The ONLY Podcast about Movies

With Shahir off hanging with Will Smith this week, Matt has assembled an intrepid crew of previous guests (Jamie Walsh, Red Charyszyn, Anastasia) to untangle Brat Pitt's solar-system-sized daddy issues in James Gray's "Ad Astra"? Does this films boldly go where no space metaphor has gone before, or is it simply rehashing tropes used a long time ago in galaxies far far away? As always, feel free to send us your thoughts via laser transmission at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or fire it off even quicker before the surge hits via twitter @onlymoviepod.

Let's play a game: You hide and we'll seek out the hidden depths of directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett's "Ready or Not" Are we ready for this funhouse ride through a wealthy family's strange superstition or... not? You can try to lure us out of hiding by emailing us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or by seeking our opinions 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.

It's been twenty seven years since the losers club defeated Pennywise, but everything floats, which means we're back with special guest (and avid reader) Jamie Walsh to close the book on Andy Muschietti's "It: Chapter 2" Is Pennywise iconic enough to warrant a second trip around the fun house or are we just wading through more grey water trying to find meaning in the deadlights? You can try to climb to the top of Shahir's favorite listeners list by answering this question: Which three film directors make cameo's in this film?

Matt and Shahir are joined on the assembly line by political journalist Zeeshan Aleem who has a few words to say about Michelle and Barack Obama's first Netflix production "American Factory" Does the politics of hope and change still resonate in the age of Trump and globalized economies, or is this all moot as we careen towards an automated hellscape?

You can't start a fire without a spark, so with our special guest (and Simpsons aficionado) Zach Bordon we're lighting a flame under Gurinder Chadha's "Blinded by the Light" Whether you were born in the USA or just born to run, we're sure you'll find our discussion of cynicism vs saccharine entertaining for your long walk home.

Taking a few detours on the road to "The Perfection" we get sidetracked on antiviral resistance, political film making and a quick discussion of the new film-critic-in-chief of the nation. Once we get to discussing this week's film, it's a no holds barred conversation covering cello music, body horror and potentially problematic genre film making. There's a special someone we'd love to email us this week, but if you're not a biochemist in Edinburgh you can still reach out to us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or explain everything we don't know on our Twitter feed 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.

Talofa Lava! It's our first spinoff show, so we're presenting "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw": The TOPAM discussion! We're gonna go as fast as we can to try and furiously catch up with Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) as they duke it out to save the world from a rogue tomato soup virus.

This week's episode is based on the actual lie that Shahir and Matt have different opinions on movies. With that in mind, does Lulu Wang's beautiful film "The Farewell" conjure up deep memories of our respective nai nai's or are we going to stand on opposite shores arguing about what "go back to your country" actually means?

With the release of his 9th and supposedly penultimate film, has Quentin Tarantino earned the right to indulge in some of his favorite fetishes... film, feet and fan-fiction? We're taking a trip back to old Hollywood with washed up TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his driver/stuntman Cliff (Brad Pitt) as they weave their way through the hazy hills of tinsel town, occasionally bumping into their new neighbors Roman Polanski (Rafal Zawierucha) and Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie). If you know anything about history, you know where this might all be heading!
