Play Pause

1:54:40

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind... join Barry and Patrick for an end of 2025 episode and acquaint yourself with Playing for Keeps, a 2012 soccer rom?com?? Gerard Butler vehicle. And then hope that you never have to bring it to mind again. Find out how Judy Greer fares in a movie where thirteen (13) producers had 13 (thi…

52: Holly (Our Souls at Night) 1:32:40

1M ago1:32:40

1:32:40

The darkest time of the year is upon us (here in the Northern hemisphere at least) where most of us just want to take a cue from nature and hibernate for a while. Does 96 Greers have the movie for you! Gentle music, minimal yelling, and a languid plot that revolves around Hollywood's two sexiest septigenarians (Jane Fonda and Robert Redford) sleepi…

51: Martha Washington (America: the Motion Picture) 25:53

2M ago25:53

25:53

In the winter of our discontent, let necessity be the mother of invention. As in, we are discontent with America: the Motion Picture and needed to be inventive about recording while Barry was out of town for a week and a half. Join us in an audio festival of contempt for this animated comedy's poorly-written jokes that rely on the premise "anachron…

50: Purple Lady (Dead of Winter) 1:28:38

3M ago1:28:38

1:28:38

The stars have finally aligned, two in-theater episodes in a row! Barry and Patrick headed back to the realm of 8 dollar fountain drinks for Dead of Winter, a sparse backcountry thriller where Emma Thompson and Judy Greer have conflicting goals regarding a teenager who is bound and gagged in a basement. (I told you, it's sparse!) Stick around for a…

49: Ginnie Garraty (The Long Walk) 2:09:56

3M ago2:09:56

2:09:56

Two momentous episodes in a row! For the previous episode, we knew the halfway mark was going to come eventually. But we did not know when we would get to see JG in a movie in theaters that other people would actually go see. Barry and Patrick recorded this episode two weeks ago and, holy crap, The Long Walk is still in theaters! Better and more po…

4M ago2:25:10

2:25:10

Honored ear-guests: we've half-done it. With this episode, we reach the halfway mark of the journey to 96 Greers. We mark this special occasion with a special movie in the Judy Greer filmography: 2004's 13 Going on 30. That's right, Barry and Patrick have taken this ode to Gen X's childhood and given themselves permission to be even more nostalgic …

47: Laura (Peep World) 1:53:25

5M ago1:53:25

1:53:25

Before Octavia Butler and Taraji P. Henson were in Hidden Figures, before Ben Schwartz was Sonic the Hedgehog, and before Judy Greer stuck ping pong balls to her body and pretended to mother a baby chimpanzee, they were all in a family dramedy? TV pilot? Lightly fictionalized autobiographical video essay? They were all in Peep World, a motion pictu…

46: Cornelia (War for the Planet of the Apes) 1:51:24

5M ago1:51:24

1:51:24

I love the spell of ape film in the morning. Smells like a new episode of 96 Greers! Last summer, Patrick and Barry watched Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, followed by a whimsical Other Segment-- and a harrowing Judilization. This year, they're being called back to the combat zone, for one last entry in an iconic, decades-spanning science fiction f…

45: Maggie (Ant-Man and the Wasp) 1:27:12

6M ago1:27:12

1:27:12

It's the Summer of Greer REDUX! We're back in the MCU, grappling with more important-sounding Proper Nouns that are of no consequence to either of us! Luckily we have Gabe Powers of Genre Grinder to get us caught up on the three years between Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp. We puzzle over missing character arcs, the fine-line-removing potentials …

44: Kitty (Uncle Frank) 1:34:08

7M ago1:34:08

1:34:08

After our road trip episode, we bring you: another road trip episode! But this time the road trip is in the movie. Kind of. For a few scenes. But it's mostly a gay drama about a South Carolina family in the early 70s. Think Tennessee Williams on quaaludes. Written and directed by HBO showrunner extraordinaire, Alan "Tennessee Williams on Quaaludes"…

43: Sharon Andrews (The Grand) 1:37:00

7M ago1:37:00

1:37:00

Barry and Patrick went on a trip and didn't record an episode in advance, so keep generosity alive in your heart for this road diary-slash-conversation of The Grand. Can the effusive twosive behind your favorite podcast about the filmography of Judy Greer take the show on the road? Also: when's the last time you listened to our conversation about E…

