We Paid To See This

Latest Episodes:

Ep 15: The JT LeRoy Story, Brother Nature & White Girl Sep 20, 2016

Show notes

Recorded at midnight - with the assistance of coffee and whiskey (not together, separately) we talk about the crazy documentary 'Author: The JT LeRoy Story' directed by Jeff Feuerzeig - the new Taran Killam comedy 'Brother Nature' and the indie weirdo flick 'White Girl' directed by Elizabeth Wood. It's a wild and varied one sponsored by exhaustion. Enjoy!

Ep 14: Kubo & the Two Strings, Sully & More! Sep 13, 2016

Show notes

Darren got terrible service at a fancy restaurant, Anthony does a pitch perfect imitation of Tom Petty, we review stop motion animation film 'Kubo and the Two Strings' and the Clint Eastwood directed 'Sully' starring Tom Hanks. It's a perfectly acceptable episode. If you're looking for the show with the least qualified and most unprofessional opinions of films, this is it!

Ep 13: Don't Breathe, The Godfather, Werner Herzog & In Order of Disappearance Sep 06, 2016

Show notes

We finally see the number one horror movie of the moment - 'Don't Breathe'. Darren is the last person on earth to finally see the Coppola classic 'The Godfather' (spoiler: he liked it!) and Anthony takes himself very seriously by seeing two arty films. A new tech documentary by Werner Herzod and a Norwegian dark revenge comedy about a 'mild-mannered snowplow driver (Stellan Skarsgård) who seeks revenge for the murder of his son. Plus we discuss Anthony's obsession with the 'sport' of golfing and Darren's refreshing beverage of the day. It's - a podcast?

Ep 12: Gene Wilder, Hell Or High Water, The Princess Bride & Mia Madre Aug 30, 2016

Show notes

We woke up to the sad news of the passing of comedy legend Gene Wilder so we speak in depth about his impact on cinema and us. Anthony saw the Chris Pine / Jeff Bridges modern western 'Hell Or High Water', we both saw an outdoor screening of 'The Princess Bride' and we discuss the indie film 'Mia Madre' starring John Turtorro (who Darren knew nothing about until he wrote this update! Now he gets it!). We also discuss Britney at the VMAs, ancient reality show 'Shear Genius' and DNA testing. We know, it's obscure. That's why you love us.

Ep 11: War Dogs, Sausage Party & More! Aug 23, 2016

Show notes

We talk about the Todd Phillips comedic tinged gun running biopic 'War Dogs' starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller - and the R rated animation flick 'Sausage Party' starring Seth Rogan and a host more. Plus - we visited the Guillermo del Toro exhibition at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (oooh fancy!)

Ep 10: Suicide Squad, Jason Bourne, Cafe Society, Florence Foster Jenkins & Darling Aug 16, 2016

Show notes

We saw a LOT of movies! Suicide Squad, Jason Bourne, Cafe Society, Florence Foster Jenkins & the horror movie, Darling. We say we saw a lot of films - but we did it separately! Anthony was away at the Outside Lands music festival and Darren was losing his Tom Ford glasses in theaters and in this episode they reunite to discuss the films they saw.

Ep 9: Stranger Things Aug 09, 2016

Show notes

An entire episode dedicated to the awesome Netflix Original series 'Stranger Things'. Contains *mild* spoilers so if you haven't seen the entire series - maybe wait to listen to this podcast about the GREATEST TV SHOW TO HAPPEN SINCE TV WAS INVENTED!! Created and Directed by The Duffer Brothers and starring the incredible David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Charlie Heaton, Millie Brown, Natalia Dyer, Matthew Modine, Noah Schnapp, Shannon Purser, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Finn Wolfhard, Joe Keery, Rob Morgan, John Reynolds, and more!

Ep 8: Ghostbusters, Star Trek Beyond, Ab Fab Movie & More! Aug 02, 2016

Show notes

2 weeks in London and we're 4 movies under our belt and a bunch of Star Wars Celebration stories up our pub drenched sleeves! Hear our belated views on the 'Ghostbusters' reboot, The Simon Pegg penned 'Star Trek Beyond', the unnecessary 'Ab-Fab Movie' and dark art film 'The Childhood of a Leader'.

Ep 7: The 'best' movies of 2016 so far! Jul 26, 2016

Show notes

We discuss and debate films on a list of the '20 Best Movies of 2016 So Far' by tasteofcinema dot com and give our own 'expert' (read, 'arrogant') opinions. Will Anthony ever post an image to social media? Will Darren ever let go of how much he hated 'Weinerdog'? Find out!

Ep 6: Strike A Pose Jul 18, 2016

Show notes

An entire episode discussing the documentary 'Strike A Pose' - by film makers Ester Gould and Reijer Zwaan which examines "the lives of the seven young male dancers who joined Madonna on her controversial 1990 "Blonde Ambition" tour. They soon discovered that they were role models in the gay community, though they didn't always feel like it." The film re-connects with these men 25 years later in the aftermath of an experience which changed their lives for better and for worse. It's a surprisingly emotional and inspiring movie that Madonna fans will love but even the uninitiated will connect to due to the significance of what their bravery added to the global conversation regarding HIV and sexuality so many years later. If that's not enough to intrigue you, Darren actually vogued at his senior prom dressed as one of these men in a pin-striped suit - and Anthony was born the day 'Vogue' went to number one!
