This week we’re discussing our favorite protagonists: the main characters of their universes, the centers of the plot. Join us as we discuss TV show characters, action stars, and… a mushroom? 

Also, why we hate Samuel’s lack of Charlie Brown knowledge.

Today we’re talking about one of the most controversial yet beloved comedies in recent history, Tropic Thunder. We discuss the more… questionable jokes in the film, as well as the bizarre character developments and graphic violence.

Also, why we hate missing a point in table tennis.

Don’t call it a clip show! Because… well, because it’s not a clip show. What it IS is a top ten episode! But this time we’re turning it back to ourselves in honor of our 200th episode. That’s right, we’ve each come to the table with our top ten favorite episodes of Grumpy Young Men! 

Also, why we hate negative political ads. 

This week we’re covering one of the greatest science fiction films of all time, Children of Men. We discuss the elaborate and incomparable camerawork, the sporadic and brilliant world-building, and how this movie actually gets us to care about a child being born.

Also, why we hate this film’s lack of Oscars.

Today we look at ACTION! Henry and Samuel bring to the table their top ten favorite action scenes from movies, TV shows, video games, and… a book??? Helicopters, cars, chases, escapes, murder, violence and more all on this episode of Grumpy Young Men!

Also, why we hate sticky residue. 

This week we’re reviewing one of our favorite films of the year, Thoroughbreds. We talk about the messed-up characters, the terrific and subtle acting, and the incredible directing and writing on display from a first-time writer and director! Plus, what makes a good a**hole?

Also, why we hate the old-timey paradox. 

As we return from our embarrassingly long vacay, we give you a truly magical episode: our BIGGEST and LONGEST MUSIC EPISODE! We’re hear to cover two of our favorite albums in recent memory: Passwords by Dawes, and Tickety Boo by Silo’s Choice. Odds are you probably have never heard of these albums, but fear not! You can either listen to them ahead of time, or check out our podcast where we splice in snippets of the songs as we go through them. Enjoy!

Also, why we (mostly Samuel) hate Henry’s Blu-rays.

We’re baaaaaaaaack. And trust us, we’re working. OVERTIME. That’s right, we’re covering one of the greatest crime movies this generation, The Departed. We discuss the bizarre love triangle, the shockingly good performances, and of course, the city of Boston. I’VE LOST MY LEG!

Also, why we hate chair shopping. 

This week we’re covering the latest half-season from our favorite show, Arrested Development. We discuss everything we love and hate about season five, from the plot lines, the lack of Lindsay, and the eccentric finale. We’ve got a lot of thoughts.

Also, why we hate the press fiasco that preceded this season's release. 

Today we are talking about one of the greatest thrillers in recent memory, Wind River. We talk about the stark scenery, the beautiful tension, the deep metaphors, and basically dump endless praise onto writer/director Taylor Sheridan.

Also, why we hate Solo’s popularity. 

This week we’re talking about Dungeons & Dragons, the go-to tabletop role-playing game for the last several decades. We go over what we like about the game, what we don’t like about it, and share some of our favorite personal experiences with the game.

Also, why we hate our lazy media consumption. 

Today we are talking about the pop culture extravaganza known as Ready Player One. We discuss everything from the copious cameos, the terrible characterization, and the lack of any real world building. What is Steven Spielberg doing? 

Also, why we hate the blue light on our microphones. 

This week, we’re talking about everyone’s favorite online presence: brands! That’s right, we’re coming in with all of our hot takes on funny Twitter accounts of restaurants, confusing Tumblr memes of chip companies, and an endless tirade of stupid insurance commercials. 

Also, some thoughts on Arrested Development: Fateful Consequences. 

Here we are, just a couple of current boys talking about the most recent and still-relevant superhero film, that’s right: Avengers! We share all our thoughts on Infinity War, Thanos, and all the other million and a half characters in this dang movie.

Also, why we hate bitcoin scams.

This week we’re coming to bat with our respective Top Ten Superhero Movie lists. Superhero movies are a genre that we… well, we tolerate it. Every now and then they make a gem. Also our Infinity War predictions! (Because this was recorded before Infinity War and now we look like fools.)

Also, why we hate caffeine culture.

Today we’re talking about one of our favorite comedies of yesteryear, Burn After Reading. Brilliant and overlooked? Hilariously absurd? Some of the Coens’ finest work? Yes, yes, and yes. Also Samuel really does not like Frances McDormand for some reason.

Also, why we hate the weather. 

This week we’re covering our top ten favorite foods, and basically we both get outed as extremely picky eaters. We talk about everything from lunches to desserts, cheeses to chocolates, and grease and salt galore.

Also, our thoughts on PUBG Mobile.

