MYMHM's Episode Archive
May we suggest a movie?-
Well, it has been a crazy three years. And we certainly could not have gotten to 156 episodes without all the fan suggestions. We truly thank you for keeping the show going this long, but we know we didn't cover all the suggestions you made. So as we p
-
It's our penultimate episode (second to last) before our extended hiatus, so we thought we'd talk about several of the films that we always wanted to talk about, but never got the chance to before.
-
After three years we FINALLY got Producer Marie to join us in FRONT of the camera. So, of course she brings two movies that showcase her...ahem..appreciation of another man, Robert Downey Jr.
-
So, you know how the title of our show really tells you what it's about? Well, no where in the title do we promise GOOD movies...
-
Since we covered 13 Assassins last week, we found ourselves wanting more Samurai! So we FINALLY decided to listen to you guys and cover Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.
-
It's been way too long since we covered some good old-fashioned action films and FOREIGN action films for that matter. So that's what we are headed for this week. I'm SURE these films will take your mind off The Avengers...right?!
-
Fearless is yet another movie directed by Peter Weir (what is WITH Lee's obsession with that director?) and it is beautiful, tragic, and funny and it's starring Jeff Bridges! The DUDE.
-
So the words "Safe" and "Trust" should make you feel...well, safe and trusted... relaxed. These two movies make you feel anything but those things.
-
Following the popularity of our first Dirty Old Men double feature, we decided to take a second look at the phenomenon of May/December romances in indie film.
-
That's right, folks. It's time for some revenge. This week we bring you a couple of films about men who take the law into their own hands with some...fatal results.
-
A couple of weeks ago Juan got to sit down with writer/director JC Khoury to talk about the making of his film The Pill. Now Juan and Lee will tell you why you should see this gem, about a guy who really regrets his one night stand.
-
This week we give some love to two comedies that feature the casts of a couple of terrific Sketch Comedy shows: SNL, The State, Stella, and Kids in the Hall.
-
What do the films Das Boot and Submarine have in common? Pretty much nothing....
-
We had so much fun with the Journalism-Scandal double feature from a couple of weeks ago, we decided to come back to the subject of Journalism. In this case, we decided to watch two movies that showcase the good it can do.
-
Sometimes we just have to get a little weird. It was brought up that we should cover some David Lynch, but honestly we're not quite read for that level of strange.
-
Scandal has always sold newspapers, but what if the scandal is what's going on AT the newspaper? We aren't talking about the current hacking scandal (that film hasn't been made yet), but of scandals from just a few years ago.
-
These two movies were both films we wished had gotten more eyes on them in 2011, but since we don't own time machines (...YET!) we can at least get more eyes on them now via streaming rentals.
-
It's our Day-After-Valentine's-Day Episode and, of course, Juan and Lee are incapable about talking about anything romantic with any kind of maturity. Which is why we are VERY lucky to have relationship blogger and comedienne Claudia Maittlen-Harris join
-
Juan and Lee like to compete....So they each decided to bring a WW2 movie. Predictably, Juan brought a black and white film and Lee brought a more modern film...
-
A note from Producer Marie: Back in college I saw a movie that was so disturbing, so visually mesmerizing, that it stuck with me. I couldn't, for the life of me, remember the title...
-
Since this is not the easiest of subjects to talk about, naturally we handle it with grace and decorum....Okay that last part MAY not be true...
-
When we picked these two films to cover, most of the awards shows had not aired. Now just a couple of weeks later Christopher Plummer has now won a Critics Choice award and a Golden Globe for his performance in Beginners.
-
Don't you hate it when a total stranger moves into your house and starts teaching you life lessons? Or when your somewhat adorable nephew shows up out of the blue and begs you for advice on how to pick up women?
-
We FINALLY listened... These are terrific movies, you said. Why haven't you covered these two terric gems, you asked. Well, we finally heard and listened.
-
What's better than two movies about aliens? Two BRITISH movies about aliens, of course. Us being us, we couldn't go mainstream for movies about aliens, so we traveled across the pond (well, not really, but we checked out British films) for these two gem
-
Happy Holidays from MYMHM! In honor of the most wonderful time of the year, we are covering both the 1985 AND the 2011 versions of Fright Night. And yes, we know it's not Halloween. We are hoping to give the 2011 Fright Night a little holiday magic.
-
Can you think of a GREAT Soccer movie that people missed? (No one missed Bend it Like Beckham). Well we could only think of one, The Damned United, starring the brilliant Michael Sheen and many other brilliant actors.
