It’s the end of the beginning. In the Season One finale of Movie Memory Machine, Landen and Truman take a whirlwind tour through all 25 movies they’ve covered so far—from animated cows and memory-swapping sci-fi to cowboys with mime sidekicks. We revisit verdicts, call out the biggest surprises, and peel back the curtain on what it’s like to run a podcast built on forgotten cinema and emotional chaos.
Topics Covered:
The best and worst of Season One: from Don Juan DeMarco to Poltergeist (2015)
The movies that surprised us most
Revisiting verdicts: Hope Springs, The Last Song, Barnyard & more
Wildest moments: Wild Mike, that cow funeral in Barnyard, and relitigating Pete the Cameraman
Reflections on podcasting, memory, and how we talk about movies
Key Takeaways:
Some movies are worth remembering—even when they barely made a dent the first time.
The Movie Memory Machine has a mind of its own.
Talking about forgotten movies can be both goofy and unexpectedly meaningful.
Our listeners are the best part of this entire experience.
Season Two will be stranger, sharper, and more cinematic than ever.
