Mind Your Movies

This week, we are tackling the iconic and confrontational films of John Waters. We've got one film from his early, micro-budget era with "Female Trouble" from 1974, starring the drag queen Divine, and one film from his more mainstream, Hollywood era with "Serial Mom" from 1994. There is a surprising amount of similarities here between these two films, and we had a blast breaking down the themes, motifs, and stories between the two. What's your favorite John Waters film?Find us elsewhere online...email: mindyourmoviespodcast@gmail.comLetterboxd: https://boxd.it/bfj3DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindyourmoviespodcastBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/mindyourmovies.bsky.socialSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CNC8Z3vhTU4vrZqQvu7gQ?si=lsx3bfN-TweulWsiE1tekQ&nd=1&dlsi=2be1d2d675164b1fApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-your-movies/id1770671814Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/90b476c5-c477-4af6-b330-a0abcc59d013/mind-your-movies#podcast #movies #moviepodcast #mindyourmovies #filmlovers #film #johnwaters #serialmom #slashers #horrormovies #microbudget #divine #dragqueen #femaletrouble

The summer blockbuster season has started early, and it started with a bang! Based on the novel by Andy Weir (The Martian) and starring Ryan Gosling, Project Hail Mary is an exciting, funny, and gorgeous Sci-Fi popcorn flick that is worth watching in IMAX if you can! It is blowing away the box office, and it is truly a wonderful film to watch! Join us as we break down what we loved about it and the ins and outs of the movie.

This week, we've got a lot to cover! We start out the episode discussing the Oscars and our predictions (including who won this year's predictions), then we move into our main features—Marcel the Shell with Shoes On and Mind Game. Marcel the Shell is the iconic stop-motion/live-action mixed media movie that features a faux documentarian (played by the director, Dean Fleischer Camp) helping Marcel find his family. It's heartfelt, suprisingly charming, and technically very impressive.Mind Game is the animation/live action mixed media movie by director Masaaki Yuasa that blends in human faces into the animation styles and utilizes multiple forms of animation to tell the story of a few people who end up having to live in a whale for a while. It's a unique story that is highly acclaimed by those who've seen it (100% Rotten Tomato critics score).Find us elsewhere online...email: mindyourmoviespodcast@gmail.comLetterboxd: https://boxd.it/bfj3DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindyourmoviespodcastBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/mindyourmovies.bsky.socialSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CNC8Z3vhTU4vrZqQvu7gQ?si=lsx3bfN-TweulWsiE1tekQ&nd=1&dlsi=2be1d2d675164b1fApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-your-movies/id1770671814Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/90b476c5-c477-4af6-b330-a0abcc59d013/mind-your-movies#podcast #movies #moviepodcast #mindyourmovies #animation #filmlovers #film #marceltheshell #mixedmedia #stopmotion #mindgame

Today, we are exploring who will win what awards! Last year, Shane came out on top with seven more points than Ryan, but who will have the strongest predictions this year? Will Sinners sweep? Will One Battle After Another take everything it can? What about the best animated feature of the year? Or the best documentary feature? What are you hoping wins this year?

We are here to tackle one of the most iconic animation studios, focusing in on two Brad Bird directed movies that hold a high standing in the critical space. From the exciting and family-centric superhero action-adventure movie, The Incredibles, to the rat-chef art-focused movie, Ratatouille, we are diving into all of the small details. Pixar is a long-beloved studio that has a wide range of movies for folks to enjoy, but what are your favorites?Find us elsewhere online...email: mindyourmoviespodcast@gmail.comLetterboxd: https://boxd.it/bfj3DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindyourmoviespodcastBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/mindyourmovies.bsky.socialSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CNC8Z3vhTU4vrZqQvu7gQ?si=lsx3bfN-TweulWsiE1tekQ&nd=1&dlsi=2be1d2d675164b1fApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-your-movies/id1770671814Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/90b476c5-c477-4af6-b330-a0abcc59d013/mind-your-movies#podcast #movies #moviepodcast #mindyourmovies #pixar #filmlovers #film #pixarstudios #animation #theincredibles #ratatouille #disney

This week, we are breaking down upcoming movies for the Spring/Summer cycle. We discuss what we are most excited about, what theatrical releases we are determined to see, the big blockbusters, the hidden gems, the under-the-radar hits, the ones we know so little about, and so much more! We begin by picking our five most anticipated movies each, ranging in genre from pretty much anything you can think of, there is great stuff coming out for everyone! But, we are most interested in what you are most excited about in the coming months! What will you be watching?

This week, we are exploring the Marvel side of movies, starting where it (kind of) all began with the vampire slaying Blade trilogy from the 90s and early 2000s, and bringing us all the way to the outerspace, counter-Earth venturing Guardians of the Galaxy in their trilogy finale. From one of the earliest pre-MCU movies of Marvel superheroes to one of the best-received MCU movies, we have a lot to discuss in this episode!Find us elsewhere online...email: mindyourmoviespodcast@gmail.comLetterboxd: https://boxd.it/bfj3DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindyourmoviespodcastBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/mindyourmovies.bsky.socialSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CNC8Z3vhTU4vrZqQvu7gQ?si=lsx3bfN-TweulWsiE1tekQ&nd=1&dlsi=2be1d2d675164b1fApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-your-movies/id1770671814Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/90b476c5-c477-4af6-b330-a0abcc59d013/mind-your-movies#podcast #movies #moviepodcast #mindyourmovies #marvel #filmlovers #film #marvelstudios #jamesgunn #blade #gotgvol3 #marvelmovies

