Down To Watch

Down to Watch TV ventures into the mind bendy world of Legion this week as we try and make sense of the latest Marvel series. Listen in to hear what we thought of the adventures of maybe Professor X's son and his friend April Ludgate. It's all in the mind, you know...

Holy throwback podcast, Batman! We saw the 1966 campy classic Batman the Movie starring Adam West. Listen in as the DTW crew has different degrees of fun with this goofy flick. It's a real scrap! Bam! Pow! Zot!!!

Action! Story! Fonts! DTW saw King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, in theaters and everything, and then talked into microphones about it! The Guy Richie directed flop might have under-performed at the box office but did it fail... in our hearts? Time to find out!

The DTW crew is back with a throwback about a dude, playin a dude... Disguised as another dude! We watched Tropic Thunder and we have some things to say about it. Does it still hold up? Listen and find out what we think!

Down to Watch throws back to a time when family movies could be about monsters causing havoc all through small town America. We watched 1984's Gremlins, and had a pretty good time with it too! Come have a listen, we eventually talk about the movie even!

DTW TV heads over to the award winning FX show Atlanta this week to meet some of the weird folks who populate the town in the minds of creator Donald Glover and his team. Listen as we discuss the ins and outs of the show, what we love about it and then veer wildly off topic! Best of both worlds!

Hey there, bubs! DTW went to the theaters to watch Wolverine get old in Fox/Marvel's Logan. What does it look like to be over a hundred years old living like Wolvie does sometime in the near future? We'll tell ya, so come listen!

Down to Watch went back to 1974's Mel Brooks classic (cult?) Blazing Saddles! Groundbreaking in its time, brazen against bigotry and also a real dumb movie (Mel said it!) , this one took some of us back to inappropriate childhood viewing and was a first for the others. Wanna know how to lure some kkk members over to steal their costumes? We'll show ya!

Bonus DTW nTheaters for you guys! We definitely had to watch Get Out and talk about it, and you should too! This movie is great, and we had a fun time talking about all the performances, themes of the movie and how it played with cliches and tropes of the horror and comedy genres. Be warned, it's all spoilers so just go watch the movie!

Sci-fi cowboys and philosophical musings abound this week! The DTW team rides into HBO's Westworld this week and shucks howdy they sure had a lot to say about it. Plenty of commentary about the show overall but the podcast covers some of the twisty plot so it's gonna sound crazy if you haven't watched yet. Go ahead and take a listen, and try doing the robot, maybe you're a host too!

The DTW crew goes farther into space than ever before in this week's throwback movie, 1997s Contact! Join Jodie Foster and company on an interstellar adventure to discover dead dad aliens? Spoiler what? Check it out!

This week In Theaters has the DTW crew talking about John Wick Chapter 2. Thats right, the Boogeyman, Baba Yaga himself. It's a little tangent heavy at first and the end gets a little socially conscious but that middle section, hoo boy! Just listen to the whole podcast, it'll be great!

Throwback Thursday at DTW shines a spotlight on the 1981 John Landis horror-comedy An American Werewolf in London! Is it a cult classic? Is it a horror with jokes or a comedy with a monster? Are sex scenes necessary? We're talking about nazi monsters gunning down a family, a car pileup that goes bananas and a hilarious exchange in a background porn film! All these things and more on DTW-TT.

This week on DTW_TV Dan, Mike and Raul watched the second season of Lovesick, formerly known as Scrotal Recall! See if you can figure out what happened on this charming chronological mishmash! Is it day or night? It's England!

It's throwback time at Down to Watch, as the guys talk about the terror (or comedy?) of the Stanley Kubrick classic, The Shining! Try to figure out what Mike thinks is so funny about all this blood while Dan and Raul trade theories and discuss approaching this film from many angles. Also, Mike doesn't like clowns!

Join the DTW crew as they go on a harrowing mission in a galaxy far far away, just don't expect us to remember the name of the planet! In this episode we discuss the star wars side story, Rogue One. Are we one with the force or is our lack of faith disturbing? Gonna have to listen to find out...

Down to Watch went back to the theater to check out La La Land, thanks to the survey results. Dan, Raul and Mike get into a little social discourse behind the production but quickly get back to what they thought about the movie. Please to enjoy!

Time for another throwback Down to watch, and this time we're talking bout freeeeeedom! Specifically the 90s epic Braveheart, not the terrible Paul Mccartney pro USA jam. Dan, Raul and Mike run down what this movie meant historically and artistically... and disagree! What!?

This month on DTW-TV, we watched the latest offering from the Marvel/Netflix machine, Luke Cage! Do bulletproof skin and blaxploitation sensibilities add up to small screen success? Raul and Dan (and Mike a little) might have some thoughts about it that you can listen to if you download and then listen to this episode! Go find out!

The guys go way back this week, all the way to 1951 for John Huston's classic, The African Queen! This one sits at #65 on AFI's Greatest Movies of All Time list, so lets hear what the Down To Watch crew thinks of Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn making cinema history. They might even stay on topic...

This week's throwback movie asks the timeless question, "Are you cool?" Jonnie, Raul and Dan (and Mike) travel back to 1993, and then from there back to 1976 to revisit the classic coming of age movie, "Dazed and Confused". We see a few stars in early roles and a bunch of people we would never see again as we drift through Richard Linklater's vision of 70s high school from various points of view....

DTW In Theaters back with another big screen entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! The DTW guys are going from strange things to strange doctors, watching TVs Sherlock Holmes match wits with TVs Hannibal Lecter. That's right, we watched Mr. Doctor! Strange! Listen to what we think and lets try to stay on topic this time, kinda!

We're back for another episode of Down to Watch TV edition! Join us for coffee and contemplation as we travel to the undergrou... err, upside down and drop a spoiler warning but then proceed to spoil just a little! Friends don't lie!

Hey y'all. Hot Fuzz was a pop culture savvy director's sophomore attempt to define and goof on love for big bombastic blowouts that gave us Johnny Utah, John John McClane and the bad boys from... err, Bad Boys. And Bad Boys 2. Did he succeed? Find out as Mike, Dan and Raul try (and fail!) to stay on topic but definitely give us their very necessary opinions on Edgar Wright's second film. YARP!

If our calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna hear some serious podcast! Join Dan and Raul (and Mike, a little!) to remember this week's throwback movie, 1985's Back to the Future! Poster tagline of the week!: 17 year old Marty McFly got home early last night. 30 years early.
