Let Me Introduce You

Let Me Introduce You is a podcast hosted by Graham Veth, Katie Kubert and Ashley Krohn. We’ve known each other nearly 20 years (starting back in film school) and have stayed close friends ever since.

We know…everything about one another and have far, far too much in common. Except, our taste in movies. Seriously, there is very little overlap….

Each week, one of us will introduce the others to one of our favorites. The catch is that one of us has to be seeing it for the first time.

From Troop Beverly Hills to Hellraiser; Clue to Nightmare on Elm Street; Barbarella to Step Up 2: The Streets, no movie is off the table (even if we find it’s not our cup of tea…).

New episodes drop every Thursday, let us introduce you to Let Me Introduce You! Make sure to follow us on Instagram @letmeintroyoupod and on Twitter @letmeintroyou

S2E15 - Waterworld Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

Water. It is essential for life. But it is also essential for CINEMATIC CHAOS in the Kevin Costner H20 vehicle, the 1995 KING OF ALL FLOPS, Waterworld. Ashley introduces your favorite podcasters to the mother of all aquatic calamities...starring the world's most notorious gill-ed mut-o, Kevin Costner as The Mariner. A man who is truly an island, he sails the oceans of Earth -- a planet long since submerged when its polar ice caps melted -- in search of...more isolation. Until he meets a woman (Jeanne Tripplehorn...hello, The Firm or Basic Instinct) and her ward (Napoleon Dynamite's own Tina Majorino), the latter of which has a tattoo on her back rumored to be the map to DRY LAND. In hot pursuit (and we mean that in the literal sense) and fueled by cigarettes (also in the literal sense) is the film's savior...or rather, lead villain, Dennis Hopper (listen, if you don't know who Dennis Hopper is that's your problem) who runs his team of Smokers with three goals in mind...get the child, find dry land, and pillage!! This film is too much and not enough all at once, and with only ONE MONSTER in the entire movie, Katie, Graham and Ashley are left...well, quite dry. Join us for the final episode in our IT'S A DISASTER theme, as well as our season ender, where we host the first LET ME INTRODUCE YOU AWARDS! We're bringing down the house (and literally everything else, because duh, it's all under water) with this one...so come hear us talk about coffee enemas, because NOTHING IS FREE IN WATERWORLD.

S2E14 - Hudson Hawk Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

OK, so you're a film executive in 1991 trying to make a blockbuster hit. You have your bankable action star (Bruce Willis in the title role), your beautiful global locations (Rome! New York! Budapest!), your dastardly villain duo (Richard E. Grant and Sandra Bernhard), wild sets and massive explosions. But then you keep adding...music that makes no sense, actors who just dont...act (or do the opposite and OVERact), slapstick "jokes", weird sound effects, a conspiracy theory plot with so many twists and turns and double crosses it stops making sense, the FBI, the CIA, the Vatican (please, why are you still adding things), a love affair with a nun, AN ART HEIST, LEONARDO DAVINCI, AND A PLAN TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD BY INSTILLING FINANCIAL CHAOS? Seriously, how much do you think that would cost? Spoiler: a lot. Do you think it would be a successful film? Spoiler: Nope. Join your favorite podcasters as we dive into the Bruce Willis (ego)driven film Hudson Hawk, the third installment of our IT'S A DISASTER! Theme. We also cast ourselves as pivotal MTV-IA subversive, candybar-themed secret agents and talk a lot about Girl Scout cookies. It's either this, or hey, you could be swingin' on a star...

S2E13 - Cats Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

Meow meow meow, meow, meow...meow? Meow, meow! (I should really just write the whole summary that way)...but no really, folks, we're mewling about one of the biggest box office CAT-astrophes in recent MEMORY for the second episode in our IT'S A DISASTER! theme...have you guessed what it is yet? Rebel Wilson eating a bunch of human Rockette-esque cockroaches and then unzipping her own cat skin? James Corden rolling around in garbage while wearing spats? Idris Elba performing magic tricks and sending anyone who gets in his way to a barge? Taylor Swift drugging everyone? Nonsense words and names and songs with no rhyme (literally) or reason? Some of the worst digital SFX in history? DO THESE SOUND LIKE NORMAL THINGS? Well, they are at least viewed that way in the 2019 musical, Cats. Join Graham as he introduces this CAT-aclysmic failure to the gang, espouses on his love of Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat, and makes Katie and Ashley come up with their own Jellicle Cat names. There's a lot to unpack here...so pull up a saucer of milk and join us.

S2E12 - The House of Yes (with Ryan Davis) Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

Some films are big bets for studios...they put a lot of money, time and talent behind them, and then SOMETHING goes wrong and the film just FAILS. No rhyme or reason. THAT IS NOT THE CASE for the first film in our IT'S A DISASTER theme -- 1997's Sundance black comedy darling, The House of Yes. This BONKERS film has very. clear. reasons. for not succeeding -- even with Miramax and the great Aaron Spelling behind it. Starring Parker Posey, Josh Hamilton, Freddie Prinze Jr., and the unofficial mascot of our podcast, Ms. Tori Spelling, this film is very much a play on screen -- and our wonderful special guest Ryan Davis (an actual Yale School of Drama Graduate!) introduces Graham and Katie to this taboo box-office flop, which holds a special place in his heart as a pinnacle of "women on the edge" films. You'll be shocked and yet CANNOT LOOK AWAY from the punchy, pithy, ping-pong dialogue and subversive comedic cues...so join us as we dive into this Jackie Kennedy-themed (sort of?) hurricane!

