Mike & Mike Go To The Movies

This week, it's another edition of Guests Make Mikes SCREAM, and it's a crossover with our friends at TOMMYKNOCKIN! Podcast hosts Charley Macorn and Eliza Stormborne are here to make us watch a Stephen King movie, and the one they chose... was actually disowned by Stephen King because it was nothing like his original story.  But will its cutting-edge visual effects make up for it? It's time t...

It's October, and that means it's time for a whole month of Guests Make Mikes SCREAM! All month long, different guests are joining the podcast to make us watch different scary movies. This week, frequent guest Nick Wermuth is returning to the show to make the Mikes watch PEEPING TOM, a classic British horror film from 1960 that was so scandalous at the time that it completely derailed the career o...

This week, frequent guest Vin Craig returns to the podcast for a Guest Makes Mike Watch - and he had us dive headfirst into a '90s family action-comedy with Rob Schneider, Leslie Nielsen, and Tone Loc. It's time to watch SURF NINJAS! Kwantsu, dudes!

Mike Smith is out doing Mike Smith things again, so Mike D calls on Producer Collin to pick a movie to discuss. We landed on MORBIUS which recently hit Netflix. It's not worth it. Don't watch it. 

This week, it's a Mike Makes Mike Watch! Mike D is making Mike S catch up with Brian De Palma's THE UNTOUCHABLES, while Mike S is making Mike D watch one of his favorite comedies, Joe Dante's THE 'BURBS!

This week, Mike and Mike catch up on some new releases like 3000 YEARS OF LONGING, EMILY THE CRIMINAL, and THE GREY MAN, while also watching a ton of TV like HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, MYTHIC QUEST, and FOR ALL MANKIND. All this and GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH? What an episode!

This week, Mike and Mike are recording in person! Mike D flew out to Missoula to check out The 2nd Annual Camp Horror Film Festival at The Roxy Theater, the indie theater near Mike Smith's house in Missoula, Montana! We saw plenty of new, weird stuff and caught up on sold older classics - can you believe Mike Smith had never seen THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW? We're recapping the entire experience...

This week, Mike and Mike are talking new releases like BULLET TRAIN, BODIES BODIES BODIES, and GLORIOUS! Plus, Mike D dives back into the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise (again) while Mike Smith talks two new TV shows with SHE-HULK and HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, while mourning the loss of his favorite show on TV, BETTER CALL SAUL. 

This week, Mike and Mike are talking the latest entry in the PREDATOR series, PREY. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and premiering on Hulu, everyone's talking about what an efficient, exciting blockbuster this is. Should this movie have come out in theaters? Is it the best PREDATOR sequel... or even the best PREDATOR movie? Does Mike D remember watching any of the PREDATOR movies? The answers to thes...

This week, Mike and Mike talk to Missoula's Horror Hostess Charley Macorn about the upcoming Camp Horror Film Festival at the Roxy Theater (the indie theater near Mike Smith's house in Mike Smith's house in Missoula, Montana!) After that, she makes us watch a meta-slasher from the mid-2000s called BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON!

This week, Mike and Mike catch up with some Discussions and talk new releases like NOPE, WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING, EMERGENCY, THE BOB'S BURGERS MOVIE, and MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON! Plus, they go into a JOHN WICK trilogy rewatch, dive into some TALES FROM THE CRYPT, and catch up on TV shows like THE AFTERPARTY, SUCCESSION, and FOR ALL MANKIND!

This week, Mike and Mike try to work through their feelings on NOPE, the latest film from director Jordan Peele. And they come to the conclusion that... they need to see it again to fully click with it. Good movie, though! 

This week, Mike D is out - so Mike Smith has assembled the Podcast Avengers! (Podvengers?) Music supervisor Kyle Cullen, Producer Collin Stiles, and Fun Times in Flushing's other Mike Smith aka Mikey Pockets all return to the podcast to discuss the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Taika Waititi's THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER!

This week, Benjamin Allocco - author of the new book MR. UGLY, available wherever you can find books right now - returns to the podcast to make us watch a new stop-motion horror masterwork 30 years in the making: Phil Tippett's MAD GOD. Tippett, the legendary visual effects artist who has worked on everything from the original STAR WARS trilogy to JURASSIC PARK to ROBOCOP and even TWILIGHT, has fi...

It's an Off Mike Discussions episode - this week, Mike Smith is talking new releases like ELVIS, CHA CHA REAL SMOOTH, and BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD DO THE UNIVERSE, while Mike DeCriscio has got thoughts on the STRANGER THINGS finale, the History Channel series ALONE, and Joseph Kosinski's SPIDERHEAD! We also talk OBI-WAN KENOBI, MS. MARVEL, OBLIVION,  INLAND EMPIRE, RIVER'S EDGE, and more! 

This week, it's Mike Smith's birthday, meaning it's time to enact the Birthday Bylaw and make Mike DeCriscio watch something! And this year, he chose a recent obsession that he knew he had to make Mike D see - the massive Indian blockbuster known as RRR!

Mike Smith is off this week so Mike D is joined by friend of the show Producer Collin! He makes Mike watch 2019's SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. We also discuss Sonic 2 even though Mike D ran out of time to watch it before recording, it's totally fine, don't tell Mike Smith.

This week the Mikes decide to rank their top 5 movies about fictional bands in "honor" of the new Baz Luhrmann film ELVIS.

This week, Mike and Mike are talking a bunch of stuff they've been watching lately - including the absolute insanity that is RRR, the new season of STRANGER THINGS, our hopefully optimistic take on OBI-WAN KENOBI, the new Cronenberg joint CRIMES OF THE FUTURE, Shudder's THE SPINE OF NIGHT, Alex Garland's MEN, and a lot more! Plus, Mike D recounts his experience watching TOP GUN: MAVERICK in Screen...

This week, Mike and Mike are on the highway to the DANGER ZONE - because it's time to talk TOP GUN: MAVERICK! Does this need to be seen on the big screen? Will Tom Cruise save movie theaters singlehandedly? Will we ever get a legacy sequel to COCKTAIL? The answers to all these and more lie inside!

This week, a listener who donated to the podcast suggested that we discuss the Joel Schumacher BATMAN movies... so that's exactly what we're doing! Mike and Mike revisit 1995's BATMAN FOREVER and 1997 BATMAN & ROBIN - do these movies hold up better than we remember as relics of a pre-superhero movie boom era? Is Val Kilmer actually a pretty good Batman? Could we ever possibly get sick of Mr. F...

This week, it's an Off Mike Discussions episode - Mike DeCriscio has finished TOKYO VICE and started OUTER RANGE; Mike Smith dragged himself to the theater to see FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE; the Mikes talk everything from WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR to PETITE MAMAN to THE SADNESS to a '70s Paranoia Triple Feature!

This week, Mike and Mike dissect the latest movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. Is it more of a Sam Raimi film than it is a Marvel film? Did the cameos delight us or annoy us? Are people being a little ridiculous about the horror elements? And why, despite liking the movie, does Mike DeCriscio feel like it could signal the end of his devotion to the...

This week, Mike Emmons - programming coordinator for The Roxy Theater, the indie theater near Mike Smith's house in Missoula, Montana - returns to the podcast to tell us what's going on at The Roxy this month!
