Description
Critics and the rest of the world have gotten too negative. We, like you, just want to find new movies and enjoy meaningful stories. If you struggle to separate the movies you love from the Hollywood machine, or can't enjoy the characters you relate to while ignoring the celebrities trying to ruin it, we are here to help! We really, really like movies. Doesn't matter if they're classics or so-bad-they're-good, from blockbusters to hidden gem indie films - we're all about sharing the variety that we like, in hopes of helping you find that perfect movie to fall in love with.

I told you I'd make Dustin watch this - and boy did it pay off! I know it's probably a bad podcasting idea to cover a movie no one saw and that the director pulled from all distribution channels... HOWEVER I just saw you can stream MEGALOPOLIS on Apple TV+ right now! So get a free trial and check it out because you will want at least some context for this episode. We dig into all the characters played by spectacular actors and how badly wasted Dustin Hoffman was. We try to explain the fable and allegory as best it makes sense. And we struggle to fathom how a movie about America has zero grasp of what it is or was (or really Rome, for that matter). There are interesting things that worked, and more that should work on paper, so it's complicated and definitely an interesting discussion. Lots to dig into, and we want to hear your takes as well. Leave a voicemail or shoot us a text: +1(724)4-BONERZBefore that, we need to spin for another random movie because we can't find one of the 10 picked last episode. Then Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of The Naked Gun (2025), The Thursday Murder Club, and revisiting Ben Hur. Jake shares thoughts after seeing Together, Primitive War, and Unknown Number: The High School Catfish.----Special thank you to Alan Hlavacek and Travis Mason from Attack on Venus for the sick theme music!

There are quite a few directors who absolutely blew the doors off with their first feature film. We have been combing through and tried to find our favorites to try to create the most powerful teams of debut films. We also spin ten random movies we should all watch within the next six weeks (find more details about where to watch on Instagram). And finally, it took five years and tens of dozens of episodes, but after a comedy of errors Jake finally breaks down in the most ridiculous and uncontrollable giggle fit just trying to make technology work. I considered taking it out, but I've left in all Dustin's bloopers over the years, so I guess I was due. Sorry.Before that, Dustin gives his first impressions of after seeing Weapons and The Tom Green Documentary. Jake has just watched the first season of The Hunting Wives, the renewed season 14 of King of the Hill, the first episode of MobLand (finally) and as promised, Citizen Kane.Have thoughts about the episode?

August 11th marks eleven years since the world lost Robin Williams, and the possibility of more performances in the future. But the legacy he left is a rich and diverse one. We do our best to touch on as much as we can, touching on all the fan favorites and also many underappreciated gems that time seems to have lost. We discuss his unique comedy, his knack for drama, and his very convincing villain run. And yes, Jake has finally watched Death to Smoochy. We watched a lot of new Robin Williams movies, but before that, Dustin shares spoiler-free first impressions of Fantastic Four: First Steps and Final Destination: Bloodlines. Jake gives a summary of two shows: Your Friends & Neighbors and Untamed. Then we both watched Until Dawn and of course Happy Gilmore 2.Have thoughts about the episode?

This episode we invite our good friend James to make his feature episode debut! As a reformed Film Snob, he brings great insight, curiosity, and as always tons of fun as we discuss both the practicality and pitfalls of mainstream pretentious critics. When we're on topic, we discuss the role professional movie critics play in audience reception. We also debate if the role of critic is still relevant (or if they ever were), and to what capacity. Perhaps now more than ever the phrase "everybody is a critic" applies, because some of our favorite movies were found ignoring the formal recommendations. When we're sidetracked, we discuss movie going differences between Australia and the States, personal values and parenthood changing our perception, the downfall of movie poster art, and crying during Venom 3, and much, much more!Check out the "I Was A Teenage Film Snob" podcast! James and friends are always having fun and insightful movie discussions, including a growing backlog of interesting industry interviews. https://linktr.ee/filmsnobHave thoughts about the episode?

This episode, we finally return to taping into a full director's filmography (mostly). Guy Ritchie has been crazy busy lately, movies and shows coming out all the time. While some see his career as being very up and down, we review and speculate why the misteps make sense, and why some of his flops deserve more credit than they get. We discuss his original short film: The Hard Case, in addition to Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Swept Away, Revolvr, RocknRolla, Sherlock Holmes & Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Aladdin, The Gentlemen, Wrath of Man, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, The Covenant, and Dustin's favorite movie of 2024 - Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (we only both didn't have time for Fountain of Youth and MobLand). It's also amazing how many times his work should have launched massive franchises, but didn't. We still hold out hope for revivals in the future!Before that, Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of Superman, Sinners, Jurassic World: Rebirth, Minecraft, Risen, and Monster Summer. Jake has watched most of Squid Game season 3 and The Better Sister.Have thoughts about the episode?

