This week we watched 2005’s The Ice Harvest, a well casted Cohen Brothers clone. One of us enjoyed it, one of us did not. Place your bets now on who is who. We also get into celebrity as currency, rating systems, and Lil Bow Wow.

Must Love Dogs (2005)
A divisive move from the Cusack Cute Boys. 2005’s Must Love Dogs is a fairly standard Rom-Com of that era, but as you would expect this leads to larger conversations about media influence and how movies reflect our culture. I’m sure there’s other stuff I just can’t remember.
Runaway Jury (2003)
If you love trivia than this episode is for you. Otherwise take in the “riveting” thriller from 2003 Runaway Jury. A glorified episode of Law and Order based on a John Grisham novel. We watched it, we talked about it, we did our job.
The Jack Bull (1999)
No, you read that right. 1999. Listen, we’ve prided ourselves in the past on how through we are when it comes to this podcast. We watch every movie in order. But hey, sometimes you miss a TV movie. We’re sorry.
Carelessness aside, I think we were both pleasantly surprised with 1999’s The Jack Bull. A movie written by John Cusack’s dad, Dick Cusack. Some great character actors, beautiful scenery, and a pretty engaging story made this a fun movie to watch.
Identity (2003)
Identity, we all have one. But some of us. . . .don’t. Some of us have more than one. Ya ever think about that? Scary. This episode we talk aging, the artistic process, and the residents. We also talk about 2003’s Identity. It’s a movie alright.
