MFL - High School Reunions: ROMY & MICHELE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION and THE WORLD’S END Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

In the second part of our little series all about high school movies, we're taking things a bit into the future with a look at some films about high school reunions. With all the memories and expectations about how our lives should be, this is arguably a more stressful and confusing experience than high school itself, and both of these films capture all of that so well. First we get into Michele's choice and her movie namesake, ROMY & MICHELE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION from 1997. It's quirky, it's fun, it's colorful and oh-so 90s, but it still has some pretty profound things to say about life. Then we get into Brian's movie pick from 2013, THE WORLD'S END. The most mature and sometimes most dark film from Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Cornetto Trilogy, THE WORLD'S END may be about aliens with blue ink inside them on the surface, but underneath it is so much more. We hope you enjoy this episode!

MFL - High School: ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL and EASY A Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

School's back in session so we're celebrating with a look at a couple of high school movies! First we talk about Brian's pick, which is a movie that not only loves movies, but also explores the beautiful intimacy of a close friendship, and the unimaginable struggle of going through cancer - ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL from 2015. Then it's on to Michele's choices, a hilarious comedy with a surprisingly dark side all about rumors, reputations, and double standards - it's EASY A from 2010!

MFL - TV for Life: THE SOPRANOS Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

In this special episode we talk one of the greatest television series of all time, The Sopranos. A game changer in every sense, the show redefined television forever. Michele shares her experiences watching the show for the first time and Brian talks about how rewarding it is to rewatch. We cover the characters, favorite seasons, episodes, lines and speculate about what happened to the characters after the final cut to black. So, wake up, get yourself a gun (or rather your podcast device of choice) and join us for an epic conversation.

MFL - Kidventure: THE GOONIES and HEAVYWEIGHTS Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

What would summer be without a little adventure! And sometimes it's even more fun when it's a "kidventure", so we're going back to our childhoods with this episode on a couple of our favorite kid-led adventure stories. The first one we talk about is probably the quintessential movie in this category - Brian's pick is Richard Donner's THE GOONIES from 1985. You know it, you probably love it, and it was most likely a staple of your childhood, too! We try to pinpoint just why this one still works for us after all these years, whether it be personal connections or just those little moments in the film that really make it special. Then Michele introduces Brian to a favorite from her childhood, 1995's HEAVYWEIGHTS! A throwback to the irreverent movies and TV shows for kids from the 90s, this is one that has really only gotten better over the years because of the important message at its core. Plus, it has one of Ben Stiller's best performances ever, AND a great dance sequence from Paul Fieg, so what's not to love?! Happy listening - and please don't put Twinkies on your pizza.

MFL - Horror of 2023 So Far Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

In this episode we discuss every horror movie of 2023 that we've seen so far and discuss what we've thought of them. It's a lively conversation that gets into the highs and lows of this year's horror films (between January and the end of June) with a few hot takes along the way. But please remember that it's all in good fun, and hey, maybe our opinions could change if we watch the films again! As the both of us are really horror kids at heart, we actually haven't talked about THAT much horror on the show thus far so this conversation was a lot of fun for us and we hope you enjoy listening to it!

MFL - Animals Attack: ARACHNOPHOBIA and JAWS Jul 03, 2023

Show notes

(Note: this episode was recorded a few weeks before it was confirmed that Julian Sands had passed away. RIP)

We have some summer fun for this week's episode of Movies for Life where we're talking about a couple of animal attack movies! First, we get into a 90s thrill-omedy that brilliantly walks the line of being legit traumatizing and hilariously fun at the same time - ARACHNOPHOBIA! We have a great time discussing just what makes this film still effective after all these years, the moments that creep us out the most, and the best sidekick character ever, Delbert McLintock. Then we celebrate the 4th of July with the classic film most associated with the holiday, the practically-perfect-in-every-way JAWS! Though we know we can't really say anything about JAWS that hasn't been said before, we do our best by going through some of our favorite scenes and moments with the characters, and even some new thoughts and feelings we had this time around. We hope you all enjoy listening!

MFL - Baseball Movies: A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN and THE BAD NEWS BEARS May 30, 2023

Show notes

Batter up, Movies for Life listeners, because we're talking about a pair of great baseball movies today on the show! Though there are a lot of movies to pick from in this category, we picked the two that have either touched us the most or, in Michele's case, have meant a lot to us our whole lives. So first up is that movie, Michele's choice of Penny Marshall's A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992). This one has a ton of great moments but we try to focus on the core of what makes it a great movie - Tom Hanks' performance, the sister relationship, etc. We also give our answers to the big question about the ending - does Dottie drop the ball on purpose? Then we get into another comedy, one a bit more rough around the edges but still with a lot of heart, and that is THE BAD NEWS BEARS from 1976. This story of an alcoholic Walter Matthau coaching the worst Little League team is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt in its portrayal of relationships and lessons learned while playing the game that is America's past time. Enjoy the episode!

MFL - Coming of Age: STAND BY ME and NOW AND THEN May 16, 2023

Show notes

Do you guys wanna go see a dead body?

Well okay, we don't have one to show you but one of the movies we're talking about today does! That's right, we're jumping on our bikes and going on an adventure together as we tackle two coming of age movies. First up is Brian's choice, the seminal, needs-no-introduction classic STAND BY ME from 1986. Then we talk about basically the STAND BY ME for girls, the (in Michele's opinion) overlooked NOW AND THEN from 1995. Both of these movies are filled with great performance by fantastic child actors, and they give us a chance to reminisce about a bygone era from a lot of our childhoods. We hope you enjoy the discussion!

MFL - BONUS: What We’ve Been Watching May 02, 2023

Show notes

We hit a snag in trying to schedule a time to record our next full episode so we've got a bonus one for you! Join us for a quick discussion of some of the movies we've been catching up on watching over the last month or so - from practically the dawn of cinema, to movies from this year! We hope you enjoy!
