It's our five year anniversary, and the appropriate gift is a special episode about music in movies! We're introducing new people into our relationship, starting with composer Stephen Gallagher whose work you may have heard in films like District 9, The Hobbit Trilogy, Mortal Engines and The Lovely Bones! Suffice to say, Mr. Gallagher is a wealth of knowledge about music composition and brings us a whole library of movie music for our enthusiastic ears. What's a polkadot film score and how do you talk to a composer? Answers lay within! We've also created an entire Spotify playlist of all this music and more, which can be accessed here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7zTwOlwZI0BUiomO1iWLAc?si=78cwxHAlR0-u2xTjKUQbYg If you've got a hum in the drum, email us in at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or share your favorite movie scores with us at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod Our theme song is produced by Glen Cavanaugh (aka Pyrmds) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https:

Trolls World Tour may be responsible for the downfall of cinema distribution as we know it, but is it also a candidate for best film of 2020? Probably not, which is why Matt and Shahir spend this week brushing up on troll kingdoms and discover how to get stuck between pop music and a hard rock. Enchant us with smooth jazz and emails at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or spin the jukebox with us over at Twitter at www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod. We're also excited to present our very own theme music, produced by Glen Cavanagh aka Pyrmds!

Matt and Shahir are still ghosting each other while in quarantine, which makes it a perfect time to check out the super 'splosions of "6 Underground" Listen in as we parkour over the "Michael Bay as auteur" question and instead try to figure out why his movies cause temporary amnesia.

Tu Vuò Fà L'Americano! After tipping the scales on our weekly poll, Shahir gets his birthday wish to revisit Anthony Minghella's 1999 "The Talented Mr. Ripley". Like a regular Tom and Dickie, Matt and Shahir wade through the moral consequences of coveting, class warfare and whether murder is an acceptable choice.

It's Matt's birthday so we're putting on a celebratory feast with a few minor rules. Rule 1: There will be cake. Rule 2:The two of us will be locked in our own homes with enough snacks to last 1 hour 11 minutes and 23 seconds.

Tell me what you cherish most, so that I may take it away... Was it Shahir Daud? That might explain his absence... ;) With the recent release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Matt & returning guest Host Jessica Tucker thought it was the perfect time to not dilly dally or shilly shally and revisit the "best" of the Final Fantasy films. But will this tangled nightmare of disjointed story point be too much for Jess's first foray into the universe of FF7? Or does she help Matt realize that the emotional resonance he has for this story is based on shared psychological trauma much like that of an Ex-Soldier who's past is not his own? Well strap on your Burster Sword and hug your Moogle tight... because your in for one heluva odd and emotional conversation. As always if you'd like to help us find Jenova's head, please email us the crater coordinates at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or send us useful materia over on our twitter @onlymoviepod See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at

Gather round and join us as we embark on a once in a lifetime quest... that looks a lot like other Pixar quests!

Hello darkness my old friend! While hiding away in our self isolation caves, we check-in with post Batman Ben Affleck who takes off the cape and cowl to expose some real inner demons.

It's a groovy time to jump back to 1997 and revisit one of the most quoted films of all time, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery!

Week one of self isolation and we're running through our apartments being chased by superstar and actual cannibal Shia LeBeouf!

What's up moooooooo-vie lovers!

To be completely transparent, it's clear that Leigh Whannel's "The Invisible Man" is the best of Universal's Dark Universe (and that's not saying much!) But can Blumhouse Productions gaslight us into loving another one of their February releases or will we see right through their domestic abuse horror for what it really is?

Lets take a detour down a side street in Tokyo and get knocked out by the incredibly prolific Takashi Miike and his new film "First Love" If they can keep up with this complicated story involving gang wars, stolen drugs and multiple double crosses, Matt and Shahir might just learn a thing or two about love, sword fighting and whether drugs really are bad m'kay.

Step away from the matches and put a smile on your face as we reunite with the wonderful Izzy from BKRewind (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiolZNLiJplmCCzqk9-czQ)to discuss Celine Sciamma’s Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Does this “painting procedural” render an emotional landscape worthy of our tears or is this just an intellectual examination of the female gaze?

And that's what we thought of Birds of Prey... no wait, I messed up. Let's wind back to the beginning. Margot Robbie returns as Harley Quinn, narrating unreliably as we jump around in time and try to figure out how to define a superhero movie, what the barometer for cultural change is and whether February is truly a movie dumping ground.
