Ever miss wandering Blockbuster, picking a movie, and arguing about it after? That’s the vibe here. We’re three friends who love movies and talk about them the way real people do once the credits roll. No critic voices, no lectures, just honest opinions, dumb jokes, and good conversation. Each week we discuss a new movie, usually once it hits streaming, and once a month we make Marvin watch a classic he somehow missed. If you enjoy talking through movies and hearing different takes, pull up a chair and join the conversation.

    172. Miracle

    This week on episode #172 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we made Marvin watch Miracle for the first time to see if it still holds up as one of the great sports movies. It has all the pieces: the underdog team, the iconic speech, the Cold War backdrop, and the “do you believe in miracles?” moment. But we also get into the bigger question behind the movie: is Miracle genuinely great sports filmmaking, or is it also wrapped up in American mythmaking and propaganda? We also talk about why recent AI news is exactly what we were worried about, whether Brand New Day could somehow become the best Spider-Man movie ever, and if the horror genre actually needed saving. 📌 Chapters00:00 - This is EXACTLY Why We Were Worried About AI18:30 - Brand New Day is The Best Spiderman Movie EVER?21:39 - Did The Horror Genre Need Saving?34:39 - This is The REAL Reason Disney Ruined Star Wars41:11 - Could We Get A Tango and Cash Sequel?45:15 - Marvin's First Time Watching Miracle!🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next one!💬 Is Miracle one of the greatest sports movies ever made, or is it impossible to separate from American propaganda? 🎙️ Listen on your favorite podcast platform: http://bit.ly/4im0Jaq🌐 Connect with us: https://harshlanguage.tv/

    171. Project Hail Mary

    This week on episode #171 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Project Hail Mary, the biggest movie of 2026 so far. With huge expectations and a massive domestic release, it looks like the kind of space survival story audiences already understand, but that might not be what this movie actually is. We break down why Project Hail Mary works differently than expected, how it balances science fiction with emotion, and whether it lives up to the hype. We also talk about whether Punisher: One Last Kill is exactly what everyone expected, how The Walking Dead almost became a very different show, and whether Scream 7’s box office numbers are telling the full story. 📌 Chapters00:00 - Punisher: One Last Kill is Exactly What We Expected15:39 - The Walking Dead Was Almost Very Different and We Can't Get Over It 20:26 - Ghostbusters Fans Have A Lot To Be Excited About23:36 - Are Scream 7's Box office Numbers a Lie? 28:35 - We Need A Break From Star Wars39:32 - Project Hail Mary is The Biggest Domestic Film of 202641:46 - Project Hail Mary Review 🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next one!💬 Did Project Hail Mary surprise you, or was it exactly the sci-fi movie you expected? 🎙️ Listen on your favorite podcast platform: http://bit.ly/4im0Jaq🌐 Connect with us: https://harshlanguage.tv/

    170. Pizza Movie

    This week on episode #170 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Pizza Movie, a comedy that feels like it was ripped straight out of the 2000s studio comedy era. At a time when theatrical comedies are almost extinct, the movie clearly wants to bring back that chaotic, dumb-fun energy that used to dominate, but does it actually work? We break down whether the humor lands, why this style of comedy disappeared in the first place, and if audiences still even want movies like this anymore. We also talk about why Stephen King fans need to check out Widow’s Bay, and discuss why comic books still struggle to be taken seriously as a storytelling medium. 📌 Chapters00:00 - Stephen King Fans Need To Watch Widow's Bay06:50 - Is Robert Downey Jr Really Playing Dr Doom?12:27 - People Still Don't Take Comic Books Seriously19:12 - We Are Officially Out of The Writers Strike Era23:45 - Pizza Movie Review 🔔Drop a follow so you don’t miss the next one!💬 Does Pizza Movie bring back 2000s comedy films, or has that era passed for good? 🎙️ Listen on your favorite podcast platform: http://bit.ly/4im0Jaq🌐 Connect with us: https://harshlanguage.tv/

