We Recommend: A Movie Podcast

Seventeen kids walk out of their homes at 2:17 a.m. and vanish into the dark, and the worst part is how fast the town decides it needs someone to blame. We recommend Weapons, then we pull the movie apart and put it back together, section by section, the same way the film does with its shifting points of view. What starts as a small town horror mystery turns into something we can’t stop thinking about, and yes, it somehow becomes weirdly rewatchable.

“Damn you people, this is golf, not a rock concert!” Happy Gilmore is still  hilarious and sentimental. We rewatch Adam Sandler’s 1996 sports comedy and get into the real question: is it just a stack of iconic quotes, or is it actually a good movie with a solid underdog engine?

Space is gorgeous until it’s trying to kill you. We recommended Gravity, then came back to unpack why Alfonso Cuarón’s space survival thriller still feels like the tightest 90 minutes in modern blockbuster filmmaking and why it can make you realize you haven’t breathed in a while.

Casino Royale is the moment James Bond stops feeling like a cartoon and starts feeling like a bruised human being, and that’s why we can’t stop talking about it. We’re breaking down Daniel Craig’s first turn as 007, from the black-and-white opening kills to the parkour chase that helped define 2000s action movies. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a “great Bond movie,” we argue it out: gadgets versus grit, charm versus competence, and why this reboot finally makes the job look painful.

The movie that changed the landscape of filmmaking. Without the success of Batman Begins would we have the MCU? Listen to us discuss who our favorite Batman is, and how this film ranks in the Trilogy. We also dive into the lengths Christian Bale went to get a bat bod. What's your favorite Christopher Nolan film?

The first Mission: Impossible is a 1996 time capsule that somehow still feels sharp, tense, and stylish, so we finally put it on the We Recommend Podcast. We are Jesse and Jason, and we dig into why Brian De Palma’s approach turns a big Tom Cruise action movie into a quiet paranoia thriller, where the smallest sound can feel like a gunshot and every extra in the background might be part of the trap.

The most terrifying Spider-Man moment might be a suburban front door opening. We’re recommending Spider-Man Homecoming (2017) and digging into why Tom Holland finally makes Peter Parker feel like a real teenager instead of a fully grown adult pretending to be 16. The jokes land, the school stuff feels lived-in, and the movie’s best scenes are the ones where Peter is clearly in over his head and trying to act cool anyway.
