Meanwhile, Mike D is talking PRIMATE, MERCY, MEL BROOKS: THE 99-YEAR-OLD MAN, and more!
It's time to return to Season 3 - Michelle Yeoh plays five different roles in a new short film centered on the night market in Penang, so of course we had to talk about it! ANORA and THE FLORIDA PROJECT director Sean Baker teams up with Yeoh to shine a light on a part of Malaysian culture rarely seen on film.
The results are in and the people have spoken - The Complete Works Season 5 will be about the films of Elijah Wood! Mike and Mike take a little time to look back on the poll and get ready for the season ahead!
This week, the mercurial icon and the voice of your generation Charley Macorn returns to the podcast for a Guest Makes Mikes Watch! And it' s a fun one - Charley is making the Mikes watch the 2000 camp classic PSYCHO BEACH PARTY, a pastiche of '50s beach movies and '80s slasher movies featuring Lauren Ambrose, Amy Adams, Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Aunt Zelda from Sabrina the Teenage Witch and more!
It's time for another Mike Makes Mike Watch! This week, Smith is making Mike D catch up with THE BEEKEEPER (so that he's prepared for Timo Tjahanto's upcoming sequel!), while Mike D is making Smith cross an action classic off his list, the movie that pushed Eddie Murphy into superstardom, Walter Hill's 48 HRS!
The poll for The Complete Works Season 5 is now live! Head to BlueSky to determine whether we'll be covering Benicio del Toro, Elijah Wood, Kristen Stewart, or Philip Seymour Hoffman in our upcoming season. The poll will close on February 16th!
It's time for an Off Mike Discussions episode! This week, most of Mike D's time has been occupied by the video game CAIRN, while Smith is watching new releases like SEND HELP, PRIMATE, and THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. We also talk new TV like THE PITT, WONDER MAN, SHRINKING, and A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS!
It's that time again - Mike and Mike are working to figure out who will be the subject of The Complete Works Season 5! In this episode, both Mikes introduce 5 nominees that they think would make for a compelling season of the podcast. After all 10 arguments have been made, we then whittle the names down until we're left with four finalists. And then, it will be up to YOU, the listener, to let us know which of those four finalists should be our winner - the poll goes live on BlueSky on February 9th, but you can hear the names for the first time right here!
It's time for the first Mike Makes Mike Watch of 2026! And to kick things off, it's a weird double feature: Mike D is making Smith watch a movie that had a stranglehold on '90s kids, FREE WILLY, while Smith is making Mike D watch David Lynch's surrealist nightmare LOST HIGHWAY!
It's time to check into THE BONE TEMPLE! Since we covered Danny Boyle's 28 YEARS LATER when it was released all the way back in June (and it made Mike D's Top 10 list in our Year-in-Review episode), we felt it was only right to cover the next chapter. Nia DaCosta directs, Alex Garland writes, and Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell lead 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE!
It's that time again - Mike and Mike are looking back on the year in film that was 2025! They'll be counting down their Top 10 Films of the Year, then they'll be counting down their Top 10 discoveries of the year, and THEN they'll be counting down their Top 5 most-anticipated films of 2026! And in the process, they'll be breaking their own record for Longest. Episode. Ever. Special thanks to Kyle Cullen, Producer Collin, Mike Emmons, Vin Craig, Nick Wermuth, Josh Quick, Courtney Blazon, Larkin Matoon, Daniel Morgan, and Charley Macorn for their contributions to this episode!
It's time for another Off Mike Discussions episode! As both Mikes try to catch up on a few more 2025 movies before their big Year in Review episode (next week!), Smith is talking movies like JAY KELLY, MEGADOC, MARTY SUPREME, and HAMNET, while Mike D is talking JIMMY AND STIGGS, IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU, and SHELBY OAKS. Plus, Smith has some thoughts on the final season of STRANGER THINGS!
You thought we'd get out of 2025 without at least one more Nicolas Cage movie? You were wrong! This time around, Nicolas Cage stars in THE CARPENTER'S SON, a film loosely based on the childhood of Jesus Christ, framed as a horror movie. Featuring Cage as Joseph (aka The Carpenter), Noah Jupe as Jesus (aka The Boy), and FKA Twigs as Mary (aka The Mother).
It's time for the Annual In-Person Episode! Mike Smith is back in New York for the holidays, meaning he and Mike D were able to meet up to record in person and talk at length about AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, joined by podcast mainstays Kyle Cullen and Producer Collin! We also talk a little WAKE UP DEAD MAN and speculate on AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY too, while we're at it!
It's time for another Off Mike Discussions episode! This week, both Mikes have plenty of thoughts on KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR.

It's time for the final Mike Makes Mike Watch of the year! And they're getting into the holiday spirit as Smith makes Mike D reconnect with family in Wes Anderson's THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, while Mike D makes Smith check out John Frankenheimer's Christmas-set action thriller DEAD BANG!
It's time for Part 2 of one of the biggest Complete Works events in history, where two of our subjects are in the same movie together! Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh both return to their roles from last year's WICKED as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Madame Morrible alongside Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and more! It's time for us to talk about WICKED: FOR GOOD!
This week, we're bringing back Music Supervisor Kyle Cullen to finally fulfill something we've been saying we'd do for years... make him watch the TERMINATOR movies! You see, Kyle's never seen them, and with a new AVATAR coming out, we figured this was the perfect excuse to revisit some James Cameron favorites!
