Movie Man Dem | Easter Special (Jesus Christ Superstar)

This episode we’re getting good and holy in the name of the lord. Jesus Christ Superstar is one of Damian’s favourite movies, so as the world contemplates the death and resurrection of the big JC, we take a look at that same story as told through song and dance, from the guy who made Cats!

Movie Man Dem | Happy Birthday, Rob Reiner.

In 2025 cinema lost a titan. Rob Reiner was a giant among men with the more versatitlity in his pinky than most filmmakers have in their whole bodies. Legal drama, epic fanstasy, horror, coming of age, comedy, Reiner could do it all. On this, what would’ve been his 69th birthday, we celebrate the man who gave us one of the greatest filmographies of all time.

Movie Man Dem | Toxic Authors and Toxic Relationships (Vicky Christina Barcelona)

Woody Allen is not a good man. It should be stated explicitly that this is the consensus of all on the Movie Man Dem pod. His actions are deplorable and we condemn them thusly.

Vicky Christina Barcelona is a pretty good movie, so we thought we would take a deep look at the film that won Penelope Cruz an Oscar, despite its terrible terrible source. We hope you enjoy!

Movie Man Dem | Happy New Year, Everyone's Depressed (Cocktail)

When the clock strikes midnight most anyone that legally can will have a drink in their hand, possibly prepared by an expert. We’re taking the time to get into the movie that honours those experts, that was also filmed in our home country. We went in thinking, Tom Cruise, some drinks, the beach, what a fun time! Oh how wrong we were.

Here’s to a better year with 2026.

Movie Man Dem | How The Grinch Stood His Ground And Claimed His Truth

It’s Christmas time and we got the spirit. Jack Frost is chilling. The orchids out. You know how it goes, and you definitely know the story of How The Grinch Stole Christmas. We’re celebrating the holidays and talking about the live action Jim Carrey comedy that Bam loathes entirely, but the rest of the cast kinda loves. 

Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Movie. 

Movie Man Dem | Best Movie of the Year? (One Battle After Another)

There are movies that come to us years too late, and their message feels outdated and stale. There are movies that come to us far too early, with something to say that’s ahead of its time. Then there are movies that feel perfectly aligned with the current moment. One Battle After Another is one such film and to break it down we’ve assembled a crack team ready to tackle what’s being called the best film of 2025
