Year Over Year with Dave and Dave

Join us this week as we load up our weapons, pick a side we're not sure we can trust, and dive headlong into two pictures about loyalty, vengeance, and the masks people wear to survive. We are reviewing The Departed and Django Unchained with our three-time guest, Christen Zatz-Gilman!

Let's put on our best cerulean, take a shot of darkroom developer, and hop on that motorcycle in the desert, and walk straight into two films about the intoxicating, corrosive pull of powerful people who want something from you. We are reviewing The Devil Wears Prada and The Master with the effervescent Raz Mostaghimi! Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yearoveryear_podcast/ Music b...

This episode we pull on our gas masks, dodge a few falling civilizations, and hurl ourselves headlong into two staggeringly ambitious films that ask whether humanity is worth saving, and somehow make you believe it is? Lead by our first time guest, Blake Wales, we will find the true true, or die on a rowboat trying to. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yearoveryear_podcast/ Music b...

For the second week in a row, we are doing our best to avoid reality (because it's dark!), and jumping into two movies that are full of magical realism: The Fall and Life of Pi. The effervescent Jonny Cantrell joins us in the pod basement this episode, where we will unpack which budget for these movies was bigger: The Fall's helmet budget, or Life of Pi's animated tiger budget.

Join us this week as we put on our rain boots, crawl into that weird old tree, and jump headlong into two really beautiful films that blur the line between harsh realities and vivid fantasy. We are reviewing Pan's Labyrinth and Beasts of the Southern Wild with our magical guest, Miranda Anapol!

We are back, and wrapping up a season that almost never happened! 1998 will live on to fight another day. We visited a broad set of topics this season including: two wildly different movies that owe a little something to their detective noir forefathers; war! what's it good for? not much besides beating back nazis; the quest for love; putting your personal lives on video; and a very beloved little...

This episode we tackle the age-old question: what's the best way to convince your crush to take a chance on you? With a boombox? Or with a horrifying zipper incident? That's right! We are talking about Say Anything and There's Something About Mary. And joining us for this quest is one of our favorite guests, Maddy Sweeney. We are super excited to be back!

How do we act when we know we're being watched? What about when we don't? Either way, this episode (like all episodes), we are the voyeurs. And our arbiter of voyeuristic truth this episode is local filmmaker, Sean Whiteman. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yearoveryear_podcast/ Music by Saturday's Child: https://www.facebook.com/saturday.s.child.2025/ Hey! Say something to us!: y...

What's on the menu this episode? Welp, amongst other things, apparently WAR? This week we have one of our favorite local chefs and all-around Nates, Nate May on the pod. He's here to help unpack two modern classics about what we do in war, and what war does to us, respectively. Also, we talk extensively about the menu at Ps and Qs in NE Portland.

Crime is afoot this week! And we've got two of our most beloved detectives on the case: a stoner slacker who only drinks white russians, and a rich kid who decided to become a vigilante of justice after witnessing his parents' murder. We've got our own sleuth of the truth, Peri Ahmadi, on the show this week! Join us as we dive into these two classics, dance with the devil in the pale moonlight, an...

This episode we bring the truth, Ruth! We're diving into two films by the one and only Spike Lee. One boils over in a single explosive day; the other unfolds like a long, aching timeout. And our return guest, Lauren Russell, serves as referee for this match.

Another one in the books! And this was a little bit of a surprise! A year that I never really considered super strong takes the win, and heads into round two. We had existential crises, grimy underworlds, realities that question reality, and, of course, a couple of abusive mentor relationships. FUN TIMES! Give us a listen and find out what we're covering next season. Follow us on Instagram: https:...

Let's take a long walk through the Copacabana! Or maybe The Red Circle? It's cool, we have a tab, or maybe we'll just pay for the entire night with a single gold coin. That's right! This week we are heading into two different crime underbellies! And our mafioso of the evening is Nate Smith! He will decide how thin we need to slice the garlic, and which of these crime classic wins the week.  Follow...

"And you may find yourself, in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife, and you may ask yourself, 'Well, how did I get here?'" This episode we are NOT talking Talking Heads, but we are taking on two beloved sci-fi films. One of which asks, "What is reality?", and the other asks, "What is perseverance?" Josh Pierce is our guest, our Kuato, and is here to help us unpack all the fun. Follow us on In...

Where are we? Are we trapped inside our own psyche? Are we suspended between heaven and hell? Are both of those the same place? We can't figure it out, but our guest, Bill McKinley, can! This episode we dig into two movies that question what is real, and what is just our own minds. Gosh, I could use a chiropractic adjustment.

This week we try and pass the Turing Test! Were we created by an eccentric inventor in the suburbs? Or an egomaniacal billionaire in his Norwegian estate? Well, our guest, Matt Keeslar, will help us decide which camp we belong to, and which of these tales wins the week!

Give us a masochistic listen this week, as we tackle a couple of movies with unique relationship dynamics.

What a season! It seemed like both years were focused on one of two things: either running from the authorities, or heading to space. With a small aside for existential crises. Join us for this recap, and find out what movies we will cover next season.

This week we are not alone! Because we are joined by fellow podcasters, Greg Nibler and Sarah X Dylan, from Funemployment Radio. Who are here to discuss two extra-terrestrial movies with wildly different messages to take away. One will leave you optimistically looking upward, and the other will have you double-locking your doors and hiding under your bed. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instag...

Nick Medina is back on the pod! Which means no one knows what the hell is going to happen. We're going on the run this week with a little known 70s caper, and a much-beloved 90s classic. Your mantra this week is: You're so cool. You're so cool. You're so cool.

This is a BIG week! We are taking two of the most beloved created worlds out there. And we actually found a live human being who had NOT seen either of these movies. Maddy Sweeney joins us again, and we find out whether she's likes space operas or drive-thru zoos better.  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yearoveryear_podcast/ Music by Saturday's Child: https://www.facebook.com/sat...

This week we're going to repeat the pod until we get it right! And until we do, we're trapped in an industrial purgatory taking care of a...what the hell is that thing? Matt Berger joins us this week to discuss two existential classics, and we will find out which dance partner he chooses: The Lady in the Radiator or Ned Ryerson.

We've got a couple of sweaty pictures for you this week! One's about outrunning explosions in the jungle with nothing to lose; the other's about outrunning justice in Chicago with everything at stake. And our sweaty guest, Moonshine Post-production's Drew Sawyer, is here to decide which film deserves the win.

Just two film years apart, and here's some of the ground we covered this season: roads on foot, roads on wheels, existential doom, the power of cinema to change history, sprawling crime dramas, and of course, the rules of Halloween! Listen to us recap 2009 vs 2011, and hear us talk about some of the films we wish we could've seen. Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yearoveryear_podc...

This is a first for us! We have an original versus a remake. 2009's Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is going up against 2011's remake of the same name. One stars Noomi, the other stars Rooney. But this podcast stars Kelly Thomas! Which one will prevail? And can we even tell them apart? Give us a listen and find out!
