Ten minutes of pure gushing about Abi's favorite movie, and let's face it, probably Matt's too. Plus a little sing-screaming for good measure. This week is all about THOR RAGNAROK (2017). 

Hello dear listener!  This week we are doing something we have never done...taking a break. Matt and Abi are taking a short vacation but we promise we will be back next week when we will review The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019). In the meantime, we just wanted to let you know how much we love you and appreciate the time you take to listen to our podcast. Please revisit old episodes...

SUMMER OF FUN! To mark the first days of summer, we're kicking things off with the new musical in theaters (don't ask Abi which type of theater, she doesn't know)...In The Heights (2021). Plus some other modernish movie musicals, and a lot of singing as always. It's a Carnival del Podcast for sure.  Email us at  namingamoviepodcastishard@gmail.com !   Theme music by our good friend John Hollahan....

This week is all about Taylor, and all you have to do is stay. We review Miss Americana (2020)...and reveal what we would do if we got to meet Taylor Swift.

We promise this episode of NAMPIH makes more sense than the movie Tenet (although not by much). Abi overexplains, Matt ignores her, it's a good time.

We PROMISE they are less weird than the Oscars were! Plus, Abi and Matt discuss a NAMPIH favorite, A League of Their Own (1992). And Tom Hanks. And how he's overrated (so says Abi).  Email us at  namingamoviepodcastishard@gmail...

Just a warning...this episode includes everything you never wanted to know from two movie podcasters about yardwork. Abi and Matt also review the movie The Forty Year Old Version (2020), and discuss why first-time directors are the best. Listen if you want to hear Matt rap a little.  Plus, in all of our excitement about yards, we forgot to assign the next movie! In honor of baseball season startin...

Challenge accepted! This week we review another animated movie nominated this year...Wolfwalkers. Plus how it stacks up against Abi's previous Soul prediction.

The time has come...To All The Boys: Always and Forever is here, and we have answered the call to review it. Plus the hard hitting issues like yearbook entries, and graduation songs.

This week we review two movies - An American Pickle (2020) and Muriel's Wedding (1994) - released 25 years apart. But if you think that means we can't tie these two together...you are mistaken!

This week we fully embrace the creepy theme of Being John Malkovich and draft our top five celebrities whose brains we would invade for 15 minutes. And then of course we review Being John Malkovich (1999).  Plus, Abi was so eager to cut Matt off before he could talk about Hot Rod that she FORGOT to assign a movie.
