The Greatest Movie Ever Made

David has taken the reins of the podcast for the month and is subjecting Justus to remakes of John Carpenter classics. We’re kicking things off with The Fog, a spooky seaside tale given a mid-2000s update in all the wrong ways. The Horror Master is taking a break this month and cashing checks. It’s Carpenter Copycats! The Fog (2005) is directed by Rupert Wainwright and stars Tom Welling, Maggie Gr...

It’s 4th of July, dipshits! Justus and David are celebrating all the things that make America the greatest country in the world: barbecues, ballgames, kicking the British in the nuts 250 years ago, and Nicolas goddamn Cage. Wrap your lips around a hot dog and join the boys for a whitewashed, sanitized, Disney friendly adventure through American history. Just ignore all the slavery and genocide com...

David and Justus are sucking in their guts and smoothing out their wrinkles this week as they dive into the zany horror-comedy cult classic DEATH BECOMES HER! The star-studded cast and wacky body horror is sure to delight the boys, but will they drink the potion that gives this flick eternal life in the hallowed halls of the TGMEM canon? Or will Zemeckis's first film on the podcast take a head...

HOO-AH! Al Pacino makes his illustrious debut on The Greatest Movie Ever Made this week in the color-drenched comic book noir DICK TRACY! Warren Beatty's ego knows no bounds as he unleashes a profoundly weird creative vision, complete with a bunch of character actors caked in prosthetics and a smokin' hot Madonna. Will David and Justus hop on the Beatty train and delight in this phantasmag...

This is a free preview of the full episode, which can be found on our Bandcamp page here! You can pay-what-you-wish to download the episode there! David and Justus are trying out something a little different with their first-ever installment of a potentially recurring side show: TV Party! The inaugural episode finds them unraveling the tangled web of David Lynch's surreal experimental masterpi...

With the horrors of The Pest safely in the rear view, Justus and David turn their eyes toward the cosmos. The notorious Roland Emmerich has cooked up some wacky sci-fi hijinks with ancient aliens and space Egyptians, and all this will surely make for a better movie than what the boys had to endure last week. Drink seven beers, practice your bad Ray Winstone impression for some reason, and join Kur...

For some unknowable reason, David picked The Pest this week. Hear him regret this decision on-mic and be berated by Justus for forcing this vile undertaking upon the podcast. It's tough to stay on-topic for a movie that your memory is actively attempting to repress as a trauma response, so they take some detours into anecdotes about past drug experiences, and (of course) the criminal history o...

It’s high time that the boys talk about the Coen brothers and they’ve decided to remedy that by discussing their first impressions of Barton Fink. Stay tuned for all the John Turturro action you crave. It’s time to get your Fink on! Barton Fink (1991) is directed by Joel Coen and stars John Turturro, John Goodman, Judy Davis, Michael Lerner, and John Mahoney  Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and Wh...

Justus and David have been studying the blade and are discussing Jim Jarmusch’s ultra-cool movie with an ultra-cool title. Stay tuned for facts about bears, more bad Werner Herzog voice, and thoughts about this genre-defying flick. Wu-Tang forever! Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) is directed by Jim Jarmusch and stars Forest Whitaker, John Tormey, Cliff Gorman, Henry Silva, and Issach de B...

Justus has decreed that the podcast will cover one Muppet movie per year, so it is once again time to dive into Jim Henson’s world of whimsy and felt puppets. This time, the boys are talking about the cultural moment that was and is The Muppet Movie, the first big screen adventure of Kermit and his friends. So hit play on your pod catcher and find the rainbow connection with TGMEM! The Muppet Movi...

In space, no one can hear you podcast, and the boys are making their yearly return to the Alien franchise to discuss this divisive third installment. Join them in the dingy hallways of Fury 161, where the only thing scarier than poorly composited xenomorph effects is evil 20th Century Fox producers. Plus, David and Justus get called in for an unexpected meeting. All this and more cosmic horrors aw...

So the director of The Descent totally shit the bed with his Hellboy remake, probably pissed off some producer, and has spent the last few years making direct to streaming slop. And the boys are going to talk about one of those! Neil Marshall returns to the podcast with a sexy wife/leading lady in tow and a bottom of the barrel Aliens rip off for the ages! The Lair (2022) is directed by Neil Marsh...