Today we’re reviewing one of our favorite movies of yesteryear, Manchester by the Sea. We talk about the fantastic performances, the superbly written dialogue, and some of the smaller moments in the film that don’t *quite* work.

Also, why we hate loaded nachos. 

This week we’re learning about ourselves! We both come to the table with four personality quizzes, so we’re gonna learn all about what kind of (blank) we’d be! Don’t worry, it’s even stupider than it sounds. 

Also, why we hate J.K. Rowling’s revisions.

Today we cover the simplistic yet addictive PC fighting game Brawlhalla. Join us as we go over our favorite characters and weapons, condone the simplistic style, and inevitably compare it to Smash about 300 times.

The Third Rant Day is upon us. Join in as we discuss all manner of things that mildly irksome, such as Super Bowl winners, bad drivers, cowboys, and oh so much more. 

Today on the pod, we are talking about the wonderful Coen Brothers film, Inside Llewyn Davis. Samuel finds this movie incredibly depressing, yet Henry finds it endearing and inspiring. Who’s right? Well, only one way to find out!

Also, why we hate Toad’s character design. 

This week we’re laying down some bets! Both of us are coming to the table with eight predictions about 2018, ranging from movies, politics, video games, and everything in between. Whoever loses the most bets at the end of the year must pray a horrible price…

Also, why we hate Samuel’s ineptness. 

Today we are discussing the video game Doki Doki Literature Club, which is a totally normal not weird super fun happy dating simulator. And nothing terrifying or disgusting or awful ever happens in this game. Nope. Not this game.

Also, why we hate old-timey political apathy. 

Today on the podcast, our topic is separating the art from the artist. The truth is, a lot of artists are downright scumbags. But can we still appreciate the art they make? We discuss this topic and go through many examples, especially a lot of recent examples given the incredibly powerful #MeToo movement that’s been growing the past few months.

Also, why we hate our old podcast setup.

(Also, this was recorded back in the beginning of December, so a lot of the allegations we discussed are now out of date, given that incredibly brave women and men have continued to come forward and name their accusers. So please keep that in mind if we don’t quite have a full picture, or don’t name some people such as James Franco, Aziz Ansari, etc.)

This week, we’re reviewing the standalone Hawkeye film, Arrival. We discuss the intricate plot, debate over its philosophical quandaries, and lament the current state of science fiction in film. (Spoilers: it ain’t too good right now.)

Also, why we hate distraction-free writing. 

Today on the pod, we go back an look at 2017 and discuss some of the best and worst things about this year. The good things? We got a lot of great movies and video games. Plus, our podcast got professional. The bad things? Basically everything else.

Also, why we hate the new table tennis table. 

Star

Wars

Star Wars. Star Wars. Star Wars.

S T A R   W A R S

This week we are covering a wonderful little indie game called A House of Many Doors. We talk about the bizarre and captivating world within this game, the brilliant and off-the-wall writing, the frustrating turn-based combat, and Henry gets banned from ever using the bongos during a podcast again. 

Also, why we hate mainstream sci-fi stories.

Today we’re talking about one of Netflix’s most successful shows, Stranger Things. We’re far too late to the party since season 2 came out months ago, but we’ve still got plenty of rad opinions about the character development and the lackluster villain. And we reconcile with the plain fact that this season is far less good than the first one.

Also, why we hate Black Friday Madness. 

This week we’re going back 21 years to the glorious year of 1996, when Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson made their first film: Bottle Rocket. Henry absolutely loves it, and Samuel likes the first and third act. That’s about it. (How’s an asshole like Samuel get such a great kitchen?)

Also, why we hate the audio quality the past two weeks.

Today we are finalizing our video game ranking list, and closing the book on our review review series. We discuss one of the best multi-player games in recent memory, a captivating idle game, some early access gems, and also we try to correct out accents. (We fail.)

Also, why we hate memories. 

Today we are covering two of our personal favorite directors: Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson. See, Samuel loves the Quentin, but can’t stand Wes. Meanwhile Henry loves Wes, but can’t stand Quentin. So we discuss each director as well as pitch their top three movies that the other host would like. Mass hilarity and movie recommending ensues.

Also, why we hate getting rear ended. 

This week we talk about one of the greatest war movies ever made, Saving Private Ryan. We talk about the coldhearted nature of war in this movie, the surprising amount of random cameos, and how much of a coward Upham is. Mickey Mouse!

Also, why we hate what happened in Las Vegas. 

Today we are continuing our ranking of every single book we’ve reviewed. Some are good, some are great, most of them are terrible. And Samuel really really doesn’t like picture books.

Also, why we hate Nintendo console scarcity. 

This week we discuss the beautiful and sad video game, Transistor (just in time for Supergiant’s new game, Pyre). We cover the fantastic art style, the depressing story and the world, and the begrudgingly repetitive combat. 

