If you're new to the podcast, Corey (@coreyrstarr) and Jonathan (@berkreviews) both realized they had a ton of movies they'd never seen, but really wanted to knock off their gap list. In an effort to work through their respective lists, they started this podcast to ensure they at least check one new film off the list almost every week.
Thus, for a film to qualify for Movie Club one or both of them have to have never seen it or at least not seen it for a long time. They also thought it would be more fun to create themes from which they can choose their movies for each episode.
Each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week initially spoiler free and then diving in completely after a spoiler warning. Before getting into the review Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing.
January 2019's theme is "Out of this World"
For a movie to qualify for this months theme it must feature some element of alien life coming to Earth or people leaving on a trip in space. While Corey and Jonathan have seen many movies that could qualify, there are still some big ones they have missed.
Week 3: Starman (1984)
Jonathan was just two years old when Starman (1984) hit theaters and neither he nor Corey has seen it. The film is directed by John Carpenter and has a cast that includes Jeff Bridges, Karen Allen, and Charles Martin Smith. Since both Corey and Jonathan enjoy the films by John Carpenter is makes perfect sense to add this to Out of this World Month.
