Educating Jeremy

Hello Educators! We are back with a brand new edition! We've been gone for over a year! WOW! Time flies when you are swamped at the day job. But, we're back! A little rusty, but here we are. This episode, Deana Marie educates Jeremy on the 1988 fantasy movie Willow, starring Warwick Davis, Joanne Whalley, and Val Kilmer. Hasn't everyone seen this movie? Well, not Jeremy! But that has been remedied! Check out this episode to see what he thought about it and if it "holds up". Also, towards the end, Jeremy refers to Chris Claremont as Chris Claremount. An easy mispronunciation but, rest assured, he has beaten himself about the head and shoulders for this egregious error.

This episode, Deana and Jeremy break the mold that the show is built on, and talk about the latest entry into the Halloween franchise, the newly released Halloween Kills! If you are an Educator, you know that Deana LOVES Horror movies, and that Halloween is one of her all time favorites. Listen in as these two discuss this...masterpiece?...disaster? You'll have to listen to find out! Happy Halloween, Educators!

The holidays are over but while there's snow on the ground it still feels like Christmas.  Jeremy and Deana-Marie keep the holiday spirit going with the 1944 classic Meet Me in St. Louis, starring the incomparable Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, the "it girl" of silent films Mary Astor and Leon Ames.  Directed by Vincent Minelli and set just after the turn of the century, everyone is excited about the of t 1904 the World's Fair coming to St. Louis!

This week, we have a very special guest in the studio! Jeremy's son Ian sits in to talk about the 1988 Christmas classic, Die Hard! While Jeremy has seen this one, Ian has not!

This episode is an Educating Deana episode! Jeremy introduces Deana Marie to the movie that terrified hime as a child! The `978, made for TV movie, "he Ghost of Flight 401"!

It's almost impossible to believe we hadn't yet covered a film based on the writings of Stephen King.  Well, believe it!  This week we rectify that offense with the 1976 thriller Carrie, based on King's book and directed by Brian DePalma.  It was almost accidental how Deana-Marie and Jeremy landed on this movie, King's first novel and the first film made from one of his books.  Yes, he's a lucky son of a gun, and Deana-Marie's favorite author.  This episode is full of so much trivia, cast members popping up in other films and, as Jeremy called it, the slap fest of 1976.  

'Tis the season.  We're falling into fall, getting excited for Halloween and starting our seasonal movie watching early this year with the 1993 film Hocus Pocus, directed by Kenny Ortega, starring Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, Sarah Jessica Parker and Thora Birch.  Will Jeremy enjoy this family Halloween comedy as much as Deana Marie?  All we can tell you for now is Jeremy wrote a subtitle for the movie - When You Get Outed as a Virgin by Three Witches.  Hurry up and listen, before we put a spell on you. 

We are back! After wwhat turned into a 5 month hiatus, we are back! And, this episode, we are talking about a new movie that neither of us had seen! We are talking about the 3rd installment of the Bill & Ted series! 

This week Deana Marie and Jeremy discuss the new Blumhouse home release film The Hunt, written by Nick Cuse and Damon Lindelof, directed by Craig Zobel.  Called "a disturbance to our country" and "dangerous" our hosts get into their thoughts about the film and it's messages.  Spoilers are clearly marked so no worries if you want to watch The Hunt for yourself before listening to all the spoilery bits. 

This episode is a little different. It's not a movie that Deana loves and Jeremy hasn't seen. It's a movie that NEITHER of them had seen... The Invisible Man!

This week, Deana and Jeremy talk about the 1944 Ingrid Bergman film, Gaslight! Ever wonder where the term "gaslighting" came from? This is where!

On this episode, Deana Marie and Jeremy discuss the 2013 Simon Pegg, Nick Frost movie The World's End! Deana, as we all know, is a HUGE Simon Pegg fan. But, will Jerremy like this one? 

What do you do when the movie you've planned to watch is unavailable anywhere, you watch Absolutely Anything. It's a "Flip the Script" episode as Jeremy educates Deana Marie about - shockingly - a Simon Pegg film she's never seen. 

Recently a few members of the Educating Jeremy Discussion Group asked about what gets left on the cutting room floor.  Little did they know we've been keeping some of the bloopers and outtakes for a New Year's Eve surprise!  It's short, sweet, full of shenanigans and 100% classic Deana Marie and Jeremy.  Thank you for taking this crazy movie ride with us and we look forward to bringing you more episodes in 2020!

