Dead Letter Movie Podcast - Dead Letter Movies

Tim and Andrew discuss what might be the greatest movie musical of all time. Turns out that vamp at the beginning is not Cyd Charisse but an actress named Judy Landon. Andrew feels embarrassed about that. 

We give some of our thoughts on what got nominated this year. Some films we're excited to see, others...not so much. Have a listen.

Return of the pop culture franchise films! Remakes and reboots abound! We discuss two of the higher-profile examples of the year and try to contextualize with a bit of our own fan histories as well as how they relate to the broader public's reception.

Robert Zemeckis directs a comedic detective noir feature with a star-studded cast and also a cartoon rabbit. What else needs to be said? Maybe not this, but we said it anyway.

Reflections on the 2016 Academy Awards. The good, the bad, and the just plain weird. A little about upcoming titles, too.

Having now seen all of the nominated movies, we give a few thoughts on each and speculate on the outcome.

It's award season again, which means we get (have?) to react to the list of nominees. There were some surprises and oddities this year. More to come on this topic as we see the rest of the movies and, of course, the awards themselves. Also a brief remembrance of some recently departed film stars who will be missed.

What makes a movie not work? Plainly a very subjective question about which everyone has his or her own ideas. Here are some of ours!

As a bookend to our last episode, we talk about the now-concluded summer movie season and the cinematic offerings contained therein. Action, adventure, comedy, drama, thrills, and chills! Also Jurassic World.
