Craig, Cullen and, Tara bring you insightful, intelligent, and engaging conversation about gems of cinema. The films range from modern blockbusters to timeless classics--pop culture phenoms to underrated and under the radar diamonds in the rough. They all have one thing in common though, and it's ri…
A movie about a one-on-one fight tournament...where no one ever fights one-on-one and there is no tournament
"Impossible!" If you sang that word you're gonna love this episode. We take a trip down memory land with the 1997 made-for-TV movie Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" -- starring Brandy and Whitney Houston, as well as an incredibly stacked supporting cast. Check it out on Disney+!
We're joined by Matt Sanchez of The Moral Combat Pod to talk about the Disney hockey biopic based on the 1980 Olympic Games hockey match against Russia that captivated the U.S.
Get your shades on. We're talking about the John Carpenter classic critique on capitalism, They Live.
An interesting premise is undermined by some sour notes. Check out or episode on Disney's "Soul" and join us for live discussions each Sunday at noon MST on twitch.tv/iwytwt
Blood eating plants, Motown, and the vice-grip of capitalism...what more could you ask for?
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! We're back with the only appropriate way to end this flaming cat turd of a year, the off the rails disaster of the movie adaptation of Cats.
We're joined once again by Lance to talk about Hustlers...a movie that came out only a year ago if you can believe it!
We've got another movie we're not quite sure was made for kids. We're joined by Kate Warner from the Denver local band Church Fire and the "Bitches on Comics" podcast to talk about the movie that ruined a thousand childhoods!
We've got a listener selection for our latest episode! Join us as we dig into the Roald Dahl adaptation and try to figure out who exactly this movie was made for!
Badass immortals kicking ass led by Charlize Theron...do we really need to say anything else?
Who is the villain and who is the hero? A heist movie that only Spike Lee could make. Join us as we break it down!
Anyone else feeling like they're living the same day over and over again right now? Well, we've got the episode for you!
We compare the legendary Akira Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress" to the Star Wars franchise (mostly focusing on Episode IV). We wouldn't call it a rip-off...more a closely replicated homage.
Imagine an alien invasion movie in your mind. Picture it clearly...Before We Vanish will take it...and throw it out the window.
Iconic DC Comics characters collide in this delightfully unhinged sequel origin story that may not be perfect, but is one helluva fun ride the whole way!
For the first time in our 3 years, we're doing a TV show and we couldn't have asked for a better one to start with than Schitt's Creek! We are obSESSED!
Our resident Trekkies (Tara and Cullen) take Craig on a journey through their first Star Trek movie. Hit play and let's...engage!
The end of the saga goes out not with a bang, but with lightspeed skipping through plot points.
Craig, Cullen, and Tara recap some of their favorite things from the year and decade and uncover some hidden gems along the way.
The perfect murder mystery just in time for the holidays. Check out our latest episode on Rian Johnson's latest as we try to put the pieces of the puzzle together...and have a helluva a time doing it.
When Craig first saw this movie, there was no plan to do an episode on it, but as the referrals spread, Cullen and Tara found the movie just as phenomenally infectious. We even roped in friend of the pod, Montyy from Comfortably Excluded to join us on this wild ride of a film from Bong Joon-ho!
Lance visits from film school to join us once again to discuss the anti-Western that became a better Western than most in the genre. You can hear more from Lance in our Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (ep. 82) and Celeste and Jesse Forever (ep. 69) episodes.
The boys are back in town! Can Hobbs and Shaw overcome their egos to work together and save the world? If you've seen any of the Fast Franchise you already know the answer, and if you haven't you can probably guess pretty easily. Predictable as the destination may be the journey is still one helluva ride!
We've never been more emphatic about the title of this podcast as we have for this movie! Truly a hidden gem that didn't get the chance to shine. Whether it was distribution, marketing, or some combination of the two, Fast Color only hit theaters in (maybe) 5 cities nationwide and didn't stay there long. It's a beautifully told intimate story about three generations of women working to bring together the broken pieces of a strained relationship, all while trying to remain safe and hidden in a collapsing world and chased by those who want to exploit the earth-shattering power they hold.
Can Tessa Thompson and Chris Hemsworth save an uninspired, cash grabbing, Lexus ad with the power of pure charisma? They sure do try. Join us as we try to parse through this perfectly fine movie.
