The Binge Movie Podcast

In which Jason sits down with iconic actress Clea DuVall (with some background shouting from Natasha Lyonne) to discuss DuVall’s directorial debut, THE INTERVENTION, as well as her storied friendship with Lyonne, Alia Shawkat’s notorious resemblance to Ilana Glazer, and the joys of working on VEEP.

In which we hyperventilate through a series of clichés to describe the exhilarating DON’T BREATHE, are boggled by the inability of A TALE OF LOVE AND DARKNESS to make us care about its rich subject matter, and fall for the fresh, fish-out-of-water charms of MORRIS FROM AMERICA.

After a lengthy analysis of the Nate Parker controversy, Jason and Rebecca are impressed by BEN-HUR's action filmmaking despite its bountiful unintentional laughter, marvel at Jonah Hill's ability to make Miles Teller seem likable in WAR DOGS, and wish Werner Herzog had anything to actually say in LO AND BEHOLD.

In this super-sized summer episode we hold back our tears at the poignant beauty of PETE'S DRAGON, advise listeners to take their older female and/or gay relatives to FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS, fall desperately in love with the subject of MISS SHARON JONES!, disagree about the merits of LITTLE MEN, and hail the fresh female perspectives of EQUITY.

In which we assess the many convoluted failings of SUICIDE SQUAD, connect with the creative insecurities of DON'T THINK TWICE, and hope NORMAN LEAR: JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF YOU entices a whole new generation to check out Lear's trailblazing TV classics.

On this very special episode, we count down our ten favorite movies of 2016 so far and revisit some of our own finest moments. Plus, Rebecca confronts Jason about only choosing clips wherein she makes hilarious bloopers.

In which we celebrate the appropriately messy return of Edina and Patsy in ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE, disagree over where CAFÉ SOCIETY fits into Woody Allen’s filmography, tremble fearfully at LIGHTS OUT’s expert combination of horror and heart, and are nearly as frightened by the maddening picture of the music industry in BREAKING A MONSTER.

In which we surrender to the ectoplasmic enchantment of Paul Feig's GHOSTBUSTERS and condemn the haters in no uncertain terms.

In which we wish that MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES let its leading ladies off the leash, celebrate Taika Watiti's hilarious adventure HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE, and praise the conceptual triumph of NO MEN BEYOND THIS POINT even though, ironically, it's too man-focused.

In which we celebrate Fart Week with the stinky boring lows of THE BFG and the boldly flatulent highs of SWISS ARMY MAN, then take a dip in the refreshingly bleak waters of Todd Solondz in WIENER-DOG and try to find something nice to say about THE LEGEND OF TARZAN.
