MOVIE TALK with Evan Williams

This week on the podcast, comedian and content creator Evan Williams joins James for a wide-ranging conversation about movies, comedy, and everything in between. We talk about getting banned from Universal, how movie-inspired sketches helped shape Evan's content, and why Star Wars remains such a cultural force. We also dive into Inception, filming at the real Reservoir Dogs locations, Wim Wenders' Perfect Days, and our favorite movie theater experiences with AMC A-List and Alamo Drafthouse. Along the way, we discuss sketch comedy, The Odyssey, Charli XCX's influence on pop culture, WWE storytelling, and why films like The Matrix and Mad Max continue to stand the test of time. We wrap things up with a fun movie trivia game that puts our film knowledge to the test.If you love movies, stand-up comedy, and conversations that bounce from blockbuster classics to niche film discussions, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

IMAX EXPLAINED: 70mm Film, Negative Cutting, Processing and Projecting

What is IMAX? Why does the format still feel so uniquely immersive compared to standard 35mm or digital projection? In this episode, we get a rare guided tour of IMAX’s Los Angeles facility with Patricia Keighley, the company’s Chief Quality Guru, for an up-close look at how true 15/70 IMAX films are cut, stored, printed, assembled, shipped, and projected.See negative cutting for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, where master cutter German Núñez hand-splices the giant original camera negative frame by frame. Tour the cold-storage vaults holding irreplaceable 15/70 elements, the print assembly area led by Irving Barrios, the fulfillment and shipping operation, and IMAX’s private projection booth. We also visit the David Keighley Theater (named for Patricia’s late husband and IMAX pioneer) and examine the Keighley camera… used for every shot of The Odyssey and named after both of them. Along the way we cover the origins of IMAX, the technical magic of 15-perf 70mm film, how it stacks up against other formats, and why Nolan’s full commitment to the medium continues to push the format forward. If you’re listening to the audio version, seek out the video on iHeart, Spotify, or YouTube for exclusive footage captured inside IMAX headquarters… some of the most rare looks at the process ever shared.

REVIEW: 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Soars to New Heights!

He's back! Spider-Man: Brand New Day centers on a lonelier Peter Parker going through arachnid mutations, four years after the memory-erasing spell of No Way Home. Stripped of every personal connection, he has thrown himself completely into the role of Spider-Man. Led by the incredible Tom Holland with a star studded supporting cast, Spider-Man: Brand New Day offers some of the best moments of the entire Spidey franchise. So let's unpack Destin Daniel Cretton’s take on the web-slinger, as the director steps into Jon Watts’ shoes for Tom Holland’s fourth solo outing. We dig into Holland’s raw, haunted performance as a full-time Spider-Man who’s watching Zendaya’s MJ and Jacob Batalon’s Ned move on without him, the electric chemistry that still crackles between Holland and Zendaya even at a distance, and the heavy hitters who crash into Peter’s lonely new reality: Jon Bernthal’s ferocious Punisher, Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner, Michael Mando’s Scorpion, Tramell Tillman’s Bill Metzger and Sadie Sink's mysterious villain!

DRAFT: Spider-Man Movies

Spider-Man has swung, flipped, and web-slung his way to the top of the box office for more than two decades... yet the debate over which films truly capture the heart of the character rages on. Is it Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi’s beloved original trilogy? The dazzling, multiversal brilliance of the Spider-Verse movies? Andrew Garfield’s darker, more emotional Amazing Spider-Man era? Or Tom Holland’s sleek, MCU-powered solo adventures? In this all-out Spider-Man Movie Draft, Anthony and James go head-to-head, building rival teams of Spider-Man films to settle the ultimate question once and for all: whose Spidey-sense is the strongest?

THE ODYSSEY - Movie Review

Join us for a deep dive into Christopher Nolan’s monumental new epic, The Odyssey. This ambitious adaptation of Homer’s ancient tale brings the legendary hero’s perilous journey home to breathtaking life on the biggest screens possible as the first film ever shot entirely on IMAX cameras and IMAX film. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, joined by an all-star cast including Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, Charlize Theron as Calypso, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and more powerhouse performers. Nolan delivers jaw dropping visuals, intense action sequences, and his signature blend of cerebral storytelling and emotional depth. We discuss the film’s towering ambition, standout performances, how it reimagines Greek mythology for modern audiences, and whether it lives up to the hype of its record-breaking box office debut.

BEST MOVIE PODCAST EVER!!

Apr 22

Mr. Unsubscribed

The guys are of the utmost knowledge of movies and cinema as a whole, except for when it comes to pronouncing something correctly, stuttering over words, or remembering the correct scene in movies from memory. Anyways, the podcast is my go-to listen for whenever I finish a movie or TV show, and they help me retain the information, all while giving me the greatest laughs a movie podcast could give me. These guys know their stuff, and if you think they don’t, there’s a good chance you will be on featured on their haters segment. From the inside jokes, to all of the incredible breakdowns, thank you guys for all you have shared with us and will continue to do so. However, if you do not continue to do so, I will have no choice but to UNSUBSCRIBE!!

These guys are the best. In depth movie analysis, honest thoughts and reviews, hilarious banter, and inside jokes you really feel a part of. I haven’t seen such genuineness on a platform like this maybe ever, especially this consistently. Whether I’m just looking to hear what the movie boys had to say about a flick, new or old, or I’m feeling down and need a pick-me-up, this show has been my go-to for the past few years and it’ll stay that way for years to come. Seriously, I can’t recommend these guys enough for any cinephile or casual movie goer. They even went so far as to watch and support my debut short film after I shared it with them over instagram. Who else is doing it like that? James and Anthony, I seriously appreciate what you guys do, and am stoked for all of your success and am excited to listen along as you undoubtedly achieve even more. Subscribed, for good.
