It’s finally awards season, and we had so much fun with last year’s Oscar series, we decided to come back for another round of a year in Oscars. And after our Spielberg series, watching and loving Jaws, we saw the list of contenders and realized - we needed to do another full-year series. So welcome to 1975, a year of movies from tons of different directors, actors, and screenwriters from a wide range of stories and styles. And we’re kicking it off with a bank heist movie that’s so much more, even though it’s also a giant mess. What’s good in this movie is great, but what’s bad is really sloppy. Still, there’s several performances worth the price of admission here, including the finale to Al Pacino’s masterful run in the early 70’s that showed us what a range he had. Grab your handkerchiefs, we’re talking about Dog Day Afternoon as we kick off our Oscars ‘75 series of Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Violence, espionage, conspiracy, murder, nuclear bombs. We’re closing out our Series: Impossible with a movie that isn’t the best…but it also isn’t the worst. The story for this movie hinges on a boring MacGuffin and a ton of easter eggs that only people who’ve watched the whole franchise closely (aka US) will appreciate. The characters are all spread too thin, the plot’s watered down to nothing, and even the stunts are a little underwhelming compared to the last installment. AND YET. We get to see more fun and quips from Benji and Ethan, more thoughtful development of Ethan and Claire’s relationship, a new character with ties to the first movie - there’s a lot of character development to chew on. And at the end of the day, it’s still a hell of a popcorn movie. We finish our “Series: Impossible” with Mission: Impossible - Fallout this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

At some point you just knew we were going to run across a movie in this series for which we had some differences of opinion. Turns out it’s this 2015 entry, which is both fun as hell and also very derivative of another spy we’ve talked about extensively on this show. But Bond aside, there’s a lot of humor, a lot of intrigue, and a lot of character growth for Benji in this installment. Our villain, though, is pretty lackluster, and this movie just…drags…on. And of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the absolutely bonkers stunt of holding on to dear life to an actual jet airplane as it takes off from a runway. Because, why not, says Tom Cruise.

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Violence, espionage, trauma, gaslighting, panic/anxiety. If M:I III was the forerunner of the Mission: Impossible franchise, then this week’s film proved the franchise was immensely profitable. And it also happens to be a pretty fun movie, with Ethan fulfilling a more senior role as he leads three relatively fresh and raw agents through (checks notes) THE HIGHEST STAKES IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. The threat of nuclear destruction of the entire world hangs in the balance of a not-so-proven team of spies, and those stakes, along with some script development issues, really hinder the believability of this film. Which is frustrating, because this might be the most fun you can have watching a Mission: Impossible movie - the jokes, the banter, the charm are on full display, and it really makes for a great watch. Just - maybe make it a little less complicated, please? We continue our “Series: Impossible” with 2011’s Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

It took 6 years before the next movie in the M:I franchise got released, but it might be the most successful in the franchise. Which is interesting, considering this movie went through absolute development hell, and passed through several writers and directors before finally landing in the hands of a then unproven film talent - J.J. Abrams. It’s not shocking that J.J. made this transition, and in hindsight, it’s also not shocking that there was no doubt he’d deliver with this movie. Still, this movie is firing on all cylinders, with Tom Cruise’s natural charm and intensity blending together for the best Ethan Hunt yet in this series. And then they brought in the magnificently talented Philip Seymour Hoffman, fresh off his Oscar win for Capote, to be the most stone-cold villain in modern action movies, and he absolutely crushes it. Throw in some very personal stakes for Ethan, lots of wild stunts, and a dash of fun jokes, and you get one hell of a ride.

Well, it usually takes a while to get to the worst movie in a series, but with Mission: Impossible, they got it out of the way quickly. We’re not exactly versed in the cinema of John Woo, but if this is your introduction, it’s pretty damning. It’s not so much that Woo made a lackluster movie, there’s plenty going on, but the film has plot holes the size of the canyon Tom Cruise is climbing over at the beginning of the movie, and the characters are flat as a piece of paper. There are some big name actors in this film, and they all are giving the most phoned-in performances we’ve seen in some time, including Cruise. Still, it did its job and made a ton of money. Just - let’s hope we don’t hit this low point again. Series: Impossible continues with 2000’s Mission: Impossible II this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

Tom Cruise is truly a fascinating character, with enough energy and zeal for stunts that could power whole cities, and a ruthless loyalty to whatever he sets his mind to - particularly the Church of Scientology. But we’re not here to talk about the Church today. No, we’re here to talk about the movie franchise that has truly created the unique movie star/producer that is Tom Cruise as we know him today. He was already a movie star when our first film was made, but this was the franchise he decided to jump on, and 25 years later, there’s no signs of stopping. And why would he, after this movie? He’s got the bold vision of Brian de Palma, an incredibly talented crew of screenwriters, and a cast of some of the best actors in the business, some of whom die in the first 20 minutes of the film. Cruise is definitely reserved and nervous here, and why wouldn’t he, seeing as he’d foregone his salary to produce the film. But there’s a reason the franchise still exists, and without this movie, we wouldn’t have as much to talk about.

