From her jaw harp solos, to her ability to consistently elevate mediocre fare to something approaching quality, to her delivery of lines about eating dog food, this multi-talented performer wins our hearts again and again. So we’ve decided to honor her with a Gershon-A-Thon! Join us as we discuss Bound (1996) and House of Versace (2013) this week on Ex Rated!

Episode 29 It's Such a Beautiful Day

June 19, 2017 / Matt Fisher

Talking about the work of Don Hertzfeldt is like dancing about architecture. But we give it a go anyway with his emotional and ambitious feature length, It’s Such A Beautiful Day (2012). This episode also marks Ryan’s first foray into surly curmudgeonism as he rails against the government, the church, and leaf blowers. Join us as we go full get-off-our-lawn on Ex Rated!

Episode 27 Take This Waltz

June 05, 2017 / Matt Fisher

This week we discussed Sarah Polley’s color-saturated exploration of romance and its pitfalls, Take This Waltz (2011). Why won’t Tom Hiddleston return our emails? Why would Ryan voluntarily watch a fat harvesting documentary? Why does Matt have a squid beak “down there”? Answers to these questions and a sensational plate-spinning act on this episode of Ex Rated

Episode 26 The Grand Budapest Hotel

May 29, 2017 / Matt Fisher

Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) is a magnificent spectacle of a farce that delights as it dazzles. It’s our sincere pleasure to talk about it. You’re invited to be an earwitness to us imagining Tilda Swinton helming her own Disneyland-ride-based movie franchise and the lengths Matt will go in order to get a bootleg copy of Feist covering Leonard Cohen. Ex Rated: Blowing the lid off Big Eye since 2017.

Episode 25 The American Astronaut

May 22, 2017 / Matt Fisher

Buckle up kids, we’re watching The American Astronaut (2001). It’s a criminally underrated cowboy space musical with daddy issues and an oddball sense of humor. Also discussed: the winning formula of sitcoms, Terry Gilliam’s rudeness, and Ryan’s latest phrenological diagnosis. It’s the first NAMBLA approved episode of Ex Rated!

May 15, 2017 / Matt Fisher

Get out your hankies, it’s time to watch Starting Again aka Tears and Laughter: The Joan and Melissa Rivers Story starring Joan and Melissa Rivers (1994). It’s a made-for-TV docudrama with a bad case of Julie and Julia syndrome.

Episode 23 Pacific Rim

May 08, 2017 / Matt Fisher

For a healthy dose of giant robots fighting giant monsters, look no further than Guillermo Del Toro’s better-than-most blockbuster attempt, Pacific Rim (2013). Matt fawns over Charlie Hunnam, Ryan experiences a double event, and the English language fails weed eaters. Ex Rated: Our Nihilism’s Up!

Episode 22 Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

May 01, 2017 / Matt Fisher

If you like to see beautiful girls driving fast sports cars and breaking jockulatory-type he-men men’s spines then Russ Meyer’s Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) is right up your alley. Apart from discussing the movie, we consider some future roles for Liv Tyler, speculate on Oprah’s unrequited love, and invent another crappy superpower. Ex Rated: Our motor never runs down, baby!

Episode 21 Big Fan

April 24, 2017 / Matt Fisher

We’re back! Join us as we take a look at the Patton Oswald-starring existential dark comedy, Big Fan (2009). Is Jennifer Coolidge a suitable replacement for Ryan? How about McGruff the crime dog? Jerry Seinfeld, ’N Sync, and the ghost of Jumpin’ Joe DiMaggio are all invoked on this high stakes, season premiere episode of Ex Rated!
