I Like to Watch

Donnie’s challenge was SciFi and he went all the way back to childhood to talk about a film he and his dad watched constantly. Time for an Oil Job!

Donnie’s challenge was to pick a remake that Don liked to watch. The challenge wasn’t as easy as it appeared.

Donnie is challenged this week to find a cinematographer he likes to watch and, man, did he pick a doozy!

The challenge was a movie with a song written specifically for that movie. Hall picks a movie with NINE songs written for it and a callback to his most important high school days!

A foreign-born director? So many to choose from. Donnie goes for a classic: Face/Off with Travolta and Cage.

The Challenge? Steve Zallian. The response? Gangs of New York. Can DeCaprio’s middling accent bring down Day Lewis’s extraordinary Bill the Butcher?

The challenge took Donnie through embarrassment of cinematic riches of 1984! He landed on an iconic performance by an iconic actor (plus a lot of laughs).

The Challenge? Firefighter movies. Really the only choice? 1991’s Backdraft.

Donnie embraces the Dustin Hoffman challenge and lands on a film that speaks to us in the present which foments a long discussion about what that film tells us about the world today. Isn’t that what great movies should do?

The challenge? Cars. The response? Only the most badass case movie ever made.

The boys roundup all of 2025’s trailer geeks with a few stinkers, a few winners, and a host of ‘meh.’

The Challenge? Kubrick. The response? The most unsettling film of the twentieth century.

The Challenge? Any noir from 1940 - 1959. Hall goes to the very edge with 1958’s Touch of Evil.

For the very first I Like to Watch Challenge, Don tossed Tilda Swinton Donnie’s way. He chose the bizarre reimagining that is 2018’s Susperia.

In this second half, the movies get a bit threadbare. Donnie then offers up an absolute must-see list of scary films to watch guaranteed to make you wet yourself!

Donnie levels the ultimate Halloween task: watch all twelve of the Friday the 13th movies and then podcast about all of them! This first episode the boys cover the first six films in the franchise.

It’s Halloween Month—Donnie’s favorite of the year! This episode Hall picks one of the greatest horror classics ever made: The Exorcist!

Donnie goes for a Big Swing with a Stacked Cast that improbably is a Great Movie: Con Air!

Hall likes the weird stuff; Donnie not so much. Thus we engage about Julie Taymor’s Beatles juke box epic, Across the Universe.

The pod’s good friend George Gallo pulls out all the stops with his choice of Sydney Pollack’s Castle Keep.

Donnie digs deep into his frequent viewing of WWII pics and surprises Don with Lee Marvin and Co. in The Dirty Dozen.

Hall finally chooses one of his favorite films of all time and both Dons cry during the recording because this is real stuff, gang.

D&D are joined by legendary street artist Morley and discuss his pick—1950’s classic Sunset Boulevard.

Donnie picks one of his favorites featuring his movie boyfriend—Ryan Gosling in “Drive.”

If you could only watch five movies ever again, effectively destroying every other film made, what would those five be?
