-
- TV & Film
-
A casual movie and tv discussion series. Join the Afterthoughts crew --Dixon, John, and Ryan-- and their guests, as they share their afterthoughts on things they've recently watched. Old or new, doesn't matter.
-
Recommend or Refute | All The President's Men (1976), Late Night With The Devil (2023), Satan's Guide to The Bible (2023)
On this episode of Recommend or Refute, Dixon brings up All The President's Men (1976) and we lament the devolution of journalistic integrity. John talks pseudo-70s aesthetic with the David Dastmalchian led horror movie Late Night With The Devil (2023). And Ryan talks about his time sitting in a Sunday School of alternative biblical perspective with Satan's Guide to The Bible (2023). Could this episode have the controversial makings of an Afterthought-gate scandal?!
-
Cashback (2006)
John continues to force us to revisit the movies he loved as a teenager that may or may not have aged well since then. This week we're talking about the horny British coming-of-age dramedy Cashback (2006).
-
Recommend or Refute | Wonka (2023), Civil War (2024), Saving Private Ryan (1998)
This is a Recommend or Refute with plenty of tangents. Prepare yourself to wade through the quagmire of mixed feelings as Ryan whips up a special chocolate covered condemnation of the latest Charlie & The Chocolate Factory film companion with Wonka (2023). Dixon talks about Civil War (2024), not actual Civil War though. John leads the crew on an expedition to secure the hottest takes and anti-war diatribes from Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998).
-
The Death of Stalin (2018)
Did y'all hear that Stalin died? They made a movie about it starring Steve Buscemi and Jeffrey Tambor.
-
Recommend or Refute | The Roaring Twenties (1939), Priscilla (2023), The Pagemaster (1994)
Dixon and John have returned --with special guest Parker-- to serve up some fresh picks for the dwindling watchlists out there. Prohibition may be over, but the legends it spawned live on in The Roaring Twenties (1939), and Dixon is going to dish on all of it while somehow managing to never work in references to the Simpsons episode we're all thinking about. Parker talks about Sofia Coppola's Priscilla (2023) and we inevitably find ourselves in a compare and contrast with Baz Luhrmann's Elvis (2023). And John invites us to collectively check out the public library propaganda piece known as The Pagemaster (1994).
-
Silence (2016)
We're finally doing Dixon's favorite movie, the profoundly transformative Silence (2016) by the great Martin Scorsese. Join John, Dixon, and special guest Parker as we discuss our backgrounds in the church and how the film has impacted our personal beliefs. Check out Dixon's article on his journey with the film below.

Customer Reviews
A pleasant surprise!
I am set in my ways and rarely take on new podcasts for my regular rotation. But, I noticed these guys kept popping up when I searched for discussions about whatever weird movie I just watched. They have a great casual style and diverse tastes in film. One likes art house/criterion, another seems to be into anime, and the other likes B film “schlock” type movies. A great listen, especially the recommend or refute eps. Keep it going guys, I love the show!
