2018-03-0934 minNow and Then Movie PodcastBlinded By NostalgiaWe all loved certain movies as kids that maybe don't stand the test of time. But we love them anyway. We can't even tell they were bad some times. Those movies are a blind spot for us, in a fog of nostalgia. We dive deep and list five or so of the movies that are on our list of movies that we just don't know if they are any good. But our lists are good, we think.
2018-02-0949 minNow and Then Movie PodcastGroundhog Day and About TimeTwo films that are more than they seem on the surface are the focus of this episode. Groundhog Day (1993) almost needs no introduction, but it does need repeat viewings to let the viewer in on how deep the movie runs. About Time (2013) is billed as a comedy but offers s much more than laughs. Get ready to think about life and all the choices that you may regret because these movies are time travel adjacent.
2018-02-0132 minNow and Then Movie PodcastS3E8 - ArrivalThe movie is Arrival (2016) starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forrest Whitaker directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Eric Heisserer. It's so much more than expected. It surpasses expectations and transcends the genre. We liked it.
2018-01-1339 minNow and Then Movie PodcastS3E7 -The Big Sick and the HeroThe Big Sick and The Hero look at what happens when life throws you something unexpected. And hard. There are no obvious choices in life when dealing with families, culture, expectations, fame, drive, and love. Then add in sickness. These two films take different looks at these things... different from each other and different than most films. The Big Sick is a comedy with a surprising amount of heart. Kumail is a comedian and meets his match in Emily, a lovely girl who is perfect for him. The only problem is that Kumail is expected to abide by an...
2017-12-2227 minNow and Then Movie PodcastS3E6 - Person to Person and LemonSubdued. Avant-garde. Weird. Maybe words that we could use to describe our two offerings on this episode of Person to Person (2017) and Lemon (2017). But do we? These each have star-studded casts full of great actors or comedic geniuses. So what does that add up to?
2017-11-1236 minNow and Then Movie PodcastS3E5 - John Wick 2 and The Hitman's BodyguardHe's back, and this time its complicated. John Wick is reluctantly brought back into the life of being a gentleman assassin. But I warn you, do not make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry. Hand to hand combat is on full display once again and is not to be missed. We compare and contrast to The Hitman's Bodyguard. The laughs fly as freely as the bullets do in this one. Its a lighthearted tale of two killers on a road-trip to testify against a war criminal with a few pit-stops to win over their lady-friends.
2017-10-2846 minNow and Then Movie PodcastS3E4 - Get Out and SplitGet Out and Split. Horrible name of this episode or regular names of two pretty good horror films from 2017? Could be both.

But hey, its not all about the destination, its about the journey, right? Well, that's what Passengers posits and we have plenty of thoughts on that... Life stars some big name actors and some big time horror in the form of a little space creep called Calvin. Its very unsettling. But our conversations on these two movies is as fun as can be...

2017-06-1628 minNow and Then Movie PodcastS2E14 - Mud and Cop CarIts a coming-of-age story kind of episode, where shoot outs are an essential part of growing up. We review Mud (2012) and Cop Car (2015) where the central stories revolve around young boys stumbling into dangerous conflicts between adults. Both are movies that are worth watching and have stories that we haven't all seen a million times already. Both films have similar hallmarks of being told from the vantage point of children, and stripped down, uncomplicated stories. Each has a star to carry the film, but these films themselves have all they need to be something worthy of your collection and...

We marvel at how more people don't know that these movies go together. We posit that Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film works well as a prequel to the 2016 Benedict Cumberbatch vehicle. Pocket Universes, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Tilda Swinton. We talk about all of it!

In Live By Night (2016) we see Affleck as Joe Coughlin, a criminal bent on revenge, starting in the 1920's during prohibition. Hard cut to South Florida. Big movie with a lot going on... We have thoughts. We compare to The Town (2010) directed and staring Affleck again as a criminal in Boston. A more compact story with Affleck as a bank robber named Doug MacRay. One we think is great and one we think is okay. Listen on as Mike and Mike debate and discuss.
