Hi, my name is Andrew, and I watch movies. I have watched thousands of movies in my life, and enjoy writing, and talking about them. There is no discrimination based on genre or age here, I watch 'em all, and podcast about them. Sometimes, I even watch the movies with other people, and have an after movie conversations on the show. I hope everyone enjoys the evolution of this podcast, and our journey through the film world together. Let's start the conversation!

31 Days of Halloween: "Bride of Frankenstein" and "Masters of Horror: Deer Woman"

October 07, 2018 07:30 - 21 minutes - 20.1 MB

Today is Jess's Birthday, so our 7th day of the 31 Films of Halloween journey is dedicated to one of her favorites, "The Bride of Frankenstein". This is an absolute classic, one that still holds up in a way today, a time capsule to a different age with extraordinarily good special effects for the age.  We also checked out episode 7 of "Masters of Horror: Deer Woman". This chapter from John Landis is an absolute delight. Find it streaming on Screambox.com

31 Days of Halloween: "Black Sunday" and "Masters of Horror: Homecoming"

October 06, 2018 07:30 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MB

Join Jess and Andrew for Day 6 of our 31 Films of Halloween journey. Today, our film is Mario Bava's "Black Sunday" AKA "The Mask of Satan". I actually like the alternative title better, and that is the one the film uses for the version streaming on Shudder. There are a few films that we've picked for this month that are new to us as well. This is one of them, and it was a wonderful surprise.  Joe Dante's (Gremlins) chapter of "Masters of Horror" is an absolute delight. In an era where an ...

31 Films of Halloween: "The Exorcist" and "Masters of Horror: Right to Die"

October 05, 2018 22:46 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MB

For Day 25 of our 31 Films of Halloween journey, we land on the scariest film of all time, The Exorcist. Seeing this on the big screen was an amazing experience that we recommend to everyone. For home viewing, it can be found on Filmstruck.com.  Andrew also continues his Master's of Horror journey with Right to Die. 

31 Days of Halloween: "The Witch" and "Masters of Horror: Chocolate"

October 05, 2018 07:30 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MB

On day 5 of our 31 Days of Halloween journey, it's time to get down to something frightening. "The Witch" is the film that gets under Jess's skin like no other, and can readily be found right now on Netflix. This is a slow burn, artful type horror film, different than your everyday slasher. It takes patience with the story, and the language, but is very rewarding. We recommend watching it with the subtitles on...as well as the lights.  Andrew also continues on the "Masters of Horror" journ...

31 Films of Halloween: "Housebound" and "Masters of Horror: Jenifer"

October 04, 2018 07:30 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MB

New Zealand makes some great horror films, mixing in a dark comedic streak that we just can't seem to replicate with often times outlandish gore. While not as gory as anything Peter Jackson put out, "Housebound" might be my favorite of the horror from the region. This is a great spin on the haunted house genre, combining it with a great family comedy. I wish this were streaming somewhere, but it's worth the rental price, or "liberation" from a site you can find.  We also continue with our ...

31 Films of Halloween: "Scream" and "Masters of Horror: Dance of the Dead"

October 03, 2018 07:30 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

Today, on the 3rd day of our 31 Films of Halloween journey, we are going to take a look at an under appreciated horror film, one that went completely under the radar...wait..."Scream"? Well, people have seen that. Looks like we are re-visiting a Halloween season favorite with "Scream". Tis the season for Pop Secret, and your favorite Ghost Faced villains.  Andrew also watches what ended up being the only chapter of the "Masters of Horror" series that he didn't like, "Dance of the Dead". If...

31 Films of Halloween: "Tales from the Darkside" and "Masters of Horror: Dreams in the Witch-House"

October 02, 2018 07:30 - 22 minutes - 21 MB

Join Jess and Andrew on day 2 of our 31 Films of Halloween journey. Today we are watching "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie", which is streaming now on HBO. A gauntlet was thrown by a podcast we love when they stated that "Tales from the Darkside" was a better anthology series than "Creepshow". We saw this as a "challenge accepted" moment, and decided to watch Tales. The fact that it's our second streaming feature this month should tell you where we fell on this. Andrew also continues as...

