July 24, 2017 "Dunkirk," "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets," "Girls Trip," "24 Hour Party People"
We've got four movies to discuss this week, but to be honest, there's only one we REALLY want to talk about: It's of course Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk," one of the best films of the year. Grierson calls it one of the best moviegoing experiences of his lifetime, and all told, Leitch isn't that far behind him. Listen to them rave about Nolan's achievement. OK, fine, there were other movies too. Luc Besson's "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" is a noble failure, and "Girls Trip" is a noble success. Then, in our Reboot segment, we head back to 2002 for Michael Winterbottom's "24 Hour Party People." Timestamps: 5:15: "Dunkirk" 32:20 "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" 45:05 "Girls Trip" 56:56 "24 Hour Party People" We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or [email protected]. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast.

July 17, 2017 "War for the Planet of the Apes," "Mulholland Drive," "Kicking and Screaming"
Podcast strong. Ape proud. This week in the Grierson & Leitch podcast, we discuss the final film in the much-lauded "Planet of the Apes" trilogy, "War for the Planet of the Apes." Grierson is a huge fan of the first two films, especially the second one, but they left Leitch cold. So it's a little surprising where they both land here. Then we have two Reboot movies. First, it's 2001's "Mulholland Drive," David Lynch's masterwork that is considered by some to be the best movie so far this century. We're not quite willing to go that far, but it's still great. Then, they tackle 1995's "Kicking and Screaming," which is not the Will Ferrell soccer movie: It's Noah Baumbach's first feature. It's the '90s again! Timestamps: 5:55 "War the Planet of the Apes" 24:15 "Mulholland Drive" 46:52 "Kicking and Screaming" We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or [email protected].

July 10, 2017 "Spider-Man: Homecoming," "A Ghost Story," "Magnolia"
We are delighted to come at you with nothing but happiness this week. We've got three movies this week, and we like all three of them. But there is shading in our praise. Will loves the new "Spider-Man" reboot, while Tim likes it, but finds it a little bit too familiar to his taste. They both love "A Ghost Story," though, David Lowery's strange, gorgeous glimpse into the abyss of death and the cosmos. Then, in our Reboot segment, we dig into Paul Thomas Anderson's three-plus-hour 1999 epic "Magnolia." Honestly, we could talk about that movie for hours. Timestamps: 3:10 "Spider-Man: Homecoming" 28:25 "A Ghost Story" 42:44 "Magnolia" We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or [email protected].

July 03, 2017 Best Movies of the First Half of 2017, "Okja," "The House"
We have reached the midway point of 2017, which means it's time to look back at our favorite movies from the first half the year. So Will and Tim each give their picks for the best six movies so far. There is only one crossover on both lists. Sorry: We're going to make you listen to find out what the films are. We also have two new reviews this week. First, Bong Joon-Ho's "Okja," a Netflix original that's the most ambitious and unwieldy movie the streaming service has made yet. Then a movie that is much, much worse than not only that, but almost any movie you will see this year: The airless, laugh-free "The House." No Reboot segment this week: Those will return next week. Timestamps: 6:40 Top Movies of the First Half of 2017 48:30 "Okja" 1:08:20 "The House" We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or [email protected].
