Brunch

You may not have asked for a gritty interpretation of the Winnie the Pooh franchise, but you've got it in 'Cristopher Robin' -- a movie that BRUNCH is somewhat split on. We've got yet another unexpected MoviePass update. Is Zac Efron's brother hotter than Zac Efron? Let's discuss.  -- Get a four-week trial of Stamps.com using promo code 'BRUNCH' Get a free Home Try-On kit from Warby Parker at www.warbyparker.com/BRUNCH Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch Twitter/Instagram: @ListenToBrunch

MoviePass is dead (to us) and we're officially an AMC Stubs A-List podcast now. We may or may not be pissing ourselves in movie theaters. Is it correct to say Miles Teller is "too ugly to be Batman?" Meryl Streep: Overrated, or really overrated? Christine Baranski is our new high kickin' overlord. -- Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch Get $20 off your contacts at www.simplecontacts.com/brunch20 Get your free Warby Parker home try-on kit at www.warbyparker.com/brunch  

The Bad Boys absolutely love Mission Impossible 2. DJ is won over by Jamie Dornan's performance before learning that Jamie Dornan was not in the film. 

PLOT TWIST: Plastic straws are good! Diarrhea Planet is breaking up and Pete is very upset. We discuss some ideas to fix Shark Week and debate when summer is actually over. -- Get a 4-week trial from Stamps.com using promo code 'BRUNCH'

It's finally here! 'Mamma Mia 2' (starring Lily James and Amanda Seinfeld) has arrived in theaters, and MY GOODNESS IT'S INCREDIBLE! We review & discuss the delightful sequel, plus hit on some new music and Jimmy Garoppolo going on a date with a porn star. -- Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch Get a trial month of HIMs for $5: www.forhims.com/brunch Get a free Home Try-On kit from Warby Parker: www.warbyparker.com/BRUNCH Get a four-week trial of Stamps.com -- including postage and a digital scale -- by going to Stamps.com and entering promo code 'BRUNCH'

At long last we got to feast our eyes on 'Skyscraper,' which is a fire movie with just a little less fire than 'Baywatch.' DJ also saw 'Sorry To Bother You' and came away a little disappointed. Father John Misty saved a woman's life. The trailer for season three of Insecure has a very notable absence.  -- Get a four-week trial of Stamps.com with promo code 'BRUNCH' Get $20 off your first Simple Contacts order at www.simplecontacts.com/brunch Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

Zac Efron made a dreadful choice and a years-old Jason Bateman movie has QUITE the twist. 

The prequel to 'The Purge' has NO CLUE WHAT IT'S DOING. Jeff Lowe joins to discuss all things Purge/Blumhouse/MoviePass.

Pete follows through on his promise and comes back from Aruba as (still) a blonde. The boys see 'Sicario 2' and have differing opinions of it, though neither is wildly impressed. At the request of listeners, the topic of "big dick energy" is regretfully discussed. Five Guys treats its customers like absolute animals.  -- Get your free home try-on kit from Warby Parker: www.warbyparker.com/brunch Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

Creed week/month/szn continues with a deep dive into what the name of a movie is. 

DJ has the opposite of seasonal depression, as he now gets sad in the summer. This has rubbed off on Pete, who has normal seasonal depression and now is depressed for the winter, spring and potentially summer. We also saw the new Jurassic World movie!

Some wedding & chicken fingers talk precedes our review of 'Tag,' a very fun movie that goes off the rails and to some very uncomfortable places. (Non spoiler review starts at 20:15, spoilers come at 46:25.) Also, we discuss Kyrie Irving's new song, which is hot hot heat. -- WE HAVE NEW SECRET MERCH Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch   

We say what's wrong with toxic masculinity, which we accidentally confused with sexism, then realized what toxic masculinity is, then said what's wrong with toxic masculinity. 

DJ discovers he has a very unfortunate birthday twin and is also enamored with George Clooney. We are not good at money management! We wanted to pretend we saw 'Ocean's 8' but forgetfully abandoned the bit about a minute into it. Pete admits he's intimidated of Rihanna's sexuality while Deej basks in the limelight of looking sorta like someone she (might of) had sex with.  --  Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

Stop washing your jeans, and get them tailored while you're at it. Do people wear clothes straight out of the dirty laundry? We watched My Big Fat Spanish Bachelorette Work Trip (aka 'Ibiza' on Netflix) and had very differing opinions on it. -- Support the show on Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

We've taken the show outside. It was distracting. All in all, probably just an OK episode. 

The new CHVRCHES album is... very good! New Zealand comedian/pop musician/podcast host Paul Williams joins the show to discuss his many talents and the end of the Celtics season.

Lamorne Morris quickly becomes the third Bad Boy of Podcasting, discussing the NBA, New Girl, the NFL's ridiculous new anthem policy and Kyle Chandler's sweatiness. He also calls dear friend Chris Witaske a real "piece of shit." 

We saw Book Club and it checked a lot of our boxes. Presidential portraits are too sexual. PLUS the shocking conclusion to our picnic game.

All the bad boys want is a New Zealand basketball guest but they can't find one :(