This week, we are looking at some HUGE budget movies with the Wachowskis' Speed Racer from 2008 and Christopher Nolan's Tenet from 2020. Both of which served as a sort of blank check movie for the director's after their previous successes with their prior movies. However, neither of these made equally great success as their directors' previous movies. Still, we are glad we dove into them and there was certainly a lot to talk about with these very unique movies.Find us elsewhere online...email: mindyourmoviespodcast@gmail.comLetterboxd: https://boxd.it/bfj3DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindyourmoviespodcastBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/mindyourmovies.bsky.socialSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CNC8Z3vhTU4vrZqQvu7gQ?si=lsx3bfN-TweulWsiE1tekQ&nd=1&dlsi=2be1d2d675164b1fApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-your-movies/id1770671814Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/90b476c5-c477-4af6-b330-a0abcc59d013/mind-your-movies#podcast #movies #moviepodcast #mindyourmovies #tenetmovie #filmlovers #film #christophernolan #bigbudgetmovie #action #hollywoodactor #speedracer

We are back this week with Sam Raimi's newest movie and his return to the horror genre! Send Help is a blast and we highly recommend watching it -- we will discuss the movie without spoilers for a good portion of this episode since it is just coming out, then we jump into spoiler-heavy discussions on our thoughts about the whole movie.

This week, we are diving into all things Jackie Chan! We jumped into one of his earliest starring roles that helped him break out into the mainstream in 1978, "Drunken Master," directed by Yuen Woo-ping, where he mixed the martial arts and comedy genres to fuse them into a cohesive subgenre that exploded into popularity as a result. His mainstream appeal further catapulted him to success, such that he directed the first two Police Story movies. For the third movie, which Stanley Tong directed, his stunt work, comedy, and action propelled it into success, such that it received an American release in 1996.

It is time we finally talked about the movie taking everyone by storm, Marty Supreme! Josh Safdie's newest movie starring Timothée Chalamet as the titular Marty, who believes he is destined to be, well, Supreme. It is a movie with a lot of attention, a lot of discussion, and a lot of critical speculation right now, especially with the award season ready to kick off. What did you think of this one?

Wrapping up the holiday season with a few recent holiday watches, we are then jumping into our "crossover franchise" episode! This week, we are taking a close look at Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster and The Monster Squad. Ghidorah is the fifth installment in the Ishirō Honda Godzilla and Kaiju film universe that lives on in spirit today with Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) and Godzilla Minus One (2023), but began with the original and classic Godzilla (1954). By the time of Ghidorah, the series was wacky and goofy while still holding onto some of its allegorical meaning, but it is certainly divisive. Meanwhile, The Monster Squad mashes together a band of Universal monsters and a Goonies-like squad of teenagers who need to fight them off in a surprisingly early post-modern meta monster flick that is drenched in 80s tropes and style!What do you think of these crossovers?Find us elsewhere online...email: mindyourmoviespodcast@gmail.comLetterboxd: https://boxd.it/bfj3DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindyourmoviespodcastBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/mindyourmovies.bsky.socialSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CNC8Z3vhTU4vrZqQvu7gQ?si=lsx3bfN-TweulWsiE1tekQ&nd=1&dlsi=2be1d2d675164b1fApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-your-movies/id1770671814Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/90b476c5-c477-4af6-b330-a0abcc59d013/mind-your-movies#podcast #movies #moviepodcast #mindyourmovies

Merry Christmas! It is our Christmas Day episode, where we are recommending our favorite Christmas movies from our childhoods and adult lives, which we hope can bring you some cheer at the end of the year.

This week, we are excited to dive into two movies that eventually got remade. We aren't talking about the remakes much here, focusing instead on the quality and breakdown of the original movies. First, we talk about the cult favorite sci-fi anime, "Ghost in the Shell", then we look at the iconic action movie, "Point Break". Both came out in the 90s and got remakes in the 2010s, and both are substantially better than their remade counterparts!

This week, we took a deep dive into two of the highest-grossing movies of all time! The list (not adjusted for inflation) is full of remakes, reboots, franchises, and mostly post-2000 movies, so we picked two that we felt fit the bill just right. Lilo and Stitch is the live-action/CGI hybrid remake of the 2002 classic, and it grossed over a billion dollars worldwide. It is part of a wider trend of remaking classic Disney movies using a hyper-realistic CGI style. Meanwhile, Venom was the long-awaited movie from the Sony-owned Marvel properties that grossed over 800 million dollars and rounded out with two sequels so far.

This week, we are exploring some of the most obscure movies on Letterboxd, only looking at movies with fewer than a thousand views. We each picked one that we had some high hopes for, and we get the chance here to break down our thoughts in full! This includes the campy Welsh horror movie from 1975, "Blood on the Stars", and the Gabe Kaplan starring basketball movie from later that decade, "Fast Break".

This week, we are excited to jump into Yorgos Lanthimos' new film, Bugonia, which just hit theaters! It is a wild ride, but we also visited the original story it's based on, Jang Joon-hwan's "Save the Green Planet!" from 2003. We spend a good amount of time discussing them without spoilers so that everyone can decide if they want to join us for our full spoiler discussion after watching the movies. Then, we explore the filmmaking, the differences, the acting, the eras, and the stories of these two unique films (including Shane's theory on an important and divisive part of Bugonia!).
