Do You Like Apples: Your Neighborhood Podcast

Matt Damon is back with his new movie The Instigators and we had to do something special for the person that inspired the title of this podcast. JOIN US FOR A GOOD WILL HUNTING WATCHALONG! Drew and Billy go in every direction when talking about the most legendary Boston movie. Damon had begun to make a name for himself before Good Will Hunting, but this is where he fully arrived. His best buddy Ben Affleck, established icon Robin Williams, and the always underrated Gus Van Sant bring this classic home.

Don't worry! We count down when we press play on the podcast. Join us at (1:58) for the countdown. But also just join for a fun conversation about one of our favorites if you can join right this second.

Hosts: Billy Rock and Drew Wendt

Do You Like Apples is back with a conversation completely about Trap and M Night Shyamalan, but TWIST… Billy has technical issues with his audio.

Shyamalan has made himself one of the few remaining “event” filmmakers. No matter the premise you know that he will be taking wild swings and he will polarize audiences in the process.

Josh Hartnett stars in this PG-13 serial killer thriller set at a Taylor Swift-esque concert with his daugther. The trailer seemingly gives away the twist, but we should have known that this movie would have twists stacked on twists. Each of which increases the intensity while also making the audience laugh. We are still unsure if Shyamalan means for us to laugh at his movies.

Drew and Billy wrestle with Trap but completely praise the current stage of M Night’s career. A director who went through such an identity crisis is now seemingly more confident than ever. Creating capital “C” Cinema almost every year and we will be there every time.

Billy Rock and Drew Wendt are back to their bread and butter for a movie draft profiling one of the more recognizable stars working today, Scarlett Johansson (not ScarJo, she doesn’t like that). Johansson and Channing Tatum are leading the seemingly old school, Fly Me to the Moon. And this type of movie is what she goes to when she is not working in the MCU. One for them and one for you kind of approach. But it doesn't always workout financially like you might think for such a big star...

Join in and decide who wins this Scarlett Johansson movie draft! Are you a fan of her smaller roles or do you like her in a bigger setting? You’ll see where we land by the end of this. We had an amazing time profiling a star that we take granted of.

Do You Like Apples is back with westerns! Kevin Costner is putting the whole genre on his back this weekend. The western genre is a mystery to us and we took the last couple weeks watching classics that we missed and re-watching the few that we love. Through that watching many larger discussions popped into Drew and Billy’s head about the genre. Why don’t they make them like them as much anymore? What is the most iconic era? Are comic book movies the new western? We explore all of those questions and more!

Be forewarned! We are definitely not experts! Billy called Young Guns, The Wild Boys, and called the Coen Brothers movie Miller’s Crossing a western when it is clearly a gangster movie. Hopefully our The Bikeriders conversation to start the show gets you into the spirit and stay with us the whole way. Thanks for listening to this rodeo!

Do You Like Apples is back with all things "Dudes Rock Cinema." Is it a term of endearment that has you saying, "hell yes brother!"? Is it a phrase that makes you recoil? Both are appropriate reactions.

With Jeff Nichols The Bikeriders coming out this weekend we wanted to create a conversation that mimics many conversations we over here at Do You Like Apples have had. A "popcorn reading" style conversation where our favorite titles are bounced back and forth with interjections of jest and jabs thrown in there.

(3:45) - The Bikeriders and Kinds of Kindness anticipation

But more importantly, Glen Powell is here and he is not leaving anytime soon. Hit Man hits all the notes of a Hollywood hit.

This movie is on Max and stars one of our more underrated stars in Dakota Johnson. Then they get into the full career of Richard Linklater in the form of an awards show!
