Bonding Time

A-Z Movies! We're making our way through the alphabet one movie at a time. *NEW EPISODES ON MONDAYS*

59 - O is for The Outsiders 06/02/2025

59 - O is for The Outsiders COME ON PONYBOY YOU CAN’T GO AROUND KILLING PEOPLE! Simon’s choice takes us back to simpler times where there was only two groups in society, the greasers and the socs. Francis Ford Coppola directs 1983’s The Outsiders adapted from the 1967 novel of the same name and he wasn’t messing around when he cast this film. Hey is that Tom Cruise? What film would you have picked for O? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/36320875

58 - N is for No Country for Old Men 05/26/2025

58 - N is for No Country for Old Men WOULD YOU LIKE SOME CHIGURH WITH THAT? Mikey’s choice this week is the 2007 film No Country for Old Men, directed by The Coen Brothers. Simon has never seen No Country before and is in for a wild ride. Do all of Javier Bardem’s best characters need to have crazy haircuts? Yes, it appears yes. What film would you have picked for N? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/36320840

57 - M is for Man on Fire 05/18/2025

57 - M is for Man on Fire LADIES & GENTLEMAN… DENZEL WASHINGTON Simon’s repeated viewings of todays film have him constantly hoping for a new ending. Mikey’s first time viewing todays film will have him find out why. Its Tony Scott’s 2004 action thriller Man on Fire with the powerhouse himself Denzel Washington. It should be clear to everyone by now, don’t fuck with Dakota Fanning. What film would you have picked for M? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/36320830

56 - L is for Lethal Weapon 05/12/2025

56 - L is for Lethal Weapon I’LL NEVER BE TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT! Mikey knew exactly what needed to be done this week. For too long Simon’s days had passed without the experience of 1987’s Lethal Weapon in his life but today that all changes. Richard Donner’s buddy cop masterpiece still holds up so let’s find out what the boy’s had to say. What film would you have picked for L? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35818895

55 - K is for The Karate Kid 05/05/2025

55 - K is for The Karate Kid IT’S THE 80’S WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS KARATE! Simon introduces Mikey to where it all started, long before Cobra Kai, long before Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, their was 1984’s The Karate Kid directed by John G Avildsen. A simpler time where if you were being bullied you didn’t need social media or guns, you just needed Karate! What film would you have picked for K? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: Sport Heavy Rock Power by Infraction [No Copyright Music] / Duality /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35818880

54 - J is for The Jerk 04/28/2025

54 - J is for The Jerk THIS MOVIE IS SO STUPID! IT’S PERFECT Mikey’s choice this week is for the letter J. Even though it’s back to back comedies, he couldn’t help himself from showing Simon 1979’s The Jerk directed by Carl Reiner. Steve Martin’s first venture into film wasn’t only a critical success but a box office success too and we talk about why. What film would you have picked for J? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347905

53 - I is for I Love You Phillip Morris 04/21/2025

53 - I is for I Love You Phillip Morris KEEP CALM AND CARREY ON! This week Simon is back in the drivers seat and so is the legend that is Jim Carrey! I Love You Phillip Morris is a 2009 black comedy directed by John Requa & Glenn Ficarra. It’s got a con artist, prison escapes and ever charming Ewan McGregor. Did we mention it’s based on true events? What film would you have picked for I? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347870

52 - H is for The Holdovers 04/14/2025

52 - H is for The Holdovers BOREDING SCHOOL! One of the more recent releases on our A-Z list is Mikey’s choice this week. 2023’s The Holdovers directed by Alexander Payne was a huge critical success, but how successful will it be with the devourer of films? The one they call Simon Douglas that is! What film would you have picked for H? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347855

51 - G is for The Green Mile 04/07/2025

51 - G is for The Green Mile I DIDN’T KNOW THE SPONGE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WET! Frank Darabont’s The Green Mile was a major blind spot for Mikey, since its release in 1999 he’s managed to avoid it constantly… that is until now. Simon’s choice this week was a no brainer and we think you’ll all agree. What film would you have picked for G? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347790

50 - F is for A Few Dollars More 03/31/2025

50 - F is for A Few Dollars More BRING BACK WESTERNS YOU MONSTERS! Spaghetti Westerns used to be everywhere, now we’re being flooded with superheroes. Mikey’s choice takes us back to simpler times, the 60’s to revisit one of the best there ever was in Sergio Leone’s For a Few Dollars More! What film would you have picked for F? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347755

49 - E is for Ella Enchanted 03/24/2025

49 - E is for Ella Enchanted IT’S ONE ELLA OF AN EPISODE! Simon’s choice this week takes us back to the magical year of 2004 when the Olympics returned to Athens and Mark Zuckerberg launched TheFacebook. But who can forget the Tommy O’Haver directed jukebox musical that is Ella Enchanted! What film would you have picked for E? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347695

48 - D is for Do the Right Thing 03/17/2025

48 - D is for Do the Right Thing AND THAT’S THE TRUTH! RUTH! The list of amazing films starting with the letter D is quite impressive, but when Mikey found out Simon hadn’t seen the 1989 Spike Lee comedy/drama classic, he knew it was time for him to Do the Right Thing. What film would you have picked for D? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347415

47 - C is for Child's Play 2 03/10/2025

47 - C is for Child's Play 2 WE’RE UP ALL NIGHT TO GET CHUCKY! This week is the letter C and Simon has chosen a childhood favourite of his that goes by the name of Child’s Play 2! That’s right, we’re in sequel territory now. The 1990 slasher comedy directed by John Lafia gives the boys lots to talk about. What film would you have picked for C? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347365

46 - B is for The Bad News Bears 03/03/2025

46 - B is for The Bad News Bears BEARS, BEERS & BASEBALL Mikey’s first choice of the season takes us all the way back to 1976 for the beloved underdog film The Bad News Bears directed by Michael Ritchie. Is it a product of its time or is it timeless? What film would you have picked for B? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347330

45 - A is for Anomalisa 02/24/2025

45 - A is for Anomalisa SEASON 3! A-Z! We’re back and this time we’re taking turns picking films for every letter of the alphabet! Simon’s up first with the letter A and his choice is 2015’s Anomalisa directed by Charlie Kaufman & Duke Johnson. What film would you have picked for A? @bondingtimepod on Facebook, Instagram, X & Letterboxd! Music: Bonding Time Theme Song: /episode/index/show/bbd58af2-adc9-4b93-b836-043813ac56b9/id/35347300
