Perfect Movie

On this Thanksgiving weekend, The Gomers put the first independent film on trial: The Farewell. They talk grandparents, awkward family differences, shame and protection, and the way learning about another culture can remind you that you have your own. So what do you think?

Vote NOW at www.twitter.com/twogomers It’s a movie so engrained in the Gomers’ minds and hearts it’s difficult for them to name all the reasons how and why – they’re finally doing The Goonies! Yes, there’s a long list of Strickens from the Record. But that doesn’t stop them from gushing about the kid actors, the real sets, the elements of true scariness, a...

I see dead…oh, you know the rest. The guys dig into the blockbuster that made a young Indian director into The Next Spielberg, and broke the box office along the way: The Sixth Sense. When is a twist a twist? When does a movie known for its twist transcend into something more? What movies make the Gomers cry? And where did Bruce Willis get such an excellent head? So what do you think? Is The...

It’s college football season…but without college football, what are sports fans to do? Why, listen to the Two Gomers talk college football, of course! It’s Anthony’s Choice, and he chooses a movie we’ve talked about for 12 years, but Steven hasn’t seen in twenty: Rudy. Does the underdog story hold up as well when the movie is watched during middle age as is did...

Originally scheduled for next year, the guys move up their first Marvel Cinematic Universe episode because of a tragedy – the death of its star – and end up digging deeper into the world-building, impact, beauty, and complications within Black Panther than they would have had they waited. RIP Chadwick Boseman, Wakanda Forever, and here’s to opening the iris wider every time we wa...

First we talked Del and Neil. Then Buzz and Woody. Now we tackle two more Gomers: Bill and Ted. How did this movie see the light of day? Why does it work? And is it Perfect? Also, why can’t Steven stop laughing at the “Noah’s Wife” joke? So what do you think? Is Bill and Ted a Perfect Movie? Click “Vote” at the top of www.perfectmoviepodcast.com, follow us on In...

Steven’s been obsessed with it for five years. Anthony had never seen or heard it until a couple nights ago. Together they talk about whether Hamilton is the perfect piece of art so many say it is, how it works as a movie compared to on stage, and the Broadway Blap. Then special guest Victoria Sanchez joins to talk about the high-concept casting, what it’s like to have Steven as a boss...

The winner of the Pixar Final Four, Toy Story, gets the Perfect Movie treatment as the guys forego their own evidences in favor of the Listener’s, and it’s non-stop fun. Plus, Anthony does his best to keep Steven from talking about Toy Story 2 the entire time. So what do you think? Is Toy Story a Perfect Movie?

If this ep feels a little different, that’s because it is. The guys start their new commitment of reviewing a movie – every other episode for a year – by a filmmaker of color. They are committed to listen, learn, and grow, and Just Mercy was the perfect movie to start with. They talk about empathy through displacement, perfect timing, imagery threads in films, and casting impossi...

Last week Steven went into the ER and it was horrible, disgusting, frightening and eye-opening. The full account is on the Bonus Disc (www.patreon.com/twogomers) but because so many listeners were along for the ride, we wanted to give you an update, let you hear Steven’s voice, and also offer a chunk of the story, in which approximately 12 of the 98 insane things that happened happen. Thanks...

Steven pulls out his notes from his sophomore year Film History class and the Gomers put Tootsie on trial, using the three arguments he wrote down in 1998. Do the notes hold up? Does the movie? Does Bill Murray? The answer to that last question is yes. Yes he does. So what do you think? Is Tootsie a Perfect Movie? Click “Vote” at the top of www.perfectmoviepodcast.com, follow us on Ins...

In this special (yes, we said SPECIAL) crossover episode between Two Gomers Run For Their Lives and Perfect Movie, Anthony and Steven talk about The Bonus Disc, the new way to support the Gomers on patreon.com/twogomers and get a BUNCH of exclusive content. And a ton of fun stuff along the way. Thank you for all your years of listening, Gomernation! We can’t wait to get this new stuff into y...

Get your a– to Mars! Oh wait, is that this one? This week the Gomers get in the Rover, poop on some potatoes, and science the s–t out of The Martian, Anthony’s latest Choice. But does a movie SO concerned about holding up, hold up? Let’s put it on trial! So what do you think? Is The Martian a Perfect Movie? Click “Vote” at the top of www.perfectmoviepodcast.com,...

We reveal the results (don’t get your hopes up), feel bad for Ahmed Best, and welcome guest Jessica Grahmann to the podcast to open our eyes to some stuff we missed, suggest some movies, guess Steven’s celebrity crushes, and share what it’s like to watch movies with Gomer2. Great ep! The Patreon is coming soon, June 15! Keep your eyes and ears o...

The Gomers go deep into their pasts – and the history of this podcast – to put one their favorite movies of all time, Space Camp, on trial. But has anyone else seen this movie? Why didn’t it have the cultural impact it could have had? And why are long belts to important to space travel? So what do you think? Is Space Camp a Perfect Movie? Click “Vote” at the top of ww...

So, is Back to the Future a Perfect Movie? We reveal the results, change some listener’s minds, and welcome guest THE Chad Kemp to the podcast to reveal the name of the “Hey How’s It Going” guy, give us feedback, as a trial lawyer, on our courtroom format, and suggest that Lorraine and George McFly actually KNOW THAT THEIR SON IS A TIME TRAVELER. Great ep! Join us next week...

It’s our first (super-sized) Listener’s Choice episode! After several rounds of voting, the movie to emerge triumphant in our Battle of the 80s Juggernauts was a little-known time travel movie from 1985…Back to the Future! We talk a lot about how good this movie is, because…well…it’s really good. Why is Marty McFly such an endearing hero? Is the Delorean the gre...

So, is Mad Max Fury Road a Perfect Movie? We reveal the results, answer listener comments (read: objections) and welcome our first ever guest to the podcast: author of Different is Awesome and creator of livingonehanded.com Ryan Haack to talk about disability representation in Hollywood, Furiosa, and playing a prince opposite Steven in high school. Great ep! Check out Ryan’s children’s...

Vroom vroom. After five years, we’re going back to Fury Road. Steven loved it when he saw it in 2015, Anthony…well, had a different experience. Can a different context change an opinion? Is strange and confusing actually a good thing? Listen in as Steven does his darndest to prove that this one is perfect! What do you think? Is Mad Max Fury Road a Perfect Movie? Click “Vote&#8221...

So, is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty perfect? We reveal the results, take risks, stan for Stanley Tucci, and dream about clementine cake. Next week: Listener’s Choice! Make sure you are following us on Facebook and Instagram to be a part of the fun!

It’s our first Anthony’s Choice episode! (It is his birthday after all). And he starts with one of his favorites: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. He loves how it looks! He loves how it sounds! He loves how it makes him feel! So…how can two friends disagree – even about something that holds a special place in one of their hearts – without it getting personal? They try...

So, is A League of Their Own perfect? We reveal the results, pine for baseball (!), dig deeper into discussions of comparison, and ask the dearly departed Penny Marshall an important question. Next week: Steven’s Choice: Mad Max: Fury Road! That’s a lot of colons.

After the laugh riot that is Contagion, we decided to get serious. JK, we’re talking A League of Their Own on this one. Why are baseball movies so great? Why is Tom Hanks so great? Why is Penny Marshall so great? Why is Madonna so great? Why…ok, so we think a lot in this movie is great. Enjoy as we talk a lot about things we love, this movie being high on that list. What do you think?...
