Educating Jeremy

This week, Deana and Jeremy talk about the AMC series NOS4A2. An adaptation of the Joe Hill book by the same name.    Both of them are big fans of Joe Hill. Did they love it? Did they hate it? Or was it just...meh?

This week, we took Jeremy's son Ian to see Young Frankenstein at Laurel Hill Cemetery's "Cinema in the Cemetery"! This was going to be an Educating Ian episode but, as it turns out, Jeremy had not seen this one either!

In this episode Deana Marie and Jeremy watch and discuss the 2013 film Horns starring Daniel Radcliffe, based on the second novel by horror author Joe Hill.  Both hosts read the book, Jeremy barely remembers it and Deana Marie gushes over our author and the star of the film. This one is filled with a few more laughs than usual, even more clips thanks to Jeremy's sound board and lots of conversatio...

Deana Marie and Jeremy head back to the 80s with the 1984 sci-fi apocalypse film Night of the Comet, starring Kelli Maroney and Catherine Mary Stewart.  Night of the Comet is one of Deana Marie's special selection of lesser known 80s films, a movie Jeremy thinks is filled with all the trappings of a typical 80s movie, but maybe with a little more to offer.  Leave your Mastercards at home because t...

WARNING: If you have not seen Jordan Peele's new movie Us, do NOT listen to this episode!  It is filled with SPOILERS! Deana Mare and Jeremy change it up in this episode, discussing a new release movie: Us, written and directed by Jordan Peele.  Our hosts were thrilled for the release of Us, but were they thrilled when they left the theater? While the movie is new, the format is the same; our host...

This episode we talk about one of the quintessential movies of the 1980's! 1984's The Neverending Story!

The Wizard of Oz is Deana's favorite movie of ALL TIME! If she could only have one movie to watch for the rest of her life, it would be this one. Turns out, Jeremy had never seen it...kind of... BUT! It came to the theater down the street for a special 80th Anniversary showing. So, of course, we had to go see it.    Last episode, we promised a 80's fantasy movie. But this was a "movie emergency" a...

Jeremy and Deana Marie keep the holiday spirit going with the modern Christmas romantic comedy Love Actually, written and directed by Richard Curtis.  Please ignore the fact Deana Marie has to convince Jeremy this film is actually a Christmas movie.  It's got a stellar ensemble cast, a terrific soundtrack and a bigger fan in Jeremy than Deana Marie expected. 

In this holiday episode of Educating Jeremy, Deana Mare and Jeremy share their thoughts and feelings about the 1946 Christmas classic film It's a Wonderful Life, directed by Frank Capra and starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.  This is the FIRST (and only) Jimmy Steward movie Jeremy's ever seen, while It's a Wonderful Life was a part of Deana's childhood and a long standing Christmas tradition....

This week Deana educates Jeremy about ELF! 

By listener request we have flipped the script!  In this episode Jeremy gets to educate Deana Marie about the 2015 film Age of Adeline starring Blake Lively, Ellen Burstyn,  Michiel Huisman  and Harrison Ford.  This is the first episode in which Jeremy picked the movie; now its Deana's turn to get educated!  NOTE: Our hosts experienced an unexpected technical difficulty recording this episode and...

We continue our horror movie celebration (yeah, Halloween is over but so what) with the 2004 horror adventure comedy Shaun of the Dead, directed by Edgar Wright, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.  This is the first film in what Deana Marie calls the Trifecta, although its more widely known as one of the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy.  Deana Marie absolutely loves this unique take on the classic...

Deana Marie and Jeremy had a most excellent date night recently; watching the classic horror film Nosferatu outside at Laurel Hill Cemetery, one of the oldest and first pastoral cemeteries in the country.  This film is nearly 100 years old and has influenced so many films and filmmakers.  It's even featured in an episode of Sponge Bob Square Pants.  Turn the lights down low because it's about to g...

This week, Deana Marie educates Jeremy about what some people call the scariest movie of all time...The Babadook! 

