Do We Like Movies?

This episode is a bit of a sequel to one of the earlier reviews in Do We Like Movies? History. Our awesome friend and logo creator Danny joins the show along with our friendly neighborhood... he’s one of our only friends who knows Spider-Man, Jose. This week we cover Sam Raimi’s 2004 sequel to his 2002 Spider-Man film. This film is widely regarded among comic book fans as one of the best superhero...

For Angel this is Mandela Effect: The Movie. You'll find out why when you listen! A cult favorite from 2011, Drive tells the story of a Hollywood stunt driver (Ryan Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway driver for robberies. Our main character spends most of the film romancing a woman and her son while her husband (In an early unfortunate Latin gangster turn from the great Oscar Isaac) is in prison...

Hey Everyone, Well we're here, The Apocalypse (Hopefully not tho). We figured since we're all self-isolating for at least a month, it would make sense for both of your hosts have picked out 5 films each that deal with Isolation and social distancing. Check out this week's episode for a little fun banter and check out some of the films we are covering in this episode.. We are bound to mention some...

Bee our victim.. (Get it?!) This week we decided to jump on the hype of last week's trailer release for the Candyman sequel/remake and review the 1992 Bernard Rose/Clive Barker classic starring horror icon Tony Todd. The film revolves around the character of Helen Lyle who along with her best friend/colleague Bernadette Walsh are researching the urban legend of the Candyman who is known to haunt t...

**DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded by mistake using the wrong microphone and the audio quality is degraded.** No one is more shocked by us reaching 50 Episodes than... Us. We wanted to do something special and break from the regular format of the show. Each of us put together a list of 5 movies where they are either not highly regarded, hated, or liked for different reasons than you would ima...

The Roger Moore Era, This is the one era of Bond that neither of your hosts is too familiar with. That said, we were ready to turn the page on Sean Connery after Diamonds Are Forever's awful phoned in performance. The Iconography of Bond is on full display here with a Car that turns into a submarine, and famed metal mouthed Bond henchmen, Jaws. This story follows Bond as he teams up with a beautif...

Following the mixed response to On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the producers of the Bond series attempted a hard course correction, by dumping George Lazenby for the ever aging Sean Connery. Despite featuring maybe the greatest theme song by Shirley Bassey which most millennials remember because it was sampled by Kanye West in the 00s, this may be one of the worst enteries in the entire series....

This never happened to the other fellow... In 1969, James Bond experienced one of the earliest soft reboots in film history. This 1969 film takes many risks, chief among them being the replacement of film icon Sean Connery with a chocolate commercial actor by the name of George Lazenby. He is unique in that he is the only actor in this series that plays James Bond only once. This film also feature...

Do expect us to watch? No, Mr. Bond. We expect you to die. We kick off our James Bond series with the third film in the James Bond cannon. It revolves around 007 trying to save the world from the criminal mastermind who plans to radiate all the gold in Ft. Knox so that it loses its value. The movie is as wild as that last sentence. Join us as we get in the Aston Martin and do battle with the Austr...

Dead or alive you’re coming with us. Our first new episode of 2020 takes us back to a dystopian 80s future of this Paul Verhoven masterpiece. We follow Alex Murphy, a New Detroit police officer who is murdered and them gets turned to a cybernetic super cop.  While appearing shallow on the outside this film actually explores themes of capitalism, wealth disparities, violence and gentrification. 

We are EEEEEVILLLLLLL! To close out our first year of the show, we are covering one of the lesser remembered holiday horror films from the 80s that came after the massive success of Halloween (1978). In this film, an LA DJ/Party Show host(?) is hosting a big New Year's Eve punk concert while also receiving phone calls from a serial killer who announces he will commit a murder at midnight in all th...

At long last after nearly 9 months of reviewing Star Wars movies we have arrived at The Rise of Skywalker. The JJ Abrams directed concluding chapter of this saga is tasked with "correcting" all the mistakes of The Last Jedi, while also bringing the entire Star Wars main series to a close.  After much speculation as to who Rey's parents are, wondering how Emperor Palpatine figured into the story (s...

In 1974, director Bob Clarke’s Black Christmas was officially the first Holiday horror film. The film follows a group of women in a sorority house who are being stalked by a prank calling psychopath who is hiding in their attic. Join us as we try to parse through this tone shifting Horror classic. 

Ah listeners, missed you we have. In 2017 director Rian Johnson was tasked with following up JJ Abrams highly successful revival of the Star Wars franchise under Disney. The second film in this trilogy has sharply divided critics and movie goers (and the hosts of the show). One of us makes the case for why this film is great while the other makes the case for why is among the worst in the series....

There has been an awakening... in 2013 after Disney cashed out to buy LucasFilm, we got the announcement that Star Wars was really Back.  After decades of speculation, the House of Mouse finally delivered a sequel to Return of the Jedi meant to pick up the story of the Skywalker saga. This film introduced us to our new heroes Finn, Poe, and Rey, and showed how they fit into this overarching epic....

Hope you wore a clean pair of undapants In 1973 director William Friedkin and William Peter Blatty unleashes the scariest movie of all time on an unsuspecting world. Join us as we wrap up our Halloween film festival nice and late with the pea soup spitting, mother slapping, flawless monster making classic.

Long tracking shots of a non-distinct suburb, strong 80s synth score, and a young group of teenagers feeling a killing machine. In 2014, David Robert Mitchell delivered a great throwback to 80s slasher films, and helped usher in the new wave of elevated horror at the same time. This film follows Jay, a young adult woman who is being pursued by an evil entity who is passed and stalks people after s...

This podcast was inspired by a true story... Not really. But this week we dive into Tobe Hooper’s bizarre 1974 proto-slasher that follows a group of young hippie adults on a road trip in rural Texas as they encounter the evil, murderous Sawyer family. This film also features the debut of famous movie monster, Leatherface.

1982, John Carpenter released the film that is arguably as big a masterpiece as 1978’s Halloween. This film follows a group of American researchers in Antarctica who are faced with a shape-shifting extraterrestrial creature. Part of the brilliance of this film is how it challenges the audience to figure out which is the greatest threat.... Is it the other, or is those around us? 

Who would have thought that a San Diego townhouse could be so scary? in 2007, Oren Peli directed his micro-budget found footage horror film that would seal the coffin on torture porn horror. This film revolves around a young middle class couple who are filming a haunting in their home which evolves into a Demonic possession. This week your hosts turn on the night vision camera for Paranormal Activ...

Post-The Office, John Kransisky made his filmaking debut with this critically aclaimed Horror film.  This movie revolves around a post-apocalyptic world where sightless alien monsters decimate any living thing thats makes noise. Utilizing an actress who is actually deaf, this film has a grounded realism that will impress all who watch it

Good.... Good... We have reached the end our reviews of the original Star Wars trilogy. Gone is the icy tundra of Hoth, and welcome to the Forrest Moon of Endor (featuring Ewoks). George Lucas lightens the mood of the grim story that our heroes were caught in the last time. The Rebels try to stop the construction of Death Star II (or Deuce Star, if you will), while Luke is caught in a battle for h...
