We Love to Watch

Our LEONE MONTH spurs forward with A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS, Leone's calling card to the world and the movie that made him, and Eastwood, quite in demand - despite not even using his own name.

We're joined by Anthony Pizzo! You can find his work on this very podcast feed as our artwork, as well as here:

Give Me a Hug Month is ending with one of the best movies of 2015, Inside Out: a movie literally everybody loves!*

Basking in that love, and giving us a much needed auditory hug is returning guest, Andrew Bloom, Senior Editor of Consequence of Sound, and writer at The Spool and The Andrew Blog. You can find some of his wonderful writing at :https://consequenceofsound.net/author/andrew-bloom/?new=true, http://www.theandrewblog.net/ , and @theandrewblog on Twitter.

*50% of WLTW's hosts may not feel anywhere close this, and actually dislike it, but this is a good reminder of how anger is an appropriate emotion in some cases

HUG MONTH goes international with a recent feel-good movie, the New Zealand HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE, directed by Taika Waititi. A road movie, a comedy, and a coming of age story all in one.

We're joined by Lydia Lomeli! She is in the middle of a new vocal performance on a book, so check out her work on "Jeff Davis 8: The True Story Behind the Unsolved Murder That Allegedly Inspired True Detective, Season One" in the meantime! It's on Google, Chirp, and Apple Books.

Give Me a Hug Month give a very awkward, but needed, side-hug with 2017's Brigsby Bear!

This is one of our favorite movies of the past decade, and we bask in that shared love with The Swampflix Podcast's Brandon Ledet! (find his wonderful work at swampflix.com....even though we all know that curiosity is dangerous.)

Rick Kelley just can't get enough of this Kevin Costner fella and has returned for perhaps the quintessential "big hug" movie, FIELD OF DREAMS. This is a love letter to baseball, to American counter culture, and people with big visions that make everyone think they're nuts.

We're wrapping up It's Groundhog Day....Again...Again Month (again) with a double feature: Resolution and The Endless.

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's first and third feature films (respectively) that loop around, mess with elder gods, and collapse in on themselves. If you haven't seen them, we highly recommend watching them together and joining us while we try to figure out how those damn bubbles actually work.

Groundhog Day month turns the concept of a time loop into a military weapon in Duncan Jones' SOURCE CODE, what could have easily been a mercenary effort but which Jones takes to dark, strange places.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan kiss also.

Don't do the time crime, if you can't do the crime time! It's Groundhog Day Again....Again month does a loopdy-loop with the great Spanish thriller, Timecrimes!

We're joined by guest Ryan Boland, who has known Peter since childhood, and likely has seen him commit many types of crimes...maybe even a timecrime?

Next week, we're covering Source Code! (don't believe the liars at the end of the episode who say another movie).

It's Groundhog Day all over again. And again. and again.

It's February, so we've got a whole batch of time loop movies to discuss. First, the movie closest to Groundhog Day's structure.

Max Barbakow's PALM SPRINGS marked an impressive piece of timing - dropped in the middle of 2020's COVID-19 quarantine, a film about being "stuck" in time resonated with a lot of us. As well, it came at a key point in Lonely Island's transformation, as they begin to get more ambitious and more daring in their productions.

We're wrapping up Lovecraft and Other Drugs Month with two little seen Lovecraft-inspired movies worth seeking out.

The first, Black Mountain Side, with caveats, and the other, The Beach House, unreservedly.

So let's take one more climb up the mountain, and another dip in the sea, to find the terror that waits for us all....
