The ONLY Podcast about Movies

Here's your choice: Listen to Matt and Shahir on their own, OR... bring in James Portnow and Jac from Extra Credits to help discuss Netflix's interactive Black Mirror episode, Bandersnatch. That choice is a no-brainer, but deciphering how effective Bandersnatch is at bridging the divide between gaming and cinema is going to take us down some intriguing rabbit holes, branching out infinitely and create more than one possible reality. You can choose to email us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or tweet directly to www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. Choose wisely.

Happy New Years! The end of the year might just be our FAVOURITE part of 2018. To round out this trip around the sun, we're gonna figure out which one of us counts Yorgos Lanthimos as their FAVOURITE filmmakers. We step in and try to mansplain this 18th century female power struggle between Queen Anne (Olivia Colman), her trusted advisor Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz) and potential usurper Abigail (Emma Stone). We'll also have a little diversion into revisionist history and whether rabbits make good pets. Send us a carrot via email at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. Here's to an amazing 2019!

Jingle bells, Matthew smells and Shahir laid an egg. This podcast lost its grasp and Kurt Russell got away.. Hey! We are the only podcast about movies (plural) which means we can occasional avoid watching ANY movies altogether and instead crowdsource our favorite holiday cinema experiences from friends we record at parties in our studio. Join Matt and Shahir as we ask a full panel of jolly the age old question, which movie should you watch during the holidays and why isn't it Die Hard? Also, we want to send a huge happy holidays to all of our listeners and friends who listen in every week. We most certainly wouldn't be the only podcast if it weren't for you all being the only listeners :) If you want to send us a Xmas card, you'll have to scan it and email us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or tweet it to us 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 about to get pretty crowded for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man as Matt and Shahir crash land "Into The Spider-Verse!" Can this new animated iteration of our favorite web-slinger finally make Miles Morales a household name? More importantly, does this more inclusive Spider-Man honor Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s vision for an awkward teenage kid who just wants to do the right thing?

This might be the first entirely spoiler free review we've done, so jump right in even if you aren't willing to make the pilgrimage to your local theater (or login to your Netflix account!) Fusing subjective memory with all the technical craft of a major blockbuster, Alfonso Cuarón returns 5 years after defying Gravity to deliver the uniquely personal story of Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), a nanny and housekeeper to a family living in the Roma neighborhood of Mexico City. Shahir and Matt discuss subjectivity, authenticity and whether this Oscar front-runner lives up to the hype (hint: it does!)

We might be hanging out the passenger side of our best friends ride, but that don’t mean we don’t want no Scruggs! In fact, The Coen's latest anthology of short films might just be the kind of ballad we’re hollering for. Join us as we dissect each individual short and attempt to decipher the broader meaning of this delightful assemblage of stories from the old West. Send us your thoughts in clear delineated chapters to onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or scowl at us like an ominous owl on twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod.

We're gonna need a driver, a shooter, a critic and a fanboy to dissect Steve McQueen's "Widows", a film which reunites Matt and Shahir with the heist film discussion they started on Oceans 8. This multi-layered character study may also be one of the most exciting movies of the year, so get your driver, plot your route and plan to see it in theaters (twice according to Shahir!). This episode features the first official TOPAM wager, where Matt and Shahir have wildly different interpretations of a scene. If you've seen the movie and have an opinion, email us in at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. Remember, there's a whole dollar riding on your responses! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Drop in a quarter and hit start with Ralph and Vanellope six years after they wrecked everything! We're feeling good after Thanksgiving and try to break the internet with positive vibes even as we discuss toxic relationships and codependency in this surprisingly mature and nuanced sequel. You can use the internet to contact us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. We'll even read the comments section!

So you think you can dance? Well so does Susie Bannion (Dakota Johnson) as she contorts her way into this wild reinterpretation of Dario Argento's seminal classic "Suspiria" from director Luca Guadagnino. Does this new vision of horror have us twisting in weird angles of joy or are our heads going to explode as we try to figure out what it all means? As always you can email us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod to request our dance auditions (Matt looks amazing in spandex!)

Recorded in a cafe in Bilbao, Spain, this week's episode probably should have been sponsored by Iberia Airlines (there's no harm in suggesting!). While traveling and working abroad, Matt and Shahir decide to discuss films with a strong sense of place, and what better way to do that than by looking at a film from the place they're in. Jon Garaño and José María Goenaga's "Loreak" is the first Basque language film to be submitted by Spain to the Oscars, making it a perfect gateway to discovering Bilbao.