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of grief, mental illness, war, slavery, racism, white saviorism, racist propaganda. Here we are, ending our journey through Spielberg’s catalog on a film that’s got to be a sure-fire smash. It’s got an impeccable cast, a great screenwriter, and one of the most compelling people in history around which to build a story. Which is precisely why we’re so angry about this movie. Yes, it’s clearly Oscar bait, and yes, any story about Abraham Lincoln is going to read very, very hollow given the growing movement for racial justice in our country. But it’s the self-indulgent, sentimental and somber framing of a story that refuses to find any real humanity in its protagonist that really gets our goat here. We know Steven’s got a hell of an ego, but it’s never more on display than watching this way too self-important film. For a movie about one of the most interesting human case studies in our nation, there’s very little that we can learn about or empathize with the 16th President. He’s just a portrait in a room, and this is just a WIkipedia entry of a movie. We’re wrapping up with Spielberg’s flat biography of Lincoln on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

The early-to-mid 2000’s were not a banner time for filmmaking, across the board. Sure, there’s some diamonds in the rough, but blockbuster films of that 5-6 year period were all dark and gritty, overexposed and filtered with silver or blue lights. For some directors, it could yield great results - David Fincher made an entire career from that scheme. But we’re not talking about Fincher - we’re talking about the master of epic, sweeping, blockbuster shots, Steven Spielberg. And there’s not a lot about this movie that’s good. Steven definitely put in the effort to create a futuristic world for the characters to live in, but at what cost? Nobody is particularly great in this movie, including the master of charm and screen presence, Tom Cruise. And don’t get us started on the lackluster, wandering script with enough holes that you don't need a precog to see through them.

Listener discretion is advised. We weren’t ready for this week’s movie, nor were we disappointed. Spielberg’s first “serious” film packs one hell of a punch, telling a Black story of incredibly complex trauma and survival in a way that’s incredibly difficult to ignore. There’s so many movies in recent years that try to accomplish the balance of emotional impact, stark, disturbing reality, and tenderness - but they all get that balance wrong. Yet this film gets it so, so right, in the best possible way. Spielberg is on top of his game here, fusing his quasi-magical brand of filmmaking with an incredibly powerful and at times brutal story. And it’s never to the detriment or sentimentalizing of Alice Walker’s classic novel. it just draws the audience ever closer, so that when the final moments pay off, you’re weeping with these characters because you too care so much about them.

Spielberg’s second film was intended to be his motion picture debut, a passion project of his since making an adolescent film in the mid-60’s. In many ways, it’s his personal love letter to sci-fi, and there are moment of sublime beauty and awe in this film. You could probably just watch the last 35 minutes of the movie showing the moment where humans make contact with alien life, and leave a movie theater buzzing with joy. Except there’s an hour-and-a-half of movie before it, and that movie is pretty hit or miss. Steven has no lack of vision, it’s fair to say, but if there’s anything to learn from this film, it’s that Spielberg should stay away from writing movies, and that every director needs to take a couple months away from a film before trying to edit. Add to that technical complications completely unforeseen because, well, they were literally remaking the rules of cinema, and you’ve got one heck of a technical achievement that winds up being a bit of a bore.

Continuing our watch of some of the best new horror out, we caught up with this horror farce that’s as much Clue as it is The Hills Have Eyes. And given that this was a fairly low-budget production with little int terms of actual star power, what these filmmakers pulled off is absolutely incredible. There’s some truly haunting and awful moments that are almost immediately followed by gut laughs at jokes that came straight from Fawlty Towers. Add to that a female lead, impeccably played by Samara Weaving, with loads of agency and pure emotional intensity that just jumps off the screen. This movie is a popcorn-chomping ride that also happens to have a lot of moral quandaries and thoughtfulness, and it makes it one of the best and most approachable new horror movies in recent years.