Since the listeners "demand" a Christmas episode, we had to release an episode featuring a traditional Christmas film - the 1947 holiday classic Miracle on 34th Street starring Maureen O'Hara, Edmund Gwenn, Natalie Wood and John Payne. This film is a staple in Deana Marie's holiday movie catalog and, of course, it's a first for Jeremy.  There's loads of holiday cheer, more laughs than ever and some of the best trivia we've ever shared.  Happy holidays to you and yours!

Merry Xmas Educators! This episode, Deana Marie educates Jeremy about the 2015 Holiday Horror movie, Krampus!

Deana Marie and Jeremy are back in a special bonus episode about the Galaxy Quest documentary Never Give Up, Never Surrender. This special Fathom Entertainment screening was a one night only engagement, and chance for our hosts to go deeper into space with the crew of the NTE-3120.

How is it possible Jeremy has never seen the film that launched horror slasher films, the 1978 John Carpenter and Debra Hill film Halloween, starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Deana Marie gives Jeremy quite a lot of shit for this one, although he did see the 2018 sequel.  Keep the Halloween spirit going with this episode dedicated to Michael Myers.  Our hosts discuss both the 1978 and 2018 films and share their thoughts about more sequels in the works.  Plus Jeremy's got some trivia in this episode that blows Deana Marie's mind.  Shocking, because she thinks she knows everything there is to know about Halloween!

This week, Deana Marie educates Jeremy on the 1960 classic, Psycho! They discuss the story, the history, and the trivia of this iconic entry into the Horror genre. Will Jeremy like it? Will he think it is outdated? Let's find out!

Believe it, or not, Jeremy had never seen the original Friday The 13th! This film came out in 1980, hot on the heels of John Carpenter's Halloween. Let's find out what Jeremy thoughtabout this "must see" movie. 

This week Deana Marie and Jeremy head "back in time" to 1954 with the Hitchcock classic Rear Window starring Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart. This is Jeremy's FIRST Hitchcock film.  Deana Marie thinks it's a sure bet because she knows in her heart Jeremy has become a classic film fan, but what will Jeremy say?  Is this thriller chilling enough for Jeremy's taste?  And what will he think of his first experience with the master of cinema, Alfred Hitchcock?  There's gushing over our stars, lots of great trivia, spoiler free and spoiler filled segments plus our hosts wonder how you use the bathroom when you've got a cast from your toes up to your waist!

This week, Deana educates Jeremy about the 2008 Jason Statham film The Bank Job! Terry Leather and his crew embark on a bank heist that goes awry when, it turns out, one of the crew has ulterior motives for suggesting the plot. Between the police, other criminals, and the British goverment, will Terry and the crew survive? More importantly, will Jeremy like the movie? Listen and find out!

This week, we talk about the 2007 movie Enchanted! Enchanted stars Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, and Idena Menzel in a somewhat different take on the old Disney Princess theme. The film also features actors like Susan Sarandon, Timothy Spall, Rachel Covey and more! This movie is high on the list of all time favorites for Deana and her daughter. Will Jeremy like it as much? We'll see...

This week, Deana and Jeremy talk about the AMC series NOS4A2. An adaptation of the Joe Hill book by the same name.    Both of them are big fans of Joe Hill. Did they love it? Did they hate it? Or was it just...meh?

This week, we took Jeremy's son Ian to see Young Frankenstein at Laurel Hill Cemetery's "Cinema in the Cemetery"! This was going to be an Educating Ian episode but, as it turns out, Jeremy had not seen this one either!

In this episode Deana Marie and Jeremy watch and discuss the 2013 film Horns starring Daniel Radcliffe, based on the second novel by horror author Joe Hill.  Both hosts read the book, Jeremy barely remembers it and Deana Marie gushes over our author and the star of the film. This one is filled with a few more laughs than usual, even more clips thanks to Jeremy's sound board and lots of conversation about Deana's favorite author. Enjoy!

Deana Marie and Jeremy head back to the 80s with the 1984 sci-fi apocalypse film Night of the Comet, starring Kelli Maroney and Catherine Mary Stewart.  Night of the Comet is one of Deana Marie's special selection of lesser known 80s films, a movie Jeremy thinks is filled with all the trappings of a typical 80s movie, but maybe with a little more to offer.  Leave your Mastercards at home because the stores are open!

