Married to Movies

This week, the Bogart / Hepburn Extravaganza continues! And what are the films under the microscope this episode? 1954's Sabrina and 1942's Casablanca. The Married to Movies Dictionary gets bigger as Megan makes up another word! Megan pines over wishing she knew what color the dresses were, and Desmond has given up trying to make her like black and white films. The hosts are puzzled by the likelihood of car phones in the 50s. And Casablanca's black and white and considered the best film ever made by Desmond, so we all want to know what Megan thinks, right? Who sings the German national anthem? And how did the Greek language contribute to the worst school day of Desmond's life? Listen to find out, or Gestapo spank!

In this episode of Married to Movies, Megan and Desmond kick off a two-fer of episodes, taking a look at the films of Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. The Maltese Falcon and Breakfast at Tiffany's are up first. What happens in this episode? Megan and Desmond actually agree on things! Desmond even lets her talk a couple times! Megan takes offense to Desmond offending Peter Lorre. The best movies to make out to are the long ones. When Megan tells us why she doesn't like black and white films you will be blown away. The hosts puzzle over Audrey Hepburn's origins, and have an interesting conversation about America in the early 1960s. Also, how bad is the racism in this movie? Real bad. All this and more!

In the final installment of Wedding Month, Desmond and Megan laugh their way through 2009's The Hangover, and are puzzled throughout by 2007's Margot at the Wedding. Which movie prompts Megan to talk about the bride's dress and hair? How badly does Desmond fail to come up with an analogy for a poorly titled movie? How does Desmond give Megan issues? And just how much better are Desmond's picks this month? Also, the hosts reveal the film line-up for at least the next two episodes! Listen to find out.

In this second installment of Wedding Month, Desmond and Megan celebrate their anniversary by taking in 1999's Runaway Bride and 1998's Very Bad Things. The troubles begin in the synopsis. Desmond audibly sighs. Megan wants a fluff. What happens when the accidental death of a hooker is the most lighthearted thing in a comedy? The hosts talk about eggs - a lot. Megan uses words like "schmaltzy" and "super-anal." Wait, Jon Favreau and Jeremy Piven aren't the same person? And in amongst all this, somehow two movies get reviewed.

It's Wedding Month here at Married to Movies! To celebrate, Desmond and Megan take in viewings of Bachelor Party and Father of the Bride. Then a bonus review of Sex and the City 2: The Estrogen Strikes Back by Megan and our friend Shannon. Beware though, this reception gets rowdy. Megan drops the T-word, Desmond drools over Tawny Kitaen, they both sing 1980s rock tunes, Megan shrugs inaudibly, Desmond does a Bing Crosby impression, they talk about the dirty movies they watched in French class, they both cry, and something smells funky in Denmark (and in the living room). It's a mess. Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.

Join Megan and Desmond this week as they talk about Fried Green Tomatoes, racism, how hot Mary-Louise Parker is, homosexuality and lesbian metaphors, how hot Mary-Louise Parker is, Kathy Bates' great performance, how hot Mary-Louise Parker is, and what food means to this film. Also, did we mention that Mary-Louise Parker is hot? Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.

It's Spaghetti Western time on Married to Movies as Desmond and Megan review Sergio Leone's mainstream / North American breakthrough hit, A Fistful of Dollars. Megan isn't a fan of Westerns, but she's proud she can impress her dad by telling him she watched one. She's also very impressed with her husband's knowledge of Italian cinema. Listen to Megan stretch to find things not to like about a classic! Thrill at both hosts disliking of horse stunts! Marvel at Desmond's ability to compare two films that have never been compared before in the history of film criticism! Also, does Desmond get turned down after propositioning his wife?

In this episode of Married to Movies, the hosts are cursed by the number 13 with a mediocre movie that has moments of greatness furiously tethered to the suck by boring crap: Sam Mendes' Away We Go. Desmond and Megan both love John Krasinski but can't stand Maya Rudolph. Where did the funny go? What is the pregnancy detail this film fails to realize? Listen to find out.

In this episode, while covering the kung fu classic Enter the Dragon, Megan states the obvious ("This is a real man movie") and Desmond agrees. While the plot isn't too dense, Megan still wasn't paying attention. Newsflash! Desmond loves this movie. Megan's a little indifferent. She does say something about a window imported from Sweden in her attempts to understand why her husband wants to be Bruce Lee. And Megan says something that terrifies her husband. There's some serious domestic scrapping going on here folks! Plus, Megan gives out points to listeners who give feedback!

In this episode, Desmond and Megan cover the 2009 fashion documentary The September Issue. Does Desmond like The Devil Wears Prada? Maybe a little too much. Megan wants to kick someone in the balls, and Desmond's glad it isn't him. Does Megan put down the British? Can Desmond get his months straight? What the hell is couture? What is the secret origin of the podcast? All this and more in this week's episode of Married to Movies! Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.
