgepodge podcast - it'll fill your heart in much the same way that your octogenarian Grandma's fruitcake fills your stomach. Rated PG-13(ish)!
