Ourtwocents Podcast

The bros once again step foot in the MCU to watch and review Spider-Man: Far From Home. The boys discuss how the film exceeded their expectations, what the movie did better than Homecoming, Watt's improved directing and what the movie did differently than the previous Spider-Man films that gave it its own unique flavor.

The bros are back with a review of one their most anticipated movies of the year, Midsommar. Chris and Admir discuss whether the movie's identity as a horror movie is accurate, Aster's brilliant directing and how the movie's inconsistent pacing and plot structure effect its execution.

It's an eventful episode this week as Admir makes his long awaited return from his hiatus. The bros discuss their mixed feelings about the show's decision to air the episodes during the Summer, how it successfully intertwines sentimental themes and technology in order to push the narrative forward and how the final episode prevents the season from being fully satisfying. 

In this week's episode, Chris and Stiven discuss one of the most popular shows on television, Rick and Morty. The two talk about why the show is more than just a comedy series, the possible future storylines that have been hinted at and analyze the dark and existential messages it presents.

With the absence of Admir, Chris and fellow comrade, Stiven, decide to introduce a new segment called "Anime Analysis", where the two review and discuss the Japanese anime, Deathnote. In this episode, the bros talk about the philosophical discussions the show encourages, the cat and mouse scenario between L and Light and the polarizing second half of the show that divided many of the fans.

After a one week hiatus, Admir returns after training with Keanu Reeves. The bros discuss the organic progression of the franchise that has made it stand out within the action genre and what the third movie missed out on that made the first two so beloved by fans.

It's the Game of Thrones finale and Admir is nowhere to be found. However, the show must go on and Chris has recruited fellow colleague, Stiven, in order to discuss the final episode of the biggest show in history. The two talk about what the finale did right, its missed opportunities and their overall thoughts on the most polarizing television season in history.

There's been some brewhaha in the Game of Thrones community after the latest episode, The Bells, the show's penultimate episode. Admir and Chris have once again scouted the Bronx King, Fahad, to try and bring some sense and normalcy to the discussion realm. The bros talk about what made the episode stand out this season as well as the Daenerys Targaryen trigger moment that has caused a polarizing reaction amongst fans. 

In a huge episode with guest Fahad joining the crew, the boys discuss "The Long Night". They pick apart key character moments, flesh out the epic scenes and debate just how effectively the Night King's reign was brought to an end. Although the boys mostly fall on appreciating the episode for what it was, too many cheap thrills and a lack of catharsis made for a questionable ending to Winter.

A colossal episode calls for colossal movements so Chris and Admir have recruited fellow brother, Fahad, to join the podcast this week. The bros discuss the biggest movie release in history as they talk about how the movie did in terms of wrapping up its storylines, which scenes stood out, the film's small pacing and structural issue and the last hour that could be defined as movie magic.

A week before the Battle of Winterfell, Admir and Chris get ready and discuss the last humane episode of the series. The two talk about the completed character arcs of Jaime, Brienne and Arya as well as a few plot holes and some structural inconsistency throughout the episode. Nonetheless, the bros applaud the episode on embracing its "calm before the storm" identity and delivering a satisfying farewell to the last bit of normalcy in Winterfell.

The boys take a break from film this week as full focus is placed on the titanic premier of Game of Thrones. The boys discuss how effectively the first episode of season 8 moves the chess pieces around Winterfell, debate whether Jon Snow or Sansa Stark is the better leader for the North and look forward to next weeks happenings.

After a week hiatus, Chris and Admir return to review another yet different type of movie in the DC universe, Shazam. The boys discuss their contrasting opinions while also pointing out some of the film's plot holes and its inconsistent humor as well as praising the film for having it's own identity.

On this week's episode, the duo discuss Jordan Peele's sophomore directorial efforts in "Us". The film has its unquestionable highpoint; the cast, anchored by the dominant Lupita Nyong'o gives a great performance and Peele's eye for a creepy shot never fails. However, the boys felt the film does have a few flaws, namely its willingness to fall back on humor to escape tension and its inconsistency in storytelling. Nonetheless, it is a formidable followup to Get Out that will have most viewers on edge for Peele's next horror chapter.

Chris leads Admir into this interrogation episode where the two give their grades for each movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They discuss what Marvel does well while also exploring the flaws that seem to be repetitive throughout most of the films.

It's the Season 2 premiere so the boys brought out the box office supplies and invited guest star, Hesham, to the studio so they can discuss the new superhero juggernaut film, Captain Marvel. Admir and Hesham discuss the standout moments of the movie, their disappointment in the untapped potential that it failed to live up to and how it fared with all of the attention around it, especially with Endgame around the corner.

In the Season 1 finale, Chris introduces a new segment called "How Hype?" to see how hyped Admir is for upcoming movies and shows of 2019.

As Hayes and West investigate critical clues that are discovered years later, the truth of the Purcell Case is finally revealed. Admir and Chris discuss the finale's positives and negatives, whether or not it did an adequate job tying up loose ends and their overall thoughts on the season as a whole.
