Have a Good Movie

Mac & Maud aren't acting like first-timers, they're professionals. That's why they're watching Reservior Dogs, Quentin Tarantino's 1992 debut feature film. Macintosh loves this movie, and loves how tight the dialogue and acting feels. And Maud...well, Maud doesn't exactly feel the same way. It's time for ear-slicing, f-bombs and conversations about "Like a Virgin" this week on the podcast. And...

We're releasing a bonus review of My Little Pony: The Movie in tandem with one of our other shows, Macintosh & Maud: A My Little Pony Podcast. First, we talk to Apple Bloom, our date for the movie, about her impressions of the different characters. Then, after a break, we talk about the things we genuinely enjoyed and a lot about where this movie doesn't hit the highs we've come to expect from...

There's one rule on You Haven't Seen What?!: no matter how bored you are, or how much you think the movie stinks, you can't tune out. You have to engage with the movie on its terms, and you can't just ignore the rest of the movie. This episode...Macintosh broke that rule...I mean, let's get real: Scream (1996) isn't the greatest movie ever made. But just because there's some half-assed acting and...

As far back as Mac & Maud can remember, we always loved a good gangster movie. Since Maud hadn't seen Martin Scorsese's epic, Goodfellas. So we sat down and took in Henry Hill's wild story of wiseguys, working for the mob and the effect of massive amounts of cocaine. While Goodfellas has moments of pure magic, it moves at a breakneck pace. Despite being divided on the storytelling (and Ray Lio...

Moses supposes that Mac & Maud would have nothing but roses to throw at Gene Kelly's 1952 classic Singin' in the Rain. But Moses supposes erroneously. It's the first movie we've watched where the director was intent on making a movie out of spite to try and get out of a contract. The egomania shines through - but so does a 19-year old Debbie Reynolds. Yet even with the unnecessary "dream seque...

We're dropping a surprise this week - a double feature of Kingsman: The Secret Service and the newly released Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Maud saw the first movie before Mac did, and since the new one was coming out, Mac needed to see the first movie. Buckle in for discussions of crazy action sequences, dating Swedish royalty and an outstanding cameo performance. Cheers, bruv. You can email us wi...

Macintosh and Maud have 3 prime directives this week: Watch 1987's RoboCop .  Realize RoboCop is a bad movie. Decide that we really need to review 2014's RoboCop reboot and see if we just missed something... It's a RoboCop double feature as Mac and Maud throw out their best pitches of how we could've made these movies better. Because not even Forman's dad could save this one. Though Gary Oldman ge...

[MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR IT. MAKE SURE TO SKIP IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE.]So this one time, in the studio, Maud made Macintosh watch American Pie. Yeah, he hasn't seen it before. We don't have a good reason why. And while Mac was prepared to hate this movie, he came around to it in time. Sit back and enjoy a discussion of all things Stifler S***-Brick, MILFs, high school sex and flutes. Then,...

It is the year 2017. Macintosh and Maud have gotten dinner and need to watch a movie. What better choice than the Ridley Scott sci-fi opus Blade Runner? Especially because Maud hasn't gotten around to watching this cult classic yet...Macintosh laments not watching this on a bigger screen, and we throw out a few small ideas on how to take this movie from good to great. We also discuss Harrison Ford...

[WARNING - GAME OF THRONES SEASON 5 SPOILERS AT 12:10-12:55]Yeah, Mac hasn't seen The Goonies. He doesn't understand why either, though perhaps it's the liberal use of the s-word (hint: it rhymes with pit) or the undeniable horror of Sloth. Now, 20 years after he should have seen it, he and Maud lavish praise on Corey Feldman's expert timing, disagree on Sean Astin's performance skills, take a dee...

Good evening and welcome to Macintosh and Maud Haven't Seen What?! Mac and Maud missed out on some important cinematic touchstones, and it's high time we filled those gaps. Each episode, we take turns forcing each other to watch a movie we should have already seen. This time, Mac makes Maud watch the Coen Brothers' 1987 classic Raising Arizona. Mac's been a long-time fan of the movie, but Maud's s...
