This long-form conversational podcast dives deep into both film and the psyches of two film-obsessed friends. Join Adam and Nathan through movie deconstructions, lists, histories, or just sharing their views on what is good and what is not. Welcome to Line of Sight.
Adam Coates & Nathan Makarenko
Adams returns from Mexico, talk a little Mission Impossible, Jaws, The Brutalist, Cast Away, The Three Musketeers, Venom The Last Dance, Out of Sight, From Dusk till Dawn, Michael Clayton, Case Bonita Mi Amor, The Road to El Dorado.
It's a Wyatt Earp double (maybe triple) feature. With the passing of Val Kilmer we though it was time we talked about one of the most quotable Westerns ever, and its lesser counterpart that came out less than a year later.
*You'll see why at the end of the movie**We're releasing this ahead of 260 because relevancy.Everyone is loving Marvel's "return to form" with Thunderbolts, or are they? One or both of us may not think it's all it's cracked to be. Are critic and user reviews lying about this latest blockbuster, or have they been starved for some semblance of the former glory of the MCU that they will accept almost anything at this point?
Happy May the 4th be with you, to celebrate we dive deep into the objectively worse Star Wars film to date. Also Nathan has a Disney World story.
Not the shoes, the 1992 hidden gem that kind of snuck by, starring Robert Redford, Ben Kingsley, Dan Aykroyd, Sydney Poitier, May MacDonnell, and River Phoenix, just to name a few. Why haven't you seen it yet? And if you have, why haven't you listened to the episode yet?
Time travel, Michael Chrichton, Richard Donner, Paul Walker, early 2000s. What could go wrong?
Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones peak 90's. He didn't kill his wife.
These the the WILDEST, FUNNIEST, and MOST SURPRISING titles of beloved films that have been translated into other languages. You won't believe #6!
Two almost-40-year-old straight white men discuss what the greatest movies of all time are, and it's about what you'd expect. We each come up with our own top 10 lists and then decide on a final, master, official Line of Sight Top 10 Greates Films (that we've seen) of All Time list.Donuts are also discussed, again.Next episode will be Star Wars: The Force Awakens, despite what is said at the end of this episode.
A epic movie calls for epic podcast run time. We talk Mel Gibson's 30 year old now classic Braveheart.Number 5 on Nathan's top 100Braveheart talk starts approx 25min into episode.
Are we scratching your surface? We tackle this forgotten 'classic',
For the big 250th episode it is also Adam's wife Brenda's birthday, and her birthday wish is to talk about one of her favourites Anne of Green Gables. It's a Canadian classic and everyone should see it, and then listen to us talk about it for almost 3 hours. That's almost 6 hours of Anne content, and we barely get into the sequels!
It is absolutely crucial that we talk about 1997's masterpiece Anaconda. It's basically a prequel to Marry Me (2022).
Another trilogy complete in the Star Wars saga. Intro 0:00 Rotten Tomatoes Star Wars Game 23:00 Main Movie Discussion 1:00
We didn't see everything last year, but these are our favourite 2024 releases.
Before we get to the Top 10 of 2024 we like to discuss the ten movies we watched for the first time in 2024 that were released in previous years. It's nice to look back and reflect on all we accomplished in 2024, and films we watched are part of those accomplishments. These are the best, our favourite, most likely to be rewatched, and worthy to be mentioned.
From the imagination of director Ernie Barbarash we talk Too Close For Christmas. The third film collaboration we have done on the show with generational talents Jessica Lowndes and Chad Michael Murray. Also we talk cheese and crackers.
"Happy Birthday, baby Jesus. Sorry your party's so lame." -Michael Scott The movie's actually pretty good though.
As we enter into the holiday season we kick things off by recognizing our Hebrew brethren with the Hanukah classic An American Tail and it's superior (depending on whose house you grew up in) sequel, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. Aside from the classic "Somewhere Out There" do either of these still hold up?
For Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in America we take a look at Sam Mendes' First World War cinematic achievement 1917.
After 238 episodes we are finally talking about Star Wars. THE Star War. The "OG" as the kids say. Steve joins us as we talk theatrical releases, special editions, and Disney+ abominations.
We are now two thirds of the way through the Jessica Lowndes/Chad Michael Murray trilogy. We watched Angel Falls Christmas last year, but before we get to another Christmas movie we make a stop in the small town of Forrest Ridge for An Autumn Romance. This duo just keeps getting better and better.
If we were to make a list of the best movies of all time, and we might, this would definitely be on it. We discuss the timeless classic for all ages The Wizard of Oz from 1939.
We jump right to Ghostbusters 2, does this movie deserve the popular hate or in Adams case love it receives?
Have we talked about Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning Gladitor before? Certainly. It's come up in our Top 100, The Pirates of the Caribbean episode, and probably some other places, but not at length, as it deserves. And since the sequel (with the most appropriate use of Roman numerals) is coming out next month, it was time we did so. Strength and Honour. Shadows and Dust.
We again dive deep into SUBtember with Kathryn Bigelow 2002's K:19 Widowmaker. What makes it a widow maker and why did it chose a life of widow making? These questions and more are answered in this weeks episode of your favourite podcast about movies hosted by guys named Adam and Nathan.
We finally wrap up the prequel trilogy with Steve, talking Revenge of the Sith. Will we be swayed to the dark side and be led to believe this is actually the best? Listen to find out.
More from our discussion on Deadpool and Wolverine. If you've seen it or don't mind spoilers then have a listen. If you're on the side of the fence that thinks this is the end of cinema, then have a listen, you might learn something.

Have we reached the bottom of the barrel yet? Some say we have, some would say we've much farther down to go. Either way, here we are making our way through the Star Wars prequels and we're half way done. Join us with special guest Steve as we discuss what it is to be human, and if we do or don't like sand.
With the re-themeing of Splash Mountain into Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World we thought to tackle both rides film inspirations.

Despite what my intro will tell you, this is in fact episode 229. We are reviewing the beloved classic Gone with the Wind from 1939. We felt we needed to balance our diet of junk watches with a hearty film we can really sink our teeth into. If you haven't seen it yet we both recommend it, or you could listen to us talk about it for half the runtime of the actual movie, a Line of Sight first! We usually talk about a movie for longer than the runtime. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lineofsight/message

And who knows, this might not even be the last time we talk about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lineofsight/message

We talk Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated DUNE Part 2. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lineofsight/message
We get our music on with two very different, but also kind of the same, music artist "movies." Since we loved JLo's Shotgun Wedding last year, why not give "This Is Me... Now" a chance? And having put ourselves through that insanity it just felt right to follow up with the also sometimes insane Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lineofsight/message
