Perfect Movie

First, a warning: this episode is about a movie that may not be helpful for you to watch in this moment, depending on who you are and how you feel. Anthony and Steven change things up and talk about an oddly timely film, Contagion, which takes place during a global pandemic. In fact, hear this suggestion from Maureen Taylor, CBC journalist and physician assistant in infectious diseases: “If you are panicked now, then you should probably give this movie a pass.” If you want to give this episode a pass as well, we understand!

However, we felt that it was worth a special episode. The movie gave us some intriguing revelations, it succeeded in many ways as it seeks to be scientifically accurate, and it helped us as we considered how we act in this unique time in history. Movies have that kind of power, and we wanted to talk about that. Plus, we are our regular selves in this episode, and we know that brings comfort to you, our listeners. Hey, if nothing else, we watched it so you don’t have to! Stay safe out there, and Happy Viewing!

So, are Sneakers and The Fugitive perfect? We reveal the results, consider whether these movies might share a Universe, talk about reboots, and give a mini-tribute to Steven’s dad. Next week: A League of Their Own!

Just what you need in this strange time: two of our grumpiest actors chasing each other around and growling at each other! But, oh, this movie is SO much more, and gosh darn it if we don’t think it’s perfect. And we’ll do a Peter Pan to prove it to you, right off this dam, right here!

(Note: Everything except the intro to this episode was recorded before the world changed. Thus our apparent ignorance of the pandemic – it’s actual ignorance!)

Too Many Secrets? Not when the Gomers are around – Anthony and Steven reveal them all as they dig into the 90s heist movie Sneakers. That cast! Those set pieces! That weird accent that Ben Kingsley is doing! What even is it? We’re on the case!

So, is Galaxy Quest a Perfect Movie? We reveal the results, make an apology, remember a movie argument we once had, and talk about how one influential person can change you for the better, if you have an open mind. Next week: The Fugitive!

The seventh-best Star Trek movie of all time is put on trial this week: we’re talking Galaxy Quest! It’s peak Tim Allen, blonde Sigourney Weaver, stoned Tony Shalhoub, and oddly self-depricating Alan Rickman all rolled up into a super fun movie that Steven posits is actually about art itself. But is it perfect?

It’s February 2nd and you know what that means: it’s time to talk Groundhog Day, Bill Murray’s hair, and the meaning of life. And here’s a fun tip: feel free to listen to this episode again tomorrow at exactly the same time for the full effect.

So, is ALIEN a Perfect Movie? We reveal the results, as well make really weird realizations about the score. Also we talk a lot about how much we like it when the things we love blow up. Galaxy Quest next week!

Our first horror movie! The Gomers try not to be too scared as they discuss the dark, gritty, lonely, wet, no-one-can-hear-you-scream ALIEN. How can a ship that size be run by a crew of seven? Why does the alien look so much like the interior of the ship? How come everything is so dirty, and what’s with the Christmas lights? Does it seem like director Ridley Scott could basically do whatever he wanted? And wait…does all that actually make the movie perfect?

So, IS Sleepless in Seattle a Perfect Movie? We reveal the results, as well as Steven’s criteria for a Perfect Movie. Also we keep getting our Bills (Pullman and Paxton) mixed up.