31 Films of Halloween: "Season of the Witch" and "Masters of Horror: Incident On and Off a Mountain Road"

October 01, 2018 07:30 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

Welcome to our favorite time of year at Andrew Watches Movies. Today marks day 1 of our journey through the month of October. Today, we are going to revisit one of the most maligned sequels of all time. The Great Joe Bob Briggs once said that this was the worst sequel of all time. We think that isn't a fair assessment anymore, and only applies to those who were upset it didn't feature Michael Meyers. For what it is, it's a great addition into what should have been an anthology film series. T...

The Wheel: Diabolique: The Devils

September 28, 2018 15:25 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

The Wheel is a segment that we do at Andrew Watches Movies every week (unless school pushes it back a little for Jess). It's a "movie club" we are trying to start on the show, and hope that people follow along with. There are 18 choices The Wheel, and last week it landed on "Diabolique", which is streaming on Filmstruck and Amazon Prime. Andrew was extremely excited to show this to Jess for the first time, as watching someone else try to guess what is going on, and how it will end is just as...

Assassination Nation and A Simple Favor

September 27, 2018 17:21 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

Join Jess and Andrew as they travel to the cineplex to see "Assassination Nation". This was a criminally underseen film its first weekend, and I hope some good word of mouth can help it recover for week 2. This is one hell of a satire of our messed up society.  Andrew also gets a chance to see "A Simple Favor" a fantastic comedy that the studios attempted to disguise as a thriller in the trailers.  AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary:  https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/films/diary/ ...

"In the Mouth of Madness", "Pyewacket", "Emelie", "Phantasm"

September 24, 2018 18:47 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MB

Preparing for the October/Shocktober season, the vault is being cleared. Films covered are:  In the Mouth of Madness- Jess and I cover the last great film John Carpenter has made so far. This one is streaming on Shudder, and is a must see for all Carpenter/Horror fans. Phantasm- The 1979 classic has a restored version on Shudder, and holds its place in the annals of Horror history.  Emelie- Every parents worst nightmare is contained within this little indie thriller streaming on Netfli...

Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich, Stepfather, High Tension

September 20, 2018 05:05 - 1 hour - 71.3 MB

This episode, we are doing a little bit of "Fall Cleaning" with an wide array of films that have been sitting on the shelf for us for too long. We have a HUGE October coming up, so I want to clean out our backlog before the month starts. On this episode, we are going to be visiting the "Puppet Master" hotel for the latest chapter of the series, "The Littlest Reich". This may be the most fun film in the entire franchise. "The Babysitter" on Netflix was the latest film to distract Jess, an...

"Blaze", "Lizzie", "Mandy": A New Release Episode

September 17, 2018 06:15 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MB

Join Jess and Andrew on their journeys to the Cineplex. This week, Andrew got a chance to see a showing of the limited release "Blaze" from Writer/Director Ethan Hawke. This is a film that deserves a wider release, which is a theme with this episode. Every one of these has too limited of a release right now. We got to see the new film about Lizzie Borden from Chloe Sevigny, and Kristen Stewart. This film is also extremely limited right now, playing in 4 theaters nationwide.  The real cri...

Paying off The Great Dictator, and The Predator series

September 14, 2018 07:30 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MB

Jess and Andrew got the chance to pay off The Wheel with a viewing of Charlie Chaplin's 1940 film, "The Great Dictator". This important film has a beautiful transfer that can be seen on Filmstruck.com. We also got the chance to see 1987's "Predator" on the big screen in advance of the sequel coming out this weekend. Judging from the critic's reviews of the new one, it's abysmal...and they're completely wrong about it. "The Predator" from writer/director Shane Black was a blast, one of the ...

"The Basement", "The Domestics", "Slice", "Novitiate", and "Eden Lake"

September 13, 2018 07:00 - 47 minutes - 43 MB

On this episode, Andrew takes a look at a new B-Horror film with a limited theatrical release this weekend, "The Basement" starring Mischa Barton. It may be a bit close to last year's "Split", but damn was it entertaining.  "The Domestics" was another really good Grindhouse type film that came out earlier this summer, and one that is an excellent choice on VOD right now.  "Slice" is a new Comedy/Horror(?) that comes to streaming this weekend. Many will probably like it, but Andrew might ...

