Each week we bring on a friend, from lifelong to brand new, to talk about their favorite* movie. We like to talk about why our favorites are our favorites, what they make us think and what they make us feel. I can't promise a lack of spoilers (let's face it; there will be spoilers!), but we're much more into what movies mean to us personally. We talk about favorites because we want to explore how movies affect us so deeply. One thing I've always found is that even those who don't think of themselves as movie fans have a favorite movie and have a lot to say about it!

    Inglorious Basterds with Julia Mott

    Welcome to the long-awaited premiere of co-producer Julia Mott to whom I am lucky enough to be married. We're digging into Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece in this one. (That's right. I called it his masterpiece. Come at me!) We have a lot of fun in this one focusing on our favorite sequences, a few of the many outstanding performances, as well as trying to figure out what the heck QT is up to, in the best possible ways. Don't forget to rate, review and follow the show. Find us @yourfavoriteflick on Instagram and BlueSky, @favoriteflick on Letterboxd, or email us at yourfavoriteflick@gmail.com. Check out our house band, The Hons, on Bandcamp, as well. Trust me, you won't regret spending the $10 to buy their album To Skyward.

    Oscar Special with only Brad Glaser (Sorry 'bout that)

    Here's our first special just in time for this weekends Oscar ceremony. This one is me flying solo on mic, as I take you through my personal favorites for eleven of the biggest categories (we even included editing for Brother Jeff, despite his being officially dead to this podcast). Please know that these are my personal favorites and not predictions. If you try to fill out your Oscar pools with these picks, you'll be going down in flames. I also add in a recommended watch based on each nominee in these categories, so that's 55 additional movies to check out. As if your lives weren't already busy enough. In case you don't want to listen to me talk for over a half hour without interruption (very few do) or you want to revisit them, here are those picks and movie recs for you: Best Picture Bugonia 10 Cloverfield Lane F1 Ford vs. Ferrari Frankenstein Poor Things Hamnet Remains of the Day Marty Supreme The Hustler One Battle After Another The Big Lebowski The Secret Agent The Conversation Sentimental Value 8 1/2 Sinners Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Train Dreams The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Best Director One Battle After Another Paul Thomas Anderson Boogie Nights Sinners Ryan Coogler Fruitvale Station Marty Supreme Josh Safdie Uncut Gems Sentimental Value Joachim Trier Robert Redford - Ordinary People Hamnet Chloé Zhao Nomadland Best Actor Marty Supreme Timothée Chalamet Tom Cruise - The Color of Money One Battle After Another Leonardo DiCaprio Catch Me if you Can Blue Moon Ethan Hawke Before Sunrise Sinners Michael B.

    Uncle Buck with Barrett Landen

    Welcome back! Join Barrett Landen and I for a fun discussion of late-80's comedy classic Uncle Buck today. We talk about the lasting appeal of John Candy and John Hughes, the budding genius of Macaulay Culkin, and how this movie pulls at the heartstrings while making us laugh.

    Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan with Joe Shorter

    Join us on the bridge of the Enterprise as we discuss my favorite Star Trek move, The Wrath of Khan. I'm joined by Joe Shorter, a friend, fellow nerd (he owns it), and supporter of the show right out of the gates. While we do get a little nerdy, the core of our conversation is about the themes and ideas presented in this low-budget, by big sci-fi standards, scrappy masterpiece. We have some fun along the way, as well, and we explore what the heck Scotty is up to when he's not on board. Prepare for warp speed!

    Midnight Run with Brad Coffman

    Join us for a fun cross-country ride with Brad Coffman as we discuss Martin Brest's 1988 buddy road comedy Midnight Run. We'll talk about performance, Robert de Niro's and Charles Grodin's leads of course, but also the incredible supporting cast. We hit on funny moments, but most importantly, we spend time talking about the relationships that drive this heartfelt film. Our music is courtesy of The Hons. Find their fantastic album To Skyward on Bandcamp: https://thehons.bandcamp.com/album/to-skyward

    Raising Arizona with Jeffrey Glaser

    This week I'm joined by my brother, professional film editor Jeffrey Glaser for a discussion of a shared childhood favorite, Raising Arizona. It's not an overstatement to say that this is one of the movies that got Jeff and me into how and why movies work. We have a lot of fun and take advantage of his expertise to get a little technical too. I hope you enjoy! Next week, we're going to talk Midnight Run with Brad Coffman. So, if you like 80's comedies, this is a good mini-run for you. You can find The Hons, who have been kind enough to provide the music for our show, at https://thehons.bandcamp.com/album/to-skyward.

    Se7en with Michael Young

    Join us for a discussion of David Fincher's "Se7en" with my friend Michael Young. Michael came extra- prepared and gets deep into scenes, themes and characters. He made me think about a movie I've seen a bunch in some ways I never had before. For those who want to view ahead of time, next week's episode will feature full-time professional film editor and part-time amateur brother Jeffrey Glaser talking with me about "Raising Arizona", a shared beloved film for the two of us.
