The ONLY Podcast about Movies

Lets take a detour down a side street in Tokyo and get knocked out by the incredibly prolific Takashi Miike and his new film "First Love" If they can keep up with this complicated story involving gang wars, stolen drugs and multiple double crosses, Matt and Shahir might just learn a thing or two about love, sword fighting and whether drugs really are bad m'kay.

Step away from the matches and put a smile on your face as we reunite with the wonderful Izzy from BKRewind (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiolZNLiJplmCCzqk9-czQ)to discuss Celine Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Does this “painting procedural” render an emotional landscape worthy of our tears or is this just an intellectual examination of the female gaze?

And that's what we thought of Birds of Prey... no wait, I messed up. Let's wind back to the beginning. Margot Robbie returns as Harley Quinn, narrating unreliably as we jump around in time and try to figure out how to define a superhero movie, what the barometer for cultural change is and whether February is truly a movie dumping ground.

It’s the greatest show on earth. Welcome to the annual Oscars/Annual Review of the reviews of 2019. + the first annual TOPIES where we hand out awards for movies we saw and reviewed.

The Oscars are nearly upon us which means we end out our discussions of all the 2019 Best Picture nominees by zipping through James Mangold's "Ford V Ferrari" Is this is a familiar retread of racing movies or does Mangold's tale of warring automobile manufacturers pass the finish line with a meaningful discussion of art vs commerce? Also, who wins in the battle between Batman and Bourne?

We're running through history as we dissect "1917", war movies and whether Matt's dulcet tones more than make up for missing movie quotes at the top of the episode. Sam Mendes leaves behind 007 for World War 001 and heads up the Oscar nominees with a single take war movie about two men on a mission.

This three way parlay with Brandon Ripley gets a little more exciting as we up the ante and place our bets on the Safdie Brothers' Uncut Gems. Our conversation dives deep on chaos, ascension and the difference between movies and films which naturally warrants more inappropriate jokes than is required.

Christopher Columbus! Our merry pairing is joined by the delightful Izzy from the YouTube Channel “Be Kind Rewind” ( bit.ly/2R8USdF ) so we can delve into the hidden depths of Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" We ask all the big questions including; how many adaptations of Little Women do we actually need? What does Little Women and Watchmen have in common and most importantly, just how little are these women?

It's official, Shahir and Matt are splitting up. To help us through the divorce, we're joined by hilarious returning guest Jessie Jolles who's ready to chime in on which one is the most selfish. Whether you're team Charlie (Adam Driver) or team Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) we hope you're on team TOPAM as we figure how much alimony we owe and who gets to keep the studio. (Spoiler Alert, it's Matt because he hired Laura Dern) Email us what you love about Matt or Shahir 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.

Step up to the litterbox and take a whiff of Tom Hooper's adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's interpretation of T.S. Elliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" We're getting our paws dirty as we stare deep into the abyss of digital fur and sexually charged felines. Is this a purrfect adaptation or are we in a new era of meow-sical mayhem?
