Ep 94: Life Mar 26, 2017

Show notes

Life... uh... finds a way... into Matt's apartment! This week as we discuss Daniel Espinosa's new film, we're hitting the big issues! Such as the pitfalls of stupid people with Ph D.'s, some potential whitewashing in Sony's Extra-terrestrial universe, and weather or not this film is a Venom prequel in disguise?!?. You know... all the regular stuff when you sit down with a friend to talk about Life. :) Drop us a line at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com to tell us your thoughts, request a film, or explain how coolant works!

Ep 93: Beauty and the Beast Mar 20, 2017

Show notes

This week we go full beast-mode as we review Disney's latest live action adaptation. Sadly Shahir was chased away by CGI wolves, so Matt is joined by special guest Co-Host Jessica Tucker (@mothatucka) who's first cinematic experience was the animated classic of the same name. Does this version live up to the hype? Will Matt side with team Gaston? And what esoteric conundrum lay within Jess's 7 pages of highly detailed notes?!? Be our guest and find out!

Ep 92: "Gettin' Gud" at Video Game Movies Round 3 (PAX 2017) Mar 17, 2017

Show notes

Our trilogy of live shows comes to a glorious end in the freezing tundra that is Boston Mass at PAX East 2017! In this third and final edition of our "critically acclaimed" panel, we touch on what game properties would make the best films, steps filmmakers can take in the future to strive for the first Oscar nominated video game movie, and start things off with a really great M. Bison quote! Sadly Shahir couldn't be in attendance, so we get by with a little help from our friends Red Charyszyn (Sikelia Productions), James Portnow (Extra Credits) and Luke Peterschmidt (Fun to 11). Also as this was a live show, please keep in mind our audio quality is a little worse for wear. Thank you kindly :) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ep 91: Logan Mar 12, 2017

Show notes

It's a swan song for Weapon X as we head back into the superhero genre for "Logan". We're joined by Black Men Can't Jump In Hollywood's Jerah Milligan (@jerahmilligan), who stops by the studio to talk about how the 10th film in the X-Men franchise quietly does something that Shahir's been asking for since we started this podcast. Listen in to find out what that is! NOTE: We dive into spoilers very early, so please see the film first on this one!

Ep 90: Get Out Mar 06, 2017

Show notes

Shahir invites Matt over to his apartment for some hypnotizing shenanigans as the guys try to figure out what a micro-aggression, how to deflect subtle racism and whether Jordan Peele should direct a Marvel movie (the correct answer is no!). Check out this week's episode where we review Mr. Peele's directorial debut "Get Out" As always, please leave us feedback at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on twitter @onlymoviepod.

Ep 89: The Handmaiden Feb 27, 2017

Show notes

With all the confusion both at the Oscars and during Matt (and the TOPAM studio's) move... we opted out of the craziness for the week to bring you a review of a film that you may not have heard of this awards season... but you really should have! Joined again by the illustrious Esther Park, we dig deep into The Handmaiden, culture clashing, and sex with cephalopods!

Ep 88: The Lego Batman Movie Feb 20, 2017

Show notes

Riddle me this.... which is the best of the three Batman movies we've reviewed on the show so far? Hint, it's not Batman V Superman. The master builders are back at it again with returning guest Jessica Tucker (@MothaTucka) and this time they're trying to figure out the magic formula to the Lego Cinematic Universe.

Ep 87: xXX - The Return of Xander Cage Feb 13, 2017

Show notes

After a steady diet of 'high art', we decided to try a chicken Mcnugget of a movie "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage". Joined by senior producer Esther Park, we try to figure out if Vin Diesel in sleeveless shirts has societal value and where Donnie Yen hides his fountain of youth.

Ep 86: The Salesman Feb 06, 2017

Show notes

PSA: We recommend you listening to this episode even if you haven't seen Asghar Fahardi's "The Salesman". The first half is a really fascinating discussion about the recent executive order which would ban Fahardi from attending this years Oscar ceremony. -- Finally, Shahir gets to introduce Matt to his favorite working writer/director. But can the strength of Fahardi's work pierce Matt's cold dead heart? How many Marvel/DC and Hasbro references can the guys cram into the episode while discussing politics, Iran, national cinema and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman? We're also joined remotely by Iranian cinema expert (out of the 3 of us!) Rya Backer (@ryabacker), who fills us in on all the little details we might have missed! Give us your thoughts on how to best respond to the executive action at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or on twitter @onlymoviepod. If you'd like to support the show, please leave us an iTunes review and tell your friends!

EP 85: American Honey Jan 30, 2017

Show notes

By request, we try out some American Honey with cinematographer and friend of the show Brandon Ripley (IG @ripleyb). Taking a trip through a rarely seen America with a gang of magazine subscription selling teenagers, Matt and Shahir hit the road in 4:3 and learn what Darth Vadar really looks like under that mask! American Honey is available now on VOD, so check it out then listen in! If you have a request, feedback or just wanna say hi, drop us a line at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or on Twitter @onlymoviepod.