-
Heeee's Baaack! Way back in Episode 12 (That's right, more than 100 episodes ago) our pal, actor/filmmaker Yuri Lowenthal, talked with us about the terrifying Spanish film 'REC'. In that episode he made a promise NOT to watch 'REC 2' until he could watc
-
You may or may not know that all of us here at MYMHM are from New Mexico (which IS a state in the union for those of you who weren't totally sure). So this week we thought we'd bring you a couple of films that were filmed AND take place in our home state
-
We always have a hard time coming up with a "Thanksgiving" themed episode (remember 'Dutch'?). So this year we broke it down to the two elements of the holiday that really matter (to us): family and the FOOD.
-
Annnnd we're back on track with themes! This week it's East meets West in two really fun capers.
-
Okay, so we admit it. Neither of these films really has anything to do with the other (other than they both qualify as 'Dramas'), but they were both so terrific, we just had to cover them.
-
(11/02/11) So out here in LA we are frequent visitors of a great theatre chain called the Laemmle. They tend to show indie films that you might not get to see at your more mainstream theatres. This week's episode features two movies we caught at the Lae
-
(10/25/11) HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Okay so it's a few days early, but still! It's the most wonderful time of the year: Candy AND Spooky Movies!
-
(10/18/11) Okay, so we're not totally clueless. We know that very few of you missed 'Grosse Pointe Blank', but it actually didn't do that well in the box office...plus we really liked it!
-
(10/11/11) It's stunning that we somehow got to episode 121 without covering Samurai films. Well, we finally decided to rectify this sad situation!
-
(10/05/11) We haven't done a guest episode in a while, so it's our pleasure to share with you a great selection from none other than Mr. Carlos Alazraqui!
-
(09/27/11) It's been two whole weeks since Juan got to have a say in the flicks we covered! The wait has been tortuous for him.
-
(09/20/11) Since Lee got to pick the movies last week, Producer Marie decided that it was high time that a couple of her films got reviewed.
-
(09/13/11) We should have seen this coming... This week we let Lee pick the films and he picked two films that seemingly have nothing to do with each other...Except some teen angst...
-
(09/06/11) And the hits keep coming, folks! Get ready for week TWO of the fan requests.
-
(08/30/11) We definitely wouldn't have gotten to episode 115 without suggestions from you guys and we figured it has been way too long since we've covered some fan requests.
-
(08/23/11) Check out our reviews of 'Get Low' and 'Death at a Funeral' (the British version).
-
(08/16/11) Let's take two very different looks at military service in cinema!
-
(08/09/11) Not everyone gets to travel through time in the safety and comfort of a pimped out Dolorean.
-
(08/02/11) We know it's been awhile since we covered an animated film. This week we make it up to you by covering two brilliant animated films (psst - not from the US, shhh).
-
(07/19/11) Yup. Sex. This week, we're pairing two films, starring some of the most brilliant dramatic actors of ANY age, but both of which focus primarily on old OLD guys getting romantically entangled with MUCH younger women!
-
(07/26/11) Great actor or GREATEST actor? See we crush pretty hardcore on Sir Caine. Were it up to us, we'd ONLY cover films starring Caine. He really is that good.
-
(07/13/11) We don't cover enough indie film on this show. To rectify that Lee and Juan decided to challenge each other to finding an uber-indie MYMHM. To sweeten the deal, we're making this an actual challenge.
-
(07/05/11) It's time to grow up! Literally. Both films this week are about watching young British men start to figure out what it means to be adults.
-
(06/28/11) LET'S GET TO SOME KILLING! I don't know how, but movies featuring a "moral flexibility" are almost always a good time.
-
(06/22/11) WE'RE BACK TO ZOMBIES! And real zombies, not weird existential metaphor zombies or verbal alt-zombies.
-
(06/15/11) Not as topical as I hoped it would be, but we're really happy that the Rapture didn't seem to get in the way of the world's proper end in 2012.
-
(06/07/11) I love movies about politics. I love Mockumentaries. Peanut butter and jelly! TIMES TWO!
-
(05/31/11) To get through some of your awesome recommendations we're going to start a semi-regular movie show down, and to kick it off were taking a look at two indie vigilante flicks.
-
(05/24/11) - Back from hiatus with episode 101! We felt it was our duty to return with an indie low budget sweetheart, and our first creature feature!
-
(04/05/11) Episode 100. And in celebration, we looked back to our very first review...