If any of these topics or related topics are harmful to you, please skip ahead to 56:38 seconds to listen to our second review, or hold off listening to this episode until a later date. Please take care of yourselves first. Rarely do we have an opportunity to discuss a movie as recent as this with its source film, which is nearly 90 years old at this point. And in doing so, we may have found one of the best movies of 2020, and definitely one of the best horror movies in recent years. Leigh Whannell is already a bit of a legend in horror circles for his work on Saw, Insidious and the recent techno-body horror-action thriller Upgrade. But his most recent effort is an exercise in restraint and clarity of vision, and in doing so, he’s created a movie more terrifying and anxiety-inducing than anything we’ve seen in quite some time. Meanwhile, its distant cousin is a Hollywood horror classic, though not as well known as the more heralded Dracula and Frankenstein. It suffers from the production limitations of the time, and an almost comic tone that lingers too much to let the real terror shine. But there’s something about the story and Claude Rains that still kept us engaged enough to appreciate its possibilities.

CONTENT WARNING: Murder, voodoo, racism, suicide, serial killers, possessed dolls, child endangerment, childhood trauma, blaming the victim, parents not believing children, violence, technological horror, artificial intelligence, gore. On paper, it’s the most ridiculously laughable premise for a horror film. Mom buys kid a doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer, doll terrorizes family, have to kill doll. It sounds like a movie destined for video trash greatness. Instead, 1988’s Child’s Play is a taut thriller with awesome horror elements, and because of the budget and craft that went into the making of the film, the premise is elevated to a pretty great horror movie. In fact, having seen the recent 2019 reimagining, we’re tempted to say the original might hold up better, even with some of its very tone-deaf and problematic material. Both movies play in some interesting and occasionally frustrating waters, but we have to give credit to the filmmakers for these two movies - they’re bold takes on the horror genre.

The fact that we hadn’t seen the mother of all slasher movies weighed pretty heavy on us, so we finally decided it was time to fix that. And wow were we pleasantly surprised. As was most of the country - in a year where John Carpenter’s The Fog and Kubrick’s reimagining of The Shining were dominating theaters, this tiny film became one of the most profitable blockbusters of all time. That’s not to say it’s great cinema; the dialogue is just awful, the editing is bare bones, and it’s definitely limited by a tiny budget. But its story leaves a mark, especially in the final turn, so much so that critics were willing to take drastic measures to get people not to see this movie.

CONTENT WARNING: Death, haunting, paranormal occurrences, body horror, grave desecration, kidnapping, suggested sexual assault, clowns, skeletons, dead bodies. We’re back from our hiatus and we’re ready to get scary and spooky for Scaretober 2020! This week, we’re kicking things off with a horror film that kinda traumatized children, since it gave Steven Spielberg a one-two “family-friendly” punch at the box office. His credited directing role in E.T. is the stuff of legend, a timeless and timely classic about a wrinkly alien and some very 80’s latchkey kids. He doesn’t receive the same credit for this film, and that’s supposed to be by design, since he hired the man who made The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to go ahead and direct this script for him…or did he? Controversy aside, this is one of the spookiest and fun haunting movies ever made, and will thrill you while having you asking how did this get a ‘PG’ rating??? Forget It, we’re watching the real movie that made kids afraid of clowns - we’re talking about 1982’s Poltergeist on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

Kristin Devine of Roll to Play Podcast Network, Powered by the Players, and Christmastide, OH joins us for the mother of all action antihero movies…and its sequel. It’s no secret that John Carpenter hates sequels; he famously refused to direct Halloween II because he didn’t think it needed to be made. Still, in 1981 he gave us an action/horror movie so incisive, direct, and badass that it begged for more of this character and story. Then-child star Kurt Russell broke his Disney mold and sneered his way into movie stardom, paving the way for a generation of jaded, broodier action heroes. Kurt poured himself into Snake Plissken, and there’s no doubt that he’s the reason a sequel was made. But the charm and scrappiness of the first film gets caught in a terrible, recycled script and some of the worst CGI we’ve seen in a major-studio movie. But there’s something there, something that feels even more prescient given the times we’re living in right now - we could really use some more Snake Plissken right about now.

