This week we finish our Alfred Hitchcock month with the oldest movie we have ever covered, we talk the 39 Steps, the 40th, of course, is acceptance. This is a dusting off of an old, behind the Patreon Paywall episode, so be kind about the fact that my voice has aged terribly.  Make sure to like and subscribe wherever you are getting this!

This week on Myopia Movies,we step onto the ledge of cinematic obsession with Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo — a film that turns love, identity, and acrophobia into an existential spiral. Jimmy Stewart plays a retired detective with a fear of heights and a talent for projection, and Kim Novak plays… well, let's just say she plays a lot. Is this 1958 classic still a mesmerizing masterpiece of psychological suspense, or is it just Hitchcock working out his therapy sessions on-screen? Does the dream logic and slow-burn pacing hold up in an era of TikTok attention spans? Or does it collapse under the weight of its own neuroses? Strap in, stare down from that bell tower, and try not to fall — as we put Vertigo to the test of time. Did it hold up, or were our memories just spinning? How will Vertigo hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Matthew, Alex, Keiko   Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Starring: James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes, Tom Helmore, Henry Jones, Raymond Bailey

This week on Myopia Movies, not even a vicious stomach virus can keep me from releasing an episode on a movie that, appropriately enough, feels like a vicious stomach virus.

Host: Nic Panel: Keiko, Matthew, Nur   Directed by Kurt Wimmer Starring: Milla Jovovich, Cameron Bright, Nick Chinlund, William Fichtner, Sebastien Andrieu, Ida Martin

This week we get alllllll creepy crawly. We watched Arachnophobia, another movie, like almost all movies, that doesn't have nearly enough John Goodman!  “Before Eight-Legged Freaks made spiders scream-worthy and before Jeff Daniels became America's favorite newsroom anchor, there was Arachnophobia—the movie that turned every shoe, vacuum, and rolled-up newspaper into a weapon of survival. This week on Myopia Movies, we crawl back to 1990 to face our fears—literally—with a horror-comedy that dares to ask: what if your quaint small town was overrun by an army of venomous spiders with a taste for blood… and interior design? Is it scary? Is it silly? Is it the Jaws of the jungle gym set? Let's put it to the test as we examine toxic masculinity, arachnid-based paranoia, and John Goodman as a pest control cowboy who deserves his own franchise. So shake out your shoes, check the corners of your room, and join us for Arachnophobia—a movie that proves once and for all: nature is coming for us… one creepy leg at a time.” How will Arachnophobia hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Charlie, Keiko, Matt, Alex   Directed by Frank Marshall Starring: Jeff Daniels, Julian Sands, Harley Jane Kozak, John Goodman  

This week on Myopia Movie, we complete our worst of the previous year month with a movie that no one wanted, and no one liked, we saw Borderlands, a movie that not only lost $114 million of a $145 million budget (excluding advertising), it was delayed for three years and this was still the best they could come up with.  How will Borderlands hold up?

This week on Myopia Movies, we're celebrating a milestone—500 episodes! To honor the journey, we're going back to a movie that came out just as we were starting and talking about the Turtles. This time, though, we are covering the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, produced by Michael Bay, which came out while we were starting. It's awful, it's outrageous, and surprisingly adult for what was a kids' movie. So, for this special episode, we're doing something different: a syncable commentary, just like on the old CineProv Patreon. We will count off the film and tell you when to hit play. Whether you're watching along (it was on Amazon Prime when we recorded) or just listening, we're here to have fun, make jokes, and share in the absurdity.

Welcome to Myopia Movies, where we rewatch the films of our youth to see if they stand the test of time—or if nostalgia was lying to us! This week, we're diving into 1989's Look Who's Talking, the baby-powered comedy that made us all wonder what our infants were really thinking. With John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, and Bruce Willis as the voice of a wisecracking newborn, this movie was a box office hit—but does it still charm in 2024, or is it just baby babble? Strap in your car seats, folks—we're about to find out! Make sure to like and subscribe where ever you are getting this! Please leave us a review and follow us on Bluesky, Reddit, and Facebook!

Welcome to Myopia Movies, the podcast where we revisit the films of our youth to see if they hold up under the lens of nostalgia—or crumble under the weight of time! This week, we're plunging headfirst into the campy chaos of 1984's Ice Pirates. With space herpes, robot pirates, and a desert-dry water crisis, this sci-fi comedy is equal parts swashbuckling adventure and ‘80s absurdity. But does it still have treasure hidden beneath its dated special effects, or has it been lost in the black hole of bad cinema? Strap in, mateys, and let's find out!

Welcome back to Myopia Movies the show where we boldly go—wait, wrong franchise—where we dive headfirst into the galaxy far, far away! And today, we're talking about Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, the movie that taught us three very important lessons: 1) Always check if someone's your dad before you start a fight, 2) Tauntauns may smell bad, but they're lifesavers, and 3) Never kiss your sibling—even if you don't know they're your sibling. That's right! We're breaking down the movie where the good guys lose, the bad guys win, and we're left screaming, ‘LUKE, DON'T DO IT!' louder than Darth Vader in a parenting seminar. So grab your lightsabers, bundle up for Hoth, and let's jump into the movie that made us all question our family trees and our ability to trust small green swamp creatures!” Make sure to like and subscribe where ever you are getting this!
