Perfect Movie

Julia Roberts look-alike Jessica Grahmann joins the guys to finally talk about a movie with women in it. 90s yearbook pictures! Harmonica-infused movie scores! Eating out of open containers while shopping at the grocery store! The five stages of grief! Laughing at gravesites! And so much more. Happy hair-ratting! ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on...

For the first time, we put a movie on trial that Steven’s never seen! Anthony does his best to help him follow the plot, overcome his submarine-confusion, figure out who’s a bad guy and who’s a good guy, make sense of the accents, ignore some shady green screen, and see the movie’s perfection. Plus, what even is Pertner? ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and rel...

Some say it’s the best movie of the 90s. Some say it’s the best movie EVER MADE. Are those people telling the truth, or are they being obtuse? We dig deep into this Stephen King based, Frank Darabont directed juggernaut and try to find answers. We hope… ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. To hear new episodes a yea...

Tom Hanks did a thing: he directed his passion project about a one-hit-wonder pop band in the 60s. Well, he didn’t direct it in the 60s, he directed in the 90s. And it’s a good thing too, or else he wouldn’t have been able to cast Steve Zahn in it. Friend of the podcast Kevin Bates guests as we put this frothy (or is it breezy? or poppy?) fan-fave on trial.  Hey, wasn’...

That’s a lot of question marks! But for guest Jason Norem (Runner’s Block: I Need a Drink…Or Six) there is no question: he loves O Brother, Where Art Thou? and does his best (with a little help from his Gomers) to prove that it’s perfect. So much dust! So many weird line-readings! So much music! And so much to think about. It’s our first Coen Brothers’ movie, an...

It’s a Steven’s Choice for Father’s Day, and he does his best to prove that this frothy, light, low-stakes movie about a semi-obsessive dad and his entitled daughter (and his goofy wedding planner! Don’t forget him!) does what it sets out to do and is, indeed perfect. Welcome to the 90s, Mr. Banks! **This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this...

We had to do a last-minute pivot, but you could do a lot worse than The Firm as your Plan B! We talk fun first acts, diabetes, bald caps, money, the magic of ’93, film adaptions of novels (including Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and Stephen King), racks of ribs, and Tom Cruise running. This is a long-awaited (for us, anyway) and super-fun one! Happy Listening! **This episode of Perfect movie...

Wormholes! Dust storms! Crying! TARS! Playing baseball in space! Organ music! With all that, how could a movie NOT be perfect? Join us as we take a deep dive into Interstellar and our feelings around it. And keep an eye out on Instagram to vote for yourself on whether Interstellar is a Perfect Movie. Happy watching, happy time bending, and happy listening! **This episode of Perfect movie was recor...

It’s race month for the Gomers, and they’re putting THE running movie on trial. They discuss the unique “about-something-ness” of sports movies, running in wool trousers and suspenders, and electronic music scores. And of course, a ton of fun stuff along the way!  Happy Running – and Happy Viewing! **This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one yea...

We asked for your vote, and you gave it! January is now Star Wars month on Perfect Movie, and 2022 is the OG: Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope! We talk our own Star Wars origin stories and what made this movie the cultural touchstone that it is. Also, a couple big things you’ve probably heard a million times and a million little things you won’t hear anywhere else. We love this movie....

Oft discussed over the past 14 years, we finally put Spielberg’s least favorite movie on trial. Does it achieve Perfect status despite, or even because of, its flaws (á la A Charlie Brown Christmas)? Or will Julia Roberts’ pixie cut push Steven over the edge? Anthony and guest Kosmos Ververelli, both unabashed fans, do what they can in the Gomer Court of Law. The rest is up to you. And...

Graylin Porter (the Blue Dot Podcast, the “It’s Too %$*#! Hot Out” episode of Runner’s Block) joins us to talk about her favorite movie of all time and to balance out our Harrys with her Sally as we discuss all things Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal, Carrie Fisher, Nora Ephron, and about a million other things because there’s so much to consider when trying to decide whether...

Get in your station wagon, strap your bike to the roof, drive across the country and get ready to put one of our favorite movies on trial: The Karate Kid. Could you really train for – and win – a championship between Halloween and Christmas? Would painting a fence work to defend yourself against super-bullies? And just WHO is playing that glorious pan flute? **This episode of Perfect m...

The summer of “movies we just love and have wanted to talk about for a long time” continues with one we’ve been mentioning on the podcast for 12 years: City Slickers! We talk what-if casting, mid-life crises, and whether you could actually own a cow in NYC. Happy yeehaw-ing! **This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. To he...

We start with home renovation chat and then reveal the results of the ID4 trial…and of course, SO much more! Including stuff they cut out of the movie that would have solved EVERYTHING.

Passion City Church Choir Director and Dunkin’ expert Ji Lee joins the guys to talk about the mind-bending, heart-wrenching, genre-defying 2020 Oscar winner Parasite. Do we love it? Do we like it? What does the title mean? What is up with the twist? Is the ending real? And can something be perfect, even if it isn’t our thing?  **This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released o...

There’s no fate but what you make, and there’s no movie quite like T2. Is it the best sequel ever made? How freaking amazing is Linda Hamilton? Why does every dumb thing Arnold says work? And what would have made a much better Terminator 3?  **This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. To hear new episodes a year early – and...

Steven finally gets to bring one of his favorite movies to the courtroom, and his friend Yasu helps him out. Anthony marvels and wonders at his first Hayao Miyazaki film and brings his own experience as a musician to bear. Both guys can’t stop talking about how awesome it is to be stretched and invigorated by being exposed to another culture, whether they have all the answers or not. Is Spir...

Hanks! Zemeckis! Sinise! Wright! Silvestri! And…ELVIS? The Two Gomers tackle a behemoth this week on Perfect Movie: the big, bombastic, tonally baffling blockbuster Forrest Gump. We talk running, southern accents, thematic threads, and CGI presidents. Oh and also, what even IS Forrest Gump? **This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. T...

Our oldest movie, our first black and white, the highest on the AFI Top 100 we’ve ever done, and the movie that is most personally important in Steven’s life…why not end a season on a high note? After almost 75 years, does It’s a Wonderful Life hold up? How makes old Hollywood so special? Why do we talk SO much about Nicolas Cage? And how many times can the guys cry in one...

It spawned a hundred knock-offs. It redefined the action movie, the action hero, and the action bad guy. And it has the best-placed f-bomb in movie history (twice!). It’s Die Hard, and we can’t wait to put it on trial! Merry Christmas, yippee-ky-yay, and Happy Listening! So what do you think? Is Die Hard a Perfect Movie?