One of the reasons we opted to do an action movie series was the specific purpose of watching the movies we’re covering today. The hype has been so massive, and ever-present, that we couldn’t ignore it any longer. And these movies did not disappoint. A lot of the talk is about Keanu Reeves, and rightfully so; these movies are the perfect blend of action, silence, and tension that Keanu is able to play so brilliantly. But the supporting cast, which at first glance could look like stuntcasting, is actually masterful. But it’s director Chad Stahelski, after a long career working directly with Keanu on so many of his best action roles, who really shines in these movies. His sense of action and creating scenes that use few special effects are mesmerizing, and he’s proven in these 3 films he’s a master director. We couldn’t just talk about one; we had to talk about them all, and special Keanu expert Andrew Gormley of Cool Breeze Over the Mountains joins us to wrap everything up.

Claudia Elvidge, creator of The Beacon, joins us this week for a discussion of a film renowned for its bonkers quotient. You know, that point where an objectively not great movie suddenly becomes awesome just by the sheer force of will of its cast and crew. This movie is one of the best examples of that phenomenon, bursting with incredibly talented actors across the board being asked to say and do ridiculous things. I mean, your three leads for this film are Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, and John Malkovich, all playing very against type at this point, and all going for broke even though the roles may or may not be right for them. There’s a very, very weird alchemy going on in this movie: its premise is enough to render the entire movie unbelievable, it’s got terrible dialogue and pretty big plotholes, and the director is all over the map on how he’s filming things. But it oddly works - it might be garbage, but it’s really, really fun garbage. We’re watching Con Air on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

AJ Ganaros of Straight Off the Top of My Headlines, Shattered Worlds RPG, and Christmastide, Ohio joins us this week to talk about a truly seminal piece of film. That word gets tossed around a lot for a lot of different movies, but it’s very literally true for this movie, in how it spurred the careers of several Hong Kong martial arts legends and proved that martial arts action films could be profitable for Western audiences. But it’s not just this movie’s influence that makes it so interesting - it’s the singular, visionary actor and mind behind it. Bruce Lee’s name is now iconic and legendary, and if you haven’t ever seen one of his movies, it might not be clear why. He’s effortless, graceful, funny, sexy, and altogether singular in how he both chews scenery while also being the coolest person in every room. And despite some significant flaws and constraints, Bruce Lee makes this movie a classic of cinema, let alone action movies.

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of misogyny, child sexual abuse, homophobia, violence, murder. Lindsey Nelsen of Historical Hotties is joining us this week for a movie that is mostly important because it resurrected Robert Downey, Jr.’s career and possibly got him the role of Iron Man. We shouldn’t pretend that wasn’t one of the reasons this movie became a semi-cult legend after RDJ was restored to movie star status. But this movie has some serious bona fides behind it. Shane Black of Last Action Hero and Lethal Weapon fame takes on the screenplay and directing for this movie, and as far as quippy noirs go, it’s not the worst. Val Kilmer is outstanding in a role that demands coolness and razor-sharp timing, and RDJ is a fairly bumbling, unlikeable character that nevertheless is scruffy and charming enough to keep us engaged. But this movie is very much of its time in 2005, and its pretty forward statements on women, romance, homosexuality, and child sexual abuse is both standard fare for the time and also incredibly awful. If this were a better movie, it would actually investigate those tropes and really uproot them - but this isn’t that movie, and it’s pretty galling that everyone was A-OK with the messaging here.

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE ON YOUR FAVORITE PODCATCHER. CONTENT WARNING: Audio of a gunshot, discussions of violence and murder, police officers. Becca of Magic Folk returns to our show to talk about another truly bonkers movie, and one that is so close to being good. Action comedies were definitely a thing when this movie came out, but this movie amped the satire to its maximum limit, making ridiculously dumb action tropes into high comedy by constantly leaning into them. The performances are mostly great, too, but this movie tanked at the box office, and while it opened against one of the greatest blockbusters ever made, it’s not just unfortunate timing that tanked this movie. A whole team of screenwriters actually hurt, not helped this movie, and especially outside its amazing fantasy world, the movie just trips over itself. It’s no wonder the great John McTiernan really had to rethink making Hollywood movies after this.

Tim Devine and Kent Blue of the Roll to Play Podcast Network are here to talk about Die Hard on a mountain. Or at least, that’s what this lesser-known 90’s action flick has been called in some circles. There’s similarities to that quintessential cat-and-mouse action movie, for sure, but for its time, and for its cast, this movie is surprisingly fresh and fun. There’s nothing new to be found in this week’s movie, and our baddies are more rough sketches than characters, but the performances, particularly from Sylvester Stallone, bring a level of nuance and grounded fear that is particularly refreshing for a 90’s action blockbuster. Match that with some truly epic and stunning visuals and stunts from one of action’s most ambitious directors, Renny Harlin, and you’ve got a movie that deserves to be way more well-known than it is.

