Down To Watch

Dan and Raul blast to the past to discuss the first title in their new "Essential 80's" film series, and so it begins with this very cult action movie.  We all know the line, "There can be only ONE", but does this film deserve the cult status it has received?  Listen ahead to find out!   More 80's film discussions are coming, too! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtopod/message

Dan and Raul discuss the brand new Amazon original show, Good Omens! Even if you are more of a demon than an angel there is plenty of holy water to go around as we tackle this series of 6 episodes, which has one of the best casts in recent memory and visually continues to show us how great and cinematic TV can be! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

Dan and Raul discuss two new pilots for shows that just came out. We decided even though Swamp Thing, the new 10 episode live-action show from DC (episodes available weekly on their own DC-Universe streaming platform) has been cancelled, we still wanted to discuss this show that was already getting very good early reviews. Also the new show on AMC, NOS4A2 has just come out and seemed right up our alley as well, so we wanted to share our thoughts on both of these new series. Listen ahead to see if we will find these series worth continuing to watch in the future! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

Down to Watch In Theaters time again with the long awaited sequel to the groundbreaking original, it's Blade Runner 2049! Between film nerdiness and sci fi geekiness there's plenty for conversation but was the movie a hit with the hosts or should this franchise be retired? Like how replicants get retired! In case that wasn't clear... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

Down to Watch watched mother!, and... well, had somewhat differing experiences. This is one of those bonkers movies that polarize audiences and get critics and film geeks to pay attention. This episode of the podcast tries to understand what this film's intentions were and whether they pulled it off, with the expected tangents and trivia... so good luck with this one! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

So grab some McDowell's to munch on and put your SoulGlo in, and find out if this all time classic lives up to the hype and nostalgia we all remember! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message

DtW comes at you like a spider-monkey this week with our throwback movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby! This was an instant classic when it came out, but do Will Ferrell's race car antics have staying power over a decade later? Down to Watch certainly has opinions when it comes to shaking and baking, putting evils upon people and the career of the magic man himself, Mike Honcho. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/downtocast/message
