The Movie Council

This week we review the 2022 film Blonde and discuss some of our favorite biopics. We also have some movie news and a quick spoiler-free review of the upcoming movie Amsterdam. Plus, The Rotten Tomatoes Game makes it's long awaited return. Will a new champion be crowned? Will this episode go off the rails and turn into a train wreck? There's only one way to find out. Enjoy!

The whole crew is here this week to talk about some murder mystery movies. We take a deep dive into the 2019 film Knives Out as well as some old classics. We have a great time discussing the virtues of being a private investigator and look at how many times Sherlock Holmes has been adapted. This is an extra fun episode with some extra doses of absurdity. Enjoy!

The whole crew is back this week and we are talking about some treasure hunting movies. We take a look at the 2022 film The Lost City as well as some of our other favorites. Since all 4 of us are here for the first time in quite a while, things go a bit off the rails. We do keep it together long enough to bring it home and it ends up being another great episode. Enjoy!

We bring you a little bit of everything this week. We start the show with some movie news and a fun movie theory. After that, we give some movie recommendations to one of our listeners that will be taking an 11 hour flight and needs stuff to watch. We wrap the show up with a deep dive into the 2022 Baz Luhrman film Elvis. All in all it's a really great episode. Enjoy!

We're finally doing it. After 2 years of podcasting, we are diving into The Marvel Cinematic Universe. We are starting at the beginning and talking about Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 and Thor. Daddy is very excited to be talking about these movies, but is anyone else? Tune in to find out. Enjoy!

This week we bring you a review of the Paul Thomas Anderson film Licorice Pizza. We also try to rank all of PTA's movies and in typical fashion, alcohol plays a big role in knocking things off the rails. We try to keep things going, but end up where we always do. It's a really fun episode, from what I remember. Enjoy!

We have another amazing episode for you this week. We review the film The Black Phone and also discuss our favorite performances by the great Ethan Hawke (that's right, I said the great) From Reality Bites to Training Day and everything in between. We start the episode by talking about Dan's recasting of The Princess Bride. Make sure you reach out and let us know if you agree with Dan or Marky on...

This week we review the Hulu Original films Not Okay and Prey. After getting caught up with each other and reading a listener email, we take a deep dive into each movie and tell you what we liked and didn't like about them. We also try a new segment at the end of the show where we give some recommendations. Stick around until then and let us know what you think. Enjoy!

We are back! After a short hiatus we have returned to do what we do best; talk movies and drink. This week, after getting caught up with each other we talk a bit about who's alive or dead and cover a little movie news and then we dig into the new Netflix film The Gray Man. We have a lot to say about this one and we don't hold back. Once again, this was a very fun episode and we hope you enjoy it a...

This week we review some movies you can watch on Amazon Prime right now. We break down the new film Emergency as well as a couple older films, Love and Monsters and Coherence. We all had some different views on each movie and we cover a lot of ground. We also read some listener emails and play another round of the bad review game. It's another great episode. Enjoy!

We're back with a couple more movies. This week we review the Bollywood blockbuster RRR and the Peacock original The Outfit. They are 2 very different films, but 2 very interesting ones. We have a lot to say about each and we almost kept things on the rails this time. Crazy, right? We do spoil them both, so be warned and enjoy!

The whole crew is back this week. We get caught up with each other and discuss the train wreck that was our last episode and then dive into 2 new(ish) movies. We give our very spoiler heavy reviews of The Northman and Everything Everywhere All At Once. There's a lot to talk about with both films and we try to cover it all. It was a great episode and we had a blast doing it. Enjoy!

I couldn't decide what to call this episode because there is so much going on. The entire episode is basically a train wreck, but it is a fun one. We start it off by answering some questions from a listener and things get a little too real. We try to keep it together and talk about Jon Favreau before moving on and reviewing Top Gun: Maverick, Men and The Bob's Burgers Movie. We do specialize in go...

In an attempt to distract ourselves (and hopefully, you too) from the horrific crap in the world, we decided to play some games and have a few laughs. We talk about Tom Cruise's best movies, Ray Liotta, bad reviews of great films and some good old fashioned movie trivia. We had a good time not thinking about things and hopefully you will too. Enjoy!

We are bringing you some 3 way action this week. After some movie news and another listener email, we dive into 3 movies that are currently available to stream. We break down The Last Duel, Nobody and Code 8. There's a lot to talk about with each of these and we had a great time doing it. Enjoy!

We're back at it this week and we are talking about the movies we generally don't want to admit we actually like. From terrible films to chick flicks, we have a little bit of everything. I would say this episode goes off the rails, but this one was never on the rails to begin with. Enjoy!

We're back again this week doing what we do best, getting drunk and talking movies. We don't have a specific topic, but we give you some movie news, some movie trivia and some bad movie reviews. We just kick back and shoot the breeze. We had a great time and we hope you have fun listening. Enjoy!

We have the whole crew back again this week and we're talking about some revenge movies. With so many great ones out there we narrowed it down and each picked one movie for someone else to watch. It didn't exactly go as planned and there may be a member of the Council that is looking for some revenge himself, but we still had a great time. We break down The Crow, Blue Ruin, Mandy and The Gift. It'...

We are back this week and we're talking about some time loop movies. There are a bunch of great ones out there, but we are focusing on three of them. Things naturally go off the rails, but it's a really fun time. Enjoy! We are back this week and we're talking about some time loop movies.

It's pick a movie week again and we pick some great ones for each other to watch. After a little Oscar talk and some congratulating ourselves we break down 4 films that are streaming now. We take a deep dive into Sound Of Metal, I'm Your Woman, Fresh and Black Crab. We don't all see eye to eye on these ones, but that leads to some interesting conversations. It's another great episode. Enjoy!

It's that time of year, so we're talking about The Academy Awards. We break down some of the categories and give our predictions on who should win and who will win. Unfortunately, those 2 things aren't always the same. We also answer a couple of listener questions and talk about the greatest Irish actors of all time. In true Movie Council fashion, the alcohol flows and things get a bit crazy. Enjo...

*Spoiler Warning* This week we review The Batman. We are a man down, but the 3 remaining Movie Council members take a deep dive into the brand new film The Batman. We talk about every aspect of the film and give our thoughts on them. From Matt Reeves’ directing to Robert Pattinson’s performance, we try to cover everything we liked and didn’t like about the biggest movie in the world. We do give so...

The whole crew is back again and this week we are talking about the film makers and actors that we think are poised for a breakout. From younger people just starting out to some veterans that are ready to shoot to the top, we each give our thoughts on who’s next. We dig into some really great directors and actors and one of us will definitely be bragging a year from now when we turn out to be corr...

We are back again talking about 2 more episodes of the hit Sy Fy series Resident Alien. We break down episode 8; End of the World as We Know It and episode 9: Welcome Aliens. We dig into the themes of these episodes and the greatness of Alan Tudyk as well as some more speculation on what's to come in the season finale. Another really mediocre episode about a really great show. Enjoy!

The whole crew is back!! It’s episode 69, so naturally everyone wanted to be here and since it’s also Super Bowl weekend we dive into our favorite sports movies. We each talk about 3 of our favorite movies and in typical Movie Council fashion, things go off the rails. Between the drinking and the excitement, we have an amazing time and have some really great conversations about some really great f...
