The ONLY Podcast about Movies

It's week three of our intrepid New Zealander's absence and Matt was starting to feel like everything wasn't awesome, so he enlisted his oldest film reviewing friend Stephen Buja from the Oscar Watch Podcast to come take part in the dissection of The Lego Movie 2! Did this films build impress us with its constructive contributions to the discourse? Or did we leave feeling like Maya Rudolph's foot?

Higher further faster baby!! With Shahir still away visiting his home planet, Matt enlists film director, comic book writer, and old MTV friend Carly Usdin to take the co-pilot seat for this discussion on the 21st MCU film. Does Brie Larson's Carol Danvers shine in this extraterrestrial 90's nostalgia not-so-origin story? Or was this just the same ho-hum Kree-Skrull war, just with 100% more cats? Join us this week for a special early episode to find out.

The first cut is the softest! While Shahir is across infinite ponds, Matt relies on the critical eye of guest co-host, actress Elyse Brandau. Is this star-studded film horror elevated to high art? Or is it just what's laying in the middle of the floor of John Malkovich's studio... a pile of trash. Also we talk initial oscars reactions. Spoiler alert... it sure was a show!

Oh yo yo, there is a Cold War brewing between Matt and Shahir as they discuss Polish cinema, folk music and the perfect length for Avengers: Endgame. We transcend our peasant heritage and swoon during this story of conflicted love set against the backdrop of post-war Poland and Paris.

What's your Vice? Is it debating Liam Neeson's recent comments about race, or maybe it's trying to dissect Adam Mckay's Oscar nominated expose on the rise of former US Vice President Dick Cheney? Christian Bale might go full method immersing himself into the psyche of the quietest man in the room, but that won't stop us from getting loud and heated as we discuss fourth wall breaking and the absence of convincing conservative cinema.

***Episode Note: There is a conversation around a listener email which may be triggering for some listeners. Please skip to 09:15 to bypass*** Is it February of 2019 already? Guess that means it’s time for our Top 10 films of 2018! When we’re not 2 months late on summarizing the previous year, you can find us debating the trends of the year, which films we missed and how well we think we know each others tastes.

Is there a "Green Cinematic Universe" where the villain is racism? Following "The Green Mile" and "Green Room", we're turning the pages of Peter Farrelly's "Green Book" to find out if Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen) can help Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) learn about fried chicken and what it means to be black in America.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? We may be caught in a landslide of movies we have to catch up on from 2018, but will Bryan Singer's(?) Bohemian Rhapsody buckle under pressure from its recent Golden Globe Best Picture win? We're gonna have ourselves a real good time turning this movie inside out in ecstasy, but don't stop us now as the conversation veers into some heavy social commentary about artists, their art and the need to break free from genre cliches. In the end, this is all just radio ga-ga, but if you want to rock us with your hot takes, fire us an email at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod.

Join us in our first book club hybrid edition, where Shahir thumbs through James Baldwin's celebrated novel prior to watching Barry Jenkin's adaptation. Does knowledge of the source material sour the film or does Matt's purely cinematic experience of romance and injustice make him swoon and scowl in equal parts? If our podcast could talk, it would probably tell you to email us in at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod.
