Myopia Movies

Well, this is the reason you all chose this series isn't it? "Oh, Nic," you thought, "Nic you FOOL! MUHAHAHAHA, this will teach you to trust democracy!" And you laughed! Well, listen here, guy. We survived Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and it was better than I remembered! Not much, but still... Please continue to rate and review us!

We leave the prequel and end up with the final entry into the saga, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Well, the last one for 19 years. I am sure the momentum will keep up when you save one of the most famous treasures in Christendom and introduce an incredible father character. Well, only time will tell!  Please continue to rate and review us! We are on  iTunes ,  Google Play ,  Stitcher , and n...

When last we left Indy, he had defeated the Nazis, saved the girl, and lost the Ark of the Covenant to bureaucratic red tape. However, this week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we find out where he was before that movie in the one that everyone used to think was the worst! We watched the prequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, who says Short Round doesn't age well! Everyone, everyone says...

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we fall back in love with a great character who doesn't really matter in the plot of his own movie. We watched Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark!

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watch a movie that is not sure what it is. Deep Rising is part Alien, part Poseidon Adventure, part heist film, part inside man movie, all mess and bad CGI! A treat(?), but with appropriate scares to wrap up this monster month. Please continue to rate and review us! We are on  iTunes ,  Google Play ,  Stitcher , and now  Spotify  and could use the sup...

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we visit Bill Pullman after that whole President thing and hear some of the worst dialog put to celluloid. We watched Lake Placid, people really need to stop ripping off Steven Spielberg, ok? And no, your pitch of what if Betty White were the bad guy in a Jurassic Park meets Jaws crossover starring a giant alligator does not sweeten the pot. Well, I am l...

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we remember the era when David Arquette could open a movie. Well, just the reason he was never asked to again. We continue our monster movie month with the horror comedy Eight Legged Freaks! Please continue to rate and review us! We are on  iTunes ,  Google Play ,  Stitcher , and now  Spotify  and could use the support; the more ratings you give the easi...

Welcome to the monster movie month Matthew maintained! This year for October we crack out a few spooky movies and have a little fun with them; well, as much as can be had with some of this crap. We start with the baffling big budget monster film Godzilla (1998). Fresh off the crushing success of Independence Day, Roland Emmerich has made some upgrades! Replacing sexy and charismatic Will Smith and...

The last ‘Cool in College Movie’ is the Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman/Wachowski film ‘V for Vendetta.  Filled with masks, music, more masks, government-controlled media pretending to be independent, masks, explosions, masks, genocide, and masks; this movie has something for everyone! Please continue to rate and review us! We are on  iTunes ,  Google Play ,  Stitcher , and now  Spotify  and coul...

Hello! This week a we watch a movie that created a Gyllenhaal dynasty and gave me a righteous fear of rabbits. We watched Donnie Darko, do you doubt MY commitment to Sparkle Motion?

Welcome to the next month in our season 5 line-up, Cool In College. Curated by Daniel, these movies were the posters on every wall sold in the quads from under a cheap canopy. These were the movies you thought were profound when you were in your late teens and early twenties, do they hold up or are they cheap messages and indie film money from the 90's. We will find out together!  Our first pick i...

Has there ever been a joke that people around you like, but you just don't find funny? Maybe it has been stripped down from a better joke, or told so many times that it is no longer funny. With that image in your head, we watch the Little Rascals, from the director of Wayne's World. You heard me.  This is the last precocious kid movie of the month and boy is it as doozy with a surprise cameo you w...

Welcome to Camp Nowhere, the camp at the wrong end of summer, hosted by a discraced former high school teacher who wants to spend his summer in an abandoned cabin near a group of kids. Yay?  First thanks for sharing the last episode, it did great and hopefully the season will continue so well! Second, please continue to rate and review us! We are on iTunes , Google Play , Stitcher , and now Spotif...

As precoucious kid month rolls on, we watch a Matthew classic! While this was not a movie I had not seen before, it lurks on in the pantheon of weird 80s movies. It has all the classic elements, nerd girl who is actually gorgeous but hideous because she has glasses, jocks and nerds, washed out hippies, and Eisenhower ordering the destruction of alien technology. Also, boring pacing! Fun! First tha...

Welcome to Season 5 of Myopia: Defend Your Childhood ! We continue the precociousness with a blast from the cartoon past, which is the only reason I can imagine that Father Guido Sarducci, Dan Ackroyd, Clint Eastwood, Rodney Dangerfield, and Mel Gibson did cameos.  Further, this helps cement Christina Ricci in the 1990s, why Brad Garrett is CGI animated in all of Pixar's movies, and is between sta...

Welcome to Season 5 of  Myopia: Defend Your Childhood ! We return strong and refreshed with constantly mentioned ‘stay-tuned’ episode, the Danny DeVito directed Roald Dahl classic, Matilda! What can you expect in the new season? So much!   First, once a month, we will have a bonus episode! (We even released one last month, if you did not tune in). Second, new theme song! Third, rather than seeming...

So, I was reminded that half the world is upside-down, which is a polite way of saying wrong, of course. So, in honor of our hundreds of listeners in Australia and New Zealand and the four people in Argentina, two in Chile, ten in South Africa, and twenty-four listeners in Brazil, we would like to share Thomas' choice, a winter film; Batman Returns. And what's not to like? Thomas' first podcast ev...

In honor of the big summer blockbuster Mission: Impossible - Fallout, starring Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Angela Bassett, and Alec Baldwin , we remind you of a time where Jean Reno and Emilio Estevez could open a movie with Tom Cruise, let alone a movie. We are watching Mission Impossible! This surprise remake of an old TV property with the twists and turn...

Hello there! I hope that summer is treating you with sunny days and frosty air conditioning! I am from Atlanta, as many here know, and it is too hot to think...or be funny, hence reruns! We return this we with a Sci-Fi blast from the past and you know what that means... this is Matthew's choice! The Last Starfighter, which at this point more people know from Robot Chicken than the original movie!...

Hello friends and thanks for tuning in during this summer break! I hope you are staying refreshed and cool.  This week we rerun a classic: Road House. Why is it a classic, you may ask. Well, I'll tell you! Daniel picked this one for many reasons. First, it was one of the most requested movies we had done to date. Second, it was a lot of fun to record, funny to listen to, and memorable overall. Thi...

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watch a 1990's spoof movie, the Fifth Element! Self-referencial, parodying, and self-effacing, this comedy. . .wait, this they took this serious? Oh no. . . .Well, I guess we learned that French humor is wierd. Note: Sorry about the static, there was an issue I tried to fix. I promise it is better than George of the Jungle, but it would almost have to...
