The lads are taking a week off to mourn the loss of the recently departed Chinese Balloon. A weird mustachio'd purveyor of chips once said: "Once you pop, the fun don't stop." We now know the ghastly truth far too late: once you pop, the fun, does indeed, stop. The Chinese Balloon will be missed by all, but especially by Cool Voltaire, who will now never be topped due to the fun-stopped pop. &...

On this month's Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads experience the slow-burn and exquisite delights of watching a Belgian woman do chores in Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Is this newly crowned top of the Sight and Sound Top 100 List a Fancy Feast? Or does its painstaking dedication to the brutality of homemaking make it a Failure to Fancy? Okay, normally we like to play coy about this but holy shit we loved this movi...

Hello! As our following continues to grow, we've been hard at work coming up with more ideas for cool stuff to do in the new year. So here's what we've decided on.
First, we will begin streaming weekly on Thursdays. We're also gonna try to have two or all three of us on rather than just Josh whenever possible. To start, we're going to block out 6-9pm ET every Thursday, starting this week (the 12th). We're going to get started with Pentiment, as...

On this month's episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., our intrepid budding cinephiles experience the most aggressively French Christmas ever devised as they review Arnaud Desplechin's A Christmas Tale (2008). Do the sumptuous performances and shifts in style make this movie a fancy feast? Or does the convoluted plotting and relentless ennui make it a failure to fancy? Either way, one thing's for sure: nobody's leaving until Catherine Deneuve gets her bone...

As we near the holidays, we wanted to let you know that we'll be taking a two-week break from recording at the end of this year to rest and recover. With that said, we want to keep delivering something to listen to each week, so here's what you can expect for the rest of December.
The lads hop into their fighter planes and get trapped in the world’s most boring love triangle as they are suddenly and deliberately attacked by Michael Bay’s much-maligned historical epic: Pearl Harbor. Topics include Bay’s deeply uncurious filmmaking, the interminable three-hour run time, and the responsibilities of artists when tackling historical fiction.