Rutger Hauer makes his long overdue return to the show, and the boys couldn’t be happier to once again be Slutgers for Rutger. Watch him slay watermelons and gross fat guys, and hear David get unreasonably angry about the child performance in this episode of The Greatest Movie Ever Made Blind Fury (1989) is directed by Phillip Noyce and stars Rutger Hauer, Terry O’Quinn, Brandon Cooper, Charles Co...

On the trail we blaze! With March Sadness in the rearview, the boys tackle a certified David Scandura Childhood Classic this week with THE ROAD TO EL DORADO. Is childhood nostalgia enough to overcome the rampant racism in this film? More importantly, are these animated horses hot??? Tune in to find out this week on The Greatest Movie Ever Made! The Road to El Dorado (2000) is directed by directed...

Oof, gang. March Sadness is going out with a bang with the critically-acclaimed family drama Aftersun. Tune in to hear David and Justus dissect the many small cruelties of being a man in his 30s. Plus: both of our hosts trauma dump about memories from childhood and beyond. Also, there's a surprisingly lengthy Cum Town riff? All this and more on this week's episode of The Greatest Movie Eve...

Justus’ March Sadness has inadvertently led to what could be its saddest installment yet. The boys discuss Robert Redford’s Academy Award winning debut feature and also spend too much time talking about Barbara Streisand's basement mall! Ordinary People (1980) is directed by Robert Redford and stars Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, Timothy Hutton, Judd Hirsch, and M. Emmett Walsh Music: “Fract...

March Sadness continues with a classic of French cinema, the story of a Frenchman who loses his farm because he spends too much money on wine. Okay, it’s a little deeper than that. Tune in to hear David and Justus’s bad French accents and discover more about this provincial (and Provençal) bummer of a film! Jean de Florette (1986) is directed by Claude Berri and stars Yves Montand, Gerard Depardie...

Justus kicks off his theme month, March Sadness, with a real bad time! Join the boys as they talk about this ugly depiction of grief and make a few too many jokes about it in the process.

The podcast “fires up” as the boys “butt” heads over Jason Reitman’s satire about the horrors of the tobacco lobby. They also ramble about Steven Seagal, Watto visits his friend Jeffery, and Jigsaw takes Luigi Mangione under his wing.  Thank You For Smoking (2005) is directed by Jason Reitman, Maria Bello, Cameron Bright, Adam Brody, and Sam Elliot Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Aud...

This week, Jada Pinkett Smith is hot, Billy Zane serves, CCH Pounder loses an arm, and the Crypt Keeper rises from the dead for a spooktacular episode of the Gravest BOOvie Ever Made! Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995) is directed by Ernest R. Dickerson and stars Billy Zane, William Sadler, Jada Pinkett Smith, CCH Pounder, and Brenda Bakke Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

So, apparently, the guy who played Mac in Predator also directed movies, and Justus and David are here to talk about one of them. Hear the boys discuss Larry goddamn Fishburne, coked out Jeff Goldblum, and the slick film noir stylings of Bill Duke’s Deep Cover. Deep Cover (1992) is directed by Bill Duke and stars Laurence Fishburne, Jeff Goldblum, Victoria Dillard, Gregory Sierra, and Clarence Wil...

The boys quite literally kick off a new season of episodes with The Raid! Tune in to hear all the gory details about the martial arts and extreme violence of the Indonesian action classic.  The Raid (2011) is directed by Gareth Evans and stars Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, Donny Alamsyah, Yayan Ruhian, and Pierre Gruno Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Another year of cinema has come and gone, and your drunken, illiterate hosts are here to break it all down. The movies were full of Irish vampires, zombies with big cocks, and Christmas Adventurers, and the boys are sharing their thoughts on the best, worst, disappointing, and surprising films of 2025. Enjoy a few small beers and kick off the new year with the Greatest Movie Ever Made! Music: “Fra...

It’s not every day that James Cameron has a new flick out in theaters, so the boys are seizing the opportunity to talk about Jim’s first journey to Pandora. It might be the most successful film of all time, but TGMEM really thought they needed to add their opinions on the kinky hair tentacle sex, unobtanium, and white savior narratives (and by white, we mean blue). James Cameron has done it before...

It’s getting colder and winter is settling in, so David and Justus cozy up around this wintry western with a delightful cannibal twist. If Robert Carlyle’s menacing man eating doesn’t scare you, the appearance of a convicted sex offender will! Gather round and chow down on this new episode of the Greatest Movie Ever Made! Ravenous (1999) is directed by Antonia Bird and stars Guy Pearce, Robert Car...