Our trip down the memory lane of 80s movies continue with a listener requested film from 1989: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. How 16 year old Jeremy never saw this movie when it was released is beyond anyone's comprehension.  Yeah, it's cheesy.  Yeah, it's excellent, at least according to Deana Marie.  She loves what she considers a nod to Dr. Who, young Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, and the...

Jeremy never watched Purple Rain.  No sugar coating it, he was a little dude when it came out, Deana Marie was almost 15 and although she couldn't see it in the theater, she saw it once Purple Rain hit VHS and she's been watching it ever since.  This film is an homage to the album of the same name, the Revolution and one of the greatest artists of all time.  Jeremy and Deana Marie discuss their mu...

This week Jeremy and Deana Marie take a trip back in time to the days of Technicolor as they watch and discuss John Ford's The Quiet Man, starring Maureen O'Hara, John Wayne, Barry Fitzgerald and Victor McLaglen.  This film was a favorite of someone very special in Deana Marie's life so this episode has a little nostalgia, a lot of laughter, the usual throat punches and some deep discussion about...

In this episode we invite you to say hello to our little friend!  Deana Marie and Jeremy enter the world of drug trafficking in the 80s with iconic character Tony Montana.  Shocking to think Jeremy hadn't seen Scarface, yet can quote the movie with great skill. Deana Marie gets nostalgic, sharing memories from the first time she saw Scarface, and her reactions as an adult aren't entirely different...

Things get spooky this week on Educating Jeremy as Deana Marie and Jeremy discuss one of her favorite ghost story movies: The Conjuring.  Based on actual events, our hosts talk about the film, the hauntings behind the movie, how they feel about Ed and Lorraine Warren and some great podcasts who actually interviewed Andrea Perron, one of the daughters affected by the haunting.  

We've finally done it! We've found a movie Deana Marie loves which may not appeal quite as much to Jeremy - Snakes on a Plane.  This is classic Samuel L Jackson, although there aren't as many MFs as you might expect in a SLJ movie.  Not to worry, our hosts more than make up for that.  Deana Marie and Jeremy talk about snakes, snakes and more snakes, plus a bird that speaks with an Australian accen...

This week we celebrate Deana Marie's Italian heritage with the 1987 film Moonstruck, starring two of her favorite actors: Nicholas Cage and Cher.  Jeremy was dubious about the casting but finds there's more depth, humor and love under la bella luna than he imagined.  We laughed, she cried and as always, there's an occasional throat punch.  This is an extra special episode about a movie that was a...

No, contrary to Jeremy's initial thoughts, this is not a movie featuring Yahoo Serious!  Young Sherlock Holmes is a film from 1985 starring Nicholas Rowe as the title character (one of Deana Marie's teenage crushes,) and tells the story of how Holmes and Watson met while investigating their first case at Brompton Academy in Victorian England.  Can Jeremy get past what he sees as a dated but fun mo...

From the first moment she saw it, Galaxy Quest has been one of Deana Marie's favorite films. Alan Rickman, check!  Tim Allen, Check! Sigourney Weaver, check! Justin Long, check! Homage to all the fans who love Star Trek and wish like anything Galaxy Quest was real, check!  Deana Marie watches this movie multiple times a year, yet Jeremy had never seen it. He probably had no intentions of every wat...

Welcome to the very first episode of Educating Jeremy, the podcast where Deana Marie, host of TwistedPhilly, convinces Jeremy, host of Podcast We Listen To, to watch movies she loves but he's never seen.  In this first episode our hosts watch The Visit by M. Night Shyamalan, who happens to be one of Deana Marie's favorite filmmakers and a Philly boy.  There's lots of love for M. Knight, a few cuss...

Educating Jeremy is a new bi-weekly podcast hosted by a pod couple; Deana Marie and Jeremy.  Both love movies, but somehow Jeremy hasn't seen most of the movies Deana Marie loves.  That's where Educating Jeremy comes in.  Every other week our hosts watch a movie on Deana Marie's list of favorites to educate Jeremy.  They'll talk about why Deana Marie loves the movie, why Jeremy never saw it and wh...
