We're Watching What?!

Can you support a film that stars someone problematic? Which version of Nic Cage is the best Nic Cage? What is the logic behind the format restructuring of RuPaul's Drag Race ?

January always brings a lull in the quality of films but the Vanessa Kirby led Pieces of a Woman and the Hilary Swank thriller Fatale do not bode well for our 2021 viewing prospects.  Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

Bring on the George Clooney in The Midnight Sky and Matt learns more about his Irish roots (aside from what he's learned from Lucky Charms) with Wolfwalkers . Also we explore Season 13 of RuPaul's Drag Race and how the show can become more inclusive (but also protect performance spaces) .  Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com/thedhk , a...

On the first day of 2021 let's take an opportunity to watch some films that you may have missed (or weren't available to you yet) in 2020! Enjoy a spoiler free review of Tenet, the animated Wolfwalkers , the painfully honest Never Rarely Sometimes Always, and the self realized The Forty-Year-Old Version.  Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com...

Our last episode of 2020 is also our most divisive! Having watched Pixar's Soul, Wonder Woman 1984, and Bridgerton all in the span of a few days - this might be the most divided THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt have been to date. Plus we cover the highlights (and most challenging) watchin's of the year.  Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com/the...

We welcome Pixar's Soul Supervising Animator Jude Brownbill to the episode to talk about the challenges of the film, existential life questions, and leadership advice (especially for women in animation).  Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com Jude Brownbill can be found at twitter.com/judebrownbill and animfocus.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com/thedhk , and facebook...

We knew this day had to come, but Season 2 of The Mandalorian has come to a close (major spoiler alert for the season). We cover our highs and lows and work out some greater Star Wars timelines for you. Also we posit how The Child can become the Nick Fury of the Star Wars Disney+ Universe. Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com/thedhk , and fa...

Two stage to screen adaptations with Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and One Night in Miami. A video game adaptation (cause those always go well... right?) of Monster Hunter. Finally one of the most promising films of the year with Promising Young Woman. Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

We're forced to watch a Meryl Streep double feature with The Prom and Let Them All Talk. We continue our terrible holiday original movie tour de diversity with A Sugar & Spice Holiday - the Asian / Asian American led film. Finally we have some great ideas for the producers of 12 Dates of Christmas on HBO Max (starting with hiring us and a drag Santa Claus).  Find us at www.werewatchingwha...

It was only fitting given the amount of news announced on Disney Investor Day that THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt bring you a super sized episode to discuss the over 100 titles that were announced!  Everything from Ahsoka getting her own show to Patty Jenkins being the first woman to helm a Star Wars feature to Samuel L. Jackson coming to Disney+ (plus Chapter 15 of The Mandalorian ).  Find us...

Several misguided or outright boring films up for review this week with I'm Your Woman, Wild Mountain Thyme, and the Meryl Streep double feature of The Prom, and Let Them All Talk.  Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

Is The Mandalorian going to swing towards Rebels or Rise of Skywalker? Does David Fincher care if anyone likes Mank? What's the difference between deaf culture and not being able to hear in Sound of Metal? Why are we torturing ourselves with a tour de terrible "diverse" holiday films like Christmas Ever After? Finally, are fairy tale characters literate? All questions THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt cove...

Awards season has truly begun with several contenders (though not all deserving) including Sound of Metal ( with Riz Ahmed), Nomadland ( with Frances McDormand), Ammonite (with Kate Winslet and Saorise Ronan), and Mank ( with Gary Oldman, Lily Collins and Amanda Seyfried). Also the family friendly Godmothered (with Jillian Bell and Isla Fisher) on Disney+. Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com yout...

Breaking news about Warner Bros sending their ENTIRE 2021 film slate to HBO Max. It's timely as it was an HBO Max-tastic week with the new holiday reality dating show 12 Dates of Christmas, the Melissa McCarthy "comedy" Superintelligence , and we finally finished The Undoing.  Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com/thedhk , and facebook.c...

We get some MAJOR plot development in Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian, tackle the LGBTQ+ holiday film Happiest Season, witness a film about a protagonist with a disability played by.... an actual actress who is a wheelchair user! and finally take on Ron Howard's Hillbilly Elegy .  Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com/thedhk , and facebook...

A holiday weekend in the US brings a smorgasbord of viewing offerings but like with any feast some are delicious and some will leave you with indigestion. Happiest Season , We Are the Champions, The Croods: A New Age , Uncle Frank , Superintelligence, and Hillbilly Elegy are all up for review - but which will fill your up and which will leave you with regrets? Listen and find out! Find us at: www....

Would you pay for officially licensed The Mandalorian space macarons? How many Vanessa Hudgens is too many in The Princess Switch: Switched Again? Is anyone truly prepared for the intensity of the Netflix Christmas musicals Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square and Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey ? Is there any possible way to deliver a satisfying answer to the mystery of The Undoing as we wat...

In spite of a stellar cast Armando Iannucci's The Personal History of David Copperfield fails to make the Dickens classic widely watchable. Guy Pearce tries to give an artistic rendering of a World War 2 art crime thriller in The Last Vermeer but lays it on too thick. Finally Vanessa Hudgens tackles her most ambitious role yet: poorly acting as 3 different versions of herself in Netflix's The Prin...

Wonder Woman 1984 is coming to HBO Max on Christmas and so like the Justice League, THEDHK, Jacque and Matt gathered together when urgently called by this important news. What does this mean for films like Black Widow and James Bond ? Will we be able to buy WW84 toys in time for the holidays?! Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk , twitter.com/thedhk , an...

Should all episodes of The Mandalorian take place on aquatic planets? Why does Matt resent LEGOs? Will we ever see the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special on streaming? Why can't we have original content vs retellings of the SAMEEE stories over and over? Where did Nicole Kidman's accent go in The Undoing ? THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt dive into in this week's episode. Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com TH...

We wish Come Away would go away as it's one of the worst movies we've seen all year (and that's saying something). Also a brief FYI that Ammonite is out in theaters but will be on streaming Dec 4 - it's worth a watch but with tempered expectations.  Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

Does Baby Yoda aka The Child actually not understand language or are they just a naughty toddler? How important are male skin care routines? Does anyone actually sit at home wallowing on Valentine's Day? All questions THEDHK, Jacque and Matt dive into as they discuss The Mandalorian, Holidate, and The Undoing.  Find us at www.werewatchingwhat.com THEDHK can be found at instagram.com/thedhk ,...

You should absolutely not go to Let Him Go and unfortunately you also probably shouldn't make a date with Holidate on Netflix (which feels like it was sponsored by a mall lobbyist group). Find us at: www.werewatchingwhat.com youtube.com/thedhk twitter.com/thedhk instagram.com/thedhk facebook.com/thedhkmovies

How does a Sarlacc digestive system actually work? Are we going to have to watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars ? Why did Jango Fett never have a problem taking off his helmet? Does any of this really matters or do we just care about our beloved Baby Yoda returning (yes yes we know it's "The Child") in The Mandalorian Chapter 9? Jacque and Matt once again join THEDHK to discuss Mando, Netflix's The Que...
