What We've Watched Podcast

So something happened during the years of 2020 and 2021, I can't quite remember - some sort of global catastrophe? Anyways...we missed out on doing a Top 5 for those years at the time so we decided to do a little catch up and knock them both out at once.

With the recent passing of amazing director Norman Jewison we have decided to rewatch a classic, 1971's Fiddler on the Roof!

Here we are at the end of another year and this week we bring you our Top 5 actors and actresses of the 1970s. Thanks all for listening and Happy New Year!

For your final Christmas film of the year we watch the very critically acclaimed Tokyo Godfathers. A wonderful, feel good film, perfect for this time of year. Merry Christmas folks!

This week we watched Eddie Murphy's Candy Cane Lane - finally a Christmas themed Christmas film. Unfortunately it was more Candy Cane Lame than we were hoping for. Tune in to hear our thoughts on this and some discussion about Christmas films the expectations as a whole.

Once again we end up adjacent to Christmas with the classic 1961 British film, Cash on Demand with Peter Cushing, a great holiday bank heist film.

This week is more Spook-tober as we delve into another anthology with Dr. Terror's House of Horrors. What ending awaits five men in a train seeing their fate though the tarot?

Here we are with the finale of The Prisoner - a wild episode brings this wild ride to and end with an even more , or does it?

Spook-tober continues with an anthology film from 1945,Dead of Night - featuring a series of short stories of the paranormal and a very good framing device for it all.

As the series comes to a close with the penultimate episode, we discusses the quite wild events and ideas put forth in it and have a few theories about the show and it's characters.

It's Top 5 time and this episode we are continuing our decade look back at our favorite actors and actresses, this time for the 1960s. It's a decade of film that we both felt we were lacking in watches but as it turns out there are some amazing films and many great acting roles to match.

So if you thought last week's episode had an out of left field story hold on because its all wacky hijinks with Number 6 and a villain with a Napoleon fetish, this week on The Prisoner.

It's the spooky season and so we take a look at the newest Disney offering, Haunted Mansion. Based on a great ride, starting a great cast, will it be indeed great? Tune in and find out.

This week Number 6 is saddles to the bar up to an Old West themed episode that is pretty wild in more ways than one.

It's been sitting in our "to watch" que for quite some time so we finally watched the critically acclaimed Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, from the director and starting the same main actors as one of our favorites films of all time, The Sting, so it's got to be brilliant right? Right?

This week we have an episode of The Prisoner without Number 6, well sort of? Not really but yes? It's a whole thing. Listen in and find out what happens in the village this time.

It's time to roll back the clock 20 years for another decade look back, this time with 2003's "Identity". Can an impressive cast and a well known director land the possibly overambitious ideas presented in this film? Listen in and find out.
