The ONLY Podcast about Movies

Video games have long credited film as an inspiration. However, with box office number dropping while the financial footprint of the gaming industry soars, one has to admit that the student of escapist entertainment is now the monetary master. So should movies just tap out? Not if we have anything to say about it! ...and we do... because you know… there is this panel! Half of the distinguished TOPAM gentlemen (i'll let you guess which one) along with special guests Red Charyszyn of Sikelia Pictures and James Portnow of Extra Credits return to MAGFest for this digital discussion. With the help of our live audience, we talk why this shift is occurring, what can Hollywood learn from gamings better practices, and why Jumanji and 4DX are not the answer.

Happy 2018! To ring in the new year, we take a look back at one of 2017's most divisive films, Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Tackling police brutality, race, domestic abuse and female empowerment, McDonagh certainly can string dialogue together, but can he pull all these divergent stories together into a meaningful whole? You don't need to pay for billboards to get through to us! Just email onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com to tell us how you saved $5000 in advertising costs just to get our attention! And instead of carrier pigeons, you could try tweeting at us at https://twitter.com/onlymoviepod. Here's to more terrible analogies in 2018!

Gather close with your loved ones, grab a glass of nog and settle in for a long winters review! This time tackling Arnie vehicle and Matt's favorite Xmas movie of all time! But will our lovable fun-hating film Scrooge Shahir be able to poison this "most honest" Christmas flick? Or will he learn the true reason for the season as he experiences the transcendence that is Turbo Time? Also we answer a bunch of emails regarding "The Last Jedi" so be warned of some minor spoilerishness in there. All of the two of us here at TOPAM wish you and yours joyous tidings and turbo-powered cheer. Happy Holidays everyone!

We mean it this time, this is definitely The Last Jedi! With a raspy voice and a ponderous mood, Shahir and Matt dive into the 9th Star Wars movie they've reviewed since the podcast started. Helmed by fan-favorite Rian Johnson, we try to figure out if the battle for the republic will ever end and if Shahir's cold dead soul can be revived by the force. Balance the force by sending us an email at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or practice your aim on some twitter womp rats at https://twitter.com/onlymoviepod.

In addition to our regular review of James Franco's The Disaster Artist, we have a terrific interview with Sandy Schklair, the script supervisor of The Room who is played by Seth Rogan in The Disaster Artist. Sandy tells us that he might be the most important person behind The Room, and has some words for Franco and Rogan. The interview starts at the 50-minute mark. Watching both The Disaster Artist and The Room, we decide to ask the worst question for comedy: What is funny? We also dive deep into whether Tommy Wiseau is in on the joke.

We like the truth and we're big fans of justice which is why we're throwing down a CGI gauntlet on Justice League, the latest DC movie featuring men dressed as bats and extravagant mustache removal.
