Steve Richards for a spoiler heavy discussion of the 8th episode of the Skywalker Saga. Directed by Rian Johnson, The Last Jedi proves that Star Wars can be relevant and feel fresh and new, all while doubling down on the series' initial influences and inspirations.

I Like To Movie Movie105 - Black Christmas (1974)Dan and Garrett get ready for the holidays with one of their favorite seasonal classics, Bob Clark's Black Christmas. With a strong focus on character and dramatic irony rather than plot and shocking twists, Clark creates a tense, holiday nightmare that will endure well beyond his other, more well-known Christmas movie.

I Like To Movie Movie104 - Thor: RagnarokDan and Garrett return to Ragna-talk about THOR: RAGNAROK, the latest from Movie Movie favorite, Taika Waititi. As we grow tired of the Marvel cinematic formula and yet remain excited about the prospect of an Infinity War, the conclusion to the THOR trilogy brings a little something new to the table to shake things up - and that's genuine comedy. Throwing continuity to the wind and somehow creating the definitive THOR movie in doing so, Waititi serves up one of the best comedies of the year and yet still can't quite escape the standard Marvel trappings. But this time...

I Like To Movie Movie102 - Blade Runner 2049Garrett and Dan are joined by Jacob Harrington, host of the Based On Nothing podcast, for an in-depth discussion of Denis Villeneuve's BLADE RUNNER 2049. When we talk about movie-movie's, we talk about films that make exceptional use of every aspect of filmmaking, and in this way Villeneuve continues to prove himself one of our great new directors with each subsequent film. He didn't just make a worthy sequel to one of the all-time great sci-fi films, he made a film that both stands on its own and adds more depth to the 30-year old mythos of the original.

I Like To Movie Movie92 - ZodiacGarrett and Dan welcome back Dan Santelli of Viva Video to celebrate the anniversary of 2007, perhaps the best movie year of its decade, with David Fincher's Zodiac. Though a bit under-appreciated at the time, Zodiac has gone on to be considered one of Fincher's best films and indeed represents the decade it was made in very well. In a post-9/11 America, we were still scrambling to regain a sense of safety and our place in the larger world we were reminded we lived in, much like the characters in this movie which is also about planting a seed of f...

I Like To Movie Movie84 - Boogie NightsDan and Garrett come out of 2016 swingin' with Dan's all-time favorite Movie Movie, Boogie Nights. Jam packed with memorable scenes, fantastic performances, and a young PT Anderson's stylish tracking shots, Boogie Nights uses the transition from film to video that the porn industry went through in the 80's to unpack the simultaneously changing movie industry, and even the actual cultural transition that was occurring in America at the time. By putting character first, Anderson made one of the most iconic films of the 90's that is equally as uplifting as it is harrowing, and ultimately reminds us that sometimes we...

I Like To Movie Movie81 - ElleMerry Bone Tomahawk Thanksgiving from Garrett and Dan! This week the boys are joined by Dan Santelli of Viva Video to celebrate the return of Paul Verhoeven with his new film Elle. Always the provocateur, Verhoeven delivers an entertaining, blackly funny film that is as difficult and uncomfortable to talk about as it can be to watch. Wrestling with meaning and intention proves difficult here, but that's precisely why it's deserving of a conversation. Follow us on twitter Like us on facebook Rate & Subscribe on iTunes

I Like To Movie Movie59 - Best Movie Movies Of 2015Garrett and Dan discuss their Top 10 Movie Movies of 2015, complete with a bevy of caveats, honorable mentions, and disappointments. 2015 was a great year for movies - we had movies about hope, gender dynamics, communication, and punching. We had a banner year for women in film. And we had a Star War. It was a real struggle for the boys to whittle their lists down to 10, and hopefully some of their choices will surprise you. Check out Garrett and Dan's lists on Letterboxd, and don't forget to head to twitter and support #ConsiderChicory this awards season. See ya next year!

I Like To Movie Movie41 - Furious SevenThe one in which we cry. SPOILERS for Furious 7, The Fast and The Furious, The F&F Franchise, and specifically the ending of Furious 7 which we encourage you to see in a theater before listening to our show. Dan puts Garrett, who has never seen a Fast nor a Furious movie, through an experiment - watch only the 1st F&F movie and try to predict the story of the 7th F&F movie. Dan's experiment backfires and causes the hosts of Movie Movie to experience real emotions for the first time. See t...
