Direct to Audio: A Movie Discussions Podcast

*Cue Batman thumbs up gif* It is finally happening. Max and Host Spencer pay tribute to one of the greats (we love ya Val) and cover a movie that was integral to both their childhoods. This movie in itself is a riddle: What is good, but bad, bright, but dark, and has too many twos to count? That last part is a stretch but Two Face, two villains, two heroes, two versions of the movie (release the Schumacher cut)... you get the idea.

With it being the month of the NFL Draft, it's only fair that Direct to Audio has one of its own! Liz, Max, and Host Spencer dive into 3 unique film themes. Starting with Chicago's comedy sweetheart, Bill's filmography spans 5 decades and is widely regarded as one of the funniest/ snarkiest actors to grace the silver screen. From silver screen to (sometimes) silver as a weakness, the team takes movies from a horror character that truly will never die, unless you've got garlic on you. Finally, they decide to be mean for a bit and choose the worst of a bloated genre that they all love. But hey, if you love something, you can bash it a little.

We return to a classic movie and episode, as Host Spencer and guest Bre talked about one of the most iconic animated movies of the 90s. There's a lot of food, bad accents, and jams in this movie, so enjoy the trip back to 2021 as they cover it all.

It's time to decide which movie is the king of the world... well the 90s, that is, as Host Spencer & his Goodfellas Max & Liz chose 68 movies to Face/Off over the title of best/ most 90s movie! In the decade of movie rentals, we see film geeks Tarantino and Kevin Smith get their start, while Spielberg and Cameron run the decade with Blockbusters aplenty. From the Will Smith Alien Movies, to the resurgence of Disney, and the domination of comedy icons Carrey, Sandler, Myers, and Williams, this decade truly spared no expense in keeping you entertained from start to finish. We promise you, this one's a Scream, baby!

(Original Airdate 3/21/22) We have had a lot of "bests" on this channel, and ironically our best/ most popular bracket is when we talk about the worsts! Morgan and Jamie joined host Spencer to find out what the worst film trope is, and after relistening, you'll not be able to not see them in movies. We're sorry in advance... even though we did this already.

(original airdate 6/13/22) We do a double rewind for this one, as we go back to 2022 to go BACK to the 80s, and talk about one of our most beloved bracket episodes, where the pod decided what is the most/best 80s movie. Lots of contenders, lots of fun, lots of background noise from Max's garage.

Now that the boring awards are done, here Host Spencer and Liz come to wrap up the year 2024 in film! What an absolutely fantastic year for all different types of genres and styles. From the hyper indie Anora, to the insanely poignant and crazy The Substance to the long awaited Wicked adaptation, to the internet breaking Deadpool & Wolverine, and even a 30+ year sequel to Beetlejuice (thank god we didn't have to wait that long for Dune 2). We bring you 20 categories that celebrate it all, so dust off your tux for one more show to send 2024 off with a bang!

Love is in the air, and with love comes reminiscing about the early days of your relationship. Ironically enough for Host Spencer and Theresa we have that recorded! A much requested rewind, this episode is from Valentine's Day 2022, and it is the first Would You Rather to be on the pod. We wanted to rewind with an Oscar award winner, but we have never covered one. So, love and goofy convo wins.

This Podcast has waited over 3 years for this... and boy did it live up to what Host Spencer and his rootin' tootin' partner Theresa thought it could be. Paddington returns home to deepest, darkest Peru for a mystery/ adventure we didn't know this little bear could do! With new faces joining (hello Olivia Coleman movie MVP) and old friends returning, this movie is the fun/ heartwarming story we needed right now.
