Ep 362: A Hero Feb 13, 2022

Show notes

Happy Superbowl Sunday... and no matter which team you're supporting, in the words of Enrique Iglesias, we can kiss your pain away.

If that's not your thing, check out this discussion of Asghar Farhadi's new film "A Hero" and our examination of choice, consequence and whether film characters should be judged or observed.

Ep 361: The Tragedy of Macbeth Feb 06, 2022

Show notes

By the pricking of our six thumbs, something wicked this way comes. Joining us in the bubbling cauldron of Joel Coen's adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth is none other than the titular Foreign Man in a Foreign Land

How does this expressionistic interpretation of the bard's most violent tragedy rank among others and does Coen, Washington and McDormand have a unique take to make this either necessary or unnecessary?

Ep 360: The Power of the Dog Jan 30, 2022

Show notes

No one man should have all that power, so how about we share it with the dog instead?

We discuss Kiwi filmmaker Jane Campion's adaptation of Thomas Savage's The Power of the Dog and try to figure out just how powerful or stifling living under the shadow of Benedict Cumberbatch's Phil Burbank can be.

Ep 359: The Lost Daughter with Melissa London Hilfers Jan 23, 2022

Show notes

We get lost with Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut "The Lost Daughter" and are lucky to have Melissa London Hilfers join us to help find our way back.

Who is the titular lost daughter and what actually happened at the end? We've got theories!

Counting down our three favorite directorial debuts we run the gamut of first class filmmakers including Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Sam Raimi, Tim Burton, Andrew Niccol, Steven Soderbergh, Darren Aronofsky, Jordan Peele and many others!

We're also fortunate to have special interviews with three new filmmakers who have recently finished their debut films. Listen in as Matthew Saville, Sam Kelly and Michelle Savill tell us about their experiences making movies.

Ep 357: The Matrix Resurrections Jan 09, 2022

Show notes

After plying us with a few red pills, Patrick Willems joins Matt and Shahir to discuss the inner code of The Matrix franchise and where The Matrix Resurrections fits into the landscape of IP management and blockbuster filmmaking. Does Lana Wachowski's return to the Matrix continue the tradition of Legacyquels or steps further into something Shahir calls "playground conclusions"

Choice is obviously an illusion, but sit back with your favorite simulatte and listen in to all three hours of existentialist conversation which traverses the entire quadrilogy. Consider this a spoiler alert.

Ep 356: West Side Story Jan 02, 2022

Show notes

Tonight won't just be any night, because we're playing it cool with one of our favorite returning guests BKRewind who's here to help dissect Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Arthur Laurents West Side Story.

We're taking sides like the Jets and Sharks to figure out whether Spielberg and writer Tony Kushner can radically reform the problematic elements of Robert Wise and Jerome King's original 1961 version or if this film is stuck inbetween era's.

Serenade us via email at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hunt us down on the streets of Twitter for a good ol fashioned rumble.

Ep 355: Spider-Man: No Way Home Dec 26, 2021

Show notes

With Shahir busy swinging in a different part of the Multiverse, Matt gets rescued by none other than Alex the LowSpec Gamer and Dive Wiskus of Standard/Nebula fame to break down in detail all things Spider-Man: No Way Home!

A word of caution though... we get right into spoilers from the first thwippin' minute, so cast your listening spells with caution.

If you want to share your map of the multiverse, please send your dimensional coordinates to onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com. Or if you'd rather assert your villainous God-hood, spin your decree in the direction of @onlymoviepod on twitter.
