Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Thirty-Nine: Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus (2013) Ronal the Barbarian (2011) "Art is magic... But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic." --Hans Hofmann Lo...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Thirty-Eight: Meander (2020) Méandre (2020) Proximity (2020) “Occasionally, I get a letter from someone who is in “contact” with extraterrestrials. I am invited to “ask them anything.” And so over the years I’ve prepared a little list of questions. The extraterrestrials are very advanced, remember. So I ask things like, “Please provide a short proof of Ferm...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Thirty-Seven: The Breadwinner (2017) Mutafukaz (2017) “Cartooning is preaching. And I think we have a right to do some preaching. I hate shallow humor. I hate shallow religious humor, I hate shallow sports humor, I hate shallowness of any kind.” ― Charles M.

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Thirty-Five: The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (2012) The Pirates! Band of Misfits (2012) Lava (2019) So here's the new format -- Russ and Frye are finally going head-to-head. We were tasked with animated comedy, so Frye has chosen a children's movie, while Russ has chosen an experimental, weird, divisive thing. That seems par for the...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Thirty-Four: Space Milkshake (2012) Comedies set in space. We're plumbing a shallow well here, but we just might have something. Also, you're in luck! This is the last episode of the old format -- at least for a while -- and we're trying something new next week. Thank you for listening to Hey James, Watch This! Have a great day -- and don&apo...

Send us Fan Mail Yeah there's no movie here. We talk about movies a bit. We were trying something new. Shut up.  Logo design by: https://www.fiverr.com/ideahits Intro voiceover by: https://www.youtube.com/kevincrocker heyjameswatchthis@gmail.com Follow us @heyjameswatch

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Thirty-Two: Censor (2021) You want more independent horror? We've got so much more. This week we bring a proper period piece from Thatcher's England. It's the height of the Video Nasty panic, and debut director Prano Bailey-Bond is bringing the goods.  Additionally, James decided to fix his audio this week, so this one's listenable. You&...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Thirty-One: The Last Thing Mary Saw (2021) The wheel was merciful this time. Independent horror is a generous well. Our only real downside is that Frye really doesn't like horror and it's up to Russ to drag him along, kicking and screaming. Our setting is upstate New York in 1843 and our theme is witchcraft. This is all feeling very familiar. Pun...

Send us Fan Mail Russ went to Vegas this week, so you're getting more of our outtake dreck. We'll be back next week with our usual nonsense. Here's hoping you like talk about video games and everyone's personal life. Enjoy!

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Nine: Theri (2016) थेरी (2016) Action. Musical. Well, you knew we'd have to be crossing some oceans for this one. If we need guns and explosions and romance and singing and dancing we're definitely headed for Bollywood. When your writer / director operates off a mononym, you know you're in for a good time.   Logo design by: https://www...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Expelled from Paradise (2014) 楽園追放 (2014) Animated. Thriller. Those are two words that seldom appear side-by-side, but Russ and Frye are always up for a challenge. Did you like The Matrix ? Gundam Wing ? Trigun ? Dune ? What if they all had a baby? And then that baby grew up to only provide fanservice? You just might end up with Expelled f...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Spin Me Round (2022) As of last week, we still haven't found something James likes. The wheel wanted independent drama, and that theme generally contains very few pirates, lighthouses, oilmen, or Cthulhu. He's just not biting, and we're getting bored of this category. It's up to Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, and Olive Garden t...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Six: Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (2014) Based on a true story. Do those words do anything for you? This week in independent drama, we bring you the based on a true story tale of Japan / Minnesota's least-effective treasure hunter.   Urban legends abound as we try to please The Wheel and finally find something James likes.  Logo design by: https:...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Five: Stop and Go (2021) Road movies. There aren't a lot of movies that embraced the COVID lifestyle. Most studios either shot around it or greenlit animated productions. One movie dared to show us all the lifestyle changes that would age as well as a carcass on a freeway. Whitney Call and Mallory Everton are taking a road trip from Albuquerque...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Four:  Bullet Train  (2022) The wheel has demanded comedy-thriller, and Brad Pitt has taken up the gauntlet. We're off to Japan for the most white-washed movie set on a shinkansen you've ever seen. When Michael Shannon is playing a Russian yakuza boss, you know some wires have gotten crossed somewhere.  Logo design by: https://www.fiverr.co...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Three: Class Action Park (2020) What is an action documentary, we wondered to ourselves after last week's episode. Then along came con-artist and criminal Gene Mulvihill to give us our answer. His brainchild was a meatgrinder of a playground called Action Park, and enough cannot be said about this Jackass of an attraction. The 80s and New Jersey...

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty-Two: Money Plane (2020) We're back! It's a listener request to start off 2023! This is the best movie released in 2020 that stars both a classically trained thespian and a WWE superstar. If you've ever wanted to see Edge act opposite Kelsey Grammer, now you can. The title alone is perfect, but is that an easy enough sell for James? Als...

Send us Fan Mail Happy 2023, everybody! We'll be back next week with the usual nonsense. There are some politics in this episode, but it's an outtakes episode and anything's fair game. Enjoy!

Send us Fan Mail Episode One Hundred and Twenty: Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022) Christmas horror, you say? There's a LIBRARY. This week it's director Joe Begos and a murderous robotic Santa Claus. No, not the one from Futurama .  Riley Dandy holds her own as the Final Girl in this movie that summarizes itself with its title. Let's be honest -- you know what you're getting. A...
