THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980)
The Film Bros
06/03/24 • 94 min
Bros... we are your father.
Just kidding. But we ARE talking about the second Star Wars movie (which is also the fifth episode of-- you know what, just go with it), THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! And, as with last time, we are joined by Boyfriend of the Pod, Paul, to discuss Luke's training timeline, the tenuous consent line of Leia and Han's flirtationship, and Stephs irrational and out of pocket loathing of our beloved Yoda.

12 ANGRY MEN (1957)
The Film Bros
03/31/25 • 104 min
Angry men?? What else is new!
That's an example of the pithy, topical comedy you can expect from the Bros, but don't worry -- there's PLENTY to joke, rage, mourn, and ponder about when discussing Sidney Lumet's feature film directorial debut, 12 ANGRY MEN! Along the way, we discuss the importance of rehearsal, the UTTER PERFECTION of the script, and, of course, the depressingly ever-present need for a story like this.
IF YOU SO CHOOSE, Alex would love to invite donations to her KICKSTARTER for her upcoming LA Fringe show! Thank you!
