The ONLY Podcast about Movies

It's time for the 3rd annual Spider-Man reboot, which means donning our red tights and web slinging our way back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I know you're probably hoping for another Daud/Krol grudge match about the MCU, but fate has intervened and spun us a special guest to help mediate our Spidey related debate. We're thrilled to have film critic and YouTuber Bob Chipman; AKA MovieBob (http://moviebob.blogspot.com/) swing by with a long history of both the corporate politics and narrative history of Spider-Man to help us find our footing as we climb the latest MCU entry. As always, you can fire some web fluid in our direction via email at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com, or swing by our twitter page (www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod).

This week, we have a hum in the drum about Edgar Wrights "Baby Driver". Matt's super excited to see something new from his favorite working director, but will Shahir's minor criticisms send this episode flying off the highway with long sidetracks about what constitutes "fun"? Send your driving playlist to onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com, or drop a speedy reply on Twitter (www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod). Also stop by our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/onlymoviepod/) for the occasional bout of cinematic road rage.

Wedged right in between the summer blockbuster season comes Trey Edward Shults sophomore film "It Comes At Night" from production powerhouse A24, which gave us TOPAM favorites "The Witch", "Moonlight", "American Honey", "The Lobster", "Green Room", "Enemy" and "Room". If you know any of those previous reviews, you know how heated Matt and Shahir can get about these mid-budget films. Can they have a civil conversation about the merits of Shults new film, or will this turn into all out war about whether the whereabouts of a certain key really matters? If you'd like to come at us (at night), email onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or creep up on us on Twitter (www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod). Also, don't forget to leave us a review on iTunes!

It's an TOPAM Fathers Day Special! What better way to celebrate all the superhero dad's in the world by revisiting the time Batman (Michael Keaton) was just a poor shlub in the 80's trying to raise his kids while his wife Terri Garr heads off to work everyday. We're also joined by Mr. Mom's fanclub leader and fantastic director Laura Murphy (https://twitter.com/bestlauraever) from "Adam Ruins Everything" , "Last Week Tonight" and "Guy Code/Girl Code"! Laura's gonna make it 220... 221... whatever it takes to convince us that this 80's throwback is the quintessential comedy of the ages. If you've fathered an opinion about Mr. Mom, you can share it with us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com, tell us your dad jokes on twitter (https://twitter.com//onlymoviepod) or ask us how to fix your remote control by leaving us a review on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-only-podcast-about-movies/id998473390?mt=2) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever wondered what it would be like if the best part of Batman V Superman had her own movie? Well, wonder no more as we take a closer look at Patty Jenkin's glass ceiling shattering blockbuster, Wonder Woman! We're joined by uber talented makeup artist Bethany Townes (www.twitter.com/bethanytownes) who talks us through the power of seeing your childhood idol finally projected onto the big screen. Also, Matt and Shahir argue a bunch. Still wondering how you can support the show?

Captain Jack Sparrow returns in the fifth pirates voyage since it started back in 2003. And sure… It may be a pirate’s life for Matt and guest-hosts Nicholas Parker and Kristen Fajt… but the US box office (and a noticeably absent Shahir) seem to have jumped ship. Should you do the same? Crack open the rum and give a listen to our tail of a franchise that may be on it’s last peg-leg! Want to set sail with us on a regular basis?

In space, no one can hear you scream... unless you're doing the fingering. We're back in Xenomorph country, joined by Last Name Basis (https://twitter.com/lastname_basis) co-hosts and co-couple, Franchesca and Patrick who fill us in one what it's like to watch horror movies together and why a Michael Fassbender is hot AF. We also squeeze in a conversation about whether its time to abandon the Alien franchise.

It's listener request time! This comes from almost a year ago from Twitter listener Ben D. (Sorry Ben!) It might have taken us a while to get to it, but we dive deep into the depths of Wes Anderson's 2004 box office and critical slouch "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou". Since we'd just spoken about this film a lot during our Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, it was also a good opportunity to revisit the conversation about what makes a memorable soundtrack. Also... have the ravages of time changed Matt's cinematic perspective on the Wes Anderson-verse? If you'd like to burrow 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and send us an email, you could do so at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com. You could also harpoon us Moby Dick style on twitter (www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod) or get a bigger boat on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/onlymoviepod/).

It's Shahir's turn to write the episode blurb which means... "It's clobbering time!" Okay, maybe that's the wrong Marvel family, but I'm still gonna need a refresher course on who the Guardians are, what they want and whether Peter Quills mixtape has any narrative relevance anymore. Tune in for all this and listener questions through Facebook live (yup, that's a thing we're doing) Send us your awesome mixtape at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com, fire an arrow through our hearts on twitter (www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod) or tell us who our real dads are on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/onlymoviepod/).

Like a life-changing comet hurtling through the cosmos, Matt and Shahir take the plunge and share an intimate conversation about destiny, time-travel, and body swapping as they check out one of Japan's highest-grossing films of all time, Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name" (君の名は。) It's a Freaky Friday at The Only Podcast About Movies!