For this episode, we try a new type of discussion. After hearing that movies are built on a triangle of art, technology, and business, and that each side impacts the others, we wanted to put that to the test. We invite entrepreneur and old friend of the show Christian to bring the Business angle, while Dustin and Jake champion Art and Tech respectively. There's a lot of pros and cons weighed, and a lot of devil's advocacy against ourselves as well. Definitely a fun and interesting time, and a bigger concept than we had time to completely tackle so let us know what points we missed and we'll continue the conversation in the comments!Before that, the guys give spoiler free first impressions on new stuff they've been watching. Dustin saw Mountainhead. Jake watched Under the Banner of Heaven. Christian is deep into How I Met Your Mother. Then all three discuss a fantastic new short film from Harry Waldman called Enter the Room. Currently in festivals but should be making its way online around the end of this year. Check it out on Letterboxd and IMDbCheck out Christian's social media and very cool new company here: - Custom vinyl pressings @ Tempora.life- Instagram @christian_zavierHave thoughts about the episode?

This episode gets crazy quickly, as one of us took this assignment very seriously and the other... not so much. We to talk about some of the worst film fathers ever put on screen. We also have a ton of new movies to share first impressions: Dustin watched Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Thunderbolts*, Heart Eyes, The Four Seasons, Missing, In a Violent Nature, and YOU (Season 1). While Jake gives his impressions of Black Mirror Season 7, Severance Season 2, Fear Street: Prom Queen, Juror #2, Another Simple Favor, and lots of Keanu with Ana De Armas in Exposed and Knock Knock... plus the Wick is Pain documentary. And the Movie Draft has a major lead change. Oh, and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

John Wick holds such a special place in our hearts, that it's incredible to look back and realize it came so close to never happening so many times. This episode we thank Keanu Reeves for his dedication and for saving and transforming action movies not once, but TWICE! We dive deep into spoilers of all four movies, and try to emphasize the lore and meanings of each character in this high-fantasy world with gritty, real world violence. We also get deep into all the characters and why they work so well, not just because of how they're portrayed, but their deeper mythological meanings as well. And finally, we speculate about the future of this rich world and spinoffs and a confirmed 5th movie abound. We definitely look forward to Ballerina, Caine, and Chapter 5 whatever it ends up being, and despite any fears, have total faith in the creators (as long as they stay attached).Have thoughts about the episode?

After enjoying our first ever Fog Day celebration last year, as April 21st approached again we wanted to take things to the next level. It sounded like a good idea to try the next generation with the remake. That was before we realized it has a 3.7 out of 10 on IMDb. We try our best to make sense of things and see the bright side, but still come away with a ton of questions and so many issues. It's a really fun time though, analyzing how this was made and how it should have been done instead. So sorry if you have to watch this because of us, but it certainly led to a very interesting conversation! Before that, Jake gives spoiler-free first impressions of Too Old to Die Young, Severence season 1, and Sisu. Dustin has only seen The Chosen Season 5. Then we both were asked to check out an indie movie on streaming called Little Miss Sociopath so give our more involved thoughts on that as well. Thanks to the creator Miv Evans for reaching out and sharing her movie!

For the last couple months, we've been struggling to narrow down our top 10 movie directors of all time. Well we think we've done as good as we can do, so join us as we present which ones we feel the most impacted by, and are the most consistently amazing directors working today, and with a long backlog of history defining films. Before that, review three very confusing but very real April Fool's Day movie news. Dustin gives his spoiler-free first impressions of Death of a Unicorn, Trap, Arcadian, House of David, and to complete the universe: finally saw Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter. Jake shares his thoughts after first seeing White Lotus season 3 (all but the finale), This is the Tom Green Documentary, Freddy Got Fingered, Kentucky Fried Movie, 21 Grams, and Shrinking season 2.If you're caught up on podcasts and want more, or just want to support us to make the show better, join the Official Movie Bonerz Fan Club!

Three months in, we finally hold the 2025 Movie Draft, where we try to select (what we hope will be) thirty of the biggest and best movies of the year to our teams. We'll track progress and major matchups throughout the 2025 season, and talk a whole lot of trash. We also recap what went right and what went very wrong for both of us in 2024 and crown a champion who gets to take home the belt! Before that though, Dustin gives spoiler-free initial thoughts on "The Monkey," "Stopmotion," and "Caption America: Brave New World." Jake gives his first impressions after seeing "Alien: Romulus," "Civil War," and of course the new season of "Love is Blind." We also correct the Bond movie news from two eps ago. Then finally, we got to watch a very impressive new short film hitting festivals soon called "Liquor Bank" and share all our thoughts. Thanks to Adam Freed from MovieArcher.com for the opportunity.

At long last, awards season can come to a close! The Movie Bonerz Awards is meant to be the final word on all the madness, and clear up several controversies and snubs the more "household name" shows missed out on. There's a lot they got wrong, and there's a lot we need to set right, so that 2024 can be remembered accurately as the year it was. We put the nominations and votes to you the fans to help decide the winners. We also crown the Best Podcast Guest with the first ever physical Golden Boner trophy. It's an even bigger and more amazing show than last year, with almost 20 special guest presenters putting clips together for the different categories and nominations.

