Microsodes 2.0 | The Amateur (2025) Spoiler-Free Movie Review
Movie Reviews...from two different perspectives. 
Join us as we discuss the latest movie we streamed: The Amateur (2025). With a nod to the actual CIA, stealth missions, and the power of vengeance, we’re sharing what we thought about the movie.
What to expect: Black Mirror connections, a Finland cameo, Rami Malek’s not-so-secret twin brother, Bobby's ACDC "Back in Black" rendition, similarities to Jack[ed] Ryan, delusions of grandeur, the cacophony of silence, and what Bobby really thinks about using phones in theaters. (Plus, don’t forget to Ask Ashley about her exhaustive list of disclaimers.)
Let us know what you thought of the movie!

You’ll also hear Bobby’s lovely singing voice and a few unexpected tangents about crosstops, the Godzilla soundtrack, what video games Game Stop doesn’t carry, and the eternal question: are Ashley’s trailer rewrites longer than the movie?

Welcome to Microsodes 2.0 | Unfrosted (2024) Spoiler-Free Movie Review
A comedy movie podcast where we discuss the latest movie we streamed, but with more personality, less seriousness, and (as always) zero spoilers. 
Microsodes 2.0 is here! This is the first episode featuring our NEW podcast format! 
Starting now, we’re giving you…
- Movie Facts on EVERY episode!
- A more conversational movie review without individual category scores! (No more episodes that feel more like a “book report” than a podcast.)
- We’re upping the banter and letting our REAL personalities shine through a bit more.  
- (Basically, it’s going to be a little less serious and a LOT more fun - for you AND for us!)
And we’re still keeping it spoiler-free (so you don’t have to worry about us ruining anything - whether you want to see the movie or not).
In this episode, we discuss the 2024 Netflix comedy movie, Unfrosted, starring the OG Cereal Killer: Pop-Tarts, as well as Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, (and SO many more). Unfrosted is a semi-historical/satirical comedy centered around the development of Pop-Tarts (the OG Cereal Killer). 
You’ll also uncover a few tangents about astronaut food, yogurt tubes, the Milk and Cereal Boys, Ashley’s job as a shellfish, Bobby’s PSA you don’t want to miss, and why there’s a moth on the cover of Silence of the Lambs.
