Movie Time Machine : A Retro Movie Review Podcast

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, Monster Closet Edition. This week in 2016, we recount the tale of a charming New England family who sets off into the woods to begin a new life, learning to exist in peace and harmony with nature and each other. SIKE! They’re totally haunted by an evil witch, and a goat named “Black Phillip.” (Seriously, if my daughters ever named their pet something so sinister, we would have to send it away to ‘live on a farm.’) Your hosts Chad and Jamie brave the witches of the wood, and all ensuing evil that follows. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 2002, we are chiming in with a “haven’t you people ever heard of closing the goddamn panic room door?!” Our last stop on our four film tour of David Fincher brings us to the Jodi Foster thriller, full of questionable cell phone choices, lethal gas lines and many feelings about blue fire. We end the episode with a Dwight Yoakam/Jared Leto singalong mashup of “Guitars, Cadillacs” and “Walk on Water”. Well, that’s how we SHOULD have ended the episode. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1997, your hosts are part of a corporate conspiracy. Kris signed his co-hosts up for an opportunity to watch David Fincher’s The Game, and reality has become fractured. James trapped Jamie in a cab, rolling out of the driver seat before the car plunged into the bay. A paranoid Casey is forced to confront his brother Chad on the roof of a San Francisco skyscraper with shocking consequences. Everyone’s trust has been broken, and the hosts are suspicious of everything. Put on your tin foil hat, and join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 2010, your Time Machine hosts are updating their Facebook status to “it’s complicated.” What to do when a movie like The Social Network is as brilliant as its subject is scummy? How to contrast the idealistic young Zuckerberg old to the Zuckerbot he is today? Facebook changed the way the world communicates, and often not for the best. Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t deserve a movie this good, and perhaps he doesn’t deserve the reputation he’s gained. ...Or does he? Join us and find out!

• This week in 2007, the hosts are again divided on the legacy of David Fincher’s period piece, Zodiac. 

Join us as we follow the fractured account of Robert Graysmith and Paul Avery’s attempts to crack the code of one of America’s most infamous serial killers. Theories are posited about CGI, the general acting in the film, and the importance of the printed word. We have fewer answers, and only more questions. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1987, your hosts are having a little trouble sleeping. For the first time ever, MTM hosts Chad and Jamie bring you a new kind of episode, which we have dubbed the “Monster Closet.” These are special episodes where we will focus exclusively on horror films, and discuss what makes them great, and what freaks us out. Freddy Krueger is haunting our dreams for this episode, and we decided to revisit Dream Warriors to gain a little inspiration to fight back. Join us as we break down this fan favorite while delving into our own experiences with the Nightmare franchise. One host loves Freddy so much, that he crafted a Krueger glove and costume as a kid for Halloween. We hope you enjoy the first edition of our Monster Closet, and remember; don’t fall asleep alone. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1999, we’ve got some rules. The first rule of Movie Time Machine is: we will not talk about the film Fight Club. The second rule of Movie Time Machine is: we’re here to break the rules. Join us as we break down this seminal work of David Fincher, while trying to keep our anarchic urges in check. We are Jack’s collective film discussion. Join us!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1987, and from now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be “Sir”. Do you maggots understand that?! Your hosts unpack Stanley Kubrick’s reflection on the American experience in Vietnam, whiloe trying to remain positive. R. Lee Ermy and Vincent D’Onofrio are very helpful in this regard. So shine your shoes, eat that jelly donut as quickly as possible, then drop and give us twenty. Hoo-rah!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1980, your hosts are all social distancing. In fact, for this episode, we are breaking down the actions of the Torrance Family, who might have been the model example for quarantine best practices if not for that haunted hotel. Danny talks to ghosts, Jack talks to himself, and Wendy tries to keep it all together. You know, like a family vacation. Join us as we break down this iconic horror classic, and remember: always bring a spare Snow Cat!

Welcome to Movie Time Machine, where this week in 1988, your hosts have come to chew bubblegum and kick ass…,and we’re all out of bubblegum.

Grab your special sunglasses and your best buddy, because we are here to keep you sane and calm as we neutralize this extraterrestrial threat as a team.
