WIT enters the treehouse in the form of Witney Siebold, film critic and angel extraordinaire. His mere presence makes Gariana dance and snap her fingers, and Grae serenades him with Madonna songs. The three exchange repartee on Whatever Works and The Proposal, among much disagreement and heated debate.Zombieland seems to unite them, but the teaser for New Moon ignites a fire in Grae that causes muddled similes and lots and lots of yelling. Listen to hear details about Witney's family that are beyond uncomfortable, as well as what Gariana thinks is in a rape kit. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=77 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=76 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=76 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 12:00:00 -0400 The Popcorn Mafia http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=76 Joshua Lou Friedman, 1st Assistant Director extraordinaire, starts off the episode by "offending Gariana's people" and recounting tales of terror from his youth. It only picks up from there as they discuss Land of the Lost, along with Grae's insistence on retelling the story where she makes a pass at Marty Krofft. The Girlfriend Experience yields incredibly interesting but totally un-sexy discussion.

For every moment G2 bickers, he is there to bring it back to his brilliant point. The 3 dig deep into Away We Go and Drag Me to Hell and really have a kick ass discussion, thanks to their new charming taskmaster.

For every moment G2 bickers, he is there to bring it back to his brilliant point. The 3 dig deep into Away We Go and Drag Me to Hell and really have a kick ass discussion, thanks to their new charming taskmaster.But even he can't stop them from unraveling during Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans, which makes them reminisce about Harvey Keitel naked and Nic Cage on cable, and Jared makes sure that everyone says Shutter Island with proper diction. They are all a mess by the end of the episode, and Grae screams a lot. No really, everybody. A lot. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=75 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=74 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=74 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 12:00:00 -0400 The Popcorn Mafia http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=74 Lisa Paige Robinson is many things, including an actress, comedienne, movie lover, and a clairvoyant like Whoopi Goldberg in Ghost. Even though she claims she is not that nice a person (especially in grocery stores), Grae says Gariana is still much worse as evidenced by her continually judgmental behavior in the El Capitan movie theater in Los Angeles. All ladies send Pixar their love as they review Up, and then spend time discussing all of the things they would have rather been doing instead of watching Terminator Salvation.

After an extended conversation about dogs, melting butter, and jelly beans, Pontypool raises many questions and The Road makes them wonder if they would ever survive Armageddon. Also make sure to keep an ear out for Gariana sending love to everyone who attended and helped out with their live show. Seriously, she goes on and on about it. She loves you. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=74 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=73 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=73 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:00:00 -0400 The Popcorn Mafia http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=73 Hello mafiosi!

Bringing with him an encyclopedic knowledge of film AND cheesy poofs, Alonso drops some knowledge on G2. The trio delights in discussing Brothers Bloom because it allows them to maniacally repeat Rinko Kikuchi's name and talk about juggling chainsaws. Angels and Demons garners discussion about the Worst Papal Election Ever and gelato. Alonso Duralde is the real deal, people...so don't waltz into this podcast thinking otherwise.

Go ahead, don't be scared. Search inside yourself. And then go twitter about it or something. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=72 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=71 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=71 Sun, 17 May 2009 12:00:00 -0400 The Popcorn Mafia http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=71 When streetfighting and street vending collide, there lies Michael Monterastelli.

While DVD releases generally unimpress them, they do get super psyched over their upcoming live show at the end of May. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=71 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=70 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=70 Sun, 10 May 2009 12:00:00 -0400 The Popcorn Mafia http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=70 Grae reveals Dave Ciaccio's secret identity right off the bat and forces him to admit he has a problem with insomnia.

