I Like To Movie Movie

We didn’t want to watch the new Mario movie or the old Mario movie, but we reeeeally wanted to tie this episode into the release of the new Mario movie and the recent reappraisal of the old Mario movie, so we decided to talk about TETRIS, the new movie about the making of everyone’s favorite “cartridge that came with the Game Boy.” We discuss the ways in which the film is successful at mixing high...

Join us as we discuss the JOHN WICK series at large to celebrate the release of JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4.

Enjoy some quick thoughts from the first day of Overlook Film Festival 2023 in New Orleans! LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL, RENFIELD, and THE WRATH OF BECKY!

Stephen has never seen a David Lynch movie before, so Dan decided to throw him to the wolves with one of the impenetrable filmmaker’s more accessible works: BLUE VELVET. It’s an all-timer for Dan, but Stephen remains…unimpressed. Listen as we discuss what exactly happened, why Sandy found Jeffrey’s duck walk to be interesting, and whether or not Stephen will ever sit down for INLAND EMPIRE (he wil...

It’s Oscars week, and in honor of Hollywood’s annual act of auto-fellatio, we’re revisiting one of the more controversial nominees: the 2008 war/comedy/satire, Ben Stiller’s TROPIC THUNDER. Dan and Stephen have different experiences in revisiting the film, leading to discussion about comedy as a cinematic art form, the effect the passage of time has on our lenses of propriety, and how Jack Black m...

2023 is the year of Jonathan Majors! With ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA, CREED III, and the upcoming MAGAZINE DREAMS, the effortlessly compelling star of LOVECRAFT COUNTRY and THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO is poised to become a household name, and deservedly so. This week Dan and Stephen discuss QUANTUMANIA in full spoilery detail, and then CREED III in spoiler-free detail. Stick around...

In anticipation of the upcoming boxing film, CREED III: HYPERCREED, we go deep on the ROCKY movie that isn’t a ROCKY movie, but which plays like two simultaneous ROCKY movies: the 2011 cage fighting guy-cry classic, Gavin O’Connor’s WARRIOR. We talk fight choreography, the use of structure to put forth strong thematic work, addiction narratives, Tom Hardy’s voice, weight classes, and God’s gift to...

The only way to do “The Transported Man” is with a bloody good double, and the only way to do a proper episode of I Like To Movie Movie is with a bloody good co-host! That’s right, Movie Movie is once again a two-hander! Stephen Richards of the Hot Property podcast is now the other half of I Like to Movie Movie, and for his inaugural episode he has chosen a movie that has inspired countless Michae...

WHEN THE SCREAMING STARTS is a hilarious mockumentary horror film that tells a story of family…but not “family” family, or even “Fambly” family (Sorry Dom). No, we’re talking “Manson Family” family. This comic ensemble tale from across the pond is an unmissable genre treat, and we’ve got writer/director Conor Boru and writer/star Ed Hartland on the air to talk about their inspirations, processes,...

Holy shit! 2022 is OVER, and what a year it was for movies! We had a new Batman, a new Avatar, a new Blanchett capital A ACTING performance, and the triumphant return of Ke Huy Quan to the big screen! Here at Movie Movie, fan engagement is key, and that’s why we have a very special guest to close out the year: Super fan of the show, CozyRy! Yeah, his name is Ryan, but that’s CozyRy to you (and on...

Over the last few weeks I attended the 31st annual Philadelphia Film Festival and caught a grand total of 28 movies! In this episode I give a little love to each and every one of them.

Happy Halloween my little sexy sexys! To celebrate the rites of Samhain, I have for you today a murderously maniacal commentary track for HALLOWEEN KILLS (extended edition). So fire up your screens and listen along as I explore why this uniquely terrible movie is actually uniquely awesome! Powered by a scary amount of caffeine, sober October mental clarity, and a horrendous lack of sleep, I bring...

Me and fellow JOKER fan, Scott Pags, have joined forces to discuss the movie that everyone loved and then everyone loved to hate. We talk about WB’s current missteps, the upcoming JOKER sequel, and the fan parody film that WB is unjustly trying to silence. We share our love for GOTHAM, Shea Whigham, and the magical way that Joaquin Phoenix came HARD at cereal when accepting his Oscar. Please like,...

A few weeks back we recorded the 100th episode of Hot Property (@hotpropertypod), and as a bonus for all you little jerks out there we decided to record a commentary track for Mission: Impossible 2! Warning: We were well into the whiskey at this point and don’t actually talk much about the movie, but hilarity does indeed ensue. Be sure to subscribe, comment, review, and forgive. @moviemoviecast ww...

You'll remember a few episodes back when we discussed the film Forgotten Silver, the faux-documentary delight from New Zealand by filmmakers Costa Botes and Peter Jackson. By some magic of blind luck, divine intervention, and/or SEO, the episode managed to come across the ears of Costa Botes himself, who was kind enough to join me for chat. In a historic feat of logisiics, I was able to calculate...

Happy 420, Movie Movie-ers! Today we have a nice, mellow episode for you. Dan goes through some entertainment news, as well as a round up of what he’s been watching lately. At one point he accidentally inhales some bourbon and burns his sinuses. It’s fun!!! Come back in two weeks for a tasty interview with an exciting guest, followed shortly thereafter by a big ol’ deep dive! Follow @moviemoviecas...

My interview with Frank Martinez and Turk Matthews, the writer/director and star of DREAMING HOLLYWOOD, the new comedy/thriller that YOU, YES YOU, can watch right now on VOD! https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/dreaming-hollywood/umc.cmc.3p4m4ec0dbsf5zyut6tkd4hf5 Stay tuned after the interview as I fill in my Oscar holes and wax philosophical about how incredible the fire looks in FIRESTARTER. Follow I...

We all know Peter Jackson as the man behind LORD OF THE RINGS (yaaaay!), THE HOBBIT (not so yay!), and a variety of goopy classics like MEET THE FEEBLES (yay!), DEAD ALIVE (yay!), and BADF TASTE (yay!), but were you aware that in 1995 he teamed up with Costa Botes to direct a faux-film history documentary? Well he did. It’s called FORGOTTEN SILVER, and it’s an influence on our guest, filmmaker Woo...

You can’t keep a good cop down, and as evidenced by Lethal Weapon 3 and 4, you can’t keep a bad cop down either. Two bad cops would be damn near impossible to keep down. Join Alex Pearlman of @themboyspod and I as we laugh ourselves silly at Leo Getz while also examining his heritage. But mostly we just express astonishment that Riggs and Murtaugh haven’t been sent to jail for killing pretty much...

This week the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, Farts, Crafts, and Coldplay's The Scientist released the nominees for the 2022 Oscars Ceremony. I'm not sure what number Oscars it is, but that's okay because it doesn't matter. I am joined by Oscar scholar Dexter Anderson to go over our predictions, hopes, and dreams for this year's ceremony. We cover what we saw, what we didn't see, and what we'd l...

Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh have been holding Los Angeles hostage with their antics for as long as my guest Alex Pearlman and I have been alive. In part one of our epic two part series, we discuss the history and legacy of the front half of Dick Donner’s legendary copaganda odyssey. What ingredients are needed to open a 1987 Joel Silver movie? How does diplomatic immunity really work? Does cra...

Happy New Year everyone! 2021 was a real butthole of a year, but man oh man were there a ton of good movies!

Shout out to +2 Comedy, whose Movie Movie Challenge is an endurance test for the ages. I tried to go easy on you this year, fellas. Please like, subscribe, comment,...
