I Like To Movie Movie

Garrett and Dan sit down to discuss the films of 2014, thus far. Per usual, Dan has seen a lot, Garrett has seen a few, and first time guest Mike Logan has zero movies in 2014. The real good news about this episode is that Garrett finally gets his Spider Man rant recorded, so you'll never have to hear about that again. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/moviemoviecast/support

Dan and Garrett are joined by actress Jenna Kuerzi to talk about Quentin Tarantino's contribution to Grindhouse, Deathproof. Cars, women, psychopaths, and feet make for one hell of a fun movie movie, whether it all hangs together as one of his greats or not. Whatver people's opinions of Deathproof may be, it's well worth takling about and full of excellent filmmaking. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/moviemoviecast/support

Garrett and Dan are joined by Aaron Nevins and Chris O'Connor to discuss one of Jim Jarmusch's early films, Stranger Than Paradise. In a sprawling conversation longer than the film itself, they cover the work of PT Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, and Edgar Wright, and meander their way to topics like scent technologies of the future and the pulled porkinization of America, all while trying to make sense of the assured boredom put on display by Jarmusch. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/moviemoviecast/support

Dan and Garrett attempt to unpack their complicated feelings about Wes Anderson as they talk about their favorite of his filmography, Rushmore. While some of Anderson's other films might seem more fitting of Movie Movie status, Rushmore balances his sense of style with a slightly more grounded world populated with slightly more believable characters than his other films. In doing so Anderson creates his funniest, most rewatchable film. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/moviemoviecast/support

Garrett hadn't seen it yet, but Dan was so high on Captain America: The Winter Soldier, they had to talk Superhero films.

Garrett and Dan sit down to chat about Joe Cornish's debut film as writer/director, Attack The Block with their first ever guest, Philadelphia comedian Pete Steele. Attack The Block is easily one of the most movie-movie movie-movie's we've watched, employing show don't tell, economy of script, character centric storytelling, and practical effects to tell a Spielberg influenced, coming of age story that is both humerous and action packed. It also uses its setting to touch on some more serious social economics, giving this fun, funny movie an underlying message that is worth unpacking and discussing. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/moviemoviecast/support
