The Only Podcast About Movies

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. Fresh off a trip from London, Matt and Shahir reflect on how many f*cks they have left to give and whether DC movies deserve your money.

Welcome to our house! It's the happiest place on earth, unless you live right behind it in the Magic Castle hotel where a little girl named Moonee and her friends might spend the morning spitting on your car. We're joined by returning guest and executive producer Annie Gillies to talk about Sean Bakers follow up to his 2015 breakout hit "Tangerine". Matt gets philosophical about child acting while Shahir wonders if the film acts as a metaphor for the film industry as a whole.

We're back waist deep in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this time with a special New Zealand connection as Shahir's fellow Film School alumni Taika Waititi takes the helm of the Norse god's third solo adventure, Thor Ragnarock! Will Shahir's persistent cynicism be won over by the NZ connection or will Matt's blind optimism at all things Marvel be pulverized by the Hulk sized fists of comedy?

It's an Only Podcast About Movies live spooktacular as we're joined by Patrick and Franchesca from "Last Name Basis" to talk about Horror movies and the scary sh*t that gets under our respective skins.

It's your death day and we're here to celebrate with a labyrinthine conversation about horror movies, the Groundhog Day gimmick and whether art needs to exist to remind you of other art.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe", and mostly we're talking about Denis Villeneuve's sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 "Blade Runner" Joined by returning guest and cinematographer extraordinaire Timur Civan (http://www.timurcivan.com/) we deep dive into Blade Runner 2049 and figure out if this sequel is more than just a replicant of the original.

It's a Tom Cruise world and the rest of the actors in this film are just living in it! With Shahir out of town (totally not doing covert ops for the CIA)Matt's cinematic mission is saved by guest Co-Hosts Red Charyszyn of Sikelia Productions and Anastasia Pridlides of Alexander Technique fame! Is this film the comedic tale of a man just trying to provide for his family while too deep in a life of crime? Or is it yet another flick glorifying illegal activities with no references to those whom its "hero" inadvertently hurts along the way? And most importantly... which of those spins is currently MORE American??!? You listen then you decide!

On September 13th, New Yorkers voted for Spike Lee's "Crooklyn" as the inaugural "One Film, One New York". Since we're The ONLY Podcast About Movies and happen to live in New York, it was our duty to continue the conversation about Lee's 1994 semi-autobiographical film! Let's take a trip down memory lane to 1973, BedStuy, where one family struggles to make the rent and the kids are running riot. Youngest girl Troy (Zelda Harris) carries the weight of responsability as the realities of a strained marriage threaten to tear her family apart. We're really happy to have been part of #onefilmny and look forward to your bagel orders which you can send directly to onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com.

The most talked about movie of 2017 sure does get talked about in this episode! Cue appropriate "yo mama" joke here! We're joined by ABC Movieland's CJ Johnson who returns to tell us why mother! deserves an exclamation point and your money. Shahir comes up with a three-tiered test to determine if you'll enjoy the movie, and Matt gets excited about the idea of a narcissistic diety. If you'd like to join us in the garden of Eden, email us why at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com, or fire some brimstone our way via twitter (https://twitter.com/onlymoviepod).

Sometimes we all float when we go to the movies, but Shahir isn't sure whether we should, while Matt is already wearing too much clown makeup in support of Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's "It" We're back to our regular programming which means it's time to take a trip down into the sewers where everyone's favorite killer clown has danced his way into the hearts and souls of the Losers club.

As a special bonus episode, here's a review of James Cameron's Aliens with special guests Nigel Stanford and Timur Civan.

Riddle me this... Can Batman also be a black man? In this special conversation, we're joined by Sombra herself Carolina Ravassa (https://twitter.com/carolinaravassa) and Comedy Knockout host Damien Lemon (https://twitter.com/dlemoncomedy) to talk about race, representation and whether Shahir could ever make it as a 90's rapper.

It's sentimental Sunday which means we're traveling back in time with Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 and joining the Austrian accented T-800 on it's second mission to change the future. James Cameron's Terminator 2: Judgement Day is back in theaters for a special 3D re-release, which means Shahir and Matt get to argue about who loves it more and why. We dive deep into the movie that may still be the reigning summer blockbuster champion both critically and financially. You can change our fate via email at onlymoviedpocast@gmail.com, or teach us how to cry on Twitter at https://twitter.com/onlymoviepod. As always, leave us your messages of hope on iTunes with a positive (or constructive) review!

Steven Soderbergh triumphantly comes out of retirement, which means Shahir can jump onto his soapbox to talk about one of his favorite working directors while Matt tries to stay awake. Channing Tatum leads an all star gang of crack heist-meisters in the Ocean's 7-11 of West Virginia. Just like the biggest fake outs of any heist film, Soderbergh himself has his eyes on another prize... independent distribution! Listen in as Shahir and Matt play amateur economists and extoll the value of foreign distribution rights and how much your personal data is worth to MoviePass (it'll all make sense in the end!) Special shout out to Steven Soderbergh who probably will never listen to this episode, but if he did and wanted to write in, could do so at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter (www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod). He could also write us a review on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-only-podcast-about-movies/id998473390?mt=2 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California P

Let's take a trip back to 1967, Detroit Michigan, Shahir and Matt were merely twinkles in their respective dad's eyes and the Algiers hotel was about to become the scene of a horrific hostage crisis. Kathryn Bigelow's "Detroit" may not be the summer escapism you're looking for, but it makes for a fascinating discussion point about the cultural ownership of tragedy and who gets to retell stories of the past. We're also going to participate in the NYC One Film event, so please go to www.nyc.gov/onefilm to cast your vote for the one film to rule them all. Please email us your thoughts and comments at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com or hit us up on Twitter (www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod). While you're there, try out #filmfood... it's delicious! Error and Omission: Shahir incorrectly cites Katheryn Bigelow's "Near Dark" as featuring Christopher Lambert. Near Dark in fact stars Adrian Pasdar.

It doesn't happen often, but we recommend you NOT watching the film before listening to our review this week. We're climbing The Dark Tower with Stephen King aficionado and OscarWatch Podcast host Stephen Buja (https://soundcloud.com/oscarwatchpodcast). Maybe we're sitting too high on our own ivory tower, but from this height, it's impossible not to take down this latest adaptation gone wrong. If you'd like to bring us down a peg and school us on the Stephen King universe, you can do so via email at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com, run us down on Twitter (www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod) or terrify us with a review on iTunes!