It's good to be back! We've missed you terribly. A lot has happened in the past nearly 5 months, and we've watched a lot of new movies in that time as well. We knock the dust off by sharing spoiler-free thoughts on all the things we've been watching, while teasing some controversial opinions leading up to the 2024 Movie Bonerz Awards next episode.

With Joker: Folie à Deux releasing very soon, we felt it appropriate to revisit one of the best and most different comicbook movies ever made. We analyze what made it such a surprise success, almost as surprising as Todd Phillips completely separating from his comedy roots. We reflect on the story, both as huge Batman/Joker fans, but also just as an iconic film in cinema history for its visual style and the performances within. But I think most importantly, we discuss the portrayal of mental health and the relationship society has with it, as well as the tendency for people in bad situations to find the wrong people to blame and also elect just the worst people to hopefully lead them out of it. Then of course we also share our hopes and dreams (and mainly concerns) about the sequel in advance of its release.
Before that, Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of Hit Man, Under Paris, Night Swim, and Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Jake also saw Hit Man, and randomly shares thoughts on Planes and Perfect Match season 2.

2024 is a big year for LOST fans! The show had a major impact on us individually (possibly more than any other), and also is a huge factor that contributed to us becoming friends in the first place. We tackle the huge challenge of discussing the most amount of content and characters we've ever taken on in an episode. Even though we can't cover everything, we do go through all the high and low points of the vast cast of characters, and the general arcs of each season. SPOILER ALERT! We get into heavy spoilers about Lost (and a little of Game of Thrones). If you still haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and enjoy. It's the kind of show you are guaranteed to not want to stop binging!
Before that, Jake gives spoiler-free first impressions of Trap, The Gift (2015), Confidence (2003), Encanto, Arcadian, and Twisters. Dustin shares thoughts after watching Deadpool & Wolverine a few more times, and also initial opinions about The Bikeriders and Alien: Romulus.

It's the largest movie industry in the world with the most new movies produced every year, and yet, neither of us have ever taken the time to sit and watch one. It was a glaring gap in our Top 10: Foreign Films episode, and we knew we had to make amends. So we found 10 highly-recommended movies spanning different genres, regions, and time periods in Indian cinema history. We were prepared for some foreign language movies but what we got can only be described as culture shock. We learned Bollywood is only a fraction of the industry, and some of these 10 aren't "Bollywood" at all. We learned some history of the country, people, and culture. We picked up on some major movie stars and different long running box office models. We even learned about how to play cricket and avoid taxes. Join us on this journey, and let us know what Indian films we should watch next!
Before that, Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of Deadpool & Wolverine, Lisa Frankenstein, and Love Lies Bleeding. Jake shares thoughts on Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, A Quiet Place: Day One, and his wife pressured him into watching most of Grease.

Our second guest co-host, Alien-lover, and prestigious podcaster: Martin from the Film vs. Film Podcast. We're getting more and more excited for Fede Alvarez to return the Alien franchise to its horror roots, complete with some amazing practical effects. To prepare, we thought we should return to the three movies that come before Romulus in the timeline: Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, and Alien. We try to give you everything you need to remember before seeing the new movie, but also get sucked into the lore, giving stupid characters the benefit of the doubt, and speculating where the new movie will go from here (including a very specific request from Martin about the new crew).
Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of Longlegs, Martin recently saw A Quiet Place: Day One, and Jake just discovered Survivor so hasn't watched anything else.
Thanks so much, Martin, for coming on and sharing your Alien love. Support him and the Film vs. Film Podcast in all the ways! Great dude, and you can find all his socials, as well as his podcast here: https://solo.to/filmvsfilmpodcast

We've got an extremely vengeful episode in store for you! A few people have asked for this over the last year or so, which made us keep bumping it up our backlog of ideas. So glad it's finally here. We bring a ton of movies with a surprising variety of styles and reasons for justifiable vendettas. Some are serious, some are very fun, and a couple can only be described as "insane" in the best way possible.
Before that, Jake shares spoiler-free first impressions of Inside Out 2, The Watchers, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, and the stuntman docuseries ACTION. Dustin has watched Monkey Man, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, A Family Affair, and most of The Boys season 4. We both give extended thoughts on a new short film, currently doing very well in festivals, and coming to streaming this fall: Lizziehead. Watch the trailer on YouTube, learn more on IMDb, or follow M.W. Daniels on Instagram.

For the first time ever, we have a special guest host join us! We know Liz is a great movie fact researcher and loves conspiracy theories, so she was really the only choice for this topic. Fan theories are so exciting because they're another way to share our communal love of these movies, and explore new ways to enjoy them. The three of us take turns sharing and analyzing the most plausible and most divisive fan theories the internet can muster, across all kinds of movies! Follow reviews by Liz & a Movie on Instagram and Letterboxd.
For new things, Dustin gives spoiler-free first impressions of Furiosa and IF. Jake also saw Furiosa, along with LaRoy, Texas, and Abigail. Liz shares thoughts on Challengers and The Idea of You,