S2311 - This Is Spinal Tap Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

Some movies live forever in our brains as absolute sheer genius -- a seminal work of comedic timing, improv, and chemistry. But when you've already seen The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, where do you go from there? You go one louder. You need that extra push over the cliff to eleven. You need This Is Spinal Tap. The 1984 cult classic Rockumentary lives in infamy -- created by the very stars who bring it to life, Rob Reiner (making is directorial debut!), Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest are responsible for this metal masterpiece. Join your favorite podcasters as we bring our LET'S GET MUSICAL theme to a close, and also get a bit nutty ourselves (don't believe us? Listen as Graham sings the entire opening theme of Head of the Class...yes, you're right, it is just instrumental). This is a beautiful, beautiful episode...and we've called it "Lick My Love Pump." Enjoy.

S2E10 - Little Shop of Horrors (1986) Mar 11, 2021

Show notes

In the world of movies, there are some lines that are baked into the cultural vernacular -- FEED ME, SEYMOUR! is definitely one of them. So it's with great pride and pleasure and JOY that Katie introduces the third movie in our Let's Get MUSICAL theme, the utterly charming 1986 Little Shop of Horrors. This has all the pod's favorite attributes -- incredible production, stunning sets, the peak of comedic talent...listen to this: RICK MORANIS, STEVE MARTIN, JOHN CANDY, BILL MURRAY, CHRISTOPHER GUEST, LEVI STUBBS, TISHA CAMPBELL, ELLEN GREENE...all in one movie. You wanna watch something truly delightful? Put this movie on and then listen to our podcast and BE HAPPY FOR A HOT MINUTE. Graham, Katie and Ashley also chat about puppets (obv.), Broadway musicals turned into movies, and a mini-Let Me Introduce you, so what are you waiting for?! IT'S SUPPERTIME!

S2E9 - Xanadu Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

1980 was a time of joy. It was a time of feathered hair, glittering light shows, disco, roller skating, Olivia Newton-John, bizarro animation, a million costume changes, Electric Light Orchestra, stories that make very little sense and of course, it was a time of Xanadu. Graham introduces Katie and Ashley to the stunning fever-dream that is this movie for our second installment of LET'S GET MUSICAL -- starring Olivia Netwon-John, Gene Kelly, Michael Beck (from Warriors fame) in a plot that barely clocks in as competent, but with a soundtrack from ELO that will go down in the annals of history. The gang also talks a bit about their first Broadway shows, and we have a special Mini-Let-Me-Introduce-You this week, too! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?! Worried this might be a "Xana-DON'T?" You're wrong...it's a XANA-DU!!

S2E8 - Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (with The Third Men Podcast) Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

We promised to bring the thunder in Season 2...and here it COMES!! We're proud to host the definitive audio experts on Jack White to introduce our new theme -- LET'S GET MUSICAL -- movies all about music. And they've decided to introduce Graham and Ashley to the 2007 Rock-u-Mock-u-Mentary, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. With Jack White in a guest role as Elvis Presley, the story follows southern boy Dewey Cox, played by the insanely talented John C. Reilly, on his path to rock and roll stardom through the 50s, 60s, 70s to present day in this Walk the Line spoof. John C. Reilly also has released several recordings (bluegrass and otherwise) on Jack White's record label and performed with Jack live throughout the years, and luckily the Third Men Podcast hosts Paul and James Kaminiski are here to educate us on all things rock 'n' roll and dive into super deep music nerdery. So grab your machete and get ready, because you're definitely gonna want a part of this shit...

S2E7 - The Notebook Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

Soft, orange sunsets...cool river breeze...candlelight, teenage romance that spans generations, and a forbidden love that bridges social systems, this movie has all your Nicholas Sparks romance tropes AND MORE. Ashley takes our L-O-V-E theme to it's ultimate pinnacle, introducing Katie to the 2004 romantic drama, The Notebook. Starring Ryan Gosling (scoring a 2 out of 3 for dreaminess) and Rachel McAdams (3 out of 3) as two star-crossed lovers, we follow their story through the generations...you want romance? HERE IT IS. OH GOD, IT'S EVERYWHERE.

S2E6 - Dead Alive (aka Braindead) Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

A young New Zealand woman meets a charmingly befuddled young bachelor and she is given a sign that they are destined to be together. A romance quickly blooms between the two lovers, and amidst pain, heartbreak and adversity, they overcome all obstacles in their way IN THIS COMPLETE GOREFEST. In the second episode of our L-O-V-E theme, Katie introduces Graham and Ashley to the 1992 Peter Jackson film, Dead Alive (aka Braindead). Notorious for being the bloodiest film ever made (measured in liters of blood used in production) this is one of the most over-the-top, ridiculously insane movies we have ever watched on the pod. It's the third film from Peter Jackson, who co-wrote it with Fran Walsh and Stephen Sinclair (the former who went on to share an Oscar with Peter for Lord of the Rings: Return of the King)...get ready for some of the grossest (and STUNNING) special effects, animatronics and puppet work we've ever seen. IT'S TIME TO KICK ASS FOR THE LORD in this Katie-style romance film...
