You Are Old: The Movie

Strap on your yarmulkes, Sam and Eli get (not so) serious and discuss our favorite Jew-y movie of all time, The Coen Brothers' A Serious Man. Listen to fun facts about how the film got made in Eli's childhood neighborhood and listen to our take on why it's best to not try to make sense of the Coens' 2009 film but just "accept the mystery". 00:00 -- Intro & Eli's Connection to A Serious Man 08:30 -- Our Top 5 Favorite Coen Brothers Films 27:09 -- 10th Anniversary Review: A Serious Man

Just in time for the release of Zombieland: Double Tap, the crew take a look back at the original Zom-Com starring Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin. Does the humor and the action hold up a decade later, and are we more or less excited to return to the United States of Zombieland? 00:00 - Intro & 10-Year-Old News (David Letterman Extortion) 12:50 - 10th Anniversary Review: Zombieland

It's getting spooky out there. On this episode, Sam and Kyle are joined by our friends Savannah & Doug to discuss the genre-changing found footage horror touchstone, Paranormal Activity. 00:00 - Intro & 10-Year-Old News - Modern Family & Community Premiere - Roman Polanski Arrested (Big yikes: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/harvey-weinstein-polanski-has-served-his-time-and-must-be-freed-1794699.html) 16:00 - 10th Anniversary Re-View: Paranormal Activity (the original) See you next week for ZOMBIELAND!

It's a real food fight on this week's episode, as Sam defends his love of Phil Lord & Chris Miller's animated disaster comedy on its 10th Anniversary, while Kyle comes down a little more mixed. It's gonna be spicey. 00:00 -- Intro & 10-year-old News 18:00 -- 10th Anniversary Review: Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs Catch us next week as we take a look back at the original PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.

Join as us we return to 9/9/09, a date that we will never experience again unless we find a way to put our souls into burlap sack robots for eternity, which is part of the plot to this week's movie, '9', which was NOT directed by Tim Burton despite everyone thinking it is. Here's our take on 9's 10th anniversary. 00:00 -- Intro & 10-year-old News 16:15 -- 10th Anniversary Review: 9 Join us next week for our look back at CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS, available to stream on Netflix.

Sam, Kyle and Eli discuss Mike Judge's fourth (and, so far, final) feature film Extract, which bombed despite a sterling cast of Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Ben Affleck and JK Simmons. Why did it fail, and is it worth another look 10 years later? 00:00 -- 10-year-old News https://www.wired.com/2009/09/youtube-in-talks-to-rent-premium-movies-from-major-studios/ 09:38 -- 10 year anniversary review: Extract  Intro/Outro Music: The score from Jumper by John Powell

Sam, Kyle and Eli debate what makes a movie "so bad it's good", and whether or not 2009's ridiculous The Final Destination falls into that category.  Come back next week as we discuss the 10th anniversary of Mike Judge's "Extract".  Opening/Closing Music: "My Day So Far" & "A Jump Off" by John Powell  

Sam and Kyle *echo* the same sentiments about Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds on its 10th anniversary: it's good. It's really good. But first, we count down our Tarantino flicks from worst to best to see just how good.  00:00 -- Intro & 10 Year Old News 9:00 -- Our Tarantino Rankings 34:50 -- 10th Anniversary Re-View: Inglourious Basterds

It's a food fight on this week's episode, as we debate the relevance and charm of 2009's double-biopic Julie & Julia starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, which is a decade old this weekend. We also have Sam's late-breaking thoughts on the bonkers CGI-fest G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which is also celebrating its 10th anniversary. Bon Appetit. 01:00 - 10-year-old (depressing) news 03:30 - 10th Anniversary Review: Julie & Julia 1:00:45 - Guess The Tomato-Meter // Box Office & G.I. Joe

Sam, Eli and Kyle celebrate(?) the anniversary of comedy extraordinaire Judd Apatow's 10-year-old opus Funny People, which is inexplicably two and half hours long. There's certainly a lot of funny people here, but we discuss whether that adds up to a worthwhile experience. Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

Disney loves their talking animals, and in 2009 they reached their apex with the all-time classic that every single human on Earth remembers and adores, G-Force (duh, who doesn't know G-Force?) Stick around afterward our glowing look back at the seminal guinea pig spy movie, to review the polarizing new remake of that old, forgotten 1994 movie known as 'The Lion King'. 00:00 -- 10th Anniversary Review: G-Force 47:31 -- Review: The Lion King (2019 Remake) Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

Whether it was the books, the movies or just plain being around people, it's impossible for millennials to not have some relationship with Harry Potter. Sam, Kyle and Eli all bring different perspectives to the franchise as they discuss the 6th cinematic entry, which may just be one of the finest. 

Sam, Eli and special guest Monica discuss how well the flamboyantly gay Sacha Baron Cohen character Bruno (and his 10 year old film!) has aged, especially with the little old thing called gay marriage becoming federally mandated in the years between. Does this film effectively expose America's homophobia, or simply settle for the shock factor?

This week the boys go beyond the confines of 2009 to the 1930s, where Michael Mann's gangster drama "Public Enemies" takes place. Does Johnny Depp's performance as John Dillinger impress as he goes toe to toe with Christian Bale, or is there a reason this is one of 2009's lesser-known blockbusters?   00:00 -- Intro & The News (Michael Jackson, Al Franken, Steven Soderbergh's "Moneyball") 11:00 -- 10th Anniversary Re-Review: "Public Enemies"

It's just Kyle and Sam this week, having an intimate talk about an intimate war movie that just so happened to go on to win Best Picture: Katheryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker. We also sell out by talking a little bit about a much bigger movie (in terms of scale and money) -- a little 10-year-old blockbuster known as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: the most Trumpian movie of 2009? 00:00 -- Introduction 7:23 -- 10-year-old News: The Death of Michael Jackson 17:45 -- 10 year Re-Review: The Hurt Locker (and some Transformers)  

Sam and Eli are joined by our good friend Monica to discuss 2009's rom-com smash The Proposal (release date: June 19th, 2009) starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.  00:00 -- Introduction & 2009 News 08:57 -- The Proposal Review / Retrospective Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

On this week's show, Sam, Eli and Kyle take a break from our usual look at 2009's big summer blockbusters for a smaller, more cerebral film from director Duncan Jones (son of the late, great David Bowie).  Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

Some guys just can't handle Vegas. The three boys take a look back at three other boys being very bad and forgetful boys in The Hangover, a monumental smash-hit in the summer of 2009 that may or may not have lost substantial luster in the decade since. Our discussion is almost as unhinged as Ken Jeong's breakout performance. 00:00 -- Follow-"Up" from last week / Onward Teaser (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8DKg_fsacM) 08:45 -- 10 year old news! June 5th, 2009 11:25 -- The Hangover 10th Anniversary Retrospective 59:50 -- Guess the TomatoMeter!    

Sam and Kyle are joined by our friend Brandon to discuss a nostalgic classic upon its 10th anniversary: Disney/Pixar's Up. We discuss the obvious mastery that was put into this timeless film, but more surprising is how our opinions have changed over the decade - some for the better, some for the worse. Still, there's no denying that this is a testament to Pixar's power as an animation studio. Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

We use futuristic 2029 technology to beam ourselves back into the past in order to revisit 2009 and in particular the decade-old action flick Terminator Salvation, directed by McG and most famous for pissing off Christian Bale on set. It's a fascinating discussion, as Kyle had seen every Terminator film twice, Eli had never seen a Terminator film before, and Sam watched most of the series for the first time over the past week.  You can email us with questions/comments/anything (and WILL get a response) at youareoldthemovie@gmail.com.