42: Dr. Amy Hicks (Playing with Fire) 1:36:00

8M ago1:36:00

1:36:00

Finally, someone made content for children about first responders and the cast isn't a bunch of CGI dogs (and oesn't-day eature-fay the ops-cay ;)). But the cast does include the comedy talents of Judy Greer, Keegan-Michael Key, John Leguizamo, and everybody's favorite pro wrestler-turned-actor! No, not Dave Bautista. The other-- no, not Dwayne Joh…

41: Kathy Dahl (Buffaloed) 1:44:14

9M ago1:44:14

1:44:14

Content note: folks with misophonia may want to skip the Other Segment (01:08:00-01:37:00) Who can say no to an indie film with regionally-specific jokes and a protagonist whose attitude and hairstyle could both be described as "Devil-may-care"? Certainly not us, because Judy Greer is in the cast of 2019's Buffaloed, a scrappy comedy that asks: wha…

40: Dorsey (Family Squares) 1:51:19

10M ago1:51:19

1:51:19

Content note: we discuss the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic at length. If you've listened to any previous episodes of 96 Greers, you may have asked yourself a question. And there was an answer to that question-- up until this episode, where the answer changed. And you may doubt that I actually know the question that you asked yourself, and you…

39: Dr. Janelle Kurtz (Where'd You Go, Bernadette?) 1:38:07

10M ago1:38:07

1:38:07

Richard Linklater is a beloved American auteur with a heart as big as his Texas homeland and a colorful Boomer childhood (that almost assuredly included experimenting with psychedelics) to influence the stories he tells. So it stands to reason that he would be the ideal writer/director for a film adaptation of a novel about a Los Angeles vanguard a…

38: Cindy (Love and Other Drugs) 1:46:18

11M ago1:46:18

1:46:18

Zig-a-zig ha, cinephiles! We're rolling back to 1997-- or at least, we're rolling back to 2010 rolling back to 1997, with Love and Other Drugs! Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, the director of Glory and The Last Samurai? That's the best trio since romcoms where two prickly assholes shack up, social issue dramas that assign blame to nobody, and raunc…

37: Deborah (American Dreamz) 1:41:28

12M ago1:41:28

1:41:28

This episode of 96 Greers is notable for documenting a moment in time when TikTok the Gray had died, but had not yet made its dramatic return as TikTok the [tool of] White [supremacy]. It's also notable as fan service for anyone who may fondly remember the episodes of Director's Club where Barry helped out with the song parodies (and by anyone, we …

36: Samantha (I Love Your Work) 1:55:16

1y ago1:55:16

1:55:16

It's 2025, whether we like it or not! And as the old saying goes: new year, new Greer. Patrick and Barry (fka Reg) are stroking their beards and nodding seriously at the Adam Goldberg-directed I Love Your Work. This dark tale of Hollywood delirium may be the closest that we get to being able to discuss a Hitchcock movie on this podcast. Or David Ly…

35: Alice (The TV Set) 1:44:59

1y ago1:44:59

1:44:59

We got Christmas out of the way early with our last episode, now we're on to the next big holiday that speaks to what really matters in This Country: mid-season pilots! Reg and Patrick focus test The TV Set, a 2006 film by the guy who made Red One. Will they feel comforted by over-the-top performances and stock characters, or intimidated and annoye…

34: Grace (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever) 1:57:21

1y ago1:57:21

1:57:21

Yes, it's mid-November 2024 and we are covering a "faith-based" movie. No, we don't talk about the election. Yes, "faith" is a euphemism for Christian. No, we haven't been "saved." Yes, my use of quotation marks around "saved" is meant to be sarcastic. No, I'm not playing an ad hoc improv game with myself in the description field of my podcast, why…

33: Karen (Halloween Kills) 1:55:34

1y ago1:55:34

1:55:34

It's Halloween Kills, and everyone is entitled to one good podcast. Or something. We've waited a whole year to return to Haddonfield for the 2021 legasequel sequel to 2018's Halloween, the legasequel to Halloween. We talk comparisons to another big-name legasequel trilogy and discover that we see a lot of ourselves in some of Michael Myers' victims…

1y ago1:28:50

1:28:50

Don't turn out the light, listener, because you're about to hear (a plot summary and criticism of) a G-G-G-Ghost Story! From the twisted mind of Justin Long-- yes, the guy who played relatable nerds in 00s comedies and also got turned into a manwalrus in that one movie-- comes a harrowing tale from the land of Tampa, Florida! It’s Lady of the Manor…

