The Binge Bros revisit David Fincher's The Social Network ahead of The Social Reckoning. The episode covers the full production story — Aaron Sorkin building the screenplay from lawsuit depositions and a Natalie Portman dinner party, the street mime Fincher sent onto Harvard property, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross delivering one of the greatest film scores of the 21st century. Then a full scene by scene recall of the film, plus what to expect from The Social Reckoning and whether Jeremy Strong's Zuckerberg could top Eisenberg's.

The Binge Bros revisit Weapons — the 2025 horror film from Zach Cregger that we saw on opening night together, which sparked a parking lot conversation that became the genesis of this podcast. A year later, ahead of Cregger's Resident Evil, we go deeper on the grief that drove the screenplay, how Cregger wrote sentence by sentence after losing his best friend and Whitest Kids U' Know co-founder Trevor Moore in 2021, why the Rashomon structure was the only way to pull off the Gladys reveal, and whether Aunt Gladys is a witch or something closer to a parasite. Plus: the Gladys prequel situation, who deserves their own chapter, and what we expect from Cregger's Resident Evil.

Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can't lose. (Yes we know they actually don't say this in the movie). We close out our football season binge with 2004's Friday Night Lights. We cover the full production story — how H.G. Bissinger's book bounced around Universal for 14 years, why Peter Berg got the job (he and Bissinger also happen to be second cousins), why he shot football like a combat sport, and the deal Berg made with Odessa to film on location. Plus: the Astrodome final game, how the film softened the book's racial themes to get access, and the question the film keeps asking — is the town the hero or the villain?

Football season is here and you can do it with Adam Sandler's 1998 classic The Waterboy. In this episode, the Binge Bros break down the full production story — the SNL Canteen Boy sketch that inspired Bobby Boucher, how Tim Herlihy intentionally flipped the Happy Gilmore formula, and director Frank Coraci playing Bobby's dad Roberto. Plus our Farmer Fran favorite lines, which NFL team would draft Bobby Boucher today, and why a 32% on Rotten Tomatoes for this movie is an absolute travesty. The movie had a $23M budget and made $186M worldwide. Mama said that's good business.

In celebration of our 30th episode, the Binge Bros answer the question everyone gets asked and nobody can answer cleanly — what's your favorite movie? The episode runs through three rounds: pretentious answer, nostalgic answer, and guilty pleasure, before expanding to full top 8 lists. See what ranks as our favorites and let us know what you would put in your top 8.

The Binge Bros break down The End of Oak Street — David Robert Mitchell's 80s-set suburban dinosaur thriller starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, produced by JJ Abrams. The episode covers the full production story including how Oscar Isaac almost played Greg, ILM rethinking the dinosaur scale for a neighborhood environment, and Michael Giacchino scoring this back to back with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Plus we talk feathered dinos, JJ mystery boxes, and the Brachiosaurus scene that's accidentally (or maybe intentionally) a Jurassic Park parody. And of course, we ask whether after years of Jurassic stinkers, is the dinosaur movie we always needed?

The scavenger hunt is on. This week we welcome writer-director Gregory Pellerito to the Movie Marathon Podcast for our first guest interview. The episode covers the making of Moments of Youth — a coming-of-age film set the night before graduation in Winthrop Creek, featuring Cheri Oteri and John Farley. Pellerito reveals the details behind the expansive drone sequence, how it took over a year to secure a private jet to film inside, and how nearly 3,000 submissions were considered for one role. Plus the Binge Bros relive their own high school scavenger hunts and close with what they'd love to see Pellerito tackle next. Moments of Youth is available to watch digitally.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally here and if your Spidey Senses are still buzzing after that post-credits scene, our podcast episode has got you covered. We go over the full production story, Tom Holland's newfound Queens accent, Sadie Sink's not-so mystery role, Savage Hulk's return, Scorpion's (wasted) nine-year payoff, the organic web mutation arc, and what the post-credit scene means for Secret Wars. Plus a full live action Spider-Man ranking from both hosts.

Ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the Binge Bros rank all three Tom Holland Spider-Man films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- Homecoming, Far From Home and No Way Home.

Sail west and give it a listen.

The Binge Bros revisit Tenet ahead of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — using one of Nolan's most divisive films as a lens for what to expect from the most anticipated movie of the summer. The episode covers what makes Tenet quintessentially Nolan, the sound mixing controversy, whether COVID hurt it more than the plot did, and what the rest of Nolan's filmography tells us about what The Odyssey is going to be. Plus both hosts reveal their favorite Nolan movies.

The Binge Bros revisit 2004's Troy as part of the warmup for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. This episode covers the full production story — including the fact that Wolfgang Petersen temporarily left Troy to develop Batman v Superman, Brad Pitt's contractual agreement to the project and that Christopher Nolan was the first choice to replace him — then a full breakdown of the film including the beach siege, the Hector vs. Achilles duel, the decision to cut the Greek gods entirely, and where Troy fits in the lineage of practical epic filmmaking leading to Nolan. If you're getting ready for the Odyssey, be sure to tune in.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a flop! And Supergirl really deserved better.

The Movie Marathon Pod reveals it all on Disclosure Day — Steven Spielberg's UFO thriller inspired by the 2017 New York Times Pentagon article that launched the modern UAP era. One of us walked out of the theater in a trance. The other said the last 20 minutes was the only thing he actually wanted to see. We also break down the full production story including John Williams' 30th collaboration with Spielberg, the practical-first shooting approach, the one-take studio scene, the train sequence, and the ending. Currently sitting at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes — does it deserve it? The Binge Bros disagree on that one too.

The Binge Bros make a wish to watch Obsession, Curry Barker's little $750,000 horror indie that became Focus Features' highest grossing film ever at $224 million worldwide.

As part of our Masters rewatch, the Movie Marathon Podcast goes to the green with The Legend of Bagger Vance, Robert Redford's 2000 drama that flopped at the box office, but built a cult following among golfers and anyone who's ever had to rediscover their own swing. The Binge Bros dig into the Bhagavad Gita roots of the story, why Brad Pitt passed on the role that went to Matt Damon, the real golf history behind Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen, and whether Will Smith's most understated performance is also one of his best.

In this episode, we dig into the full production history behind Pandora, including Cameron's decade-long wait for technology to catch up with his vision, the creation of the Na'vi language, and the casting process that almost gave us a very different film. Then we break down the entire film, from Jake Sully's transformation to the destruction of Hometree and whether Eywa's intervention in the final battle is earned or a convenient ending.
