Latest Episodes

Shut Up Tim Ahlin is back to discuss Blue Giamatti and a remake masquerading as a sequel. Welcome to Muniz (slash Dan Schneider I guess?) Month.

Matty joins Daniel to catch up with a tiresome new Mortal Kombat entry and the occasionally delightful new Toy Story. Bonus interview with Fiona Smyth and Zoey Smyth, Daniel's twin nieces.

The great Matty Ragz finally makes his first main show appearance to discuss the last two Renny Harlin Strangers movies starring that girl from Riverdale.

Daniel and Tim discuss such worthy topics as Chili Palmer's catchphrases and late-career Aerosmith. Plus, Henry texts in!

  • A Dope Podcast

    Great film podcast with a very funny, extremely clever, and bluntly honest duo of dudes trying to find needles in this haystack we call life.

Love if you did the Strangers but Greenland is okay too I guess.

  • Amazing!

    I stopped listening to the pod over three years ago due to the change of host from Henry to Logan. I found Logan to be very naive about movies and seemed to side with Daniel on how to rate and rank movies. I spent the last six months catching up on what I had missed, and while Logan does still seem to agree with Daniel or kowtow to Daniel’s every whim, I do think Logan has learned more about movies than he used to and is better at hosting than how it was at the beginning. It also does seem like ... more

  • Best movie podcast

    As someone who listens to way too many podcasts, this one stands out as my absolute favorite. I’ve been a loyal listener for years, and whether it’s an OG, reboot, or even a ‘requel,’ these guys have every movie franchise covered. The hosts are entertaining, funny, and knowledgeable—without ever slipping into the pretentious movie-snob vibe that turns me off in other shows. They just come across as genuinely good people who love what they do. I also highly recommend their Patreon: for just $5 a ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Bourne Ultimatum | The Bourne Legacy
Q: What's your assessment of the performance of the main actors in The Bourne Legacy?
While Renner seemed to do well, the overall character development felt weak compared to the original trilogy.
The Bourne Ultimatum | The Bourne Legacy
Q: What do you think of the direction taken by Treadstone?
It diminishes the achievements of the characters in the first one, as it seems like there are multiple new programs that keep getting introduced.
The Bourne Ultimatum | The Bourne Legacy
Q: What do you think about Jeremy Renner as a lead in this franchise?
I think casting Jeremy Renner in Bourne Legacy was a mistake; he's too much like a Bobo Matt Damon.
Captain America: The First Avenger | Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Q: How did the characters develop in this series?
The friendship between Captain America and Falcon is beautifully developed, showcasing growth and camaraderie.
Captain America: The First Avenger | Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Q: What did you think about Captain America: The Winter Soldier?
I think it's one of the best MCU movies, a really compelling and action-packed film.
