Always See Everything - A Criterion Movie Podcast

The worlds greatest movie podcast slash detective duo taken on the case of “who stole David Fincher’s idea for Zodiac?” Turns out, the culprit was four movies, all of which came out years before Zodiac was even conceived, and two of which predated the Zodiac Murders themselves! Who knew!?!?! Once the suspects are in custody, we grill them like only we can. Picnic at Hanging Rock leaves us with mor...

This week brings a new meaning to “monster mash” as we are forced to confront the depths of human depravity expressed through mutilation, murder, warped sexuality, and a truly incredible Brooklyn accent.  Paul Morrissey brings us Flesh for Frankenstein and Blood for Dracula, which Anthony and Sean have completely inverse opinions on. George Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead is next, an...

Anthony and Sean go full ALPHA in this episode! (This is satire). They really break out their most masculine personas and complete themselves through raw dominant energy! (This is satire). In doing so they cover some of the big dogs in cinema: Godard's Alphaville, the always-on-that-grind Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday, De Niro and Scorsese doing an Alpha fusion to make Raging Bull, and S...

Posted better late than never, Anthony and Sean watch all good movies this week! We're in for an episode full of social commentary starting with Verhoeven's RoboCop, then Kurosawa's return to the podcast with his absolute banger High and Low, followed by two portraits of an American city in Altman's Nashville and Lee's Do The Right Thing. Even in a week of all great films, we g...

Anthony and Sean agree with each other a lot on Cronenburg's Dead Ringers, share opinions on David Lean's Summertime, and are on the same wavelength about two animated films, Watership Down and Fantastic Planet. For most podcasts that means a very boring episode but for the Always See Everything podcast, it means lots of loopy humor including getting our own spine number in the Criterion C...

Anthony and Sean get a bit off track as they talk about their second Samuel Fuller film, Shock Corridor, their second Alex Cox film, Sid and Nancy, Elaine May's descent into masculine friendship with Mikey and Nicky, and Elem Klimov's insane masterpiece meditation on the horror of WWII, Come and See. Our rambling includes a really long rant about Wojacks, a lot of impression of British roc...

The first rule of this episode is; you do not talk about this episode! Anthony and Sean have done what no podcast ever could by creating the greatest episode ever! How did they do it? By avoiding discussion of The Naked Kiss, having even less to say about The Lady Eve, arguing over True Stories, approaching Salò with a ten-foot pole, and then adding in extended discussions of Superman, Fight Club,...

It is said that tough times make hard men. Therefore, in this week without an episode of Always See Everything, it's only right that one of the world's hardest men takes matters into his own hands. In this very special episode, Sean will be your guiding light through one of the medium's most complex masterpieces, by perhaps its most haunted artist. Wizard So So: Fun Magical Adventure w...

In this all sequenced, no picks episode, Anthony and Sean tackle Best Picture winner The Silence of the Lambs and its cultural impact and then talk about the "very cool" Samurai Trilogy. Discussion over the Nostalgia Critic continues as Anthony reveals deeply hidden farm animal-related trauma of his own and Sean decides to take the podcast into his own hands by, for the first time in the...

Count the number of times Sean says Lads from Liverpool or The Fab Four because in this, our longest episode yet, Anthony and Sean are talking about John Woo, death, and, for some reason music! We got The Seventh Seal kicking off our old chess debate, This is Spinal Tap taking our spine numbers above even eleven, A Hard Day's Night making us decide which of the Beatles we are, The Velvet Under...

For some reason, Anthony and Sean are obsessed with the Nostalgia Critic this week as they talk about the action-packed Hard Boiled, the animal-abuse-packed Walkabout, the Tarantino-inspiration-packed Tokyo Drifter, and the anti-American-sentiment-packed Walker. Listen to hear Sean address TikTok, Anthony seamlessly cut out a spicy joke his cohost made, and the great Walker Debate that shakes our...

Anthony and Sean pop the cork on a new miniseries on the films of John Woo! Along the way, tune in as they remember A Night to Remember, never forget The Killer, reminisce on Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, and fourth thing Adam Sandler’s Uncut Gems. This week’s mayhem includes Metal Gear Solid references that explain why Sean’s mic quality is so bad, a personal anecdote about maybe the wors...

Join the episode as old as time where Anthony and Sean basically ignore 400 Blows in favor of Beauty and the Beast theming; the Beauty is the Archers' classic The Red Shoes while the Beast takes the form of Japan's relationship to nuclear power in Godzilla . This week's bits include Sean comparing himself to every character, a brilliant Osmosis Jones metaphor, Anthony's sneaky idea...

Only 90s kids will get this episode! Western Civilization continues its deterioration as Anthony and Sean take their Criterion Collection mission through a Twilight Zone impression in Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, the disturbing raunchiness of Amarcord, the mind-expanding philosophies of My Dinner With Andre, and the devastatingly accurate documentary work of Hoop Dreams. Discussion includes Sean...

The epic journey begins. Anthony and Sean start their mission to complete the Criterion Collection by diving into four films with themes of honor in death, samurai code, and lonely guys killing dudes. This week is all about the boys as we talk about the very French The Grand Illusion, Kurosawa's renowned masterpiece Seven Samurai , and two very closely related films, Le Samourai and Ghost Dog:...

Welcome to Always See Everything, the greatest movie podcast of all time, where we rate, review, and riff on every single film in the Criterion Collection. Anthony, who aspires to be the greatest of all film critics, and Sean, who eats nerds like him for breakfast, are intent on completing this trek by watching four films every single week; two in order of spine number, and two determined by the h...
