Ep 204: Velvet Buzzsaw Mar 03, 2019

Show notes

The first cut is the softest! While Shahir is across infinite ponds, Matt relies on the critical eye of guest co-host, actress Elyse Brandau. Is this star-studded film horror elevated to high art? Or is it just what's laying in the middle of the floor of John Malkovich's studio... a pile of trash. Also we talk initial oscars reactions. Spoiler alert... it sure was a show!

Ep 203: Cold War Feb 24, 2019

Show notes

Oh yo yo, there is a Cold War brewing between Matt and Shahir as they discuss Polish cinema, folk music and the perfect length for Avengers: Endgame. We transcend our peasant heritage and swoon during this story of conflicted love set against the backdrop of post-war Poland and Paris.

Ep 202: Vice Feb 17, 2019

Show notes

What's your Vice? Is it debating Liam Neeson's recent comments about race, or maybe it's trying to dissect Adam Mckay's Oscar nominated expose on the rise of former US Vice President Dick Cheney? Christian Bale might go full method immersing himself into the psyche of the quietest man in the room, but that won't stop us from getting loud and heated as we discuss fourth wall breaking and the absence of convincing conservative cinema.

Ep 201: 2018 Year in Review Feb 10, 2019

Show notes

***Episode Note: There is a conversation around a listener email which may be triggering for some listeners. Please skip to 09:15 to bypass*** Is it February of 2019 already? Guess that means it’s time for our Top 10 films of 2018! When we’re not 2 months late on summarizing the previous year, you can find us debating the trends of the year, which films we missed and how well we think we know each others tastes.

Ep 200: Separating Art from Artists Feb 03, 2019

Show notes

Celebrate our 200th episode as we finally release our long awaited “Separating Art from Artists” episode. Thankfully, we’re not flying solo! We’re joined by serial separators Elizabeth and Kristen from “Your Fave is Problematic” (https://twitter.com/podcastyfip) to discuss our favorite problematic artists and how we can enjoy or disavow their works without going insane. We want to thank all our wonderful listeners for keeping us going over 200 episodes. If you think we're being problematic, you can email opinions and feedback to onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 199: Green Book Jan 27, 2019

Show notes

Is there a "Green Cinematic Universe" where the villain is racism? Following "The Green Mile" and "Green Room", we're turning the pages of Peter Farrelly's "Green Book" to find out if Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen) can help Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) learn about fried chicken and what it means to be black in America. If you're green with envy at our discussion, join in by emailing us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com, or hit us up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 198: Bohemian Rhapsody Jan 20, 2019

Show notes

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? We may be caught in a landslide of movies we have to catch up on from 2018, but will Bryan Singer's(?) Bohemian Rhapsody buckle under pressure from its recent Golden Globe Best Picture win? We're gonna have ourselves a real good time turning this movie inside out in ecstasy, but don't stop us now as the conversation veers into some heavy social commentary about artists, their art and the need to break free from genre cliches. In the end, this is all just radio ga-ga, but if you want to rock us with your hot takes, fire us an email at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. We want it all and we want it now. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 197: If Beale Street Could Talk Jan 13, 2019

Show notes

Join us in our first book club hybrid edition, where Shahir thumbs through James Baldwin's celebrated novel prior to watching Barry Jenkin's adaptation. Does knowledge of the source material sour the film or does Matt's purely cinematic experience of romance and injustice make him swoon and scowl in equal parts? If our podcast could talk, it would probably tell you to email us in at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod.

Ep 196: Bandersnatch Jan 06, 2019

Show notes

Here's your choice: Listen to Matt and Shahir on their own, OR... bring in James Portnow and Jac from Extra Credits to help discuss Netflix's interactive Black Mirror episode, Bandersnatch. That choice is a no-brainer, but deciphering how effective Bandersnatch is at bridging the divide between gaming and cinema is going to take us down some intriguing rabbit holes, branching out infinitely and create more than one possible reality. You can choose to email us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or tweet directly to www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. Choose wisely.

Ep 195: The Favourite Dec 30, 2018

Show notes

Happy New Years! The end of the year might just be our FAVOURITE part of 2018. To round out this trip around the sun, we're gonna figure out which one of us counts Yorgos Lanthimos as their FAVOURITE filmmakers. We step in and try to mansplain this 18th century female power struggle between Queen Anne (Olivia Colman), her trusted advisor Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz) and potential usurper Abigail (Emma Stone). We'll also have a little diversion into revisionist history and whether rabbits make good pets. Send us a carrot via email at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. Here's to an amazing 2019!
