After almost a year and half, we return to discuss John Huston's 1948 classic  The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. We discuss the movie’s timeless but trite theme, which of us would lose it first in a similar scenario, and best of all, the novel’s elusive author, B. Traven. As always, if you have suggestions or feedback for the show, or just want to say hi, you can reach us as likemoviespo...

Sam and Stuart travel to the jungles of Columbia in William Friedkin's Sorcerer, where four criminals--each exiled from his respective country--have taken refuge. Desperate to escape his newfound purgatory, each agrees to undertake a task that anybody else would call a suicide mission: drive a truckload of nitroglycerin-sweating dynamite through the jungle to put out and oil well fire. Hosted on A...

After a lengthy break induced by various technical issues and my (Sam's) erratic landlady's wifi debacle, we're back for a not-so-quick check-in. This episdoe, Dad and I don't talk about a specific movie, but rather spend the time catching up on what we've been watching lately, the movies that we're formative for us as kids, and the conspicious pattern of Jewish movies that begin inside the body....

This episode, Dad picks the impenetrable and infuriating Enemy, directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the two leads: a troubled college professor and his doppelganger, a narcissitic bit part actor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stories We Tell is a documentary conceived and directed by Sarah Polley about how stories determine how we think of ourselves and our place in the world. At first, the movie seems to be a movie about Sarah's mother. And it is, kind of. But it takes a turn part way through that's impossible to see coming. We highly recommend watching it before you listen to the episode. If you like the show, be sur...

We talk Milos Forman's Hair; dancing horses, dancing hippies, and of course, fellatio. If you like the show, be sure to rate, review, and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

We talk Christopher McQuarrie's oh-so-cyncial third feature film, The Way of the Gun, paired with David Lynch's playful fifth feature, Wild at Heart. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dad picks Take Shelter, which he's been trying to get me to watch for about 130 years. In response, I throw him a curve-ball in Martian Child, which is, as the saying goes, one weird mamma-jamma of a movie. If you want to let us know what you think of the show, or tell us what you would have paired with these movies, send an email to likemoviespod@gmail.com. If you want to help us out, leave a rat...

In this episode, we compare two very different heist movies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Sam picks _The Drop_, a crime/romance starring Tom Hardy, who may be Stuart's least favorite actor. In turn, Stuart successfully traumatizes his son with _Straw Dogs_, a nauseating tirade of a film directed by the infamous Sam Peckinpah. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stuart picks The Silent Partner, leading Sam to choose a cat-and-mouse thriller of his own. In this riveting conversation, father and son ask the big questions, like who would win in a fight between Javier Bardem and Christopher Plummer? Is Elliott Gould a bad actor? And is Anton Chigurh's hair really that weird? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jeff Bridges is friends with a damaged Vietnam vet who gets him into no end of trouble. If you think about it, they're practically the same movie! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
