We Interrupt This Movie

Send us a text Strap in, space cowboys. The lads are blasting off this week with Christopher Nolan’s epic sci-fi emotional detonator Interstellar. It’s a film where time bends, love transcends dimensions, and Matthew McConaughey gives one of the best performances of his career — equal parts astronaut, dad, philosopher, and #1 single-tear reactor. From that iconic bookshelf reveal to Hans Zimmer’s cathedral-organ score rattling every molecule of your being, we’re exploring why this film hits t...

Send us a text This week, the lads take to the skies with Martin Scorsese’s glossy, obsessive, beautifully unhinged epic The Aviator. We dive into Leonardo DiCaprio’s electric turn as Howard Hughes — aviation pioneer, Hollywood mogul, germaphobe extraordinaire — and explore everything from the Spruce Goose to milk bottles without losing cabin pressure. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s a little OCD-coded, and it might cause you to shout “Show me all the blueprints!” at wildly inappropriate times. Buc...

Send us a text This week, the lads check in to the Overlook Hotel for a long-overdue stay with The Shining — Stanley Kubrick’s chilling masterpiece of isolation, madness, and malfunctioning typewriters. It may be a little late for Halloween, but there’s never a bad time to talk about axe-wielding writers, eerie twins, and the unmistakable dread that only Kubrick can conjure. From the meticulous set design to Jack Nicholson’s legendary descent into insanity, we dive deep into what makes The Sh...

Send us a text This week, the lads wade into One Battle After Another, a film so loaded with powerhouse performances it might as well be an acting masterclass. Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro each bring enough intensity to power a small city — and under Paul Thomas Anderson’s direction, that energy somehow becomes poetry. We unpack the craft, the chaos, and the quiet genius of a filmmaker who never wastes a frame. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman, and Steve Teasdale. T...

Send us a text This week, the lads take aim at Weapons, the dark and unsettling new film from Zach Cregger, the guy from The Whitest Kids U’ Know who turned out to be a seriously talented horror director. We didn’t quite know what to expect going in, but, you know what — we really enjoyed this one. Smart, unnerving, and surprisingly layered, Weapons keeps you guessing right up to the end. Don’t worry — no weapons were used in the making of this podcast. Just a few strong opinions. Hoste...

Send us a text This week, the lads dive into Charlie McDowell’s ambitious sci-fi drama The Discovery, where the afterlife isn’t a mystery — it’s been proven. We unpack its big ideas, haunting tone, and the quiet presence of Robert Redford, whose legacy looms large. It’s a conversation about life, love, and what happens when a great concept doesn’t quite find its footing — with the usual mix of humor, wonder, and a touch of existential dread. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Werhman ...

Send us a text The lads take flight with Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s single-take fever dream about ego, art, and actors in their underwear on Broadway. We dig into Michael Keaton’s meta-performance, the film’s dizzying camerawork, and that relentless jazz drum soundtrack that feels like it’s chasing us down a New York alley. Expect sharp takes, a little self-deprecation, and maybe a rimshot or two. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman and Steve Teasdale Theme song composed and performed by Steve...

Send us a text The lads boldly go… nowhere near the speed of light, but straight into the galaxy of Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. From ludicrous speed to jammed radars, they’ll comb the desert (literally) for laughs, quote the movie way too many times and debate whether or not this flick holds up after nearly 40 years since it’s release. May the Schwartz be with you! Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman and Steve Teasdale Theme song and incidental music composed and performed by Steve Teasdale Ple...

Send us a text This week, the lads take aim at Lethal Weapon, the buddy cop classic that made Christmas dangerous and saxophones emotionally manipulative. We break down Mel Gibson and Danny Glover’s iconic dynamic, rooftop negotiations, and just how many explosions it takes to build a friendship. Sorry bad guys, nobody here but us podcasters and we’re too old for this episode! Please rate and review us wherever you listen and send any questions, comments and movie suggestions to weinter...

Send us a text “I’m an oil man, you see…” And we’re podcast men, you see. So naturally, this week the lads strike it rich with Paul Thomas Anderson’s epic tale of ambition, greed, and milkshake-drinking misanthropy. We dive deep into the psychological oil well that is Daniel Day-Lewis’s powerhouse performance, and discuss everything from PTA’s bold direction to Jonny Greenwood’s haunting score. Daniel Plainview drinks your milkshake. We drink… lukewarm coffee and talk too much. Please r...

Send us a text The Lads return to Tarantino-land for our second QT film on We Interrupt This Movie — this time diving into Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a dreamy love letter to a bygone era of Tinseltown. We talk DiCaprio’s breakdowns, Brad Pitt’s breezy charm, and why flamethrowers should really come standard in every garage. Anybody order fried sauerkraut? Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman and Steve Teasdale Theme song composed and performed by Steve Teasdale Please rate an...

Send us a text This week, the lads take a giant leap into Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey—a film that redefined cinema, confounded audiences, and made classical music terrifying. Tage , Steve and Derek explore apes, space stations, and one very passive-aggressive computer. Strap in—things are about to get monolithic. Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman and Steve Teasdale Theme song composed and performed by Steve Teasdale Please rate and review our podcast w...

Send us a text The lads sink their teeth into Nosferatu (2024), dissecting Robert Eggers’ dark and brooding reimagining of the iconic vampire tale. From shadowy castles to unsettling performances, they cover it all—except, of course, that mustache. We get it, Nosferatu, you’re undead, but did your barber have to be too? Tune in for sharp takes, witty banter, and a few laughs about facial hair that didn’t quite make the cut. Hosted by Tage Sickler and Steve Teasdale Theme song and inc...

Send us a text The lads head back into the colosseum to talk about Ridley Scott’s long awaited sequel, Gladiator II. Maximus may be dead, but his legacy lives on with a new generation of gladiators, lead by Paul Mescal. With great supporting roles like Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn and the scene stealing Denzel Washington, we had fun discussing this epic sequel to a beloved Oscar winning classic! Hail Dundus! Hosted by Tage Sickler and Steve Teasdale Theme song and incidental music compo...

Send us a text Join the Lads as they embark on an epic journey through the galaxy, revisiting George Lucas’ 1977 masterpiece, Star Wars (as it was originally titled before the Episode IV subtitle was added in 1981). We talk about how it all started and how we don’t believe Lucas had the entire saga mapped out as he claims now. We are joined later on by a special guest: genuine Star Wars mega fan (and Steve’s son) Sean! So grab your lightsaber, and May the Force be with you! Hosted...

Send us a text Happy Halloween! Today, in part 2 of our John Carpenter double feature, the lads dive into his iconic horror masterpiece, "The Thing," released in 1982. We dissect the chilling narrative of an Antarctic research team that encounters a shape-shifting alien life form, leading to paranoia and distrust among its members. Join us as we discuss the incredible yet disgusting practical monster effects, how perfect Kurt Russell’s performance (and hair) is and how thi...

Send us a text It’s a week early but Happy Halloween! Today the lads discuss John Carpenter’s 1978 breakout success, Halloween. The town of Haddonfield is stalked by a deranged escaped mental patient named Michael Myers. Jamie Lee Curtis makes her film debut and a franchise that would inspire countless slasher films of the 1980’s is born. Join us as we talk about our favorite parts (The imagery! The music!) our not so favorite parts (The acting, the plot) and remember don’t hide i...

Send us a text It’s Arnold! It’s the 80’s! There’s lots of nonsensical yet exciting action! There are one liners galore! The Lads delve into 1985’s Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle, Commando. Join us as we talk about our love of Arnold, how much joy this movie brings us (despite its ridiculousness) and whether or not a steel drum is the right instrument to be Arnold’s theme.