-
(03/29/11) Featuring an interesting perspective on a cyber-post-apocalypse, Alex Rivera's first sci-fi feature is an extremely ambitious venture for its modest budget.
-
(03/22/11) ...but it's actually a GREAT film. No surprise there as we're going back to World War 2!
-
(03/15/11) Don't Miss 'Ip Man', the (very-loosely-based-on-a-true-story) story of the man who brought Wing Chun to the world.
-
(03/09/11) Come ON Canada! You're making some really charming films, but you guys HAVE to do a better job of getting your movies out there.
-
(03/01/11) After almost two years, we're finally covering Shakespeare, and it's NOT a Kenneth Branagh flick.
-
(02/23/11) Australian? Sure! Sam Neil? You bet! Patrick Warburton? Hells yes! Do you need MORE reasons to watch this film?
-
(02/15/11) What with him being nominated for an Academy Award this year for "Black Swan" we figured it was about time we covered an Aronofsky film.
-
(02/08/11) A film largely heralded as one of the most effective anti-war films ever made.
-
(02/01/11) You know. It's really not fair. This is Christopher Nolan's "Friend Film"...
-
(01/25/11) Nicolas Winding Refn absolutely WOW-ed us with the ultra violent "Bronson", and his turn here directing "Valhalla Rising" is just as brutal in terms of violence....
-
(01/18/11) Every week. Without fail. A new episode drops here at MYMHM, and now it's time to return to Rian Johnson!
-
(01/11/11) This movie totally blindsided us, and impressed us enough to break our 6 month moratorium on French cinema.
-
(01/04/11) One of the happiest days for our friendship was finding out that we both love the film "Punch-Drunk Love" after thinking the other didn't like it.
-
(12/28/10) To wrap up 2010, we wanted to cover something kinda silly...
-
(12/21/10) This week we review a WONDERFUL film, staring a young Jimmy Stewart, that takes place during Christmas.
-
(12/14/10) Not only do we return to animation, but this is the first time we've ever covered claymation on MYMHM!
-
(12/08/10) This film is so charming in its subtle indie ways, it may just redefine the term "gem", elevating it heretofore to unseen heights of cinema description glory...
-
(11/30/10) You'll either love it, or hate it, but we loved it, so you have to at least watch our review of it. So there.
-
(11/23/10) In a way, coming back to review another Von Trier film is a testament to our little review webseries...
-
(11/16/10) It's been a while since we've covered a romance, but we couldn't just get to the sappy without some quirky.
-
(11/09/10) Tara Platt RETURNS!!! We're just glad she's still returning our phone calls...
-
(11/03/10) We can think of few better ways to celebrate some gun play than "The Way of the Gun".
-
(10/26/10) Funny Games is the winner of our Freaky Four Halloween Hoe Down Viewer Poll!!!.
-
(10/19/10) Our 3rd entry in the Freaky Four Halloween Hoe Down MONTH of horror movie reviews, and it's the first time we've ever re-visited a film...
-
(10/13/10) Our second film of the Freaky Four Halloween Hoe Down movie reviews for October, and we're returning to zombies! On paper, this should be one of the best movies ever made...
-
(10/05/10) We're not huge fans of musicals here, but opera is so much more cultured...
-
(09/28/10) Talk about a movie that's TOTALLY off the grid... The film follows the true historical story of the unionization of a West Virginia mining town in 1920...
-
(09/21/10) We talk about remakes A LOT on the show, so this week it was time to put our money where our mouthes are.
-
(09/12/10) If you had to pick your favorite Terrence Malick film starring Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, and Warren Oates which would you pick?
-
(09/07/10) A French produced, sly, psychological thriller about a novelist, Juan couldn't convince Lee to check it out until he said one word. Boobs.
-
(08/31/10) Existential commentary in the guise of a French zombie movie! Yeah!
-
(08/24/10) Space travel science fiction can be tricky to pull off...
-
(08/18/10) Please join us for a chat with a really close friend (and another film fanatic), as we talk about a super stylized, animated, crime drama!
-
(08/10/10) It really speaks to the level of awesome in our audience that this is quite possibly the most requested film we've ever had...
-
(08/03/10) This film was lovingly described to me as a "Shaun of the Dead" style satire of classic blaxploition films.
-
(07/27/10) Having now covered a couple noir flicks, we thought it was time to cover not only a fantastic noir, but the grand-daddy of ALL heist films.
-
(07/20/10) The coffee is for closers...
