Luke Mayo, Corrye Cooke and their locker room of oddball buddies over-analyze a wild mix of films. What's profound? What's ridiculous? We like to think of ourselves as the Beyonce of movie podcasts (w... more
FAQs about Movie Chumps:How many episodes does Movie Chumps have?The podcast currently has 227 episodes available.
September 17, 2023Episode 176: Born on the Fourth of JulyAstonishing. Tom Cruise is flat out astonishing. Luke watches it for the first time, and explains his ridiculous reason why it took him 34 years to do so. Meanwhile, Corrye articulates the arguments Oliver Stone makes against Vietnam in ways the director's other classic, Platoon, didn't. PLUS: all the cameos and familiar faces we loved; Ahsoka delivers its best episode yet; and Luke & Corrye pick their all-time NBA starting five....more1h 52minPlay
September 09, 2023Episode 175: Wall StreetGordon Gecko. Bud Fox. 1980s sleaze & greed. The Chumps pluck out the best of Oliver Stone's 1987 smash hit Wall Street, while poking fun at John C. McGinley's antics, the cheesy clumps of dialogue ("this turkey is braindead!"), Hal Holbrook's platitudes, and Sean Young. PLUS: the moral force of Martin Sheen's Carl Fox, and why Daryl Hannah doesn't deserve a Razzie award for her performance....more1h 41minPlay
September 03, 2023Episode 174: PlatoonNothing ushers in the start of Oliver Stone's dynamite run of films like the haunting Adagio for Strings classical music piece and the blockbuster performances by Willem Dafoe and Tom Berenger. Luke & Corrye shine a spotlight on Stone's ability to capture: the rawness of war, the colorful characters of Charlie Sheen's crew, all while creating that "we could die at any second" atmosphere that is so paramount about the Vietnam War. PLUS: John C. McGinley plays a great schmuck....and the Chumps check in to see if Ahsoka continues its momentum for episode 3....more1h 48minPlay
August 27, 2023Episode 173: The GreyLiam Neeson versus everyone. That's what we all assumed coming into The Grey. But we were wrong; to quote Christopher Wallace - DEAD wrong. The Grey is neck-deep in existentialism and big-picture themes that were camouflaged in the initial trailers. PLUS: Corrye's provocative take on Scooby-Do, and Luke brings us another "late to the party" recommendation....more1h 44minPlay
August 20, 2023Episode 172: The MistA difficult rewatch, given one of the more devastating endings in film history. Luke & Corrye explain why it's also the PERFECT ending. And how about this cast? Toby Jones, Marcia Gay Harden, Andre Braugher, and Steve Kerr lookalike William Sadler. All cooking with gas. Corrye shares some differences with Stephen King's novel, while Luke leads the insult barrage on The Mist's CGI monsters. PLUS: Director Frank Darabont pulls a John Cazale - except he really doesn't....more1h 42minPlay
August 13, 2023Episode 171: The Green MileMichael Clarke Duncan's John Coffey is the quintessential "gentle giant," but The Green Mile is NOT the quintessential prison movie. A haunting but uplifting film that grapples with the finality of death, the Chumps sift through the tall grass to capture the heart & soul of Frank Darabont's follow-up to the The Shawshank Redemption. Corrye explains why this is a dynamite page-to-screen adaptation from Stephen King's genius mind. The Chumps reflect on the cast, the score, and so much more....more1h 32minPlay
August 05, 2023Episode 170: OppenheimerLuke & Corrye are in agreement: Best movie of the year so far. It should run the table at the Oscars unless Killers of the Flower Moon packs as much wallop as the book does. We ask the tough questions: How good WAS Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer? Should they have shown the atomic bomb devastation in Japan? The Chumps dissect the cast and compare it to the Murderer's Row of Oliver Stone's JFK. PLUS: how do you pronounce biopic? Corrye found the right answer but Luke isn't having it....more1h 47minPlay
July 29, 2023Episode 169: John Wick Chapter 4Corrye calls this film the 3rd best action film of all time. The Chumps welcome back Cory K from the podcast That Sounds Terrible; Go On to reflect on the fourth John Wick installment. How good is the choreography? How exceptional is the villainous Bill Skarsgard? Does Donnie Yen steal the show in EVERY fight sequence? Lots of questions, plenty of answers....more1h 36minPlay
July 09, 2023Episode 168: Indiana Jones and the Dial of DestinySpoiler Alert: this one tops Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Indiana Jones is back, and so are Luke & Corrye after some summer vacation time. The Chumps head back to the theater as Dial of Destiny, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, hit the big screen. Luke's got a UPS truck full of nitpicks, but really enjoyed it. Corrye said he had a smile on his face the whole time watching the new Indy. The fellas also talk the new kid, Teddy; Mads Mikkelsen's villainous addition; Karen Allen's big scene; Sallah warming hearts again; and Harrison Ford taking on old age....more1h 42minPlay
June 25, 2023Episode 167: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullWas the fourth Indy film really that bad? Yes....and no. Luke & Corrye admit to its obvious faults (and some pitfalls you may not have considered) while saluting its charms and classic Indiana Jones tropes. Was the wedding at the end too much? Why is Luke so mad about Shia Lebouf swinging through the jungle on vines? Why no John Rhys-Davies? Didn't Shia LaBeouf actually kind of crush the Mutt role? PLUS: Corrye spits out a fantastic alternative idea for a 4th Indy film - if it came out in the '90s....more1h 43minPlay
