Comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt have an eleven year age gap between them. They both love entirely different kinds of movies. Each week one forced the other to watch a movie they love, but realize their partner may not.
Allyson grew up with family friendly and endearing movies from the 80s and 90s, while Mike has a soft spot for questionable 80s and 90s horror/sci-fi and action.
Mike is also a trivia nerd and dives deep into the background of each movie they discuss.

My Neighbor Totoro
What other podcast could have episodes on Streets of Fire and My Neighbor Totoro?
My Neighbor Totoro is the hit animated fairytale that almost didn't get made. It was a risky venture for Studio Gibli, but arguably it's the movie that made them an international powerhouse animation studio. Animation nerds love this movie. References to it have shown up in the Toy Story franchise and even Bob's Burgers.
Will Allyson like My Neighbor Totoro as much as just about everyone else on the face of the planet?
Of course she will! It's a movie about giant cat trolls!

Slackers
Mike thought Allyson was making him watch the Richard Linklater film Slacker, but instead they watch the college caper romantic comedy Slackers starring Devon Sawa. This is a who's who of actors who would go on to be comedy powerhouses from people like Rhetta to the Oscar winning duo of Nat Faxon and Jim Rasch.
Let us know what you thought of Slackers.

The Fisher King
Both Mike and Allyson's dad recommended Allyson watch the Terry Gilliam masterpiece The Fisher King. It stars Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges, but the supporting cast is also truly amazing.

Save the Last Dance
Allyson womansplains "hiphop" to Mike while making him watch the interracial dance drama Save the Last Dance.
Before she was teaming up with Jason Bourne, Julia Stiles was cutting rugs with Sean Patrick Thomas. Kerry Washington makes her big screen debut in 2001's Save the Last Dance. It's The Cutting Edge minus the ice. It's ballet plus hiphop. It's 90 minutes.

The Warriors
Allyson....come out to watch Warriorrrs!
Allyson! Come out to watch Warrrriors!
ALLYSON! Come out to watch Warriors!
Mike makes Allyson watch the Walter Hill cult classic The Warriors! This was a brutal look at the gangs of New York, but isn't to be confused with the Gangs of New York, which was also a brutal look at the gangs of New York, but in a different century. Right before bodegas, luxury lofts and hipster coffee houses took over the mean streets of New York there were the Grammercy Riffs, the Baseball Furies and of course the Warriors!

Frailty
Allyson made Mike watch the 2001 mystery thriller Frailty starring Matthew McConaughey and the late great Bill Paxton. Writer Brent Hanley crafted a really sharp story that jumps back and forth decades. There's murder...lots of murder...or destroying demons, depending on how you look at it. Will Mike enjoy this nearly as much as his spooky wife does? Listen and find out!

Customer Reviews
Renewed curiosity and love for movies
I’ve always loved movies, but since being home during a pandemic, I’ve been having a difficult time finding things to watch. Mostly because I can’t make a decision. Since listening to You Made Me Watch, I’ve discovered movies I’ve never seen before, as well as rediscovering some old favorites. It’s so much fun listening to Mike and Allyson talk about the movies they’ve made each other watch, and I really enjoy hearing their different view points.
Most episodes are ridiculously funny, which I also love. Allyson’s full body giggling kills me every time, and I don’t care what anyone says, Mike mispronouncing names is hilarious.
Definitely give this one a listen, I think you’ll be glad you did!
Great comedic banter
I recently had the chance to listen to a couple of episodes of my buddy Mike’s podcast. Found it very entertaining. He and his wife Allyson make each other watch a movie they’ve never seen. Light & funny with great banter between them! Check it out if you’re looking for something new to listen to.
