Mind Your Movies

Mind Your Movies is a podcast for and by movie fans. In each episode, Ryan and Shane discuss in detail two films centered on a specific topic (spoilers and all!). Sometimes they’re movies we love, and sometimes they’re just movies that have to be discussed. After our conversation, we choose a random topic for the next episode. We choose the next films live so you can watch along with us! Join us for some fun (and informative) conversations about movies!

    Ep. 13: Palme d'Or Winners: "Paris, Texas" (1984) & "The Tree of Life" (2011)

    Join us this week for a meditative trip through the American psyche in Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life and Wim Wenders’ Paris, Texas. Both films won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes film festival and both happen to be (partially) set in Texas! We discuss various interpretations of each of these dense arthouse classics.

  5. Ep. 11: Movies About Magic: Wizards (1977) & Ponyo (2008)

    FEB 13

    Ep. 11: Movies About Magic: Wizards (1977) & Ponyo (2008)

    This week’s topic is movies about magic! Ryan and Shane discuss two animated films, Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards (1977) and Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo (2008). Both films use animation to show the audience unique and creative worlds and magical abilities. Wizards is a shoddily paced and vulgar depiction of a post-apocalyptic Earth with fairies, elves, and mutant Nazis. Ponyo, on the other hand, is an endearing and beautiful depiction of life on the Japanese coast and a magical underwater world. Join us in our discussion of these unique and fascinating animated movies about magic!  Find us elsewhere online... email: mindyourmoviespodcast@gmail.com Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/bfj3D Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindyourmoviespodcast Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/mindyourmovies.bsky.social Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1CNC8Z3vhTU4vrZqQvu7gQ?si=lsx3bfN-TweulWsiE1tekQ&nd=1&dlsi=2be1d2d675164b1f Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mind-your-movies/id1770671814 Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/90b476c5-c477-4af6-b330-a0abcc59d013/mind-your-movies

    Ep. 10.5: Companion (2025)

    This week we’re talking about Companion (2025). Drew Hancock’s darkly comic thriller is a pleasant January surprise for movie fans. We give our general thoughts at the start of the episode before getting into spoilers. This movie has plenty of twists and turns so go into Companion knowing as little as possible and we think you’ll have a great time! Once you’ve seen the movie, come back and listen to us chat about the movie’s story, the actors’ great performances, and some of our favorite moments in Companion.

    Ep. 10: Movies about Movies: Shadow of the Vampire (2000) & State and Main (2000)

    Lights, Camera, Action! Jump back on set with us as we chat about movies about movies for this week's episode. We take a time machine back to the year 2000 to debrief E. Elias Merhige's "Shadow of the Vampire," which reenvisions the behind-the-scenes of the original 1922 "Nosferatu" with Willem Dafoe playing a real-life vampire employed by F. W. Murnau (played by John Malkovich) to create the most realistic movie possible, and David Mamet's "State and Main," which follows a Hollywood film crew trying to film in rural Vermont and features a clash of these cultures and an expose of the dark side of Hollywood. Join us for 'State and Madow of the Vampire'!

  8. Ep. 9.5: House (1977)

    JAN 23

    Ep. 9.5: House (1977)

    On Episode 9.5 of the show we’re discussing Nobuhiko Obayashi’s cult classic House. This haunted house horror comedy is absolutely bananas. Obayashi’s experimental filmmaking makes this one of the most unique and fun cinematic experiences anyone could hope to see. We also discuss the film’s memorable kills and its parallels with the slasher subgenre. Everyone hide your watermelons and join us as we gush about House.