We’re back for a summer series packed with all sorts of action, and we’re kicking things off with the movie that broke Jackie Chan in America! And wow is this movie a wild ride. Imagine a Saturday-morning cartoon writing a martial arts film in New York, but then actually adding some severe scenes of violence and intense fighting so that it was supposed to be gritty, and you’re getting close to the vibe of this movie. It’s hard to tell if it’s the terrible script, the pressure to sell a movie to American audiences, or studio tampering with the cut are what makes this movie inscrutable. But DAMN if those fight scenes aren’t faster, more intense, and more acrobatic than most martial arts films. Jackie Chan is a treasure, and even if this isn’t his best starring role, there’s still a lot of fun to be had.

We’re wrapping up Part III of our Bond saga with Kent Blue of theRoll to Play Podcast Network, and we’re talking about what very well could have been Daniel Craig’s final Bond film. I mean, he drives off into the sunset with a woman who truly understands his pain and trauma, and gets the best of a long-time nemesis. What more could we ask for? Well, for one, the fact that Daniel Craig is still James Bond, at least for one more movie. More importantly, though, this movie wants to be too many things at the same time. Is it a throwback to From Russia with Love, or Thunderball? Is our main villain brute strength or dastardly, conniving evil? And why, oh why, did we not give Dave Bautista more screen time, even if he doesn’t have any more lines?

This week, Jamie O’Duibhir of the Anti-Church stream on Twitch joins us for a big Bond fight as Macintosh and Maud are throwing down on which of the Craig Bond films will be crowned the champion. Maud’s already gone on record as saying Casino Royale is the greatest Bond movie ever, or at least in the running. But Macintosh thinks this might be the movie to beat. Why, you ask? Well for one thing, this movie, directed by Great Director Sam Mendes with legend and master cinematographer Roger Deakins, is the most beautifully shot and crafted Bond film to date. Yet it’s also the most quintessentially James Bond film in a long time, with images and character elements that feel like they’ve transported right back to Sean Connery’s vision of the character. Add a healthy dose of Judi Dench, finally taking a major role, along with a badass new Moneypenny, and you’re really cooking with gas in this new era of Bond.

This week, Angel, the creator of Finding Atlas (To Have and to Hold), joins us for a crossover with The Doghouse: A Riverdale Podcast to watch and review the 2001 film version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch before Riverdale comes back this week for their Hedwig musical episode. We’re getting very nervous about how Riverdale is going to handle this, given their track history visiting gratuitous, awful trauma on their queer characters. Because Hedwig is a complicated story about queerness, trauma, love, pain, and redemption, and with a singular vision of its creator, John Cameron Mitchell. It’s an outstanding film that’s both firmly rooted in the time it was made while also being incredibly universal and poignant. In fact, it’s probably the best rock opera ever produced, and we don’t say that lightly.

This week, long-time friend of the pod Kate Harlow of The Space-Agers is here to rein in our expectations with the messy, lesser sequel of Casino Royale that is still seen as a relative low point in the Craig era. Nothing about this movie is particularly bad or patently ridiculous, but the sum of its parts don’t add up to a cohesive Bond movie. Director Marc Forster isn’t known for action, and he wasn’t even a big fan of the franchise. Mix in some extremely problematic casting for our Bond girl, and it’s off to the races with a decent film that never really stood a chance.

We’ve already talked about the travesty of the 1967 screwball comedy disaster, but this - this movie stands alone as a pretty damn good movie without any of the Bond baggage attached. There’s an origin story, breathtaking stunt work, a fully-realized set of characters including a cheeky, murderous Bond and truly real, vulnerable Bond Girl in Vesper.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of misogyny, sexism, violence, psychosexual relationships, abuse and codependence, "Stockholm Syndrome". This week, Kayla of Gates of Orchid and Iris and DM Dalliance joins us to go through a real low point for Bond. This probably isn’t the worst Bond movie we’ve seen, but it’s definitely in line to be the most mediocre Bond film we’ve seen. In fact, this movie has the unfortunate distinction of being the only time in our memories where we can pinpoint the exact line upon which this movie starts to nosedive into being terrible. The writing is just full of plotholes and character gaps, and the directing is completely off-base, but perhaps most disappointing is how tired Brosnan seems - we’d hoped not to see another Bond give up on the franchise, but it’s sure feeling like it in this movie.

