  • Best Holiday Movies, Star Wars Hot Takes: CAN’T WAIT! Podcast Ep. 6

    CAN'T WAIT! Podcast Ep. 6 - Best Holiday Movies, Star Wars Hot TakesThis week on “CAN’T WAIT!”, Tim Hayne, Tony Maccio, Rachel Horner, and Phil Pirrello chat a bit about Netflix‘s new offline-viewing capability (pay us, Netflix!) and nerd out over the “Alien: Covenant” post and release date change. Tony makes the mistake of mentioning “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” which sends Phil and Rachel into a hot take-fueled tailspin. As a result, Tim feels left out and uncomfortable, while Tony sits alone in his regret.

    After an awkward segue, the conversation turns to holiday movies. Yay! We discuss our all-time favorite holiday flicks — some traditional and some not-so-traditional — with a few controversial picks in the mix. In the end, Tim reveals his Hallmark movie-loving inner 80-year-old, Rachel re-commits to “Grinch“-mas, Phil makes a startling Peanuts-related confession, and Tony just wants everyone to have a “White Christmas.”

    At the end of the podcast, Tim, Phil, Rachel, and Tony play Secret Santa, with each picking a name out of a hat. The Secret Santas then will gift (more like assign) a holiday movie to the giftee, who will watch it in preparation for the next episode. Be sure to tune in next time, when those picks — and more hot takes — will be revealed.

  • Oscar Talk, Kenneth Lonergan Interview: CAN’T WAIT! Podcast Ep. 5

    Oscar Talk, Kenneth Lonergan Interview CAN'T WAIT! Podcast Ep 5So many Oscar contenders, so little time.

    In this week’s nearly Rachel Horner-free episode of CAN’T WAIT!, the Moviefone crew (Tim Hayne, Phil Pirrello, and Tony Maccio) do their best to filter through the onslaught of current Oscar frontrunners and come up with some best guesses as to who and what will be nominated. (Spoiler alert: All categories belong to the 1995 comedy classic “Heavyweights.” Not really, but you’ll get the reference if you listen to the podcast.)

    Director Kenneth Lonergan joins the podcast in the midst of our Oscars analysis, chatting with Phil about topics ranging from his Oscar-buzz-worthy “Manchester by the Sea” to his love of “Star Trek” and how it plays into the Casey Affleck-starring drama. Phil may or may not have called him Kenny. Also, apologies for the audio quality this time around — we’re still working out a few kinks with the on-location sessions.

    After mentioning a few more Academy Award-worthy movies that we haven’t seen but would like to at some point in our lives, we venture into recommendation territory. Noticeably absent Rachel Horner blesses us with her recommendation(s) from the road, while Tony and Phil offer up their picks from the comfort of the studio. Tim, on the other hand, contributes nothing.

    guardians of the galaxy vol 2This week on “CAN’T WAIT!“, Tim Hayne, Rachel Horner, Phil Pirrello, and Tony Maccio explore the nerd-splosion-inducing teaser trailer for Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” and decide that you need all 87 glorious seconds of it in your life right now. Also, two words: BABY GROOT. The new poster comes up too, but that’s pretty anticlimactic at this point. (Tim apologizes to the esteemed director of “Thor: Ragnarok,” Taika Waititi.

    Hey, it’s still October, so let’s dive head first into the horror movies that destroyed our childhoods, shall we? “Child’s Play” and its murderous Chucky seems to have had the biggest impact, while “Nightmare on Elm Street,” “Friday the 13th,” “Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” and “Poltergeist” definitely left their marks. Special recognition goes to “Jaws” for ruining childhoods and adulthoods. PS: We still don’t have a tagline.
