Movie Memory Machine is a podcast dedicated to films that are forgotten but not gone.
Each week the Machine sends us backward and forward through time and forces us to blow the dust off a wide release film that history has forgotten to decide if we should send it back to modern memory or leave it drifting in the ether of space.

Customer Reviews
Great idea, great chemistry
In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that I’ve been a listener and fan of Grunt Work for many years—as a lifelong fan of Home Improvement I was delighted to find Grunt Work when I did, and I stuck around. I stuck around not because listening to GW gave me the same hit of bittersweet nostalgia that Home Improvement does, but because the hosts, Truman and Landon, are genuinely funny and posses the kind of chemistry needed to make a 2+ hour podcast consistently listenable and entertaining. They’re smart guys, and offered some interesting insight into the show that I hadn’t seen on my own. This new show is off to a great start; I know I can trust our humble hosts to give us quality and entertainment, no matter what the movie they’re discussing may be, and you should too!
Now the big question: will we see a Hudsucker Proxy episode? One can only dream, because I sure can’t get enough Hudsucker Proxy content.