This week, our librarian friend James Wilcox joins us for a Bond film that really had no right being as good as it was. I mean, they started shooting a Thanksgiving release in April and had no completed script at that time. The whole set seemed chaotic and frantic, yet somehow, Canadian director Roger Spottiswoode managed to piece together a pretty good Bond flick with only one real problem - THE DIALOGUE IS SO BAD. I mean, it’s a pun every 3 minutes or so with little to no meaningful interaction between characters, and it’s just laughable. And those puns - EDIFICE COMPLEX?!?! Still, we’re decently impressed by this movie, and it’s worth rewatching even if it’s one of the sillier entries in the franchise.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of misogyny and womanizing, sexual harassment. This week, Jen and Micah of I Never Saw That join us for a movie on their timeline and on our radar from 1995! It took 6 years to make the next Bond film after Licence to Kill, but the wait was most definitely worth it. Pierce Brosnan is hooooooottttt and yet also fun, charming, and roguishly dangerous. New writers and a new director are also in the mix and IT SHOWS, from top-notch, pedal-to-the-metal action sequences to a smart but simple plot, and characters that feel honest and real without distracting from what we’re all really here to see. It’s definitely a little cheesy, and a little over the top, but there’s no denying that this movie revived and maybe even truly established Bond as a legacy film franchise.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of racism, violence, specific acts of violence in the film, sex, misogyny. It’s officially season 4 of Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?! but instead of taking a break, we’re already on the clock to finish our James Bond film watch before we see the 20th Bond film, No Time to Die. So we’re kicking things off with an epic double-feature of the Bond that time forgot, the man who could have been Bond as early as 1968. That, of course, is Timothy Dalton, an incredibly charming and dashing Bond with an undercurrent of violence and tension. Watching these two movies now, you’re left wishing Dalton had been on board as early as For Your Eyes Only to take over the mantle from the clearly gassed Roger Moore. By 1987, though, action films had been radically transformed, and even with a good-faith attempt to update their feel, Eon Productions failed to deliver satisfying stories and characters to match a strong vibe Dalton was bringing to the table. Secretly, many think Dalton might be the best Bond ever, but we can’t know because the team surrounding him just didn’t know how to make the leap into a new era.

In a year in which the Academy once again showed its uncanny ability to have no clue how movies work or what makes them good, it nevertheless honored the most outstanding, pointed, and meaningful film this year to a master director and a country that just might have one of the best cinema scenes in the world.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of murder, abusive husbands, abuse of power, abuse against women, violence, hanging, death penalty, true crime. For our final film in the Oscars ‘67 series, we’re tackling a movie that’s both ahead of its time but also not artful enough to make its point in a solid way. Truman Capote’s nonfiction novel invented the true crime genre, and this film brought it, along with neo-realism, to the big screen. But the closer this movie hewed to Capote’s story and the details of a Kansas murder, the more it rode into the uncanny valley. Robert Blake and Scott Wilson are making incredibly unique and interesting acting choices, but it doesn’t feel like they know how they relate to each other. The movie focuses so much on the details, the timeline, the plot, that it just completely misses the emotional weight this story offers.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of war crimes, rape, murder, misogyny, violence toward women, hanging, WWII executions, war, mentions of racism. We don’t watch a lot of war films here at Mac & Maud HQ, but as we worked through 1967, we couldn’t help but watch one of the most iconic action films of all time. It’s hard to enjoy this movie on its own merits, since so many other movies have used this premise since. At the time, though, this film was working on a much deeper and darker level, a re-examination of war and the men who fight it. By making the heroes of this film convicted war criminals, waiting for a hangman’s noose, the comedy and camaraderie of the men is meant to thrill and terrify us.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon STRONG CONTENT WARNING: Racism as a plot point, and the use of two terms in the bio and description of two cast characters. Also, misogyny, discussion of anti-semitism, and abduction of women. We went into this one expecting a fun, whimsical romp of a musical to cleanse the palette after several serious films in a row. Instead, we got a fun, whimsical romp of a musical that just so happened to lean into racism in a truly awful way. About 75% of this movie is great and fun and different than just about any movie musical. But that other 25% - it creates a major plot point out of racial stereotypes that isn't just problematic, it's patently offensive. We love Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore; we think Carol Channing is simply divine; and George Roy Hill's directing is entirely his own. But the story of this movie went so hard for such a terrible plot device, that as much as we enjoyed the main story, it's up in the air as to whether we can recommend this movie.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon STRONG CONTENT WARNING: Racism and discussions of racism in the deep south. Also, violence, murder, misogyny and abuse of women. Last year, the Academy championed a film that explicitly whitewashed Southern racism by centering an amazing black story on his white chauffeur. It’s not the first time they would do this, and it certainly won’t be the last. But the bitter taste that Green Book left has colored most films dealing with racism and the South that we’ve viewed since then. Enter a breath of fresh air this week, with a movie that doesn’t try to hide the evil, pervasive nature of racism and Jim Crow. It’s not perfect, and it pulls its punches strategically, but it’s light years ahead of what Hollywood often accepts as commentary on racism. Perhaps it’s the crackling, tense energy of Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger that elevates the film, but it might just be how honest and raw the movie feels.