31: Ellie (The Amateurs) 1:36:15

1+ y ago1:36:15

1:36:15

Reg and Patrick make a podcast, and in this episode, they're getting deep inside The Amateurs. This "indie" comedy about a small town group of slackers who decide to make a porno features some red hot meta-humor and an orgy of acting talent, and you know Judy Greer is right there among them. After this scintillating conversation, don't be surprised…

1:48:05

The Summer of Greer has one more episode before we move onto the First Day of School of Greer. Is it another installment in a sprawling sci-fi franchise? Yes. Is JG a mom? Yes. Does she, as we hoped, get the best role we're see all summer? What I can tell you is that "A Fish Called Selma" is the nineteenth episode of the decent season of The Simpso…

29: Maggie (Ant-Man) 1:55:52

1+ y ago1:55:52

1:55:52

The Summer of Greer marches on, hurrah hurrah! Another mid-2010s big budget action movie, another underwritten mom role for Judy Greer. Reg and Patrick have the dubious honor of digging into the MCU with 2015's Ant-Man. Gabe Powers from Genre Grinder makes a special appearance as the wise comic book expert who provides the necessary exposition for …

28: Karen (Jurassic World) 2:01:10

1+ y ago2:01:10

2:01:10

Fun fact: this is the third movie we have covered so far where Judy Greer plays a Karen. Not a Karen-Karen, just a mom named Karen. Well, she might be a Karen-Karen; we don't get enough information about her, for all we know there's a version of the script out there where she's writing a hate-filled screed on Facebook about transgender GMO dinosaur…

27: Jenny (Tomorrowland) 1:49:12

1+ y ago1:49:12

1:49:12

The year was 2015, and Judy Greer's film career saw her journeying through the Land of Big-Budget Franchise Movies. Reg and Patrick are setting the air conditioner on high and expectations on low for a mini-series we are calling The Summer of Greer. Brad Bird's theme-park-turned-two-hour-family-friendly-action film Tomorrowland taught that scientif…

1:07:12

We did it again! But... wait. Did we? What if we didn't? What if we did something else? What if we did something so long ago that, sitting here today, I can't even remember the names of one of the things, but we pretended like it was just done yesterday? And what if Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was set in a dystopian future and the main character was a …

26: Joyce (The 15:17 to Paris) 2:05:31

1+ y ago2:05:31

2:05:31

Choo-choo movie nerds, The 15:17 to Paris is leaving the station! Legit question for listening Americans: how do Reg and Patrick abide the 88-94 year old director who fills their TV with 94 minutes of military propaganda while their small audience awaits their opinions? Can a mostly forgotten Trump-era Clint Eastwood movie share anything in common …

25: Ginger (Barry Munday) 1:55:58

1+ y ago1:55:58

1:55:58

Our wife told us not to record this podcast. But Reg and Patrick are back to offend everyone and ask the tough questions about BARRY MUNDAY, a typical Boy-Loses-Testicles-and-Forgets-He-Met-Girl comedy, such as: Has there ever been an actually funny scene set at a support group? Will 96 Greers become a Patrick Wilson fancast? Can one third of the s…

24: Soda the Whale (My Father's Dragon) 1:46:09

2y ago1:46:09

1:46:09

In February, we asked a deeply inane question: What Do Women Want? In March, we asked an even more inane question: What Do Children Want? Two dozen episodes into Judy Greer's filmography, and we have yet to cover a work aimed specifically at children (unless you count Rusty's Learning to Listen: Part 8). As a pair of childless film snobs who find t…

STOP! Are you aware that you are currently on the Internet? When's the last time you even looked up from that screen? Are you even aware what's happening to The Children? Or maybe you yourself are so enthralled by this terrible technology that you are already lost in the dark labyrinth of mild BDSM fantasies, horny housewives in baggy sweaters, pho…

2y ago1:40:30

1:40:30

Join Reg and Patrick as they live, laugh, and love through the Nancy Meyers written and directed rom-com What Women Want. What do women want: a living wage, professional relationships built on mutual respect, and bodily autonomy? Maybe, but have you considered: Mel Gibson? Reg and Patrick have, because he's the protagonist of this movie! They didn'…

21: Ramona (Lemon) 1:46:57

2y ago1:46:57

1:46:57

Prepare your earholes, because 96 Greers is coming in hot with a Lemon party. Reg and Patrick bare it all: their feelings on 2017 dark comedy Lemon, director Janicza Bravo's other work (including 2020 Twitter-plotted sensation Zola), and the use of unlikable characters and cringey situations to create comedy. After exploring multiple positions, the…

