Recorded at the Silent Movie Theater, Grae is joined by guest co-host Michael Monterastelli andJoshua Zeman, co-director of horror documentary Cropsey. The trio discusses his film, legend tripping, helping the families of kidnapping victims, and how Josh likes to take chicks on super creepy first dates.

1941 is Gelder's pick for a film celebrating this fine nation. But Grae feels the same way about it that she did about fireworks as a child: frightened by all the noise. Glory receives a surprisingly warm reaction, especially when they decide that it should be set to Ferris Bueller's soundtrack. And just for legitimacy's sake, make sure to pay attention to WHY Jack is allowed to discuss race relations in this country. He proves it, right on the air!

It's HENRY FONDA week here, and the films are On Golden Pond and Once Upon a Time in the West. Once Grae clears up the fact that Joey has angina and not a vagina, and Rick realizes he loves Midnight Run because DeNiro reminds him of his father, that paves the way for Joey to call George Clooney and Brad Pitt "faggots that don't call each other during the week." This episode is filled to the brim with Hollywood anecdotes and reasons to watch some old movies and celebrate old school magic.

COCO-SITUDE meets FENTENSION this week! Guest co-host and Mafia superstar Joey Coco Diaz faces off with Thomas Fenton, teddy bear screenwriter. Although Tom is one of the minds behind Saw IV, Grae is surprisingly not frightened to have him in the treehouse and Joey gets totally starstruck. It's adorable.
This week they are giving away the WTF Award as they discuss Flash Gordon ("Aaaah! Savior of the Universe!" says Freddy Mercury) and 80s fantasy Krull ("We don't care about this one!" Queen continues). Tom quotes David Lee Roth, Joey just wants someone to Get Him, Grae is obsessed with a gay starfish, and all three of them are nostalgic for whimsy in film. |

The first miracle of the week is that Brad Gage, multi-hat-wearer, can make it through the door despite all the damn hats. Brad brings with him videos about Mombies and a vast knowledge about Green Bay Packer football. Oh, and movie knowledge too! Guest host Emery Emery opens the show much stronger this week...but only because he pledges his undying allegiance to Grae, which butters her up.
It's PHILANTHROPY WEEK and the films reviewed are Robin Hood and Harry Brown. Also this week marks the first installment of Popcorn Mafia Theater! |

The bad accents and racial slurs continue this week as guest host Emery Emery and Grae Drake drag director Matthew Bolton into their tangled web of madness. Just Wright almost slips by without Matty admitting to not having seen the film, but since he states the plot correctly his life is spared. Clash of the Titans gets Emery in an atheistic rage and Grae tries to compare Zeus to Celine Dion. |

Emery Emery lugged both his Mac Book Pro and a blender-full of frapuccino up to the Treehouse in order to seduce G2 into admitting how much they "like Snatch." In this episode opinions are set to stun as they squabble over emaciated heroin addicts in Rocknrolla and bicker about sightless Mexicans in Blindness. No group is safe from our troubled trio as they harp on everyone from the Japanese to receptionists...while Emery keeps trying to get Gariana to put her hand in his lap.

The universe has sent the trio a message that we graciously relay to you, dear listener: THIS PODCAST SAVES LIVES. And although Rob was saved, and then donated his time to discuss Indy and The Fall with them, Grae still calls his youngest kid a loser and Gariana insinuates that his wife is a whore. Rob counters with an uncomfortable but strong love for Lee Pace. Go fig.

G2 generally don't share opinions, but they do share a deep adoration for Love Actually. After wracking their brains to figure out how to scream their allegiance to this film from the proverbial mountaintops, they decided to assemble a crew of talented mafiosi to help them make fun of it. This short originally aired as the pre-show entertainment at their live show with Andy Dick on May 31, 2009. In the same way that Disney withholds their animation love from the general public until they release something from their magical vault for 30 seconds, G2 has waited to share this...until now. Please enjoy and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! |

In this episode, G2 does something a little bit different by scouring the Comic Con floor for mafiosi willing to show them love. Anyone generous enough to give them an interview is rewarded by getting a mic shoved a little too close to their face while G2 manages to offend either their style of dress or their families. The essence of the Con is captured through dialogue with voice over actors, old friends, animation lovers, men who may or may not be dressed as Neo, girls who LOVE Harry Potter, and many many more. |