Literally, this is now our worst rated film of all time, and it’s not even close. The entire production was a fiasco of epic proportions, and that’s before Rex Harrison’s complete and utter lack of energy in the role. Seriously, there’s nearly two hours of movie before anything of consequence happens in this movie, and even then it’s still pretty awful.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of violence, torture, prisons, labor camps, sadistic wardens, death of a loved one, prayer and Christian iconography. 1967 was a year of change, with the growth in revolutionary ideas, escalation of the war in Vietnam, and the “Summer of Love”. So it’s fitting that one of the real big award contenders that year was a prison chain-gang movie about refusing to conform with societal standards. One that just so happened to have the dashing, blue-eyed, cooler than cool Paul Newman at its helm. And while this movie isn’t perfect - it suffers a bit of Kubrick rule fatigue and sometimes belabors the point - there’s something both charming and haunting at the core of this film. We’re brought to a place where even the most iron-willed person will eventually get broken by authority, even if that person might go out with a giant smirk on his face.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon We’re embarking on our most ambitious series yet for this movie review show - the major Oscar nominees of 1967. The year is loaded with classic movies that truly challenged the idea of what stories Hollywood could tell and what audiences wanted to see. And no movie embodies that more than this week’s entry, a dizzying, unpolished, proto-indie gangster movie about two of Texas’ most notorious bank robbers. This movie has some amazing technical feats and one of the coolest vibes ever. Yet there’s a big lack of substance and story in the writing, and no amount of great supporting acting or wild-paced editing can fix it. The result is a movie that’s truly iconic of its time and hugely influential, but just doesn’t hold up any more.

We’re rounding out 2019 with holiday and Christmas(ish) movies this year, starting with this recent classic that one of us (cough David cough cough) hadn’t already seen. It’s not for lack of trying either - he’s probably seen the first half several times, but just never made the time to watch the whole film. But is that just quintessential Macintosh, or is this movie only for a specific audience? That, of course, being an audience who’s really into the dark moods and imagery of creative force Tim Burton and director Henry Selick. Danny Elfman plants his flag as one of our greatest living composers (and a damn fine singer) in this film, but despite everyone’s best efforts, there’s something a little flat about this canonical holiday movie - we’re just not exactly agreed on what that is.

We finish up our road trip this week with the final film in our little Griswold excursion, and this time, it’s Rusty taking the family on a cross-country adventure. Automatically, though, there’s a shift for the better in this movie, which owes far more to Adam McKay, Judd Apatow, and Todd Philips than Harold Ramis or Chevy Chase. Ed Helms is even more oblivious than Clark ever was, but is also earnest and loving, and feels like a real dad. Christina Applegate gets to play the anti-Ellen Griswold, and is all the funnier being the badass mom we always wanted. And our two kids in this movie are trope-busting, profanity-stacked perfection. The movie’s got its problems, punching down too often, and milking really tough jokes for laughs when we really don’t need them to keep going.

Our movie this week is often thrown out as an absolute low point for Chevy Chase’s career. After a pretty dull run through the late 80’s and a disastrous attempt at a late-night talk show, Chevy clearly made a money grab for the character that made him America’s most oblivious dad. This time, though, the adults take a backseat to the kids, and Rusty and Audrey get major upgrades in writing and, honestly, acting from Mac & Maud faves Ethan Embry and Marisol Nichols. Mostly, though, the movie has a plot, sticks to it, and gives us some decent laughs along the way. And from a franchise like this, that’s about the best you can ask for.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of fatphobia, sexual harassment, sexual harassment of underage teens, sexism, misogyny. This week’s Griswold adventure is a true cable classic, and honestly, it’s earned that title. Amy Heckerling, a director we just cannot escape on this show, manages to punch up the funny and puts Clark and Ellen on equal footing. Which is good, because Beverly D’Angelo is kind of awesome. It’d just be nice if they could make the kids interesting at all, and not the absolute worst. There’s a good, healthy ick factor here, but as far as dumb 80’s comedies go, we’ve seen worse.

