Will's about to go on vacation for a week, and is obsessed with the Illini right now anyway, so we dig into three movies the best we can. First, it's the hipster horror flick "They Will Kill You." Then the French body horror thriller "Alpha." And we ... more
It's the biggest hit of the year so far, and it's original (or at least based on an original book): It's Ryan Gosling in "Project Hail Mary." One of us likes it more than the other. Also, we discuss the horror sequel "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" as ... more
The Oscars happened! Tim and Will wrapup "One Battle After Another"'s big night, right after the show ended. Also, we discuss the new A24 horror film "undertone." Then, in our Reboot section, we dig into Martin Scorsese's "Casino," for 1995.

We've got two pretty big new movies this week: It's the wild Jessie Buckley-Christian Bale mashup "The Bride!" and then the new Pixar movie, "Hoppers." Lots going on there! In both!
And then, because the Oscars are Sunday, we make our predictions i... more

Your mileage may vary with this film podcast. Most episodes only review one or two new releases and they are pretty in depth. Unfortunately there are no longer time stamps to guide your listening experience.
So much of the beginning and end of the podcast is discussions of their personal lives, politics (ugh) or the “discourse” around a film.
I first found the Grierson and Leitch podcast thanks to a recommendation from the great Keith Law. I’ve listened every week since. I moved to Japan 10 years ago, and while I try to catch every non-dubbed movie I can, I miss too many of the movies I want to see. The podcast helps me enjoy all the films I can and can’t see on a whole other level. Listening each week feels like old times for me - watching a bunch of movies and then chatting about it over a beer with my buddies.

I’ve been listening to Will & Tim talk about movies since the Deadspin days. It’s the only podcast I don’t skip because I always enjoy hearing them discuss that week’s new releases, and I really appreciate learning about smaller movies I’d otherwise miss.
My movie request is 1997’s CURE by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. I saw it for the first time recently and became obsessed. A fascinating thriller that really rewards a rewatch.
Please reboot review To live and die in LA
Gonna try to game the algorithm by hitting a bunch of random buzz words in my review:
Great podcast! So sexy! Grierson and Leitch SLAM problematic discourse around Timothée Chalamet and Blake Lively. Five stars, so hot!
(But seriously, this podcast is fantastic, and I’d love for them to reboot Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz)
