The Movie vs. Movie podcast is a unique and captivating show that brings together two different movies and encourages a lively conversation between them. With hosts Mary Ellen and Nick leading the way, this podcast creates a delightful experience for movie enthusiasts who enjoy analyzing films and drawing connections between them. It's refreshing to listen to their discussions as they delve into various aspects of the movies, providing insightful commentary while maintaining an engaging and entertaining atmosphere.
One of the best aspects of The Movie vs. Movie podcast is the hosts themselves. Mary Ellen's infectious enthusiasm for film shines through her eloquent analysis and genuine love for storytelling. Her deep knowledge about different genres, directors, and actors adds immense value to each episode. Nick, though perhaps not as prominent, brings his own charm to the table with his witty remarks and occasional humor. Together, they create a dynamic duo that keeps listeners engaged throughout every episode.
The format of putting films in conversation with one another is undoubtedly ingenious and sets The Movie vs. Movie podcast apart from other movie podcasts out there. By comparing two different movies in each episode, the hosts give listeners an opportunity to consider both similarities and differences between these films. This approach allows for intriguing discussions about themes, character development, narrative structures, and much more. Whether it's contrasting classic films or contemporary blockbusters, this podcast offers great variety in its movie choices.
However, one of the downsides of The Movie vs. Movie podcast is that occasionally the conversations can become tangential or lack focus. While it's enjoyable to hear the hosts talk about various aspects of films beyond just plot or performances, there are moments when it feels like they stray too far from the main discussion topic or spend excessive time on insignificant details. This can make some episodes feel unnecessarily long or detract from fully exploring the movies at hand.
In conclusion, The Movie vs. Movie podcast is a fantastic addition to any film lover's playlist. Mary Ellen's expertise and Nick's charm create a welcoming atmosphere that draws listeners in from the very beginning. The concept of comparing movies provides a fresh approach to discussing films, opening up opportunities for insightful analysis and engaging conversations. Despite occasional tangents, this podcast is an enjoyable and thought-provoking listen that will leave you eager for the next episode.

A small, marmalade-loving bear. A semi-retired male entertainer. Two protagonists with seemingly nothing in common. Are they connected only by Nick and Mary Ellen's fondness for their respective films? Or, perhaps, is there something more that brings these two icons together? We explore this and many more probing philosophical questions in this episode on Paddington 2 vs. Magic Mike XXL!
Hey everyone! We are taking a little time off for the holiday so no episode this month. See you in January! Be safe and have a healthy holiday.
Hold on to your class war! Mary Ellen and Nick have returned to talk movies. This episode we've got two blood-spattered flicks that would make Marx be like, “See?! I f@*$ing told you!” One is a 2019 comedy horror romp based off of a children's game. The other? A 2011 slasher that asks the question, "Is having a crazy survivalist Dad really a bad thing?” We laughed, Nick screamed, and Mary Ellen cackled. We watched Ready or Not and You're Next!
Nick and Mary Ellen are back! Tune in to find out what movies are next, hear an interview with someone who DIDN'T think Old was flaming garbage, and see whether Nick will reveal an irrational fear.... More episodes coming soon!
Hello gals and ghouls! We are BACK! Maybe. I don't know. But we watched Old and Malignant and had some thoughts. Mainly that one is the greatest movie of all time and the other is a big old pile of shit. Happy Halloween!
Get ready for the OSCARS with a NEW EPISODE on two fantastic movies the Academy so rudely snubbed: Hustlers and The Farewell. Forget the shiny golden boy - who will win the Movie vs. Movie battle???
Episode 2 marks our co-hosts' first movie showdown! Will Nick's pick of Inception as the perfect heist film win out over Mary Ellen's choice of Widows? Or will Steve McQueen's 2018 thriller STEAL Nick's heart? And might there be a special surprise guest appearance by esteemed actor Sir Michael Caine? Listen to find out!
Welcome to the endearingly chaotic first episode of MOVIE vs. MOVIE, a podcast where intrepid friends and co-hosts Nick and Mary Ellen pick a movie prompt and each show up with their best movie example ready to BATTLE. That is not what we're doing in this pilot, though. Instead, we've decided to introduce ourselves by reviewing a charming little indie picture called Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker! Did we like it? Listen to find out!!! (no)
The Academy has done it AGAIN. Snubbed some amazing movies, that is. Fortunately Nick and Mary Ellen are on the case, bringing some much-deserved love to two movies that went unappreciated by our boy Oscar: Hustlers and The Farewell. Nick is fond of J Lo and her determined band of stripper criminals, but Mary Ellen says it's The Farewell that was most overlooked. Who will win in this battle between two phenomenal women directors and their undeniably stellar casts? America wins. That's who.
