Every time Sam and Ian review an under-the-radar movie on this show, we read the distributor’s own stylized plot description—likely drafted by a team of marketing professionals—before providing our own. And oftentimes, the PR language from the studio fails to accurately describe the movie, leading us to believe we watched something totally different. This week, we decided to really play that up in our version of Brass Monkey’s “Poorly Explained Movies Game.’Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

Today, we’re rewinding the tape to Munich, 1972, on the 53rd anniversary of “the decisive moment that forever changed media coverage and continues to impact live news today.” It’s a story of sport turned spectacle, where broadcasters became first responders and one billion people watched history unfold live. Grab your headsets and roll camera. It’s the day terror went live. It’s Tim Fehlbaum’s 94-minute bullet train about media ethics titled September 5.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

This week, Nicolas Cage is The Surfer. But don’t let that fool you. He’s still unhinged, bloody, tense, gun-wielding, manic, fabulously bonkers, and gayly attacking locals with tire irons, rats, and assorted signage. He’s a weirdo losing his shit. Shock! It’s Lorcan Finnigan’s The Surfer.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

This week, we are jumping on the bandwagon because it’s become impossible to ignore. I can’t believe I am saying this, we are profiling Netflix’s new smash hit, KPop Demon Hunters. This PG-rated animated film has tapped into one of the globe’s most profitable crazes, captured audiences of all ages, generated nearly 200 million views, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart—in a matter of weeks. Stay “Golden,” and take a listen.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

This week, we really turn up the octane with a solemn contemplation of terminal disease, broken families, the climate crisis, and death with dignity alongside two of Hollywood’s palest women. It’s Pedro AlmoDOvar’s The Room Next Door. Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media

You've gotten to know Sam and Ian over the last six seasons of Time Sensitive, and by now, it should be clear what we do and don't like. Well, now we are forcing each other to embrace those things that we don’t like, as we continue a series called “Forced to Watch.” This week, Ian is forced to watch Jorma Taccone's MacGruber. Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

Everybody loves a heist movie, and this week, we root for lovers on the run in a wild ride modern Bonnie & Clyde story, evoking the 90s heist aesthetic, with a BigPharma twist. It’s Marmalade, written and directed by Keir O’Donnell. Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

Time Sensitive has a special episode for you this week to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the theatrical release of Jaws. That’s right, this episode drops on June 20, 2025, fifty years TO THE DATE of the movie that revolutionized cinema, introduced the summer blockbuster, and to this day, still makes audiences afraid to go in the water.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

To paraphrase Shakespeare, “It is a tale told by three idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” “So shall you hear of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts, of accidental judgments, casual slaughters, of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause. And, in this upshot, purposes mistook, fallen on the inventors’ heads.” It’s Grand Theft Hamlet, the COVID-initated, machinima documentary written and directed by Sam Crane and Pilly Grylls.

This week, we’re peeling off prosthetics, unpacking identity crises, and trying really hard not to cast our friends in plays about their own trauma. Is it satire? Is it horror? Is it a giant metaphor about who gets to tell whose story? Yes. That’s right—we’re pulling up a chair at one of the most uncomfortable dinner scenes we’ve seen since Hereditary as we dive into A Different Man, the 2024 surreal psychological dramedy written and directed by Aaron Schimberg.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

Bon jour, and welcome to the show. Ian is currently wearing a voluminous outfit that both hinders the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicates seating in the theater, and Sam is currently nude, as we protest the new Cannes dress code, rub shoulders with honorary Palme D’Or winners Robert De Niro and Denzel Washington, and dodge falling palm trees as we celebrate the 78th Cannes Film Festival.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

This week, we’re going Dutch… Well, sort of. The original spec script describes it as a “Hitchock-ian style thriller with black humor.” However, much like the titular town, in the words of its lead character Nancy Vangergroot, this movie is “like carbon dioxide. It’s so sleepy and comfortable, and you won’t even know you’re suffocating.” It’s Mimi Cave’s Holland.

You are joining us for another perennial favorite here on Time Sensitive. At the end of nearly every episode, we ask our guest hosts a simple question: What are you into? Even though this sounds like a sexual invitation (it mostly isn’t), we ask our guests to focus on a movie, book, album, game, podcast, or pop culture subject they are currently enjoying. But no one ever asks Sam and Ian what they are into, so we have decided to devote a whole episode to our own pop culture proclivities.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

It’s a subject we’ve covered many times on the pod with reviews of You Were Never Really Here, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot, Bacurau, Promising Young Woman, Pig, Vengeance, and of course, Do Revenge. How could we forget Thelma? We have even covered a revenge flick set in India with the triumphant RRR. Needless to say, it’s a subject we know and love, but few revenge movies come as sexy and stylish as Dev Patel’s Monkey Man.
