Not Another 2001 Movie Podcast episodes:

September 01, 2026 Witch Episode Is This? ("Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" with journalist Hadley Balser and fandom expert TheSecondBatgirl)
It's September 1, so you know what that means: time to board the Hogwarts Express!
Today we’re discussing HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE and, given the weight and volume of all there is to discuss, we welcomed two guests for the first time. Hadley Balser is a journalist and recent college grad, and TheSecondBatgirl is a podcaster and general expert on all things fandom (she also once was a moderator for a Harry Potter fan site — remember those?!)
Yes, we talk about J.K. Rowling’s bigotry against transgender people, and the impact that’s had on how folks engage with Harry Potter. If you don’t want to hear that, grow up. (Or, IDK, skip around I guess, but I’m not gonna hold your hand to the time stamps.)
This week’s bonus feature is all about fandom and “nerd” culture: the history, the hijinks and the hysteria that probably has done more harm than good to society.
Usually we ponder, “Does this movie matter?” but this week it takes on a different form, naturally, given the subject at hand. So grab a wand and hold on tight.

August 28, 2026 BONUS: Click This Cause We Talk About Kittens ("Someone Like You")
This one’s for the … WOMAN!?!?!
Yea, our “Kentucky Month” was a bit of a sausage fest. We couldn’t let August end without recognizing one of the commonwealth’s favorite daughters, Ashley Judd!
She stars alongside Hugh Jackman, who’s much less jacked than he is these days (complimentary), in the rom-com SOMEONE LIKE YOU. It’s a breezy little movie that also features Greg Kinnear, Ellen Barkin and Marisa Tomei. It also should never be confused for the 2011 hit song from Adele or the 2024 Christian romance by the same name, as neither of those feature cows gettin’ it on.*
We spend as much time talking about Judd’s iconic Kentucky Hockey poster, high school mascots and the virtues of just hanging around in one’s underwear as we do the movie. So, it’s about as great as bonus episodes get!
*I can’t nor won’t confirm that’s true of the 2024 movie but, y’know, context clues

August 25, 2026 What Happens in 2001 Stays in 2001 ("Ocean's Eleven")
What do you get when you mix several of the biggest actor in Hollywood, a filmmaker with distinct vision and commercial sensibilities, and a hair-brained scheme? One of the finest blockbusters ever screened at multiplexes (well, at least according to the host writing this description).
OCEAN’S ELEVEN stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts among several other well-known faces (including future Captain America Don Cheadle). It’s actually a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack flick of the same name but has very little in common with it beyond that. Here, the target is absurd — not one, but three casino cash reserves housed in an underground vault — and, often, so too are the motivations. It’s a crystallization of the phrase, “They don’t make ’em like that anymore.”
Allison, a true appreciator of sin, becomes a tour guide in this week’s bonus feature segment dedicated to the city that capitalism demanded exist: Las Vegas!
Finally, we put our chips on the table and ask, “Does this movie matter?” One of us might lose their shirt!

August 21, 2026 Not Another 2001 TV Podcast: "Justice League: Secret Origins" with author Daniel Dockery)
Wait, a TV show? I thought this was a movie podcast?
Welp, not today. Our ninth bonus episode also is a backdoor pilot for a limited sub-series within our limited series (muahahaha)! And, of course, it has an awesome guest star: pop-culture journalist Daniel Dockery, the author of I AM THE NIGHT: THE ULTIMATE UNAUTHORIZED HISTORY OF BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES.
Of course, that show came out almost 10 years prior to our year. But it gave birth to JUSTICE LEAGUE, which premiered in November 2001 with the three-part arc “Secret Origins.” That also originally aired as a TV movie so … technically …

August 18, 2026 Jackin' and Rippin' ("From Hell")
Get out your carving knives, cause we’re headed to the mean streets of London in FROM HELL.
Johnny Depp and Heather Graham star in the Hughes brothers’ adaptation of the quintessential Alan Moore comic FROM HELL, which was inspired by the 1988 BBC miniseries JACK THE RIPPER, which was influenced by the 1978 film MURDER BY DECREE, which followed Stephen Knight’s bestselling 1976 book JACK THE RIPPER: THE FINAL SOLUTION. No idea is original!
It all, of course, stems from a series of murders that occurred in London’s East End from April 1988 to February 1891. Many of those killings were eventually prescribed to “Jack the Ripper,” a serial killer who to this day remains unidentified. Fittingly for our goofy show, our final movie from the “That Really Happened” segment of our draft aligns with a subject about whom we really don’t know much.
Naturally, we dive into societal fascination with true crime in the bonus feature. Then, as always, we ponder “Does this movie matter?” Jack may not like where we arrive.

