I Make My Wife Watch Movies

More Boston! More crime! More Affleck! But there is never enough Affleck to satisfy Michael. We watch Benjamin's directorial debut and enjoy another crime film set in Boston based on the novel by the great Dennis Lehane. Is this Ben Affleck's best movie? Will Krystle give this more than 0 precious gem stones? Mysteries abound in this world.

The BFFs watch an old classic with no death or destruction, but lots of man tears from Dustin Hoffman and child stalking from Meryl Streep... yes gang, it's Kramer vs. Kramer! Spoilers start to finish on this one. We highly recommend it, especially for insensitive husbands who are so caught up in their work (or GMAT prep) that they neglect their wives and family - yeah, Trevor, that's not okay. Anyway, please write in and tell Krystle that you want her to watch Dredd next. Pretty please? Help me out here.

Michael forces Krystle to watch Wonder Woman, because she generally hates movies with strong female protagonists. Then she realized Chris Pine was the real hero the whole time and actually liked it a lot. Jokes.

Listen to find out how much we liked the new DCEU entry, and Michael mansplain to Krystle what it means to be a feminist and empower women. Spoiler-free at the beginning and then eventually we cross the line. BE ALERT and you'll be fine. But you should see this movie, so you have no excuse, really.

Krystle slept on it and decided to change her rating and Michael had some last minute thoughts that he couldn't keep to himself. You guys can figure out that this is an add-on to the last episode right? I don't need to explain that here? Like I don't need to tell you to listen to that one first because this isn't a real episode, it's just a quick follow-up? We all good here? Okay sounds good.

This episode is proof that there are miracles in the world, as Krystle finally agrees to watch The Departed! Our first Scorcese experience is a delight for everyone as Krystle is moved emotionally in a way she never before would have thought possible. A worldview is changed. A marriage bond is deepened. And gratefully Michael doesn't attempt any bad Boston accents.

This episode isn't about the movie Zodiac... and if it was, I certainly wouldn't tell you. Okay we will tell you - we saw Zodiac with some friends! The men wanted Fight Club, but the ladies picked Zodiac. A slow-burn, Fincher masterpiece, which doesn't get enough credit (this convo included). Spoilers per usual.

R.I.P. Chumbawamba.

The dynamic duo go see the new Guy Ritchie King Arthur movie... and are apparently the only ones! Go see this movie. Also please don't unsubscribe because of Michael's bad accents. We know they are bad. Please have mercy. Spoilers and whatnot.

Reversal! Krystle finally makes Michael watch something. The people of instagram voted and this was their choice! The Anna Farris and Emma Stone classic about a Playboy bunny infiltrating a sorority and girls having self esteem and loving themselves for who they are and stuff. No one dies and no explosions. 0/5 stars.

We just watched Moonlight and we are feeling things. Spoilertastic discussion, so Luisa be warned! But seriously this flick is beautiful. Can't even joke about it. Episode also has some hints for the next one - our first reversal coming up!

Ask and ye shall receive. Shout out to Bruce for recommending this precious gem stone of a movie. Spoiler heavy discussion of the 1982 Ridley Scott classic Blade Runner. Also some heavy speculation about the upcoming sequel Blade Runner 2049 directed by the legendary Denis Villeneuve. This is another love story. With robots. Trying to kill people. Hmmmm... I'm sensing a pattern.