WARNING: If you have not seen Jordan Peele's new movie Us, do NOT listen to this episode!  It is filled with SPOILERS! Deana Mare and Jeremy change it up in this episode, discussing a new release movie: Us, written and directed by Jordan Peele.  Our hosts were thrilled for the release of Us, but were they thrilled when they left the theater? While the movie is new, the format is the same; our hosts share their thoughts about the latest installment from a new master of horror, they laugh and curse, share trivia and Jeremy seems to be mastering the sound board. But again, if you have not yet seen US, do not listen! You've been warned!  Also please forgive our scratchy voices, we were both sick!

This episode we talk about one of the quintessential movies of the 1980's! 1984's The Neverending Story!

The Wizard of Oz is Deana's favorite movie of ALL TIME! If she could only have one movie to watch for the rest of her life, it would be this one. Turns out, Jeremy had never seen it...kind of... BUT! It came to the theater down the street for a special 80th Anniversary showing. So, of course, we had to go see it.    Last episode, we promised a 80's fantasy movie. But this was a "movie emergency" as Deana put it. Have no fear though, next episode is all about the 80's!

Jeremy and Deana Marie keep the holiday spirit going with the modern Christmas romantic comedy Love Actually, written and directed by Richard Curtis.  Please ignore the fact Deana Marie has to convince Jeremy this film is actually a Christmas movie.  It's got a stellar ensemble cast, a terrific soundtrack and a bigger fan in Jeremy than Deana Marie expected. 

In this holiday episode of Educating Jeremy, Deana Mare and Jeremy share their thoughts and feelings about the 1946 Christmas classic film It's a Wonderful Life, directed by Frank Capra and starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.  This is the FIRST (and only) Jimmy Steward movie Jeremy's ever seen, while It's a Wonderful Life was a part of Deana's childhood and a long standing Christmas tradition. Will Jeremy love this film as much as Deana Marie? He'd better!

This week Deana educates Jeremy about ELF! 

By listener request we have flipped the script!  In this episode Jeremy gets to educate Deana Marie about the 2015 film Age of Adeline starring Blake Lively, Ellen Burstyn, Michiel Huisman and Harrison Ford.  This is the first episode in which Jeremy picked the movie; now its Deana's turn to get educated!  NOTE: Our hosts experienced an unexpected technical difficulty recording this episode and the audio quality isn't what is normally featured.  Thank you for listening nonetheless!

We continue our horror movie celebration (yeah, Halloween is over but so what) with the 2004 horror adventure comedy Shaun of the Dead, directed by Edgar Wright, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.  This is the first film in what Deana Marie calls the Trifecta, although its more widely known as one of the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy.  Deana Marie absolutely loves this unique take on the classic zombie genre.  Jeremy loves the soundtrack, but does Jeremy think Shaun of the Dead is a little bit of fried gold? Tune in to find out!

Deana Marie and Jeremy had a most excellent date night recently; watching the classic horror film Nosferatu outside at Laurel Hill Cemetery, one of the oldest and first pastoral cemeteries in the country.  This film is nearly 100 years old and has influenced so many films and filmmakers.  It's even featured in an episode of Sponge Bob Square Pants.  Turn the lights down low because it's about to get spooky on Educating Jeremy. 

This week, Deana Marie educates Jeremy about what some people call the scariest movie of all time...The Babadook! 

Our trip down the memory lane of 80s movies continue with a listener requested film from 1989: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. How 16 year old Jeremy never saw this movie when it was released is beyond anyone's comprehension.  Yeah, it's cheesy.  Yeah, it's excellent, at least according to Deana Marie.  She loves what she considers a nod to Dr. Who, young Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, and the most epic history presentation of all time.  Jeremy loves.... well, love might be a strong word for this one.  BTW, did you know Deana Marie bakes for Jeremy on every recording day?  Guess those throat punches are meant in love.  Excellent!  Strange things are afoot on Educating Jeremy.

Jeremy never watched Purple Rain.  No sugar coating it, he was a little dude when it came out, Deana Marie was almost 15 and although she couldn't see it in the theater, she saw it once Purple Rain hit VHS and she's been watching it ever since.  This film is an homage to the album of the same name, the Revolution and one of the greatest artists of all time.  Jeremy and Deana Marie discuss their mutual love of Prince, how Purple Rain showcases his music and the story of a kid trying to make it in the music industry in Minneapolis in 1984. 

