Damn Good Movie Memories

Everyone loves an underdog (unless you live in New England, just kidding Patriot fans!)  and in this week’s episode we discuss our favorite underdog movies.  Some of our choices are predictable, but many are not.  You’ll just have to listen to find out!

If you’re a movie fan like we are, there are certain films where you can recite line after line, almost like you starred in the film yourself.  In this episode we let the clips do the most of the talking as we share our favorite quotable movies.

We thought about making this a bloated three-hour episode in tribute to the films we feel are much too long, but that would be too ironic for our own good.  However, like a competent film editor, we jam pack our picks into a brisk one-hour discussion.  You will not be bored with this episode!

Have you ever been tricked into watching a movie because it’s supposedly the best movie ever made?  Only to be bored senseless and wondering why you’re even friends with the person that recommended the film?  If this has happened to you, this is the episode to check out!  Join us for our discussion of movies that we didn’t like, but everyone seems to rave about.

Before starting a movie podcast, your host had dreams of being on the radio.  This episode will take you “Back to the Future” (see what I did there?) as you get to hear clips from my college radio show circa 1999-2000.  Those years were the foundation for what “Damn Good Movie Memories” would eventually become.  Join the BLT (Brian and Leah Time) for a blast from the past!

’Tis the season...to listen to movie podcasts!  That’s right, it’s time to discuss our favorite holiday movies and because we’ll always be kids-at-heart, here’s a peak at the main gift of this episode:  Tons of content around “A Christmas Story”!!  If you’re a fan of that classic, you will absolutely love this episode. 

Sequels often get a bad rap, but there are a select few that really take the enjoyment of a first film to the next level.  For this episode, we discuss our favorite movie sequels. Keep in mind we don’t necessarily consider these films to be the “best”, just our favorites.  Enjoy!

This episode could have been titled “Spoiler Alert!”, as we discuss movies that we wish had different endings.  This task was much more difficult than we anticipated when it came to coming up with a list of films that fit our criteria.  Join us for this fascinating journey of endings that should have been better.

In this episode we only have one guest: Dr. Dave Nichols.  We discuss topics from the first eight DGMM episodes, along with delving into music and sports.  Enjoy this fly-on-the-wall experience as you get to hear Dr. Dave and I chat seamlessly for over an hour. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area and looking for a fabulous chiropractor, contact Dr. Dave Nichols at Belmont Advanced Chiropracti...

Guilty pleasure (or “misunderstood masterpieces”…thanks Mahlon!) movies could mean a few things:  You might enjoy a movie that was critically panned or was a box office bust.  You might enjoy a movie that film snobs turn their nose at and will mock you for your tastes.  Whatever your guilty pleasure movie (or misunderstood masterpiece) may be, we cover all the bases on this episode!

Gangsters and organized crime has been amply depicted in countless films since the early 1930s.  In this episode we chat about our favorite movies depicting the crime underworld.  “Go get your shinebox!”

Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most popular and revered directors in movie history.  Over his 50+ year career he changed the way movie fans watched films and how films were made.  Join us for this episode as we discuss our favorite Hitchcock films.

While some may root for the hero, the villains are almost always the most interesting characters.  On this episode we talk about our favorite movie villains, sans superhero films.  Let’s face it, without a strong villain, the hero can’t possibly reach their full potential.  So, let’s get evil on this episode!

We’ve all been on bad dates and we’ve all seen bad movies.  Therefore, what could be better than hearing stories about the worst movies our interview subjects saw while on a date?  In addition, don’t you want to hear about movie dates that are simply awful regardless if the movie was good or not?  Of course you do!  Join us for this episode which covers both of these nightmare scenarios. (Think of...

Right in time for the Halloween movie season!  We hear about everyone’s favorite scary films, along with specific scenes (not necessarily from horror classics) that freaked our interview subjects out when they were kids.  Don’t listen to this with the lights out!  Unless you’re camping, then it’s fine.  Unless it's Crystal Lake.  Oh, nevermind….

Debut episode for Damn Good Movie Memories! In this episode we talk to a wide range of people about their first movie experience at a theater. Enjoy and join the discussion!
