Oct 14, 2019Bad Times at the El Royale – Brokebot Mountain – 101
01:05:10
David and Phil take off on a road trip this week and all goes well until they need to stop for the night. They can’t decide whether to sleep in Nevada or California, so they split the difference, finding an odd little motel right on the border. What could go wrong? We’ll find out when they discuss the 2018 mystery/crime drama Bad Times at the El Royale. The BBM Crew will be caught on tape as they discuss obvious heaven and hell metaphors, Jeff Bridge’s transformation into an old west sheriff/Tom Waits, and, of course, Jon Hamm. It’s a fun trip until the cult shows up on this episode of Brokebot Mountain.

Sep 06, 2019Barry Season 2 – Brokebot Mountain – 100
01:09:12
The Brokebot Mountain Crew celebrates their centennial episode by… just talking some more. David and Phil continue their discussion of HBO’s Barry by jumping into Season 2 and the themes it explores. The guys take a look at whether or not Barry is a sympathetic character, the undeniable charm of NoHo Hank, and, of course, the Ronny/Lily episode… All this and a lot more all about Barry on this episode of Brokebot Mountain.

Sep 02, 2019Barry Season 1 – Brokebot Mountain – 99
01:00:29
The Brokebot Mountain Crew takes a wide turn away from their science fiction roots this week as Phil and David jump into talking about a show that they’re simply huge fans of, HBO’s dark comedy series Barry. They guys focus on Season 1 this week and discuss the incredible cast and the fully realized characters they play, try to decode what makes this brand of comedy so compelling, and they try to keep from simply spiraling into quoting the show for an hour. It’s a great discussion of a wholly unique show on this new episode of Brokebot Mountain.

Aug 25, 2019Snowpiercer – Brokebot Mountain – 98
01:13:28
David and Phil welcome Nicole Davis of the Movie-Go-Round podcast to chime in on a movie these three are long overdue to have a discussion about: 2013’s sci-fi post-apocalyptic literal train-ride Snowpiercer. They discuss the suspension of disbelief, theme vs scientific accuracy in sci-fi, and the nightmare that is post-apocalyptic protein bars. Plus, the return of Octavia Spencer to Brokebot Mountain! Listen to every word of this great discussion or we’ll all freeze and die!!

Jul 19, 2019Pacific Rim: Uprising – Brokebot Mountain – 97
01:01:26
David and Phil are both fans of the original Pacific Rim, so when the sequel Pacific Rim: Uprising showed up on a streaming service, it seemed like an natural pick for them to make sure they had fun watching something for BBM. Things… did not go to plan. Hear the guys talk about a lot of things that aren’t this movie as they run down rabbit holes and tangents in an attempt to discuss something interesting because, for reasons they cannot explain, a movie about giant robots and giant monsters was not able to meet that criteria.

Jul 02, 2019Love Death & Robots – Brokebot Mountain – 96
01:05:15
A new animated anthology series caught the attention of Phil and David, so they jumped into what turned out to be a very mixed bag that is Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots. The guys talk about animation styles, Buddhism metaphors in sci-fi, and why Hitler cartoons are not entertaining. There’s a love/hate relationship going on between this series and the BBM Crew on this episode of Brokebot Mountain.

Jun 25, 2019Hang the DJ – Brokebot Mountain – 95
01:02:21
David and Phil try not to look at the clock as the time on this episode ticks away, putting pressure on this episode to be better than it could ever be… then they try to escape the podcast system by climbing over a wall so they can talk about Black Mirror forever. The BBM Crew gets into the future of dating apps with this great Season 4 episode of the series: Hang the DJ.

Jun 10, 2019Umbrella Academy- Brokebot Mountain – 94
01:04:58
This week, Phil and David put their complicated family history aside to focus on the common goal of figuring out time travel logic, obvious bad guys, and some surprisingly deep character studies as they talk about Netflix’s adaptation of the comic book Umbrella Academy.

May 27, 2019Bandersnatch – Brokebot Mountain – 93
00:57:40
The Brokebot Mountain Crew gets all interactive on your asses when they jump headfirst into Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. David and Phil discuss whether the “Choose Your Own Adventure” style is the future of storytelling, whether choosing the wrong cereal will cause your entire life to unravel, and why you shouldn’t drop acid with video game programmers. The guys always have a great time taking Black Mirror episodes apart, so enjoy them trying to make sense of a story that they had a hand in!

May 20, 2019Mars Attacks! – Brokebot Mountain – 92
00:58:33
David and Phil go back to the 90s to visit the movie that barely wins out over The Garbage Pail Kids to claim the title “Greatest Film Based on Trading Cards”… that’s right, they watched the 1996 sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks! The guys discuss one of the most star-studded casts of all time, where this movie fits into Tim Burton’s overall filmography, and why Tom Jones is the hero we deserve. It’s a fun conversation about a fun and all-too-often forgotten Burton movie.
