We Love to Watch

60s TV Reruns month takes us down to the dark, grim middle of the month with the live action Flintstones movie, a film that is all style, vile substance.

Were joined by Bill, who did NOT want to be here!

School's out and Summer Rerun Month is here!

We're kicking off our month long look at 90's movie reboots of TV shows with a couple of winners: The Addams Family and the superior sequel, Addams Family Values.

We cover the 60s TV show, its journey to the big screen, how wonderful Christina Ricci is, and, of course, tour updates of popular ska band, Second Time Around.

Pod's Not Dead is back, baby, and so is Musical May. Carrie aka the Producer is here with Rick Kelley aka Rick Kelley are here to help.

We cover Norman Jewison's JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous and controversial musical. We discuss this, the original concept album/cast recording, and Webber's career in general.

You can find Rick's work at:

Bar none, the humblest episode of our Musical May 4 month, the recent comedic masterpiece, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping!

We continue what has really been We Love To Watch's Lonely Island Appreciation Year by discussing the high and other highs of when Hungry the Hunter has to eat.

We're joined by friend of the show and film critic, Douglas Laman. You can find all of her wonderful film writing at The Spool and landofthenerds.blopspot.com

MUSICAL MAY takes us back to the 1960s, when music was on the radio. Sort of like today. But there weren't phones. Well, they had phones, but the phones didn't have spotify or pornography. Frankly, it was a bad time for everyone.

Tom Hanks directed THAT THING YOU DO and we know you love it.

Musical May 4 kicks off with the best concert film of all time, Johnathan Demme's and Talking Head's Stop Making Sense.

We're joined by best friend of the show Carrie Amanda as we talk Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense, American Utopia, and not enough True Stories as everyone would like. (Sequel ep?)

Sergio Leone month comes to a close with ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, a nostalgic and sad look back at a west that maybe never existed.

Leone Month resumes with a literal bang (followed by a thud, and a zoom) as we tackle what may be the best Western of all time, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

We're joined by western aficionado, Zach Grooten, who has nothing to plug and wants you to know you can't find him anywhere, unless you already know where to find him.

We've been recording episodes very far in advance due to quarantine giving us some extra time. Because of that, we recorded this episode on Collision Course months ago - before the horrific anti-Asian American hate crime shootings in Atlanta-area. We have plenty to say here about how this hate has been going on for a long time, and how shitty racist movies like Collision Course help perpetuate racist sentiments in the second half of the episode. We mostly just talk trash about Jay Leno in the first half.

Please donate what you can to the victims families - you can find a link to an article where they are listed individually with links to help out families that are sorely in need.

As well, there are plenty of charities doing great work to help out Asian Americans locally across the country. Links are in the article as well - maybe find one that fits your locality, or speaks to your heart.

Thanks for listening. We love you all.

This month continues to put the love in our title, as we cover the second film in Sergio Leone's Dollar trilogy, For a Few Dollars More.

Leone adds Van Cleef and a literal monster man in Klaus Kinski to his arsenal, and are six shooters went off quite a bit (this is a reference to western movies featuring a lot of pistols, and also the process of semen coming out of our penii when we get excited.)
