The Matt and Mark Movie Show

SAY HIS NAME. Or don’t. We don’t want to responsible for a mirror demon coming into your bathroom while you’re on the toilet. This week, we’re talking all things Candyman – from the iconic 1992 original film, to the new 2021 incarnation. We’re breaking down the kills, links between the two films, and doing a deep dive on what worked for us and what didn’t...

It’s two times the tragedy as we strap in for a DOUBLE FEATURE! But don’t get too happy, because we get into some serious shit this week. Mark tells us a disturbing story from his past, Matt confronts his childhood nightmare fuel in the form of The Child Catcher, and we review Don’t Breathe 2, the latest entry in The Blind Man franchise. Hey, he kidnaps because he loves. There&#8...

This week, our show goes Co-op with our buddy Dave Green from The Love of Cinema pod to dive into the video game movie, FREE GUY!  This movie’s loaded with Disney and Marvel IP, video game easter eggs, and a metric ton of cameos, and we’re discussing them all! From the big ones (yes, THAT ONE you probably know already, but we won’t spoil it here, but c’mon, you know who it...

I was really burpy this week. Jeez. Sorry! Belch. It’s all about the mad genius of James Gunn this episode, as Mark and I review the latest addition to the DCEU, The Suicide Squad.  We also talk Nicolas Cage’s Pig, HBOMax’s The White Lotus, and we test the limits of just how much cheese a human being can eat before shaving years off their life. Mark is living proof that you can e...

Apologies for the delay this week. We’re going old school this episode! No guests, no filter, no pants. Mark and I reminisce about the 1980’s GI Joe cartoon, discuss our favorite Joes (Mark’s are super random!), and review the new spin-off movie Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins. The movie didn’t do so well at the box office, but we don’t care about money. We’re just i...

WELCOME TO THE JAM! It’s an all-star crossover event as our movie-loving friends from The Love of Cinema pod join us to talk all things Space Jam and Space Jam: A New Legacy! Spoiler: it’s not just us dunking on this movie – one of us liked it, but who?! Listen in and find out as we discuss the Looney Tunes’ expensive new CG look, try to decipher the confounding rules and g...

As Chris Pratt gets recruited into the future war, I do a bit of recruiting myself, drafting two guest-hosts for this week’s show… AJ Quevy and Darin Young from the hilarious Genre Geeks podcast! They’re here to help me discuss the time-bending blockbuster The Tomorrow War, but we also fine time to geek out about Jaws, game shows, and time travel movies ( better time travel movies!). W...

It’s been a long sixteen months away from the big screen, but this week, Mark and I made our triumphant return to cinemas to see F9, and well… let’s just say we had very different screening experiences. We discuss the film, dissect the truth about Han, take a look under the Fast Saga’s hood to compare our highlights and lowlights from the series thus far, and make a weird d...

Mark is missing in action, so I invited my friends and fellow podcasters to join me for a full-on horror episode this week… give a warm welcome to Matt McCarthy & Katherine Cox from the Combs Crew podcast! They’re here to help me do a deep dive on the “lost” George A. Romero film, The Amusement Park, a surrealist nightmare of movie about elder abuse that (spoiler!) we a...

We’re back from last week’s break to discuss SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW. This spins us (like a spiral!) into conversations about movie killers like Jigsaw, real-life serial killers like John Wayne Gacy, and real-life CEREAL killers like Captain Crunch… who just so happens to have his very own horror videogame entitled “Crunchy.”  Have you played it? We watched a cli...

Fire up the Cranberries, and lock & load for zombie carnage, because this week we’re reviewing Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead.  And coming along for the ride is our special guest… Mister Suspicious from Twitch and YouTube’s Not Your Story! Join the three of us as we discuss the film — we’re talking hot pixels, cold blooded zombie killin’, and Snyder’s...

Sometimes, we watch grown-up movies, and this week is one of those times. Join us as we discuss Those Who Wish Me Dead, the Angelina Jolie wildfire movie that failed to catch at the pandemic box office.  We also discuss Hollywood’s annoying over-reliance on CG fire, the one ridiculously long title in Joseph Kosinski’s filmography, and get excited for a wacky new survivalist series that...

This week, robots invade our animated movie pick and we’re all the better for it, as we talk Netflix’s The Mitchells vs. The Machines. The main review starts around 45:59, if you want to skip ahead, but be warned: you’ll miss some fun back-and-forth about Glenn Close. We’re also reminiscing about classic Disney after-school shows, solving a few film school mysteries from the past...

Get Rec’d returns in a big way this week, with a whopping one hour segment chock full of movie talk, and a very disturbing realization about actor Nick Stahl’s past.  The main review starts around 1:00:32, if you want to just get to all the Tom Clancy goodness. We’re discussing Without Remorse, gushing over Harrison Ford’s tenure as Jack Ryan, and debating whether or not &#...

MORTAL KOMBAAAAAT! This week, we unlock a secret character to help us review 2021’s Mortal Kombat… it’s John Say from The Love of Cinema Podcast! Join the three of us as we discuss the film, plus compare it to the 1995 version, sing the praises of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and lament the fact that modern trailers just give too damn much away. We also discover the real identity...