August 11, 2026 The Greatest ("Ali")
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! This week, we’re stepping into the ring with Michael Mann’s biographical epic ALI.
We talk a lot about Will Smith’s physically impressive transformation into one of the greatest athletes who’s ever lived, Jon Voight’s uncanny turn as Howard Cosell and Mann’s signature kinetic, documentarian direction. The film captures a tumultuous decade in the life of a global sports and cultural icon, and we do the best job that three white people from Kentucky can in talking about that.
In our bonus feature segment, we focus on a part of Ali's legacy outside the ring: Parkinson's disease. We discuss Ali's diagnosis, his brave public fight with the neurodegenerative condition, and how his high-profile advocacy, alongside contemporaries like Michael J. Fox, fundamentally shifted public understanding and funding for Parkinson's research.
Does ALI matter in 2026? Let’s square off.

August 04, 2026 Red Scare ("Ghosts of Mars" with producer Sandy King Carpenter)
All aboard! It’s time to take the train to John Carpenter’s GHOSTS OF MARS.
We are incredibly honored to kick off the episode with an interview with legendary producer Sandy King Carpenter to talk about her extensive career in horror, the wild production of this week's film, and what it’s like bringing terrifying, ambitious visions to the big screen alongside her husband, John Carpenter.
After the interview, we continue to break down the sci-fi, action-horror mashup. We dive into the delightfully chaotic casting — including Natasha Henstridge as a pill-popping space cop, Ice Cube as the notorious outlaw "Desolation" Williams, a surprisingly hairy Jason Statham, and the iconic Pam Grier — along with the film's wild premise of ancient, red-dust spirits possessing all-comers and turning them into maniacs.
In our bonus feature segment, Slate was inspired by Carpenter’s unapologetic vision to further discuss filmmakers' passion projects.
Does GHOSTS OF MARS matter in 2026? Or should it have stayed buried deep beneath the red dirt? Lock, load, and listen to find out!

July 31, 2026 BONUS: A DCOM Double Feature (with "Disney High" author Ashley Spencer)
Grab your lucky gold coins and strap on your helmets, because we’re unlocking the Disney Channel vault! We’ve got a 2001 Disney Channel Original Movie — DCOM if you’re nasty — double feature on deck. Pop-culture journalist Ashley Spencer, author of DISNEY HIGH: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE RISE AND FALL OF DISNEY CHANNEL’S TWEEN EMPIRE, joins us for the fun.
First, we break down THE LUCK OF THE IRISH, where Ryan Merriman plays a basketball star who discovers his family's deep, dark secret: they're leprechauns. Then, we rev our engines for MOTOCROSSED, a surprisingly great adaptation of Shakespeare's TWELFTH NIGHT that sees Alana Austin masquerading as her twin brother to hit the track.
Do these movies matter in 2026? What about Disney Channel at large? It’s OK if you wanna practice your wand-waving while we try to answer.

July 28, 2026 Not Another Ghost Movie ("The Devil's Backbone")
A lot has changed since 2001, but Guillermo del Toro’s love for telling stories about monsters has persisted.
THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE (or EL ESPINAZO DEL DIABLO in its native tongue) is, put most simply, a ghost story. We find ourselves in an orphanage strained by the realities of the Spanish Civil War, which is in its waning days but about to be won by fascists. Fuuuuuuuun!!!
Following the movie talk we dive briefly into the history of Mexican cinema before, as always, closing with a discussion about the movie’s lasting impact in our, “Does it matter?” segment.

Cam Drummond, a sports reporter for the Lexington Herald-Leader and soccer aficionado, comes aboard in their stead.
