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!

  1. Ep. 8.5: Nosferatu (2024)

    5 DAYS AGO

    Ep. 8.5: Nosferatu (2024)

    On this weeks mini-episode we discuss Nosferatu (2024). We discuss the film’s themes, character design andcinematography. The film’s unique storytelling choices differentiate it from previous Nosferatu films and some vampire movies in general. While Ryan loved the dark atmosphere and impeccable filmmaking, Shane was worn out by the pacing and muddled themes. Regardless, this new version of Nosferatu is fascinating and a valuable new entry in the vampire subgenre.

  2. Ep. 8: Public Domain: Nosferatu (1922) & Metropolis (1927)

    JAN 2

    Ep. 8: Public Domain: Nosferatu (1922) & Metropolis (1927)

    On Episode 8 of the show we talk about movies available in the public domain! We discuss two classics of their respective genres: F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu (1922) and Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927). Both films were created in Weimar-era Germany and have influenced countless horror and sci-fi films. Both also hold up as brilliantly constructed silent films.

  3. Ep. 7.5: Black Christmas (1974, 2006, 2019)

    12/26/2024

    Ep. 7.5: Black Christmas (1974, 2006, 2019)

    This week Ryan and Shane discuss Black Christmas! We talk about the beloved original 1974 and the less beloved 2006 and 2019 remakes.  The original film directed by Bob Clark is a slasher classic with brilliant cinematography and sound design. Clark manages the film’s tone brilliantly. The characters are realistic and the film features complex, three-dimensional female characters. The whodunit story is fascinating and always keeps the audience guessing. A true Christmas classic that holds up today. We also discuss the remakes and why we found them disappointing, especially in comparison to the original.

    Ep. 7: Train Movies: The General (1926) & Snowpiercer (2013)

    All aboard! This week we’re talking trains. We discuss Buster Keaton’s classic silent film The General and Bong Joon-ho’s dystopian sci-fi film Snowpiercer for our episode titled The Genowpiercer. We talk about Buster Keaton’s brilliant career and the many daring stunts in The General. We also discuss the themes and metaphors explored in Snowpiercer.

    12/12/2024

    Ep. 6.5: Tokyo Godfathers (2003)

    On Episode 6.5 of the show we discuss Satoshi Kon’s Christmas classic Tokyo Godfathers. We discuss the film’s portrayal of a transgender character and the themes of coincidence, forgiveness, and family.

  6. Ep. 6: Psychological Thrillers: Perfect Blue (1997) & Saltburn (2023)

    12/05/2024

    Ep. 6: Psychological Thrillers: Perfect Blue (1997) & Saltburn (2023)

    This week our topic is psychological thrillers and we discuss two very different films within that genre. The first is Perfect Blue. Satoshi Kon’s debut feature uses dreamlike animation in a haunting portrayal of dissociation and psychological turmoil. Our second film is Saltburn, a witty dark comedy with plenty of shock value. We discuss the differences in each film’s approach to telling their stories within this genre.  Trigger warning for discussion of sexual assault in our Perfect Blue segment from 00:18:00 to 01:08:00

  7. 11/28/2024

    Ep. 5.5: Idiocracy (2006)

    On this week’s mini-episode we discuss Mike Judge’s silly social satire Idiocracy. The film manages to combine crude humor with astute social commentary to create a unique cocktail of early 2000’s comedy. While some elements haven’t aged particularly well, the themes of corporate power, advertising, and automation leading to the downfall of humanity feels more prescient with every passing year.