We’ve gassed up the Wagon Queen and we’re headed across country with the Griswolds to kick off this holiday season. Diana hadn’t seen any of the Vacation series except for Christmas Vacation, so what better time to revisit these comedy classics? Although we might have spoke too soon - perhaps classic isn’t the right term. This original film requires a lot of suspension of disbelief, mostly on the terms that Clark Griswold is a likeable, goofy dad. Because he’s actually kind of a creep. It doesn’t help that Ellen has little to no agency, and Rusty and Audrey are…fine… There’s still a lot of funny here, but maybe not as much as there used to be.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon STRONG CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and this film’s exploitative portrayal of that disorder. In the course of researching this episode, we learned that this film had a strong negative impact on the DID community, and that it has and could cause trauma for individuals with DID. As well, the film deals with child sexual abuse, kidnapping, violent murder, biological horror, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and cannibalism. Maybe don't watch this movie. On our first watch of the final film in our Shyamalan-tober series, we thought we might have a really great return from M. Night. There’s a compelling and interesting story on the backs of several outstanding performances - James McAvoy gives a master class in characterization while Anya Taylor-Joy takes the movie on her shoulders and keeps everything grounded and real. Yet after a few moments of reflection, it became staggeringly clear that this movie might be his most frustrating and harmful. By centering the entire premise of his movie around a villain struggling with a mental illness, and disregarding the very real trauma that people with such disorder have experienced, Shyamalan has made something worse than just a “bad movie.” He’s made a compelling, good movie with the message that “this mental illness creates monsters.” And in doing so, proved conclusively that he should never write his own scripts.

This year we’re celebrating the Halloween season with a review of the films of the polarizing master (?) of suspense, M. Night Shyamalan. Shyamalan’s always been a bit of a disputed figure in movies, and his track record has been mixed, but is that just critical opinion or is it reality? We’re starting things with a superhero movie that revels more in its mediocrity than its rich concept and film-making. There’s a lot that should work with this movie, but in the end we’re just left scratching our heads, and a little bored.

We’re wrapping up our female directors series with the ur-teen comedy that helped kick off movies that defined a generation of high school teens - except maybe David, who hasn’t seen any of them. We’ve tackled some big movies on that list, but possibly none more formative and important than this 1995 film from Amy Heckerling, the director of another seminal teen comedy, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. While there’s jokes and premises that have aged very poorly, and some hit-and-miss performances, there’s a reason this film has lasted as a new classic. And that reason is Paul Rudd.

harassment. This week, Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?! returns to the relatively safe harbor of mediocre Bond films. ‘Cause let’s be honest, anything would have been an upgrade from the garbage pile we witnessed last week. Roger Moore is really making his own space as Bond, and Christopher Lee really sells Scaramanga as a classic villain of the franchise, third nipple and all. On the other hand, both our Bond ladies are thoroughly one-dimensional, either the butt of jokes or the subject of Bond’s and Scaramanga’s violence. And then there’s the Wonderful World of Disney shooting gallery for Scaramanga…it’s just a bit much. it all evens out to middle this week as we review The Man With the Golden Gun!

We’re in between series right now, and as we reached for our grab bag, our listener Bill reached out and suggested this fairly fantastic John Cusack double feature! We’re here to swoon over the awkward, scruffy stray puppy charm of Lloyd Dobler and rip his evil, misogynist twin Rob Gordon to shreds. It’s fascinating watching these two movies back to back; while Cameron Crowe gives us high school love in its purest, most earnest form, Cusack and his writing partners find no redemption for Rob, a total villain and wretched man who learns nothing in 2 hours and change.

Find us at: iTunes Spotify Patreon We’re back for our 3rd season of movies, and we’re kicking off the year by going through the works of legendary director Stanley Kubrick. For our first entry, David has Diana watch the 1964 Cold War satire Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. This was David’s first foray into a life-long love of Kubrick, but as we quickly learn, Kubrick’s refusal to provide context will be a bit of an issue throughout our series. Peter Sellers is incredible, the airplane sequences truly hold up, but if you’re not read up on the insanity of Cold War America and the nuclear threat, this movie might leave you behind.
