Civil War
The MovieFilm boys reconvene to unpack writer-director Alex Garland's controversial and conversation-inducing new film CIVIL WAR! Does the dystopian tale of a United States in disarray live up to its high concept, or is it more less clever than it thinks it is? Zaki and Brian are ready to discuss. But that's not all! We also discuss the trailers for the new JOKER sequel and TRANSFORMERS prequel, unpack the legacy of the late O.J. Simpson, and much more!

Commentary Track: Ghostbusters II
The boys are back! With a new GHOSTBUSTERS sequel about to hit theaters, we thought it was a perfect time to visit the summer of '89 and rewatch their FIRST follow-up, GHOSTBUSTER II. It remains a polarizing flick 35 years after its debut but we still think there's lots to love about the second GB flick, from its re-teaming of the titular quarter to the spooky special effects and more. Listen separately or watch along with us as we talk through behind-the-scenes stories, amusing anecdotes and other stray observations!

Commentary Track: Lethal Weapon 2
It was 1989 and the magic was back as Mel Gibson and Danny Glover reteamed for LETHAL WEAPON 2! The buddy copy sequel was one of the biggest box office hits of that year, and the MovieFilm boys fired it up to delve into why it still holds up three-and-a-half decades later! Listen separately or watch along as we offer up behind-the-scenes stories, humorous asides and even an insight or two on one of the greatest sequels ever made!
Customer Reviews
A Movie Podcast, or testament to enduring friendship.
What makes a great movie podcast? Deep knowledge, respectful criticism and well timed humour. Moviefilm exceeds in all these categories but that is not what makes it great. There is a certain something you can’t fake or produce: friendship. Zaki and Brian keep me salivating for more content not because of the well-timed yet obscure Simpsons references, or the way Zaki can make you rethink how you feel about a film with his deep insight, but the way their interactions aren’t forced. The banter between these two works so well you will hate your own friends for not being as tight with you as these two are. In a world filled with hyperbolic, emotional criticism, nothing is more soothing than man who can confidently say “Prince of Persian is meh…totally fine, check it out”. Somebody once commented that they are a modern day Siskel and Ebert and I couldn’t agree more. In the end I guess you could say my feelings about The MovieFilm Podcast are best summed up in the form a limerick…

Zaki’s impressions are uncanny!…

Movie Podcast
I love this podcast. I have been listening to it since 2013. Zaki and Brian have a great repertoire, and that makes the conversation very fluid. Both guys are extremely fair in their reviews of the films (they don't get on a trend of bashing directors like Michael Bay). I have had the great opportiunity of being one of their listener letters/questions, if you ask them they will respond. I look forward to their podcast, because it always gets me through my commutes. Keep up the good work!
