The Gonnawatchit Podcast

We discuss the biggest movie of the summer - Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" and the biggest movie of 2015, George Miller's "Mad Max: Fury Road."  Is it the end of the world... or the beginning?  

Notorious NDN (Courtland) hosts as we take a look at 2 horror "classics" starring Sam Neil - John Carpenter's Lovecraftian "In the Mouth of Madness" from 1994, and 1997's "Event Horizon", directed by Paul WS Anderson.  

Dr. Ubi hates the Mouse, but likes talking about Disney movies anyway.  On this episode, we discuss the two Pixar films released this spring, "Hoppers" and "Toy Story 5", why forgettable movies often make money, Woody's life as an atheist, a future that includes AI toys, and many, many other things. 

Tremendous Will hosts as we talk about messy marriages that make us laugh: "Splitsville," directed by Michael Angelo Covino, and "Is This Thing On?" directed by Bradley Cooper, both on Will's Top Ten of 2025 list. 

Grab your sunscreen, put on your shades, because we're taking a close look at two movies in which the sun is trouble, or in trouble, or something.  First, we'll talk about Danny Boyle's 2007 sci-fi horror meditation on God and mortality, "Sunshine."  Then we'll discuss rock muppets, can-do-it-attitude and the ethical responsibilities of leadership with "Project Hail Mary".   

Have you ever noticed how, as Easter approaches in Mexico, certain classics seem to take over television? According to Dr. Ubi, it is almost impossible to avoid encountering The 10 Commandments or The Passion of the Christ while channel surfing. In this episode, we dive into both films to analyze their cinematic strengths and weaknesses. Join us as we debate how these productions have defined the television experience of the season.

Ocean Waves, Bob.  Will hosts, and we talk about two of his favorite movies from 2025: Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" and "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery."   There might even be some crying in this one. 

We might be, after this episode.  Notorious NDN hosts as we watch two movies about White Guilt and miserable people - this year's 28 Years Later - The Bone Temple and 1980s "classic flop" Heaven's Gate. 

Al hombre más inocente, ponle una fusca en la mano y dile que la ley lo respalda; no tarda nada en hacerse un pinche cabron.

Dr. Ubi hosts as we discuss two masterpieces of Mexican cinema, Swedish vs Mexican depictions of Death, the corrosive nature of authority, and why we're all so cynical these days.  Good times!
