What We've Watched Podcast

For the September "beyond" film we watched IT! The Terror From Beyond Space. We discuss how it was supposedly an inspiration for Alien, where the movie thinks a woman's place on a space ship should be and just how many men a grenade on space ship could kill.

Now that we are 3/4 of the way through 2024 it's time we take a look at our favorite films of 2023 - oops? It's taken us a while to make sure we've seen the best ones and we've got lots to talk about this episode.

This episode we finally watch the classic French noir film La Samourai starting the recently late Alain Delon. We discuss the film and maybe get a little carried away wondering about the pros and cons of not locking your car in 1950s Paris.

It's time to watch From Beyond, our "beyond" film for August, from the same minds that brought you the Re-Animator! A bizarre mixed bag of ideas, practical effects and filming style.

This episode we finally watch Point Blank from 1967 with Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson. A wild ride of a film that just does not let up full of intense scenes and fairly revolutionary film ideas at the time.

This episode we chat long on the Beverly Hills Cop film, reminisce about the originals (well the first two anyways) and go long on movie titles and also the advantages of watching old(er) films and how that helps understand newer movies.

Wow, episode 400! We wax long this time with our top 5 actors of the 2000's (2000-2009) and some general waffle throughout.

Thanks to everyone who has listened to us over the years!

Our monthly "beyond" film land us on a strange Italian movie from the early 80s, The Beyond (renamed The 7 Doors of Death in it's US release).

This episode we watched our third and final (for now) Larry Cohen film, The Stuff. Enough is never enough!

It's the ninth anniversary of the What We've Watched Podcast this week and we are theming it up with Nine Days, a film full of great performances from just a couple of years ago.
