This show is about movies, but it’s really about conversation. We dig into films we love, films we argue about, and films that land differently depending on who’s watching. We compare opinions, challenge each other, and disagree without turning it into a fight. Liking different things doesn’t make anyone wrong, it just makes the conversation better. If you enjoy thoughtful debate, strong opinions, and the idea that fandom should bring people together instead of pushing them apart, you’re in the right place.

What is a Christmas movie?
Monday Mar 03, 2025
Monday Mar 03, 2025
This week’s episode takes a little detour. Vern is away while his son recovers in the hospital, so Josh is joined by longtime friend Bob for a discussion that always sparks a holiday debate: what actually makes a Christmas movie a Christmas movie?
They dive into Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Gremlins, Batman Returns, Iron Man 3, Edward Scissorhands, and even the curveballs people insist belong on “non-traditional Christmas movie” lists. Along the way, they break down which stories truly rely on the holiday and which ones just happen to be set in December.
It’s a fun conversation, a little nostalgic, and packed with movie talk that’ll either settle the argument once and for all or send you back to the comments ready to defend your favorites.
Vern should be back next week as the Star Wars series picks up again with The Phantom Menace.

Today, Josh and Vern discuss one of the most divisive of all of the Star Wars movies, the Phantom Menace. Please forgive some of the sound issues. I am still trying to figure out how to keep our voices at a similar volume, but even conducting sound checks before we start recording, there seems to be an issue with my voice sounding much louder than Vern's. Please tell your friends if you enjoy the show. Thanks everyone!

Episode 3 - Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi Part 1

Hi everyone! This week, Vern and Josh discuss Return of the Jedi. We also learned how to keep ourselves more on topic, instead of straying too far.
We also changed our recording process. When we recorded the episode on The Empire Strikes Back, we tried to keep the conversation to one hour, but at the 1:05 mark, we had to cut it off, and it felt like we had a lot more to say about it. So starting this week, we recorded all of our thoughts until we had expended the topic, and now we are splitting the episode into shorter times, rather than one very long episode. Going forward, we will keep our episodes down to between 40 and 60 minutes. Thanks everyone!

Episode 2 - Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back

Welcome to Psyber-Conversations, where we discuss what we like and dislike about our favorite movies, but most importantly, where we disagree like civilized people. We don't bash each other for not agreeing, we don't bully someone for being different, and we learn each other's point of view, in the hope that we might broaden our horizons. Today, Josh and Vern discuss The Empire Strikes Back and why it is among the best of Star Wars.
Also, I've learned a little more about sound editing since last week, and I tried to get the feed from both our microphones closer together, so hopefully one of us is not a lot louder than the other. Thanks everyone!