1:56:21

Well met, gentle friends, and harken to another discourse with Reg and Patrick, spirited to you through your enchanted box of wonders! On this fine day, we turn our thoughts to a fanciful tale spun by M. Night Shyamalan, entitled The Village. If you know not wherefore this missive is written in such a manner, perchance you would benefit greatly fro…

19: Linda (Jeff Who Lives at Home) 1:29:18

2y ago1:29:18

1:29:18

Holy sibling rivalry Batman, it's another mumblecore episode! Well, it's a Duplass Brothers episode. Perhaps those two descriptors aren't quite as interchangeable as Patrick and Reg had assumed. Jeff Who Lives at Home has us pondering the physics of sinking cars, business communication trends of 2010, and what Ed Helms is like when he goes full Hol…

2y ago1:36:33

1:36:33

This episode is being published a little late, but don't worry, we weren't giving you the Shaft. More recent roles have seen the ever-Super Fly Judy Greer playing a White Mama, but on this episode we go back to 2003's action comedy The Hebrew Hammer, a blaxploitation homage with a Jewish twist. Pour yourself a cup of Coffy and listen to Patrick and…

2:05:29

Reg and Patrick go on an adventure to the Chicago International Film Festival to see the premiere of Eric LaRue, the directorial debut of Judy Greer's Pottersville co-star Michael Shannon and focuses on the emotional aftermath for parents whose children were involved in a school shooting. We talk about our expectations going in and then time warp t…

2y ago1:51:05

1:51:05

It's damn near impossible to be a prolific Hollywood actor in the 21st century without being in a franchise or two. Judy Greer plays Laurie Strode's daughter Karen in David Gordon Green's Halloween, a sequel to John Carpenter's Halloween. Reg and Patrick talk about the inevitable teenage drama plot lines in slasher movies, stan Lumpy, and attempt t…

Get ready for an unhinged episode of 96 Greers that delves into the bewildering world of Elizabethtown, the film that inspired the phrase "manic pixie dream girl." Reg is hopped up on goofballs! Patrick is calling out other film podcasts by name! Porn keyword search jokes! Experiments on children without institutional review board approval! Rate, r…

Spoiler Alert! We got a sneak preview of Aporia and we do discuss the entire plot of the movie. If you don't want spoilers for the third act, stop listening before 44:00. Temps are high, sfx are low, and sci is fi when Reg and Patrick discuss Aporia, an empathetic and intellectual timeline-bender in which Judy Greer heads up an excellent cast. Othe…

Dig it: 70's Greer! That's... all that Reg had prepared coming into this episode. 2011 indie crime film The Key Man doesn't have a lot going for it, but it does have Judy Greer. Our intrepid Greer fans discuss queer-coded villains, what makes a bad movie bad, the screenwriter's favorite poem, and more!…

50:42

For that all-important eleventh episode, Reg and Patrick do something a little different, a little special. With Judy Greer starring in a world premiere play less than an hour's journey from 96 Greers headquarters, there was no excuse not to throw Reg's carefully planned episode schedule out the window and focus on Kate Arrington's play Another Mar…

IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single podcast in possession of a cinematic theme must be in want of a Nicolas Cage episode. And Adaptation gives you two Cages for the price of one! Two elder millennial film snobs return to this early-oughts Charlie Kaufman metafilm for the first time in years and go way over time talking other movie…

In 1999, beloved actress Natasha Lyonne teamed up with director Jamie Babbitt to make the queer cult classic But I'm a Cheerleader. In 2015, Lyonne and Babbitt teamed up again for the indie caper Addicted to Fresno, bringing along with them Judy Greer. And a rockabilly pet cemetery. And a bin full of jiggly purple dildos.

Judy Greer meets Totoro! Okay, not exactly, but she was part of the English dub cast of Studio Ghibli's The Cat Returns, a fantasy spin-off of their 90s slice of life film Whisper of the Heart. Reg and Patrick talk about fatphobia on film, get a little Jungian, and create fursonas. Referenced in this episode: Sarah Kate Istra Winter's Girls Undergr…

1:12:46

Not quite mumblecore, not quite Dogme 95, In Memory of My Father definitely has Judy Greer in the cast. Reg and Patrick bravely soldier forth in their completionist goal with this indie dramedy about a film producer's family reacting-- or not-- to his death.
