The Matt and Mark Movie Show

A little bonus bite for… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! Before we go deep-sea diving for the crap, let’s go back to the big fish that started it all. As a primer, hear Matt recap and review all four JAWS movies. Where can you watch them? HOW can you watch them? And which Jaws sequel is a stealth good movie that’s been getting a bad rap? Hint: it’s not the one you think! See you next week f...

MOVIES THAT MAKE SHARK WEEK LOOK LIKE SHART WEEK. Welcome to our second themed month… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’re chumming for the deep-sea  movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. And to kick off this Jaws-some month, we’re pre-gaming with a movie that’s not a Jaws knockoff at all...

It’s an allergy episode. I’m sorry I sound like Rudolph in the 1964 Christmas special where he has to wear a fake nose. It’s not all bad though… Jeff graced us with another legendary Jeff voicemail! Plus, we talk movie news about that huge Kung Fury leak, and we discuss a bunch of stuff we’ve been watching, like A24’s WARFARE, Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts...

Until Dawn is a popular horror videogame that everyone seems to love with a movie that no one seems to be watching. Why???

We review this new horror film from the director of Lights Out and the Shazam movies that stars character actor darling, Peter Stormare. We praise its craft, inventive storytelling, and phy...

This is one of them FREAKY TALES. The directing team behind Captain Marvel (yep) returns from director jail with a retro anthology movie called FREAKY TALES, and since Matt is only human and likes cool poster art, he dove at the chance to review this little oddity of a movie. What do Pedro Pascal, an axe, green lightning, Blade, and the rapper Too Short have in common? We don’t know. We&#821...

Holy crap, how long’s it been?! The Matt and Mark Movie Show returns from a long pod break to watch Jason Statham punch, kick, and kill stuff.

Along the way, we question some of the movie’s logic, try to understand Statham’s living situation, and play predictions about...

Dun dun dunnnn… Yes, while we’re on the road, we’re opening the Matt and Mark vault to give you an episode that most of you have never heard before, and trust us, it’s a doozy! Strap in for wild Retro Reviews of ALTERED STATES from 1980 and SURF NINJAS from 1993. We even squeeze in some MADA...

Why is the Invisible Man such a jerk in all his movies? How many techs did it take to animate Kevin Bacon’s invisible dong? And what does this movie have to do with why Matt hates Olive Garden? We discuss all of this and more in this week’s HOLLOW MAN episode — our second entry into our unofficial Invisible Man movie miniseries. You know we love Paul Verhoeven so we were stoked t...

BILLY ZANE-UARY goes out with a BANG, as we review one of the few action-packed films in Billy Zane’s filmography… SNIPER.

And to kick off this Zane-y stunt, we’re reviewing one of Billy’s classic roles as the ghost who walks… AKA… THE PHANTOM. Did Black Panther borrow a ton from this movie and just not tell anyone? We think so...

Last week it was a Wolf Man with male pattern baldness, and this week it’s Mark Wahlberg with male pattern baldness. Yep, we’re talking FLIGHT RISK, the new thriller directed by controversial filmmaker, Mel Gibson.