After declaring G2 narcs, he finally gets around to reviewing Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. The fun of slamming Matthew McConaughey smoothly segues into slamming Jim Jarmusch and Limits of Control. After Grae insists on demonstrating things that would be much better illustrated on a video podcast and Gariana shows off the zombie bite on her foot, Dave gets frightened and flat out refuses to have sex with a man just so G2 has a good picture to upload on their website. Humpday causes Grae to formulate a fantasy starring paper product mascots and American legends. Then Julie and Julia serves as the impetus for the worst Julia Child impersonations ever.And yes, the title of this podcast is nothing but the truth. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=70 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=69 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=69 Sun, 03 May 2009 12:00:00 -0400 The Popcorn Mafia http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=69 Jeff Smith took a break from hobnobbing with Hollywood's elite to watch Tyson and The Soloist with G2. This episode is chock full of insider stories: Jeff holds Mike Tyson's wad of cash, Grae invites Marty Krofft out for burritos, and Gariana just provides a lot of weird-sounding foley with her handkerchief that she keeps sneezing into.

This episode is chock full of insider stories: Jeff holds Mike Tyson's wad of cash, Grae invites Marty Krofft out for burritos, and Gariana just provides a lot of weird-sounding foley with her handkerchief that she keeps sneezing into. While they ponder Taking Woodstock, Jeff remains pleased that he turned them down for a job back in the day. 500 Days of Summer causes Grae to delve deep into her own melancholy while Gariana rejoices in the presence of cartoon birds.

While the three women ponder State of Play, Danielle shares her favorite writing device used by stupid screenwriters, and then Gariana launches into an angry tirade over Crank High Voltage. Danielle mentions something pressing that kept her from watching the first 30 seconds of the film, and Grae gives herself a new stripper name.All 3 wonder if Facing Ali is gonna make them feel "up against the ropes," and then Paper Heart makes them all mushy and sentimental. Listen to find out what happens with Grae and Gariana watch films on an airplane, and what to shout in order to get your way. Oh yeah, and Danielle also calls herself a theater fag. In a classy way. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=68 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=67 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=67 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 12:00:00 -0400 The Popcorn Mafia http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=67 Sure, Sarah Buster is here to raise the hotness quotient in the treehouse. But she's ALSO here to discuss the menu of Chik-Fil-A and sense the vibrations of fruit salad. Sure, Sarah Buster is here to raise the hotness quotient in the treehouse. But she's ALSO here to discuss the menu of Chik-Fil-A and sense the vibrations of fruit salad. During their heated discussion of Observe & Report, she also provides Grae with another opportunity to provide foley for the show (you're welcome). When they roll around to Knowing, they ponder life with deaf kids and why it's awesome to not ride public transportation.Grae gets bored during their discussion about The Hurt Locker, and they all join her in BoredomTown when they talk about Astroboy. Listen to see whose name Gariana mispronounces for the 700th time, and what exactly goes on at Sarah Buster's stage shows. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=67 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=66 http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=66 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 12:00:00 -0400 The Popcorn Mafia http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=66 Ryan Hedge takes time off from planning the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival of Santa Barbara to come and drive Gariana to madness. Despite Grae's warnings that Gariana will actually end his life, he continues forward boldly by trying to make them rent awful films and doing terrible aristocratic accents. Grae shares all of the life lessons that Fast & Furious taught her. Adventureland doesn't impress them all, but Gariana certainly does when she describes how she fought the law...and the law won.

The Story of Anvil brings out the Rock God in all of them, and Easy Virtue spawns much conversation about WWII and giving people "the bees' knees."

Monsters vs. Aliens and Race to Witch Mountain are under the microscope this week, and although the episode is geared towards children's films, the content of this recording is probably the least kid-friendly they have ever done.

Monsters vs. Aliens and Race to Witch Mountain are under the microscope this week, and although the episode is geared towards children's films, the content of this recording is probably the least kid-friendly they have ever done. The trio ponders food falling from the sky in Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and then loses their collective minds over Where the Wild Things Are. It appears as though, in a full year of bringing you cinematic musings, Grae is still kind of slutty, Gariana still can't speak Spanish, and neither one of them really pay attention to what their guest has to say. Rejoice in the familiarity, mafiosi. http://www.popcornmafia.com/podcast.php?id=65
