Both in solidarity with his striking brethren and because his choice is a genuine genre-shifter, an icon among horror flicks, Mr. Smith goes to the zombies and we talk about George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead.

A bit of talk about the strike, a dive into the glorious 1973 Newman/Redford film The Sting, and in solidarity, no trailers for upcoming films.

It’s a fan favorite, live from the streets of Chicago and featuring some of the best musical artists of a generation. Also, more cars are destroyed in this film than in almost any other. It’s The Blues Brothers!

Three Dons! As a Father’s Day extravaganza, Donnie invited his dad, Don the Elder to join us as we talk all things Bond and specifically Thunderball.

The dudes have yet to deal with sports movies so Hall picks a classic—The Natural.

The boys dive into the classic eighties comedy A Fish Called Wanda!

Don brings out his big guns with his single favorite movie of all time—Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. This is a meaty discussion, gang.

Donnie invites his cousin Nikki, co-host of the America’s Asses podcast, to come on our show and argue about movies. She chooses a Marvel film and he loses his mind. Luckily, she chose Werewolf by Night.

Donnie picks a superhero movie! Holy shit!

The Professor and the Madman get into it over one of the cheesiest/sleeziest movies of the late nineties, John McNaughton’s Wild Things. The film causes the boys to get into some dicey territory about what is and is not acceptable in film from days gone by.

Don and Don are joined by filmmaker/podcaster Derek Hayes to discuss the Oscars, Derek’s new documentary, and The Mothman Prophecies (the movie, not the actual prophecies…).

Joining Don & Donnie is Co-Editor of Literate Ape and cinephile, David Himmel and we discuss the best decade for film as well as the greatest mishmash compilation of awesomeness in all of the eighties Big Trouble in Little China.

The boys introduce a new feature and talk some industry scuttlebutt, then launch into a deep dive into Joel Schumacher’s 1993 film Falling Down.

The white dudes with attitudes disagree on the impact of TÁR then dive right into a favorite space comedy for both—Galaxy Quest. The discussion proves that this film is universally appealing to Trek fans (Don) and non-Trek fans (Donnie) alike. Finally Don surprises Donnie with his Trailer Geek choice this week.

The boys jump into the musicalization of divinity with 1973’s Jesus Christ Superstar, which according to Hall was written by Salman Rushdie. Don’t ask.

What do you get when you get two musical theater geeks geeking out on Tim Burton’s filmed version of arguably the greatest musical written by Sondheim? Some serious musical theater overload!

Closing out the year in films, D&D talk New Year’s Eve movies and find that the holiday is pretty bleak with serial killers, cuckolds killing themselves, and cruise ships capsizing. Happy Effing 2023!

As D&D approach the end of 2022, they have a showdown: if aliens came down and wanted to see one movie in order to understand the concept of Christmas, which would it be? Don chooses 1984’s BBC version of A Christmas Carol (which Donnie uniformly humbugs). Donnie chooses the Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye musical White Christmas.

Plus a list of the Christmas Day playlists of Christmas-themed films to bolster your holiday in true I Like to Watch fashion.

The I Like to Watch Podcast is now one year old and our first anniversary, Don and Donnie go through the fifty+ trailers we were looking forward to during 2022. We were right about some and really wrong about others. Strap in, Professor!

Don has a fond attachment to Thanksgiving; Donnie does not. The two cover their favorite (or otherwise) Thanksgiving foods and movies about or taking place on the holiday in between Halloween and Christmas. Just wait until we do Arbor Day movies!
