At The Movies (10 Years Later)

Back before Hawkeye was starring in the Bourne series, Matt Damon proved he was no "Streisand" and completed one of the most solid trilogies in modern cinema. This week we look back on part two. Michael Jupp (@michaeljupp) joins me as we discuss cliche's, bad assassins, shady government cover-ups and how Julia Stiles is the smartest person in the movie. Such a thing has never been said before! All...

Still plugging through Summer '04, and this week a fine film fellow from sunny L.A. joins me as Alex Wolfe (@alahente) Skypes in to chat about robots and Will Smith. We discuss a great many things in this super-sized episode, like robot racism, product placement, how to get a PG rating AND have violent dismemberment and Shia Labouef being awful. All that, plus we visit the IMDB parents guide, shar...

What is there to say about Anchorman? The movie that spawned several catchphrases into our lexicon and made everyone realize how much they loved lamp and feared tridents. My good friend and movie fan Dave Sprout joins me this episode to discuss a movie that doesn't really need discussing, but we do it anyway. We also discuss Anchorman 2, improvisation and the "lost movie", Wake Up Ron Burgundy. Al...

Both 2004 and 2014 had Spider-Man 2's, and both had some issues. We hindsight the hell out of Sam Raimi's and wonder aloud if it's legacy is tarnished by the bafflingly awful Spider-Man 3? We also discuss Kirsten Dunst (aka the worst), great comic book casting, how Peter Parker's life is awful and how Alfred Molina's Doc Ock is unquestionably the best Spidey villain ever. All that plus IMDB parent...

"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball", and with those Rip Tornian words of wisdom a decade ago, a sport we all played in gym class became "a thing". Wyatt Arndt, my usual co-host on "The Legion of Blogcast" joins me this week, and he brought his raging hate-on for Justin Long. In addition to that, we discuss Ben Stiller's finest role, Vince Vaughn's decade of sametitude, Skillz that Ki...

Part interesting documentary, part intense manipulation, this week I do a solo episode on Fahrenheit 9/11. We're going a bit out of order here, because I needed a short episode for months end, so I decided to put this out early in place of "Dodgeball" (coming Tuesday). I didn't like this movie, and it's hard to see the significance of it a decade later when Bush still got re-elected. Still, I don'...

Rules of being a Necromonger: 1. You Keep What You Kill. 2. No Takesies Backsies. 3. Stupid Helmets are Required. Chris Baxter (@cbax) makes his return to the show as we watch and review Vin Diesel's 2004 passion project. We discuss helmets, lizard-pumas, Judi Dench, gross kissing, future technology and outrunning the sun. All that, plus we play a game of "Chronicle Wars: Riddick or Narnia?", give...

FALCONHORSE! This week I'm joined by a Harry Potter fanatic (because I am not) as my longtime friend Janine Guy stops by to discuss the movie in which Harry Potter started to grow up. We discuss how Harry is an asshole, Draco is awesome, names are silly, adults are irresponsible and how people who look like rats, make good rats. All that, plus we add to the IMDB parents guide, look at some fun fac...

What happens when a rugged climatologist predicts a new ice age will happen in a hundred years or so? Well if it's a Roland Emmerich movie, chances are he's WAY wrong and it happens several days later. Ryan Biech from the "Game Time Decision" podcast (@GTDpod) joins me this week as we discuss CGI wolves, outrunning cold, Sela Ward's cougish hotness, proper character development, hypothermia and wh...

Remember 10 years ago, when the "Shrek" film franchise kicked ass? So do we. Take a trip back in time with Bow and returning guest host Jen Baxter as they watch a downright wonderful green ogre movie. Before Justin Timberlake and Rumpelstiltskin drove the series into the ground, Shrek 2 was a box office beast. We discuss hair (obviously), indignant furniture, ADORABLE LITTLE BOOTS and donkey/drago...

It was a time long before Twitter, when making sure your name lived through the ages meant jump-killing everyone in sight and being the only guy around with a clean shaven face. This week, Jared Rushton joins me as we watch and review Wolfgang Peterson's (flop?) "Troy". We ended up watching the theatrical cut, which sucks because the directors cut includes more Ajax, more brutality and more boobs....

Hugh Jackman and his luscious flowing hair does battle with Dracula, The Wolfman, Mr. Hyde, Igor, a trifecta of hell bitches and Frankenstein....'s monster (if you wanna be a dick about it). This week, Chris Baxter from "That Thing You Like" joins me as we watch a movie that is awful, except for one heroic cow that dared to stand up to vampiric tyranny and inspired us to keep watching the garbagew...

One of two movies that brought about the entire idea for this podcast, it's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Mean Girls. Joining me this week are the boys from "That Thing You Like" (Brian Shirlaw, Chris Baxter) and former guest host Jen Baxter. Listen as we discuss our favourite characters and moments from the film, as well as what it means to be "half a virgin". All that plus awards, fun...

Denzel Washington is an alcoholic with a dark past, then stuff happens. Butt stuff. It's episode 6, and #ATM10 is taking a look at Tony Scott's revenge epic "Man on Fire". We discuss Marc Anthony's sex appeal, Radha Mitchell's accent and the fact that Dakota Fanning actually made us wish she got rescued from kidnappers. That was a high mountain for this movie to climb, but dammit, it climbed it.

The roaring rampage of revenge comes to an incredibly conversational conclusion, and good buddy Casey Bailey is along for the discussion. 10 years ago, a VERY different film from the over-the-top slash fest that was "Kill Bill: Volume 1" sat atop the box office, and we dive right in. From revenge spit, to white trash oompa lumpas, to awful pimps, coffin punches, psychotic daughters and the infamou...

DISCLAIMER - I am not a religious person, neither is my guest this week, Andy Shirlaw from the 4 Eyed Forecast. Instead, we are just two guys who love movies and want to be entertained by one. It didn't really happen this time around, but hopefully you still enjoy this episode. It's okay if you didn't do the required viewing. This is a difficult movie to watch. No offence intended by any of our co...

He's got a right hand of doom, and a left hand for guns/cigars. This week Jen Baxter joins the show for her first appearance as we discuss the No.1 movie from 10 years ago...Hellboy. We get into the use of Nazi's as antagonists, Kroenen's bad assery, apocalyptic headline timing and whether or not flood lights work in space.

We are already two episodes in, and already I have partial regrets about the premise. For the first time in history, a screenwriter had the distinction of having two movies open at No.1 at the Box Office in back to back weeks. That man was James Gunn, and unlike last week's fantastic "Dawn of the Dead", his second No.1 was "Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed" which was king a decade ago. Joining me...

It's the first episode of "At the Movies...10 Years Later", and to kick it off we have one of two movies that inspired the entire podcast. Host Jordan Bowman is joined by Brian Shirlaw and Chris Baxter of "That Thing You Like" to discuss Zack Snyder's controversial zombie opus, sleeves, and croquet mallets.
