Trolls World Tour may be responsible for the downfall of cinema distribution as we know it, but is it also a candidate for best film of 2020? Probably not, which is why Matt and Shahir spend this week brushing up on troll kingdoms and discover how to get stuck between pop music and a hard rock. Enchant us with smooth jazz and emails at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or spin the jukebox with us over at Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. We're also excited to present our very own theme music, produced by Glen Cavanagh aka Pyrmds!

Join the hosts as they celebrate a birthday wish to revisit a classic film, diving deep into its moral complexities. They explore the psychological motivations of characters and dissect the intricate relationship between Tom Ripley and Dickie.

Expect humor, banter, and engaging insights on beloved cinema!

It's Matt's birthday so we're putting on a celebratory feast with a few minor rules. Rule 1: There will be cake. Rule 2:The two of us will be locked in our own homes with enough snacks to last 1 hour 11 minutes and 23 seconds. Rule 3: We have to discuss Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia's debut feature "The Platform" Rule 4: The cake is a lie.

Tell me what you cherish most, so that I may take it away... Was it Shahir Daud? That might explain his absence... ;) With the recent release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Matt & returning guest Host Jessica Tucker thought it was the perfect time to not dilly dally or shilly shally and revisit the "best" of the Final Fantasy films. But will this tangled nightmare of disjointed story point be too much for Jess's first foray into the universe of FF7? Or does she help Matt realize that the emotional resonance he has for this story is based on shared psychological trauma much like that of an Ex-Soldier who's past is not his own? Well strap on your Burster Sword and hug your Moogle tight... because your in for one heluva odd and emotional conversation. As always if you'd like to help us find Jenova's head, please email us the crater coordinates at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or send us useful materia over on our twitter @onlymoviepod See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