Also, why we hate (misogynistic) Doctor Who fans.   

Today the topic is holidays! We discuss all manner of holidays, what we like about them, what we don’t. We debate Memorial Day versus Veteran’s Day, wonder why we don’t celebrate Juneteenth, and forever question the modern relevance of Columbus Day. 

Also, why we hate miniature versions of games.

Also, why we hate 2017 movies lately. 

Today we bring you another one of our music episodes! Henry has forced Samuel to listen to Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly,” and Samuel has forced Henry to listen to Haydn’s Symphony No. 101 in D Major. All our thoughts on these two very different pieces of music, plus the invention of a revolutionary new percussion instrument!

Also, why we hate covfefe (several weeks late).

(This episode contains a lot of language.)

This week we cover one of the strangest books we’ve ever read, Universal Harvest by John Darnielle. We explore the multiple storylines, the “show, don’t tell” plot, and the insanely fresh writing style.

Also, why we hate country highways. 

Today on the podcast, we each talk about our top ten favorite TV shows of ALL-TIME. We cover spaceships named for bugs, Heisenberg, 90s sitcoms, trekking stars, modern British detectives, anime, and the one son that had to bring them all together. It’s Grumpy Young Men.

Also, why we hate loud vehicles.

This week, we talk about one of the most charming movies ever, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. We cover the insane humor and style, the totally likable antics of Michael Cera, and wonder if like Nintendo paid for this? Or they got paid for this? How does product placement work?

In tandem with our “top ten movies” and “top ten video games” episodes, today we discuss our own personal top ten books. Join us as we rave about green lights, a single month in mid-19th-century, Michael Grant, Suzanne Collins’ better series, djinni, and inevitably, skeleton detectives.

For this special episode, Henry and Samuel discuss their top ten favorite video games. We cover brawling, civilizing, jumpman-ing, leaguing, and Samuel’s overreaction to multi-leveled platforming.

Also, why we hate health bars.

Few books are as near and dear to the hearts of prepubescent Henry and Samuel as the Deltora Quest series is. It may not have been a long series, but it had great riddles and a very imaginative world. The question is, what do we think of it now?

Also, why we hate the Oscars.

Today, we are here to talk about musical scores. We bring up some of our favorite musicals, best original scores, most creative and fun soundtracks, as well as scores that just enhance the movie in general. We also briefly cover some of our favorite scores in TV and video games. Note: we were very tired when recording this.

Also, why we hate inconvenient breakage. 

Today we review the newish Nintendo game Fire Emblem Heroes. We break apart and praise the simple gameplay style, criticize the star-system, and wonder what Nintendo’s mobile future will look like.

Also, why we hate “additional storage required”.

After our review of Rogue One last week, we thought it would only be appropriate to talk about more Star Wars. Specifically, we discuss the future of Star Wars. Obi-Wan spinoff movies! Episode VIII predictions! Recasting Han Solo? All this and more on Grumpy Young Men.

Also, why we hate this basement.

Today on the podcast, we review the critically-acclaimed indie game, SUPERHOT. We discuss the game’s innovative gameplay, its bizarre story, and the visual and audio style.

Also, why we hate businesses that don’t accept the internet.

In this special episode, we have once again forced each other to listen to an album a little outside of our comfort zones. Samuel brought “Who You Selling For” by the Pretty Reckless, and Henry brought “At Least We Have Our Health” by Silo’s Choice. Join us as we go through each album song by song, and discuss everything from lyrics to instrumentation to album structure.

Also, why we hate computer updates.

Today Henry and Samuel cover the young adult sci-fi thriller, BZRK. We go over the bizarre characters, the crazy sci-fi world and setting, and predictably make a lot of comparisons to The Matrix. (I mean, the sequel is called BZRK Reloaded! Come on!)

Also, why we hate 2016.

Join Henry and Samuel in this non-festive Christmas episode as we both come to the table with our ten favorite movies. We take turns going up the list and selling them, and in doing so we cover Wes Anderson, Mr. Anderson, Christopher Nolan, Ryan Gosling, music documentaries, and, of course, prison.

Also, why we hate snow clearance. 

This week, we’re taking on the greatest prison movie ever, The Shawshank Redemption. We discuss everything this movie does right, as well as the seeming lack of a make-up artist, and once again argue that narration is really useless.

Also, why we hate date-based jokes.

Today on the podcast, we talk about another popular genre, fantasy. We talk about the origins of fantasy, try to come up with and define sub-genres, and share some of our favorite pieces of work based around fantasy.

Also, why we hate unnecessary branding. 

Today, we look back at the 1993 dystopian novel The Giver, which we both thought was… okay. We cover the one-note characters, the stupidly-ambiguous ending, and gripe about all the potential that the story and the world had.