This week Jeremy and Deana Marie take a trip back in time to the days of Technicolor as they watch and discuss John Ford's The Quiet Man, starring Maureen O'Hara, John Wayne, Barry Fitzgerald and Victor McLaglen.  This film was a favorite of someone very special in Deana Marie's life so this episode has a little nostalgia, a lot of laughter, the usual throat punches and some deep discussion about the changes in how relationships are portrayed on screen today vs. 60+ years ago.  There's also a very interesting discussion about Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure at the very end of the episode so be sure to stick around for that!

In this episode we invite you to say hello to our little friend!  Deana Marie and Jeremy enter the world of drug trafficking in the 80s with iconic character Tony Montana.  Shocking to think Jeremy hadn't seen Scarface, yet can quote the movie with great skill. Deana Marie gets nostalgic, sharing memories from the first time she saw Scarface, and her reactions as an adult aren't entirely different.  This movie was a special request by Justin, host of the Peripheral Podcast and co-host of Generation why Podcast.

Things get spooky this week on Educating Jeremy as Deana Marie and Jeremy discuss one of her favorite ghost story movies: The Conjuring.  Based on actual events, our hosts talk about the film, the hauntings behind the movie, how they feel about Ed and Lorraine Warren and some great podcasts who actually interviewed Andrea Perron, one of the daughters affected by the haunting.  

We've finally done it! We've found a movie Deana Marie loves which may not appeal quite as much to Jeremy - Snakes on a Plane.  This is classic Samuel L Jackson, although there aren't as many MFs as you might expect in a SLJ movie.  Not to worry, our hosts more than make up for that.  Deana Marie and Jeremy talk about snakes, snakes and more snakes, plus a bird that speaks with an Australian accent. Tune in to find out why this movie, which was an internet sensation before its release, is a favorite for Deana Marie's.  How Jeremy managed to suffer through this one is anyone's guess.

This week we celebrate Deana Marie's Italian heritage with the 1987 film Moonstruck, starring two of her favorite actors: Nicholas Cage and Cher.  Jeremy was dubious about the casting but finds there's more depth, humor and love under la bella luna than he imagined.  We laughed, she cried and as always, there's an occasional throat punch.  This is an extra special episode about a movie that was a favorite of a special man in Deana Marie's life, and becomes a special movie to Jeremy too. A la familia!

No, contrary to Jeremy's initial thoughts, this is not a movie featuring Yahoo Serious!  Young Sherlock Holmes is a film from 1985 starring Nicholas Rowe as the title character (one of Deana Marie's teenage crushes,) and tells the story of how Holmes and Watson met while investigating their first case at Brompton Academy in Victorian England.  Can Jeremy get past what he sees as a dated but fun movie?  And how many times will Deana Marie gush about Nicholas Rowe?   Follow the show on social media!

From the first moment she saw it, Galaxy Quest has been one of Deana Marie's favorite films. Alan Rickman, check!  Tim Allen, Check! Sigourney Weaver, check! Justin Long, check! Homage to all the fans who love Star Trek and wish like anything Galaxy Quest was real, check!  Deana Marie watches this movie multiple times a year, yet Jeremy had never seen it. He probably had no intentions of every watching it since he figured it was a cheesy sci-fi spoof that even William Shatner wouldn't watch.  And he would be wrong. Follow the show on social media!

Welcome to the very first episode of Educating Jeremy, the podcast where Deana Marie, host of TwistedPhilly, convinces Jeremy, host of Podcast We Listen To, to watch movies she loves but he's never seen.  In this first episode our hosts watch The Visit by M. Night Shyamalan, who happens to be one of Deana Marie's favorite filmmakers and a Philly boy.  There's lots of love for M. Knight, a few cuss words, lots of laughs and a few Shania Twains thrown in for good measure.  Oh, in case we forget, don't go in the shed. Follow the show on social media!

Educating Jeremy is a new bi-weekly podcast hosted by a pod couple; Deana Marie and Jeremy.  Both love movies, but somehow Jeremy hasn't seen most of the movies Deana Marie loves.  That's where Educating Jeremy comes in.  Every other week our hosts watch a movie on Deana Marie's list of favorites to educate Jeremy.  They'll talk about why Deana Marie loves the movie, why Jeremy never saw it and what he thinks of it now that he has.  This pod is genre agnostic - our hosts watch everything from comedy to horror and anything in between. They laugh together, cuss together and watch movies together so we can all be a part of Educating Jeremy.
