The Complete Works Podcast

It's time for an Off Mike Discussions episode! This week, Smith recaps the Montana Film Festival and talks new releases like ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, ROOFMAN, PLAY DIRTY, and THE SMASHING MACHINE, while Mike D talks PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, and more!

On the second-to-last Roy Scheider movie of the season, we're talking DARK HONEYMOON, an erotic thriller also featuring Daryl Hannah, Tia Carrere, and Eric Roberts. The movie isn't very good, but there's a surprising amount of Scheider and it's totally bonkers, which counts for something!

It's Mike D's birthday, and you know what that means - it's time for a Birthday By-Law episode, where he gets to select any movie he wants to talk about! And this year, Mike has selected the 1968 Hammer Horror picture THE DEVIL RIDES OUT, starring Christopher Lee and directed by Terence Fisher!

We are rapidly approaching the end of our Roy Scheider season, and so it's only fitting that we use this occasion to find an excuse to talk about JAWS one last time. Scheider narrates and appears as an interview subject in THE SHARK IS STILL WORKING, a documentary made by JAWS fans exploring the impact and legacy of one of the greatest movies ever made.

Happy Halloween! It's time for a spooky season Mike Makes Mike Watch - Smith is making Mike D catch up with an underrated Mike Flanagan film, OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL, while Mike D is making Smith watch the cult classic '80s horror comedy FRIGHT NIGHT!

This week, Mike and Mike are tackling THE POET, released in the US as HEARTS OF WAR, and this one... might just be the worst movie we've ever talked about on this podcast. Not just of this season, we mean ever. A World War II romantic epic between (checks notes) a Nazi soldier and a Jewish woman, the film stars Roy Scheider alongside Nina Dobrev, Daryl Hannah, and a conspicuous boom mic popping in and out of frame.

It's been a while, so it's time for an Off Mike Discussions episode! This time around, Mike D is watching the new NAKED GUN, NOBODY 2, and looking back on Robert Redford's legacy with a viewing of ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, while Smith is catching up on new releases like HIGHEST 2 LOWEST, CAUGHT STEALING, TWINLESS, and WICK IS PAIN!

This week, Mike and Mike get a rare surprise at this late stage of Roy Scheider's career - a really good movie! We're discussions Brett Morgan's documentary CHICAGO 10, which blends archive footage with animated re-enactments of the protests surrounding the 1968 Democratic National Convention and the infamous trial that followed. Scheider provides voice work alongside Hank Azaria, Jeffrey Wright, Mark Ruffalo, Liev Schrieber, and more!

It's time for another Ko-Fi donation episode! Listener David donated $50 to our Ko-Fi page, which means he got to pick today's topic - and that topic is the 1981 live-action Disney superhero spy comedy riffing on James Bond: CONDORMAN! If you'd like to pick a topic for an episode, you know where to go: ko-fi.com/mikeandmikepods!

This week, Roy Scheider pops up for one scene in the sex comedy LOVE THY NEIGHBOR, and we're not gonna lie - it's breaking our brains a little bit that Scheider is in the same movie as Charlie Day. Directed by Nick Gregory (the son of Andre Gregory from MY DINNER WITH ANDRE) and an early example of digital filmmaking on an indie level, is this movie smarter than it appears to be? Well... let's not go that far, but there might be something here!