Also, why we hate Parcheesi.

Today on this special episode, we tackle the great Netflix original series, Stranger Things. We cover the 80s tropes, the phenomenal child actors, the light-horror elements, and question where the show could possibly go for season two. 

Also, why we hate the hiccups. 

Back in episode 103, we reviewed Overwatch. But now that the game has been out for months and things have changed, we decided to take a second look at it. So join us as we discuss new characters, new maps, question whether the characters will get old or not, and praise the very well-polished gameplay.

Also, why we hate cameos. 

On this special episode, we take a look at Pixar movies, going down the list and discussing everything we like and dislike about each movie. We give our general opinion on each one, as well as discuss all the things they do right, and how they could be improved. 

Also, why we hate political ads.

This week, we cover perhaps the most iconic piece of cyberpunk culture: Blade Runner. Join us as we imply a lot about how Replicants work, attempt to count all the computers, and gush over how absolutely beautiful this film this.

Also, why we hate pockets (part two).

Special Episode #27, wherein we do something completely different. We both come to the table with what we consider are really obvious questions that we’ll present to each other, with the intention of making each other look very very stupid. We succeed. 

Also, why we hate that console generations are dying. 

Today we review Artemis Fowl, the immature book series from yesteryear. Samuel really likes it, but Henry was late to the party. Listen on as we discuss how everything can be a fairy, how infallible Artemis Fowl is, and what a Fairy Bible entails. 

Also, why we hate book websites. 

Henry and Samuel have an awful lot of nostalgia for one Pokemon game and one Pokemon game only: Ruby. So join us as we discuss its level design, reiterate that every single Pokemon game is the same, conclude that fighting your dad is weird, and bike hopping? Seriously?

Also, why we hate disappointing toys.

Also, why we hate tent bags.

Join Henry and Samuel in discussing I Am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to Be Your Class President, a classic young adult book. We talk about the hilarious writing style, the bizarre subplot, and how much it nails the feeling of being a kid.

Also, why we hate the back covers of books.

Join Henry and Samuel in talking about The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. We cover how this game benefited from being on the DS, drawing on maps, how much Spirit Track sucks, and how every video game should have a penguin puzzle.

Also, why we hate video game inventories.

Also, why we hate technological blight.

Also, why we hate blankets. 

Join Henry and Samuel in talking about the recent indie movie, Locke. We discuss the unique idea behind this movie, complain about the ending, and talk about how good of an actor Tom Hardy is.

Also, why we hate dead dogs. 

Join Henry and Samuel in discussing The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. We go over the cookie-cutter tragedy plot, find about 1,000 metaphors and themes, and decide that children simply don’t think like this author thinks they do. (“Out-with”? Seriously?)

Also, why we hate Will Smith’s agent.

Join Henry and Samuel as we talk about our favorite movie of 2015, The Big Short. We talk about how well this movie handles its confusing plot, praise the “artsy” editing style, and wish the characters were fleshed out a little more.

Also, why we hate broken traffic lights. 

Join Henry and Samuel in discussing the popular Nintendo platformer, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. We talk about throwing people into pits, why the multiplayer gameplay was so much fun, and inevitably, we talk about every Mario game ever.

Also, why we hate gas gauges. 

Join Henry and Samuel in Special Episode #24, which is all about rants. Join us as we rant about movies, mumbling, weird flavors, George W. Bush dancing, chiclets, and some brief follow-up on Overwatch. Also, do you know where Louisiana is?

Join Henry and Samuel as we discuss The Lord of the Rings. We talk about the damn-near flawless world, the incredible writing style, and how it still defines the standard for fantasy tales. Unfortunately however, it’s pretty dated.

Also, why you need to verify facts before you post them.

Join Henry and Samuel as we talk about the “business simulation” genre of video games, specifically Zoo Tycoon. We cover the unique gameplay, wonder why these were such a thing fifteen years ago and not now, and of course, why you should go to Legoland.

Also, why we hate blisters. 

Welcome to Grumpy Young Men, Season 3! (And yes, any time we miss a couple weeks, we just call it intentional by starting a new season.) And today we’re gonna be talking about Captain America: Civil War. We wonder why this isn’t just an Avengers movie, talk about how Iron Man’s argument is terribly stupid, and question the villain’s goals (SPOILERS!).

Also, why we hate overhype. 

SPECIAL EPISODE #23, wherein Henry and Samuel discuss the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We talk about the pros and cons of all of these movies being interconnected, the quality of said movies, and rank our favorites and least-favorites. 

Also, why we hate Spiderman. 

Join Henry and Samuel as we rave about a game that isn’t even out yet, Overwatch. We go over the unique and diverse characters, point out all the little things this game does right, and figure out why all multiplayer games aren’t quite this fun right off the bat.
