We Just Saw A Movie

In this episode we review Nobody's Fool.  We're not going to sugar coat this one. It sucked.  And try as she might - and believe you me, she tried her damndest and almost made it watchable - even the wonderfully talented and funny Tiffany Haddish couldn't salvage this train wreck.  There was also a crazy guy in the theater who kept responding to the people in the movie as if they were talking to him. We talk to that guy as well. Wish we could have had him on as a guest, but you'll have to settle for Mike's impression of him. 

It's time for Elizabeth to broaden Mike's horizons once again with another anime feature. In this episode we review Spirited Away.  Mike comments on how much the movie's antagonist freaked him out.  Also, the word "Yubaba" is said over and over again. Try saying it yourself. It's a blast. 

Enjoy hearing this episode of Trailer Talk discussing a Tyler Perry Madea movie. You can be damn sure you're not going to get an episode on the entire movie.  In this episode, Mike breaks down the trailer for Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral. He talks about the movie HE would make - and rest assured, it's wildly different than what we ended up with.  Tyler Perry, if you're listening: let us know if you still want to make this happen. It's not too late. 

In this episode we review The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. The one thing this movie has going for it? More realms than most.  It's unclear who this movie was supposed to appeal to, but we do our best to figure out why it got made. We also dive into a bit more talk on Bohemian Rhapsody. 

For WEEKS, Mike's been banging on the "Let's do a Trailer Talk about Widows" door. Finally, Elizabeth relents and let him in.  Check out our latest episode of Trailer Talk, where we review the trailer for windows. Per usual, we get off track and end up talking about a bunch of other stuff including whether or not Michelle Rodriguez is a jerk in real life. In case you're wondering, neither of us offers a solid conclusion on that front. 

Bohemian Rhapsody exceeded all expectations at the box office in its opening weekend, but how was it?  In this episode we revie the Freddie Mercury biopic starring the great Rami Malek.  We also give a mini-review of an AMC Dolby theater for you movie theater nerds out there. 

Halloween may be over, but that didn't stop us from reviewing another Halloween-adjacent movie. In this episode we review The Craft.  Why exactly did the last act make Mike so angry? Do movie witches worship Satan? Is Elizabeth in fact a witch? All these questions - and more - answered in today's episode! 

Happy Halloween everybody! We're back with a review of a Halloween classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas.  Neither of us have seen this one before so we caught it on a re-release in theaters. How does it hold up after 25 years since it premiered? Smash that play button to find out what we thought.  We also debate whether it's a Christmas or Halloween movie and tell a quick tale about the teens in our theater who had clearly been trying to sneak into another movie. 

Liam Neeson as a revenge-crazed Dad using a snow plow to kill bad guys? Please, take our money.  In today's episode we review the trailer for Cold Pursuit, the latest in the long line of movies where Liam Neeson uses a particular set of skills to take out a bunch of bad guys. In this one, his particular skill is using a snow plow to kill people.  Yes, you read that right. 

We're back with a review of Hunter Killer, the new submarine/Navy SEAL action movie produced by and starring Gerard Butler. In this episode we break down the movie and also talk about Gerard's place as a first ballot We Just Saw A Movie Hall of Famer. 

This past Saturday, the web series Mike wrote and produced called "Mike Works From Home" screened as part of the Chelsea Film Festival. Mike and Elizabeth were on hand at the AMC Loews 34th St. theater in Manhattan to take in the festivities. In this episode we talk about the experience of seeing Mike on the big screen, the festival's filmmaker Q&A, and what it might be like if Mike runs into someone on a movie set that he previously trashed on the podcast.  Check out Mike Works From Home at Mike's website: https://mikeeltringham.com/mike-works-from-home

In this episode Mike reviews David Gordon Green's Halloween, the sequel to the 1978 version of...Halloween. He talks about his bad theater seat location, his theory on why Michael Myers was sent to kill (it has to do with murdering podcast hosts), and what kind of Groupon deal Laurie Strode must have gotten on self-defense dummies. 

In this episode we're reviewing Free Solo, the critically acclaimed documentary about free solo climber Alex Hannold. We also give an in-depth review of the rude ladies who sat next to us. Their obnoxiousness made us want to jump off the side of El Capitan with no harness. 

In our latest episode we answer a lot of BIG questions.  Does Jason Clarke's chin appear to be shot in 3-D even when it wasn't?  Was the moon landing faked?  Was this movie actually shot on the moon?  We tell you all that and more in our review of Damien Chazelle's First Man. We also tell you about our awesome buffer zone in an IMAX theater and sick aisle seats, which for some reason people don't prefer to sitting in the center. We'll never understand why. 

We love our fans.  We love giving you guys reviews of new movies and trailer each week. Sometimes funny, always honest.  In this episode we do something a little different.  In today's episode, we let you listen in while we sign up for AMC A-List memberships. What is that, you ask? And why would anyone want to listen to two people on their phones for 15 minutes?  As always...download the episode to find out!
