The ONLY Podcast about Movies

Say our names say our naaaamees! Shahir and Matt tap into their fourteen year old selves to evaluate if Shazam soars to new heights or crash lands under the weight of thunderous expectations. We also follow up our Leaving Neverland discussion with some listener emails and debate Shahir's avoidance of spoiler filled trailers. You can say our names five times while staring in a mirror to conjure us out of thin air... or failing that, just send us an email 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.

Jordan Peele's follow up to "Get Out" is here and we've got five on it! This means we get to spend the episode talking about our favorite subject - Us! We come to the troubling realization that Matt and Shahir may actually be doppelgangers who see movies the same way (but maybe inverted?). Can we figure out all the hidden messages as we trip down the rabbit hole into the hall of mirrors of Jordan Peele's mind?

Fresh off a plane from New Zealand, Shahir reunites with Matt to discuss Dan Reed's two part Michael Jackson expose Leaving Neverland. And hot on the heels of our Art vs Artist episode we try to figure out if Michael Jackson can be cancelled and whether we're able to differentiate a con from an icon.

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.
