NEW EPISODE: The Fogies watched Million Dollar Baby! This is what Aric thought Boxing Helena was about. Boy, was he wrong. Not exactly a “title” “match.” Except for that one scene. The movie completes a theme with Ruth’s first movies of S1 & S2, The Intouchables and Me Before You.

NEW EPISODE: Sin-Dee Rella has a Prince, but he’s not what you might picture. And technically her romantic rival is the one that loses a shoe.

The movie completes a tasty theme with Aric’s first movies of S1 and S2, A Clockwork Orange and The Fruit Machine.

NEW EPISODE: School may be out for the holiday, but the Fogies are back in session with our first episode of Season 3: Teacher!

BONUS EPISODE: See the world—or at least airport-gift-shop-postcard versions of it—with the Fogies and our special guests, Max and Violet! The mischievous and Chipettes get carried away, literally, into a global diamond-smuggling ring. But we wouldn’t trade these cuddly critters for all the cash-stuffed dolls in the world.

GUESS WHAT! Was there anything better as kids than getting a box of candy and a soda at the movies with our families? Season 3 doesn’t start until November, but we’ve got a very special bonus episode coming your way soon. We quadragenarian kids at heart watched a childhood favorite and discussed it with some kids at, er, reality. Join us Friday for 1987’s The Chipmunk Adventure!

SEASON FINALE: Like syphilis, Florence’s joie de vivre is contagious. The Fogies were dazzled, charmed, and swept away in a crescendo of cringe.

NEW EPISODE: Tar is a quagmire. And the titular TÁR’s life has become one. The truth will out: “Time is the thing” as Lydia Tár herself says. Ironically, *runtime* is what most Fogies took issue with.

NEW EPISODE: They gave each other just enough to hang themselves with. The Fogies watched Rope! Inviting a third into the relationship is often more than a couple can survive, especially if they murder him together.

NEW EPISODE: People usually put on a pervy mustache to go incognito, but this guy shaved his off! That’s right, it’s Donnie Brasco, the cutest member of the boy band known as The Mafia. He sang like a canary though, or rather a stool pigeon, and that’s all he wrote. (Based on a book.)

NEW EPISODE: Bad taste can be hard to swallow, if you still have a gag reflex like most of the Fogies. We were hoisted with our own petard watching Tromeo & Juliet! The Fogies subjected themselves to many beasts with two backs, and a couple children with three faces. To thou and thine who perpend this ravin endeavor, we wish you luck.

NEW EPISODE: The Fogies watched Mike Flanagan’s Hush! Let’s be fair, if you move to an isolated house in the woods alone, you’re asking for it, right?? Sorry, we don’t mean to blame the victim. NB: The irony is not lost on us that this is a podcast episode for a movie with a deaf main character.

NEW EPISODE: Billy, don’t be a hero. Nah, forget it, Billy is the GOAT. Disaster may have been averted in the movie, but the Fogies had a BLAST with this one! If you’re a terrorist, these students are gonna school ya.