-
(07/14/10) After reviewing 'Harold and Maude' with guest host Daran Norris (ep55), we HAD to return to Hal Ashby!
-
(07/07/10) You wanted a Western, so we're giving you a film set in Australia!
-
(06/29/10) Episode 60! And to celebrate we're reviewing a fan request, dubbed the best driving movie of all time.
-
(06/22/10) No no really. Marie suggested this film MONTHS ago, and based solely on the weakness of it's title, we've been panning it just as long, that is until Marie drugged us and forced us to watch it Clockwork Orange style.
-
(06/15/10) The results from our first ever movie poll are in, and the winner is Timecrimes!
-
(06/08/10) You spoke! We listened! Overwhelmingly, the genre most asked for by you was "Musical", and we could think of no finer film to cover than 'Once'.
-
(06/02/10) So last week we teased a Robin Hood movie, and we pretty much failed. Instead Lee is bringing us a film he's been wanting to discuss for quite a while on the show.
-
(05/26/10) We had SUCH a great time with our anniversary episode, we HAD to have Bert Saxby back on the show!
-
(05/19/10) This 1980 adventure movie was once descirbed by it's author as "James Bond, minus the sex, guns, and gadgets". How does that work?
-
(05/12/10) Our FIRST Coen Brother's film, featuring an incredible cast, and a deliciously self indulgent look at creativity and writers block.
-
(05/05/10) International film and TV star Bert Saxby joins us for a look back at one full year of film and fun!
-
(04/28/10) This film really meant a lot to Juan growing up, and it's time to re-visit it!
-
(04/21/10) And for episode 50 we've got a real treat for you. Instead of a "movie you may have missed" we present to you a "movie we hope you don't miss".
-
Of course, in true MYMHM fashion, we're reviewing this movie as an attempt to save it...
-
(04/06/10) Are you ready for a little of the ultra-violence?
-
(03/31/10) Surprisingly great performances, great cinematography, and an intensely dark yet funny screenplay, this film really deserved a better limited run in theaters.
-
(03/24/10) I tried to think of a good pun for the title of this post, but the movie title is already soooooo long...
-
(03/17/10) HAPPY St. Patrick's Day!!! We REALLY should have checked our schedule better, as it just sort of happened that the movie we're talking about on this Irish holiday is 'This is England'.
-
(03/10/10) But NOT in Little China... I mean COME ON! Who DOESN'T love Dave Barry? That's what I thought, NOBODY!
-
(03/03/10) It's a FOREIGN ACTION DOUBLE FEATURE! After covering Equilibrium, we wanted to find some more fun, over the top action, and you can't really do better than 'District B13' and 'Chocolate'.
-
(02/24/10) Canadians come up with the oddest zombie flicks, so sit back and watch what you say, the "virus" is spread through understanding...
-
(02/17/10) Continuing our tradition of documentaries featuring people doing mundane things (like playing Donkey Kong) EXCEPTIONALLY well, we're proud to present 'Word Wars'!
-
(02/10/10) Quiet, cerebral, hard science fiction, easily one of the best films of 2009. Why can't more films like this succeed? Check out this Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey, Duncan Jones masterpiece!
-
(02/03/10) This indie sweetheart came out of the LA theater scene, and features an INCREDIBLE cast of leads and cameos. Bob Odenkirk has directed a comic and intimate look at strangers baring their souls.
-
(01/27/10) This 2002 flick was the first in a series of films for Bale which would make him a bankable action star, and he doesn't even need to use his Batman voice! Let's take a look at 'Equilibrium'!
-
(01/20/10) See I like it better when vampires are apex predators not hopeless romantics... Just sayin...
-
(01/13/10) This film helped a whole generation of American film fans find foreign films. This Tykwer classic is an incredible mixed media, hyper kinetic, feast for the eyes, with a story that plays with time in an interesting way.
-
(01/06/10) We realized that we wrapped 2009 with a movie titled "hate", and thought we'd start 2010 off on a better note. We could think of few films more joyous than 'Noises Off'.
-
(12/30/09) This movie comes to us as a fan request, and we're glad it did. This French film ushered in a new era of cinema realism, and it's quite possibly one that we NEVER would've found we're it not for Jodie Foster and The Criterion Collection...
-
(12/23/09) Just like for our Thanksgiving episode, our holiday episode only vaguely has anything to do with the holiday we're celebrating, though it does include one of the funniest gift giving sequences we've ever seen.
