Episode Notes

Welcome back to Part 2, the finale, of the FANCY Halloween Movie Spectacular. I would again like to sincerely thank my guests, Abby, John, and Jen for watching a bunch of Halloween movies and chatting with me about them for a looooooong time. As I mention in the intro, this episode begins with more talk with all four of us, and then a brief chat with just Jen and me, and then finally I wrap it up with my thoughts on the movies that I alone watched, including most importantly Deadly Friend and Magic Magic.

The theme music is "Downtown" by deeB, from the Internet Archive.

Episode Notes

Oooooh boy. Happy Halloween! I did things differently this year for the mega-discussion of scary movies, and it resulted in this behemoth. It's a great discussion with multiple people, including Abby, Johnny, and Jen! But hoo boy it will take a while to listen to. Enjoy!

Episode Notes

Welcome to the annual discussion of the Oscar Best Picture nominees, and joining in the discussion, as usual, is Jen. There were ten nominees! So much to discuss! Two quick warnings heading into this one: 1) There are some mild spoilers throughout, so skip the entire discussion for that movie, based on the timestamps below, if you're sensitive about spoilers. There's only one particularly big spoiler, which is for Nightmare Alley, and so I've specially tagged that one. 2) Jen and I are somewhat down on the movies this year, and so it's not all singing praises. But we really liked a couple of them!

Here are the timestamps for you to carefully navigate the episode if you choose:

Intro: 0:00:00 to 0:01:32 Dune: 0:01:32 to 0:06:26 Nightmare Alley: 0:06:26 to 0:12:15 PARTICULARLY SPOILER-Y NIGHTMARE ALLEY PART: 0:09:22 to 0:12:15 Don't Look Up: 0:12:15 to 0:19:38 Power of the Dog: 0:19:38 to 0:26:10 West Side Story: 0:26:10 to 0:32:14 King Richard: 0:32:14 to 0:38:17 Drive My Car: 0:38:17 to 0:46:42 Belfast: 0:46:42 to 0:49:50 Licorice Pizza 0:49:50 to 1:03:58 CODA: 1:03:58 to 1:29:05 (but Licorice Pizza tangent 1:15:12 to 1:17:17) Viewing Omission Regrets: 1:29:05 to 1:33:49 Closing 1:33:49 to 1:34:15

As always, the intro music is a minimal version of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Database. Thanks for listening!

Episode Notes

Please join Johnny and me for the second half of our incredibly lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable, discussion about Groundhog Day. In this installment we finally get around to talking about our favorite and least favorite parts of the movie, the message of the movie, and also a truly unfortunate video game adaptation.

As always the theme song is a modified version of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Database. The other audio clips and sound effects are used for commentary purposes and fun and constitute fair use and whatnot and please don't sue me for making this for the ten people who listen.

Thanks and have a good one!

Episode Notes

Join me as I try to continue my streak of holiday-themed movie discussions with what is arguably one of the best, most consistent holiday genres--Groundhog Day movies. I am joined by good friend and fellow time loop fan Johnny Rhoads and we . . . pretty much never stop talking about Groundhog Day and time loop media in general. Our conversation went so long that this very long podcast is not even close to the whole discussion, and I will be putting out part two soon. In the meantime, happy Groundhog Day, and go watch Groundhog Day!

As always the theme is a modified version of Reflections by Anti-Pop Consortium. Clips from Groundhog Day and the Making of Groundhog Day are my attempts at fair use. Byeeeeee!

Episode Notes

Please enjoy this very timely double-feature episode with Jen. We talk about our two picks for holiday movies: The Family Stone and Scrooged. One of us, I won't say who, is a Scrooge about Scrooged!

Here are some timestamps if you just want to check out certain discussions:

Intro: 0:00:00 to 0:01:41 The Family Stone: 0:01:41 to 0:40:36 Scrooged: 0:40:36 to 01:08:49 Outro: 01:08:49 to 01:09:50

Happy . . . holidays . . . everybody? I hope you enjoy our chat.

As always, the theme song is a remixed version of Reflections by Anti-Pop Consortium, from the Free Music Archive. Byeeee!

Episode Notes

Please enjoy this looooong discussion with the excellent guest John Rhoads about the terrible movie Jingle All the Way. Seriously this episode is like five minutes shorter than the movie itself. I apologize for: 1) this coming out way after Christmas, and 2) kind of a lot of background noise. I hope you still enjoy it! Or just save this one and revisit it during Christmas 2022.

As always, the theme song is a modified version of Reflections by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Archive. There are various clips from Jingle All the Way and interviews in this episode and I'm gonna go ahead and claim fair use what with all our insightful commentary.

Thanks and have a good one!

Episode Notes

Welcome to the (sort of) next installment of the FANCY Fantasy Football Podcast that is not at all about fantasy football. In the (sort of) start of a series of episodes about holiday movies, this episode is a long chat with returning guest Abby Saul, who selected The Holiday. My sincerest apologies to my previous guest Alex, with whom I had a lovely chat about Elf, but I failed to record the discussion. Oof.

Anyway, as always, please enjoy and let me know what you think. The theme song is a modified version of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium. There's also a couple of clips in this episode and, uhh, I am calling fair use because of our discussion adding context and analysis.

Have a good one!