What would you do to find a place to belong? For the Queer BIPOC in the NYC Ballroom community, it meant creating an entire world and choosing your own family to go with it. From that place of struggle and triumph, an entire culture was born and Paris Is Burning was the documentary that captured a few frames of that deep and vibrant world.
Craig, Cullen, and Tara are joined by Cullen's wife, Steph, to talk about puberty in pools, the awkwardness of high school, and female masturbation in Olivia Wilde's directorial debut.
2019 seems like a year of endings. We talk about the end of two decade-long franchises (spoiler alert: one ended a lot better than the other). Craig, Tara, and Cullen each discuss the very different things we'd like to see in the next phase of the MCU -- though we all agree we could use a bit of a break(something our bladders could've also used during the movie).
Cullen brings a comedy classic to the pod, but does it hold up? Listen to find out!
We're rejoined by one of the founding members of the podcast for episode 100 (+1). Dennis brings us this unconventionally conventional western and we break it down.
For our 100th episode we go back 100 years to one of the foundational films of the Expressionist movement. Join us as we deep dive into this journey through the surreal and try to figure out just what is going on in this topsy-turvy classic.
Watch yourself! We breakdown Jordan Peele's latest film "Us" We start with a spoiler-free review before the first break, then we dig in once we return to talk about the rest of the movie and what it all means. Have we cracked the code? You'll have to listen to find out, but be careful--you never know what's lying just beneath the surface!
Higher, Further, Faster, baby! We talk Captain Marvel--what we like, what we didn't like and the possibilities we see for the next phase of the MCU.
It's Oscar season and Black History month, so we'd be remiss if we didn't take a look at Spike Lee's most recent film (and his first nomination for Best Director). We discuss the racist past of America and how Spike uses this particular story to highlight how far and how little we've come since this true story took place. This episode was also recorded before the Oscars, so we speculate whether Lee will be able to snag the votes to win the category with a film about racism that doesn't have white people leaving the theater feeling warm, fuzzy and well-distanced from the pervasive system of white supremacy that exists to this day.
Love, lust, and political intrigue are just a few of the things we discuss as we talk about the classic film Casablanca just in time for Valentine's Day. Join us as we explore this timeless gem (which one of our hosts is just seeing for the first time)!
Oyez oyez! All rise for the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg! Notorious in reputation, mother of scorching dissents, breaker of glass ceilings first of her name and Queen Supreme! Craig, Cullen, and Tara sit down to talk about another documentary--RBG! We're also joined by Tara's husband Jim, a real-life lawyer person, to discuss the impact of Justice Ginsburg's life and work on the landscape of the law in the U.S. court systems.
After reading the reviews for Welcome to Marwen Craig, Cullen, and Tara unanimously decide to do an episode on a movie that we actually want people to watch--the original documentary about Mark Hogancamp that inspired the biopic. We talk about Robert Zemeckis and his uncanny attraction to the Uncanny Valley (Tara breaks down the research pretty well, but it's definitely worth a Google), imagination and memory, and a bunch of other stuff that would be spoilers, so just check it out!
Craig, Cullen and Tara close out 2018 strong with one of the best animated movies and possibly the best Spider-Man movie to-date! We talk convoluted timelines and Tara gives us some professional insight into animation techniques. We also discuss representation in media and the cultural significance of an Afro-Latino hero claiming the spotlight in a comic book movie. Since it's the end of the year we also give our top 5 movies for the year and each host gives their top 5 in a category of their choice. Cullen chooses his favorite podcast episodes of the year, Craig picks his favorite comics, and Tara cheats a little bit by pairing each of her top 2018 movies with a film from 1918!
Merry Christmas motherf***ers! Craig, Cullen, and Tara sit down to talk about this holiday action classic. Is it as good as we remember, or is this a case of mistaken identity? Listen and find out!
Craig and Cullen are joined by our new host Tara and we dive right into the Coen Brothers' latest venture, a Netflix Original movie served up as a series of six vignettes. We talk Western tropes, representation of indigenous peoples and women and try to figure out if this ironic take on the classic genre successfully satirizes the archetypes it portrays or just puts an aesthetically pleasing facade on familiar stereotypes.
After their mother is incarcerated following a breakdown, Deidra and Laney concoct a plan to rob trains to keep a roof over their heads and take care of their little brother, Jet. Craig brings this Netflix Orginal dramedy to the pod. And we bid bon voyage to Dennis as host as he takes some time to work on personal projects.