-
That's right, Mitchell Whitfield (My Cousin Vinny, TMNT) joins us to talk about this River Phoenix, Lili Taylor gem, a charming film that's a little impossible to describe. Vietnam era comedy/drama/romance?
-
(12/09/09) So it should really be called the "MYMHM American Football Movie Spectacular", as all 3 movies are about Football, but really we're just overcompensating for the fact that we've NEVER covered a sports movie here on MYMHM.
-
(12/02/09) The big 3-0, and to celebrate, Lee's roommate Tuck joins us to talk about this Fred Zinneman classic!
-
(11/25/09) This is quite possibly the worst reviewed movie we've ever discussed, ranking only 19% over at Rotten Tomatoes, and we love every minute of it!
-
(11/11/09) Igby Goes Down features an incredible cast (with some really unexpected break out performances), great city cinemetography, and a charming story of a wandering youth.
-
We've been a little short on classic adventure movies here at MYMHM, so we thought we'd make up for it with a doozy!
-
(11/04/09) KoK follows competetive Donky Kong players as they try to break a high score set TWENTY years before. Have you played Donkey Kong recently? It's REALLY effing hard...
-
(10/28/09) 'The Omen' is one of those films that is extremely well known, but interestingly enough is one few of our friends had actually seen...
-
Guest episodes are so much fun, and we can think of few finer guests than the lovely Tara Platt. She's a true renaissance woman: on-camera/voice over actress, producer, and now author. She brought the movie this week, and it truly was an MYMHM.
-
Take a HILARIOUS ROMP through the world of THREE STRANGERS.... No wait I instantly HATE that movie...
-
(10/07/09) What happens when you take a fairly well respected playwrite, let him write and direct his script, and then cast Colin Farrel, Ralph Fienes, and Brendan Gleeson?
-
(09/30/09) Our first NON-ZOMBIE horror flick, doesn't mean it's not still about the undead! Vampires are all the rage these days...
-
(09/23/09) We have a doosey of a movie for you this week! Scorsese! DeNiro! Lewis! Bernhardt?
-
It's a SUPER dark, Belgian, comedic mockumentary!
-
This is also our most contentious episode yet, while we both enjoyed the movie, we very much disagreed on Lars Von Trier's role in the film.
-
Guest host Kristyn Burtt from The Web Files drops by to chat about the 1945 noir classic 'Mildred Pierce'!
-
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's directorial priemier is tricky!
-
(08/19/09) Justin Lin's Asian-American teen crime drama 'Better Luck Tomorrow' is the perfect way to clense the pallet.
-
(08/12/09) A frigging INTENSE melodrama and an incredible piece of cinema, but did we like it?
-
(08/05/09) A John Frankenheimer CLASSIC which unrolls like a well polished episode of The Twilight Zone. DVD is unfortunately out of print...
-
(07/29/09) Our first guest episode! Animation star, author, and indie film producer Yuri Lowenthal brings us this terrifying flick from Spain!
-
(07/22/09) An incredible coming of age story staring Shia LaBeouf, Channing Tatum, Robert Downey Jr, Dianne Wiest, Rosario Dawson, and Chazz Palminteri. Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with religion...
-
(07/15/09) An adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's novel of the same name. It really is supposed to be a comedy. It's ok to laugh...
-
(07/07/09) Miyazaki's 1997 masterpiece! An action fantasy about balance, nature, and featuring an all star American voice cast!
-
(07/01/09) Take a look at this Canadian cult Zombie comedy staring Carrie-Anne Moss and Billy Connolly!
-
(06/23/09) Quite possibley the smartest movie on time travel ever made, and it was shot for only $7000! SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!
-
(06/17/09) 2005 high school film noir, directed by Rian Johnson ('The Brothers Bloom') and staring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
-
(06/10/09) 2008 independent film staring Alan Rickman, Bill Pullman (Paxton?), and Chris Pine (Capt. Kirk from the new Star Trek) in a bad wig.
-
(06/03/09) George Romero's 1968 Zombie masterpiece 'Night Of The Flesh Eaters'. It's in the public domain! You can watch it for free LEGALLY!
-
(05/27/09) William Shatner stars as an anti-integrationist racist rabble rouser in this Roger Corman classic.
-
(05/20/09) William H Macy plays the BEST lovable losers, and this film is no exception. Also stars Alec Baldwin and Maria Bello [Audio only]
-
(05/13/09) The episode that started it all. Here's our review of Tarsem's (The Cell) 2006 storytelling classic.
