New Year, same old pod. Given recent controversies over whitewashing and diversity in film, the boys (one Asian, one Jewish) dive into the history of whitewashing and racism in film. From Al Jolson in burnt cork, to Mr Yunioshi, and of course the hullabaloo over Ghost in the Shell, we try to suss out the roots and notable instances throughout the years. It's not just a black and white issue folks! Plus: Antoine Griezmann in full blackbody, Assassin's Creed and the inconsistent accents, White Euros playing Arabs, Fu Manchu/Charlie Chan dichotomy, evolution of South Asian stereotypes, and ambiguously ethnic actors.

Continuing despite the onslaught of technical difficulties... The boys are back with the Freddy Mercury/Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody." From Zoroastrian maxims to hush-hush gay sex in truck stops to recording studio drama and finally the smash Live Aid performance, the movie was a treat for fans even if the critics were polarized and some facts didn't add up. Note this does not mean we endorse Bryan Singer. Plus: Scenes that should have been in the movie, Lucy Boynton looking like a mf snacc, Rami Malek as the Next Big Thing, Mike Myers, and more!…
Continuing our series on James Bond. We talk about the longest Bond film yet and Bond going to the Orient! Thunderball is probably best remembered for being super long and having underwater fight scenes, but it's not bad (in fact one of us likes it a whole lot.) You Only Live Twice however...has a good song and was written by Roald Dahl. And sorry for the audio quality, Apple sucks diiiiiiiiiiick Also: Japanese Bond, wrestlers in the franchise, four production units, honorary Sicilians, and more!…
Welcome back to our series on the Bond franchise. We talked about the first three movies in the franchise that kick-started a global phenomenon. Dr. No may be a little rough around the edges but From Russia with Love and Goldfinger are still all-time classics. Plus: Billy Joel lyrics, Turkish Oil Wrestling, John Oates's Private Eyes, Choosing Oddjob is cheating, A Dog Named N-Word, and many more!…
Strap yourselves in, we're talking Bond! The boys talk about the long-lasting spy franchise James Bond. Particularly, the drama surrounding Bond 25, due out next year (perhaps.) We discuss Danny Boyle's exit, why the last movie wasn't so hot, next steps for the franchise, and pore over the list of potential Bonds! Plus: Villains, Shir Shean, how franchises survive, and many more!…
Going back to Hong Kong baybee! One final episode to close off World Cup fever, the boys look at the surprise Stephen Chow smash: Shaolin Soccer. Visually intense, it was rough to talk about the movie while trying to do the action justice. Along the way we manage to question the casting direction (in a good way.) Also this episode is (mostly) unedited because it was short enough already.…
World Cup fever still not subsiding? The boys got you covered with a Stallone deep cut: Escape to Victory! This 1981 film unites Sly, Michael Caine, Max von Sydow, Pele, and host of other soccer greats in a movie very loosely based on a true story. A POW team plays a German team in a propaganda football match at the height of WWII. Featuring all the classic WWII movie tropes of: the Nazi with an eyepatch, French Resistance woman, prison escapes, and British officers playing cards. Plus: Other odd pairings, My Cocaine as Ebenezer Scrooge, West Ham United, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Clemmons, and more!…
The boys talk about the first ever Rambo movie and the most surprising: First Blood. Unlike the sequels, First Blood is more of a drama about a Vietnam Vet with PTSD being treated like ass by small-town cops. A movie way ahead of its time and sadly not as fondly remembered as its sequels. Also: Bollywood Rambo, Hard-R movies turned into Children's Cartoons, RIP Anthony Bourdain, Kojima, and Asian Expendables!…
The boys are back with a look at the Cannes Film Festival: the snootiest, high-falutinest film festival there is. We take a look at the history of the event, notable movies that have won, 2018's entries for the Palme d'Or, and of course the controversies! Plus: The meaning of the French tricolors, racism, Steve Harvey, and Solo!…
QUESTIONS LIKE THIS EPISODE XXVIII THE BOYS tackle STAR WARS. A franchise in existence for over FORTY years, they try to pinpoint exactly when did it start to SUCK. From the most recent SEQUEL TRILOGY to the ORIGINAL TRILOGY and every EXPANDED UNIVERSE release in between, it turns out there is a lot of suck in the CANON. Tackling REYLO, resurrected actors, PREQUELS, and of course the STEREOTYPES that George loves so much, you're in for an ACTION-PACKED episode of the pod. Also, if you are the person behind the fanart I'm using as the episode cover please send me an email and I'll credit you! questionslikethispod@gmail.com…
Avengers Disassemble! After ten years of movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes to a head with Infinity War. Thanos finally gets off his ass and forces Cap, Doc Strange, Groot, and Spoder Man to work together. Does it live up to the hype? Actually yeah, it's good folks, leaving the boys to wonder who will actually watch the Ant-Man 2 movie after this one. Plus: Sexy Aunt May, Michael "I got mouth cancer from eating bwussy" Douglas, not watching previous installments, other ambitious crossovers, 3 Dev Adam and a lot more! Find out if you survived Thanos by checking this site: http://www.didthanoskill.me…
This is it, the absolute nadir of Spielberg: Ready Player One. From the incredibly generic, fresh off the assembly line shit story, to the insufferable "I recognize that!" cinematography, we gut this Reddit wet-dream and leave nothing unexamined. Fulfilling a prophecy from a previous episode, one of the boys walked out of this movie! Plus: Borrowed nostalgia, Nickelodeon woes, easter eggs, Jean Baudrillard, and more!…
I guess this can officially be the start of season 2 of the show. The boys try to find out why exactly is Netflix producing and releasing so many high-profile shitty movies and cancelling 15 series at once despite being the most ubiquitous streaming service on Earth (and Elon Musk's secret Martian colony.) Also: Suncoast Videos, Governator, Aziz I'm Sorry, Jared Leto's mystifying continued existence, and no more closing songs :(…
We're not really good at this weekly thing are we? Anyway, two movies with good leads (Alicia Vikander and Jennifer Lawrence) that have a whole mess of issues that add up to two mostly nothing movies, including a historic first for one of us! Also, this will probably be the last one with outro music, I don't want to deal with anymore disputes. Eat my ass in hell, overly litigious copyright holders. Plus: Joel Edgerton, upcoming hot messes, Assassin's Creed, directors who are coasting, The New (Old) Cold War, and lots more!…
This is not a new track, just a reupload since the earlier version got DMCA'd. Otherwise, this is the exact same episode just without the track at the end. I don't remember the episode description so...enjoy(?)
Lively up de sound system masta selectah and pass de chalice roun' On this *timely* episode of Questions Like This, the boys round up the best movies about the Winter Olympics and conclude that Cool Runnings is the best underdog movie of all. We also talk about I, Tonya and a couple of others, but we mostly talked about how the Winter Olympics suck and their sports are dumb. Bumbaclot Plus: Star Wars deep cuts, stage moms, William Fichtner types, State Camp 75 for the Commissar's Skating Team, Watch the Throne, and more!…
