  Lilo and Stitch (2025 Live-Action Remake) 30.09.2026 1t 32min

  The Boy And The Heron 21.09.2026 1t 41min

  Like a sating, flourishing oasis in the release schedule of 2023, Hayao Miyazaki's final theatrically released film (for now, at least) was a real socks-knocker-offer, that's for sure.

  The Lion King (2019) Watchalong Track 15.09.2026 2t 2min

  Relive a truly dark day in the life of Now We Know's foremost martyr, Christopher Tognotti — as a holiday gift to Kevin, I graciously agreed to record an unthinakble solo watchalong track for the 2019 "live-action" remake of The Lion King, but the audio file was unaccountably corrupted the entire first playthrough, and then the first half of the second playthrough, meaning at the outset of this recording I'd already made my way through this movie one-and-a-half times.  To say I was a bit less verbal and a bit more punch-drunk would be an understatement. Enjoy it! I didn't! But I love all of you so failure was not an option.

  Classic Popeye Technicolor Two-Reels 24.08.2026 55min

  I'm Sindbad the Sailor, so hearty and hale I live on an island on back of a whale It's a whale of an island (that's not a bad joke!) Its lord and its master is this handsome bloke! Ohhhh, who's the most remarkable, extra-ordinary fellow? Sindbad the Sailor! (Also why is the genie vaguely German?)

  Deadpool and Wolverine 17.08.2026 1t 34min

  Chris here... man remember back when we did this podcast? We had to watch stuff like DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE all the time! Hoo boy did we not enjoy this one. Fun fact: listeners got to vote on whether we watched this or the Beverly Hills Cop reboot, and friend of the show Rachel Fisher (Hollywood Crime Scene; my remedial high school science class) cast the deciding vote for D&W. This means that decision was a sort of temporal pivot point, and there is another timeline in which-*deafening gunshot*

  I Want It All Now! (1978 NBC News Marin County Documentary) 10.08.2026 1t 47min

  In 1978, veteran NBC presenter Edwin Newman descended on Marin County, California, just north of the Golden Gate, to profile the affluent county and its various cultural and social tendencies. The result, "I Want It All Now," portrayed the county as a haven of self--absorption, new age irresponsibility, divorce, drug abuse, and free swingin' sexuality, all neatly packaged for a national audience ripe to be wary of liberal Northern Californian decadence. So incensed were some in the community and local government that then-state congressman John Burton read a rebuttal of the program into the state's legislative record. So, was it a hit job, or did it speak to something real? The truth, as seen by Marin native Chris and frequent resident Kevin, may lie somewhere in between.

  The Fanatic (2019) 06.07.2026 1t 17min

  Staight from the Now We Know premium vault, your freshly-unlocked episode for this week: a look back at John Travolta's most utterly incomprehensible decision since Moment By Moment, THE FANATIC (2019). Travolta portrays Moose, an awkward, neurodivergent Hollywood Boulevard street performer who is a tremendous fan of actor Hunter Dunbar (Devon Sawa), perhaps dangerously so. The less spoiled about this one the better.

  The Flash (2023) 30.06.2026 1t 19min

  Hoo boy it's the Flash, the one from 2023, with two Ezra Millers, Michael Keaton, some other people I've since forgotton... oh yeah, this one make you relive the climax of Man of Steel repeatedly. Really did not enjoy this one (this is Chris by the way)... I guess it's nice to see Ron Livingston... the mom is pretty cute? Anyways please enjoy your latest Patreon vault unlock.

  Get ready to bite into what Disney has assured us is a *delicious* meat-bread-meat sandwich of a film: Lightyear, the Buzz Lightyear movie, your latest unlocked Patreon episode. Chris and Kevin both saw this movie in theaters solo as single adult men - Chris, in particular, wore sunglasses with his jacket collar flipped up while murmuring "one for Lightyear" at the venerable Elmwood theater box office.

  Aladdin (2019) 08.06.2026 2t 5min

  You ain't never had a friend like Will Smith, for it is he who will prove, once and for all, that he is a fun, talented, and normal guy, in that order. This week, unlocked from the Patreon vault, Disney's 2019 live-acrion Aladdin remake, which hauled in an astonishing, life-deffirming $1 billion at the box office.

  The Mandalorian? Grogu? Rotta the Hutt, who no matter what you've heard is his own man? All these and more will NOT be discussed on the latest Now We Know Patreon unlock: it's 1995's Star Wars Essential Guide to Characters, written by Andy Mangels. Reunite with the whole crew! Bollux!

  Unfrosted (2024) 18.05.2026 1t 25min

  Your latest gem from the Now We Know vault — the horrifying Unfrosted, Jerry Seinfeld's return to the world of feature films. There's a surprising number of cameos by actually talented people in this (including the the always-marvelous Andy Daly as the Quaker Oats guy), yet virtually nothing can overcome Seinfeld's unique, and unfortunate, sense of what's funny.
