  • Casablanca
    2026/04/02

    Robb Spewak and Josh Sroka recap and discuss the 1942 classic Casablanca, including its WWII refugee setting, key characters like Rick, Ilsa, Laszlo, Renault, and Sam, and major plot turns involving the letters of transit and the film's iconic final sacrifice. They talk about the movie's famous quotes, music (especially "As Time Goes By"), Warner Bros. production details, and why the film's timing during WWII helped cement its legacy, while noting some modern viewing challenges like dense, dialogue-driven storytelling and historical context.

  • Sixteen Candles
    2026/03/14

    This week on Hix Nix Stix Pix, we light the birthday candles for one of the most iconic teen comedies of the 1980s — Sixteen Candles.

    John Hughes' coming-of-age classic introduced the world to Molly Ringwald, gave us unforgettable characters like Long Duk Dong, and captured the awkward, emotional chaos of being a teenager better than almost any movie of its era.

    We break down what still works about the film more than 40 years later… and what absolutely does not age well in 2026.

  • The Music Box & An Ache in Every Stake
    2026/01/29

    This episode of Hix Nix Stix Pix dives into two classic theatrical comedy shorts that define very different styles of slapstick.

    First up is The Music Box, starring Laurel and Hardy, featuring one of the most famous physical gags in film history as a simple piano delivery turns into a slow-burn nightmare of pride, patience, and endless stairs.

    Then we shift gears to An Ache in Every Stake, a classic from The Three Stooges, where subtlety is thrown out the window in favor of nonstop chaos, eye pokes, head slaps, and workplace destruction.

    We break down what works (and what doesn't) in each short, why both were originally made for packed movie theaters, how their comedy styles influenced generations of performers, and why audiences still argue over which approach holds up better today — patient character comedy or loud, relentless anarchy.

    Two shorts. Two philosophies. One very sore staircase.

  • Support Your Local Sheriff
    2026/01/21

    This week, the guys saddle up for Support Your Local Sheriff, a Western that wins shootouts without firing a shot and proves confidence is deadlier than a six-gun.

    We break down why James Garner's sheriff might be the calmest man in movie history, how Walter Brennan quietly steals every scene, and why this movie's smartest jokes are the ones that barely raise their voice. From the world's most confusing jail, to standoffs that collapse into awkward conversations, to authority that only works because everyone agrees to believe in it—we dig into the biggest laughs, blink-and-you-miss-it moments, and the movie's biggest problems.

  • Ghostbusters II
    2026/01/16

    This week on Hix Nix Stix Pix, we fire up the positively charged pink slime and take a deep dive into Ghostbusters II—the sequel that split fans but somehow marched straight into pop-culture immortality.

    Why does this movie feel so different from the original? How much did The Real Ghostbusters cartoon influence the tone, humor, and slime-to-screen ratio? Was Vigo the Carpathian an all-time creepy villain trapped in the wrong movie? And yes… we finally ask the question movies don't want you thinking about: how did the Statue of Liberty get back to Liberty Island?

    We break down what people love, what people hate, the unforgettable highlight scenes (courtroom chaos, bathtub terror, and Lady Liberty getting her groove on), Winston's quiet five-year grind between busting gigs, and why "Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and Higher" wasn't just a song choice—it was the entire thesis of the finale.

    Is Ghostbusters II an underrated comfort sequel, a live-action cartoon episode, or proof that sequels play it safe? Grab your mood slime, keep it positive, and join us as we find out.

  • The Maltese Falcon (1941)
    2026/01/09

    This week on Hix Nix Stix Pix, we step into the shadowy world of The Maltese Falcon, the movie that basically invented film noir. Humphrey Bogart's Sam Spade lies, bluffs, and outsmarts his way through a web of double-crosses, murder, and obsession — all over a bird that may not even be real.

    Put on your fedora, pour a stiff drink, and remember — it's the stuff that dreams are made of.
