Down To Watch

Down to Watch throws back to a time when family movies could be about monsters causing havoc all through small town America. We watched 1984's Gremlins, and had a pretty good time with it too! Come have a listen, we eventually talk about the movie even! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

DTW TV heads over to the award winning FX show Atlanta this week to meet some of the weird folks who populate the town in the minds of creator Donald Glover and his team.

Down to Watch went back to 1974's Mel Brooks classic (cult?) Blazing Saddles! Groundbreaking in its time, brazen against bigotry and also a real dumb movie (Mel said it!) , this one took some of us back to inappropriate childhood viewing and was a first for the others. Wanna know how to lure some kkk members over to steal their costumes? We'll show ya! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

Bonus DTW nTheaters for you guys! We definitely had to watch Get Out and talk about it, and you should too!

Be warned, it's all spoilers so just go watch the movie! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

Sci-fi cowboys and philosophical musings abound this week! The DTW team rides into HBO's Westworld this week and shucks howdy they sure had a lot to say about it.

This week In Theaters has the DTW crew talking about John Wick Chapter 2. Thats right, the Boogeyman, Baba Yaga himself.

Throwback Thursday at DTW shines a spotlight on the 1981 John Landis horror-comedy An American Werewolf in London! Is it a cult classic? Is it a horror with jokes or a comedy with a monster?

All these things and more on DTW-TT. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

This week's throwback movie asks the timeless question, "Are you cool?" Jonnie, Raul and Dan (and Mike) travel back to 1993, and then from there back to 1976 to revisit the classic coming of age movie, "Dazed and Confused". We see a few stars in early roles and a bunch of people we would never see again as we drift through Richard Linklater's vision of 70s high school from various points of view.

And Bad Boys 2. Did he succeed? Find out as Mike, Dan and Raul try (and fail!) to stay on topic but definitely give us their very necessary opinions on Edgar Wright's second film.
