Movie Daters

Episode one of our Corona Tapes is a newer release starring Daniel Radcliffe: Guns Akimbo. Available to stream on Amazon Prime and released in February 2020. Listen as Sarah does her best Santa impression and Payton flexes his potty mouth starting with the "c" word and ending with the "m" word. Gross. 

Well well well. Look who is back at the movie podcasting game. Listen to Payton and Sarah explain where they've been all this time, their current quarantine movie pics and shout out to the rando that gave us a one star review on Apple Podcasts. I mean, come on!?

This week we did what everyone else did, saw the epic end to the Infinity Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Avengers: Endgame. We go in depth on the characters pre-Endgame prior to seeing the movie then really dive in deep into the plot (and plot holes) in the spoiler section of the podcast. Listen as Payton does his best rendition of some of the famous Avengers' score and Sarah just tries to keep up with everyones names.

This week we review the new Netflix movie The Highwaymen starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson as two former Texas Rangers tasked with tracking down Bonnie and Clyde. Listen as Payton yet again shows off his history-buff side and Sarah defends her love of true crime.

Matthew McConaughey's portrayal of Moondog in 'The Beach Bum' took our screens this week and left us on opposing sides. This movie is packed with tons of stars - Snoop Dogg, Isla Fisher, Zac Efron, Martin Lawrence and THE Jimmy Buffett. It's a wild ride, something Payton calls "an amazing character study" and Sarah describes as "the memoir of a narcissist". 

This week we see Jordan Peele's sophomoric directorial effort with 'Us', a horror thriller that is more than it may seem. Listen as Payton and Sarah discuss where they feel the movie fell flat and what performances went above and beyond (spoiler alert: Lupita Nyong'o crushed it).    Follow us on instagram: @moviedaters

We are back from our football/Bachelor-induced hiatus! And we went straight in for the kill with the new Marvel studio's blockbuster, Captain Marvel. In true amateur fashion, we had some technical difficulties up front but we made it through to give you a podcast filled with some sing-alongs and lots of Avengers: End Game speculation. 

We doubled up on the UK-themed movies this week with Mary Queen of Scots! Another star-studded movie (featuring Joe Alwyn, again!) with plenty Oscar-buzz. Listen as Payton and Sarah do their best to deliver a drunk history-style review of this historic classic.

This week we get into the Christmas spirit and review Netflix's new holiday special The Christmas Chronicles starring Kurt Russell.

We're finally caught up with our reviews! This week we watched Outlaw King starring the beautiful, blue-eyed, stone-faced, Chris Pine. Listen as Payton geeks out hard to this movie's history lesson and Sarah just wants a recap of Braveheart, okay? Outlaw King is now available on Netflix - give it a watch!

Here is our review of Suspiria! From the director of Call Me by Your Name (one of our 2017 favorites) and with an all female cast, what's not to love? Well, let us list the ways...

We are officially back with our review of A Star is Born. Listen as Payton gives quick one-liner reviews for the big movies we missed in our absense and Sarah discusses her beef with Lady Gaga. This is what we consider the beginning of "film" season, with many movies eyeing Oscar nominations, and we are really excited to be bringing more episodes for you to listen to!

This week we review Nicholas Cage's new film, Mandy, which is a unique combination of a 1980's slasher film fueled with drugs and Mad Max-esque brutality. Listen as Payton tries to squash Sarah's overall theory about the plot and as they both try to quote all of Nicholas Cage's epic one-liners from the movie. 

We are back and so is CIA Analyst, Jack Ryan. In this episode we review the first two episodes of Amazon's new television series starring John (not Jim) Krasinski.

Listen as Sarah makes a sudden inspirational speech and Payton makes a pretty great Talking Heads reference. 

Here is our review of the new art house thriller, You Were Never Really Here, starring Joaquin Phoenix and written/directed by Lynne Ramsay. Listen as we continue to solidify the term 'meta' as a must-use phrase for every podcast episode.

Here is our full review of Avengers: Infinity War!
