Deep Dish Movie Month

How do you feel about Shrek? Are those feelings strong enough that you'd watch all four Shrek movies back-to-back in a single day? James and Julia end their podcast hiatus with just such an event, and they invite you to listen in as their minds unravel over the course of this very special Thin Crust episode of DDMM.   This episode's films: Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, Shrek Forever After.   Follow us on Twitter at @deepdishmovies, on Letterboxd at @deepdishmovies, and visit our site at https://www.deepdish.show!

Some have said that listening to this podcast is like watching a movie with us. We mostly disagree, because watching a movie with us usually involves more screaming at the TV and threatening to have lines of dialogue tattooed on our bodies. But now you can have the real experience of watching a movie with us, all from the comfort of your own home! Join us as we watch "Big Trouble in Little China," a movie about people who can shoot lightning out of their mouths.   This episode's film: Big Trouble in Little China (1986)   Follow us on Twitter at @deepdishmovies, on Letterboxd at @deepdishmovies, and visit our site at https://www.deepdish.show!

How do you end up being the highest-grossing actor of all time? By being the best in the biz, that's how.

Jackson, it's just that simple.   This episode's films (& franchises!): the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Star Wars prequel trilogy, the xXx trilogy, Amos & Andrew, Loaded Weapon 1, The 51st State, Kong: Skull Island, Hard Eight, The Spirit.   Follow us on Twitter at @deepdishmovies, on Letterboxd at @deepdishmovies, and visit our site at https://www.deepdish.show!