    169. They Live

    This week on episode #169 of The Harsh Language Podcast, it's Marvin's first time watching They Live! It’s a movie most people think they already understand, but the deeper you go, the more unsettling it actually becomes. On the surface, it’s often reduced to a story about capitalism and consumerism, but we get into the much more uncomfortable idea at the core of the film. We break down why this movie still hits, what makes it so effective, and why it might be one of John Carpenter’s most misunderstood films. We also talk about whether Daredevil: Born Again is actually working, react to a wild X-Men rumor involving Jean Grey and Spider-Man, and discuss why something feels really suspicious about the reviews for the Michael Jackson biopic Michael. 📌 Chapters00:00 - Is Daredevil: Born Again Good?11:15 - This X-Men Rumor Might Confirm That Jean Grey Is in Spiderman20:48 - Something Is Very Wrong With the Michael Reviews33:01 - A Remake No One Asked For, and We Don't Need38:37 - ANOTHER Remake No One Asked For, and We Don't Need42:21 - They Live Review 🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the next one!💬 Do you think They Live is still relevant today, or do people overstate its message? 🎙️ Listen on your favorite podcast platform: http://bit.ly/4im0Jaq🌐 Connect with us: https://harshlanguage.tv/

    168. Scream 7

    This week on episode #168 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Scream 7, a movie that felt like it was falling apart before it was even made and somehow still became a massive success. Between behind-the-scenes controversy, cast shakeups, and mixed reactions from critics and audiences, this is one of the strangest releases the franchise has ever had. We break down how Scream 7 ended up becoming the highest grossing film in the series, what works, what doesn’t, and what it says about the franchise moving forward. We also talk about why you need to watch Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, and discuss how Marvel may have wasted years of audience investment. We also talk about why the Metal Gear movie has us worried, and highlight one of the best horror concepts we’ve seen in a long time. 📌 Chapters 00:00 - You Need to Watch Something Very Bad is Going To Happen 10:16 - Why Are Movie Trailers Being Hidden From Fans? 13:21 - Race Swapping is Getting Out of Hand 15:10 - We're Getting A Sequel No One Wants 16:42 - Marvel Wasted 6 Years of Your Time and Is Hoping You Forgot 25:54 - The Zelda Movie Continues Having Controversy 30:25 - The Metal Gear Movie Has Us Worried...

    167. Send Help

    This week on episode #167 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into Send Help, the latest film from Sam Raimi that’s being praised as a return to form, and even his highest rated movie in 22 years. On paper, it has everything you’d expect from a Raimi comeback, but does it actually feel like one? We break down what works, what doesn’t, and why the movie never fully comes together despite having all the right pieces. We also talk about why the new Supergirl trailer hit harder than expected, and react to Vincent D’Onofrio saying what a lot of Marvel fans have been thinking. Plus we get into why TV shows are now stuck at 8 episodes, and the surprising news about Netflix pricing that could change how people subscribe going forward. 📌 Chapters00:00 - Catching Up For The Week08:15 - The Supergirl Trailer Made Us Cry20:32 - Vincent D'Onofrio Said What Every Marvel Fan Was Thinking28:27 - The Real Reason TV Shows Only Get 8 Episodes Now37:20 - Shrinking is About To Do Something No Show Has Tried in Years45:09 - You've Been Overpaying for Netflix.

    166. The World's Fastest Indian

    This week on episode #166 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into The World’s Fastest Indian, a movie that feels like it should be talked about way more than it is. With an incredible performance from Anthony Hopkins and a simple, inspiring story, it’s the kind of film people say they want more of, so why does it feel like everyone forgot about it? We break down why the movie works so well, what makes it stand out, and why it never really became part of the broader movie conversation. We also talk about why The Madison is everything the Yellowstone spinoffs aren’t, and get into Netflix raising prices while their content keeps getting worse. Plus we break down the truth about piracy and Hollywood’s narrative around it and discuss why the industry might benefit from bringing in more voices from outside the system. 📌 Chapters00:00 - Weekly Catch Up02:45 - The Madison Is Everything the Yellowstone Spinoffs Aren't08:36 - Netflix Keeps Raising Their Prices and Their Content Gets Worse12:58 - Hollywood Lied About Piracy.

    165. War Machine

    This week on episode #165 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we dive into War Machine, a movie that might be the perfect Netflix film... and that’s not a compliment. It’s built to be easy to watch, easy to follow, and just engaging enough to keep on in the background… which raises a bigger question about what Netflix actually wants movies to be. We break down why War Machine feels like “empty calories,” what works about it on a surface level, and why there’s ultimately nothing pulling you deeper. We also talk about why everyone might be wrong about the Lanterns trailer, whether Spiderman: Brand New Day is actually as promising as it looks, and why the 2026 Oscars played out exactly how we expected. Plus we get into how Val Kilmer’s AI resurrection highlights a major problem in Hollywood. 📌 Chapters00:00 - Everyone Is Wrong About the Lanterns Trailer13:35 - Brand New Day Looks Great.
