On the third episode of the Desert Island Movie Podcast, Mike and Harry navigate the terrors induced by two drastically different horror films. First up is M. Night Shyamalan's Signs (2002), one of the earliest movies to steal countless restful nights from a young baby Harry, who was scared of aliens.

On the second episode of the Desert Island Movie Podcast (released as a launch day bonus!), Mike and Harry dive into two under appreciated masterpieces connected by themes of romantic fate. Up first is Hayao Miyazaki's Porco Rosso (1992), a gem buried beneath the weight of an iconic filmography about a bounty hunter pilot cursed to be a pig. After that we discuss Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express (1994), an endlessly watchable film about pineapple, California Dreamin', and so much more.

On the inaugural episode of the Desert Island Movie Podcast, Mike and Harry break down two atypical action movies from their childhoods. Up first is John Carpenter's Escape From New York (1981), a film that is ever-enduring in its cutthroat cynical view of America, followed by should-be classic Small Soldiers (1998), a Trojan Horse critique on action violence and big business.