"The Nun", "Blood Fest", "Five Fingers for Marseilles", "Boarding School": A New Release Episode

September 10, 2018 16:24 - 51 minutes - 47 MB

This week, Jess got dragged to see the new Religsploitation movie that dominated the box office; "The Nun". Unfortunately, this was the only movie Jess was able to attend, so you're stuck with Andrew for "Blood Fest" (VOD), "Five Fingers for Marseilles" (Limited Theaters, VOD), and "Boarding School" (VOD). It's a shame that Jess was only able to join us for "The Nun", as the others were also really good, but that was a damn good conversation.  Please check out our Poster Giveaway Contest: ...

Peppermint Review and interview with John Ortiz

September 08, 2018 04:56 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MB

*Stay after the review for an interview with John Ortiz, who was one of the stars of the film. Huge thank you to Greg Srisavasdi from DeepestDream.com and the podcast CinemAddicts for setting the interview up. I'm very grateful for the opportunity.*  Jess and I have seen the low reviews for the film, and could not disagree with them more. On our podcast she gave it 4 out of 5 stars, and I gave it 3.5 out of 5. Both of those would be positive reviews from some picky moviegoers. We were both...

"Office Horror Trilogy", "Turbo Kid", "Heathers", "Inland Empire"

September 06, 2018 07:03 - 1 hour - 58 MB

On this episode of Andrew Watches Movies, Andrew goes on a quest to find a horror movie the equivalent of "Office Space", believing the corporate environment is one rife with horror opportunity for fun horror plots. This journey involves "Severance" (Shudder), "Mayhem" (Shudder), and "The Belko Experiment" (Showtime).  Andrew also takes a suggestion from friend of the show Brad, and checks out Turbo Kid (Netflix), an earlier film from the makers of "Summer of '84". Jess was able to take ...

"Juliet, Naked", "What Keeps You Alive", "The Little Stranger": A New Release Episode.

September 03, 2018 05:54 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MB

"Juliet, Naked", "What Keeps You Alive", "The Little Stranger": A New Release Episode. Join Jess and Andrew for another trip to the Cineplex. This week, Jess was stuck in the books, so Andrew ended up seeing a couple of these alone. This doesn't mean Jess isn't a part of the conversation, though. Like with Solo, Andrew explains "Juliet, Naked" to Jess, as she has an opinion on the type of film "Juliet" turned into, and the trend in film that is similar to it.  Andrew also saw the new IFC M...

Happy Gillmore, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Graham Skipper Trilogy

August 30, 2018 15:49 - 57 minutes - 53 MB

*We still owe you a wheel. Jess really wants to participate in Inland Empire, but won't be able to until Saturday. That will be put out in a standalone episode on Tuesday of next week.  On this episode, Jess and Andrew explore a trilogy of independent films on Shudder and Netflix. Each is starring Graham Skipper, an interesting actor who caught our eye, and grew on us while watching the films. Almost Human and The Mind's Eye are both streaming on Shudder, Beyond the Gates is on Netflix. We...

Skate Kitchen, The Wife, We The Animals, Searching, and BuyBust: A New Release Episode

August 27, 2018 17:01 - 1 hour - 58.9 MB

Join Jess and Andrew on their newest adventure to the Cineplex. On this episode, we catch you all up on a few movies that may have fallen through the cracks as Jess begins graduate school. Buybust, The Wife, and We The Animals have all been stuck in our heads since seeing them about a week ago, and we had to let you all know about them before they're gone. We also took in a double feature at theaters across town from each other. We had to see Skate Kitchen in the theater, and are glad we...

Support the Girls-- Review and Interviews with Regina Hall, Haley Lu Richardson, and Shayna McHayle

August 23, 2018 16:20 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

This is a little bit of a different episode of Andrew Watches Movies. On this episode, Andrew was sent on assignment by Greg Srisavasdi of Deepestdreem.com and the podcast CinemAddicts to interview Regina Hall, Haley Lu Richardson, and Shayna McHayle at an undisclosed location in Beverly Hills. The video for this will be on the website AndrewWatchesMovies.com in a bit, but an isolated segment (probably the best one) is on DeepestDream.com right now. Andrew is extremely grateful for being abl...

Summer of '84, Crazy Rich Asians, The Miseducation of Cameron Post: A New Release Episode

August 20, 2018 16:43 - 45 minutes - 42.5 MB

Join Jess and Andrew on their adventures to the cineplex. This week, we checked out the surprisingly wonderful Summer of '84. We wish it were playing wider, but it will be on VOD on the 24th. We made our way to the huge hit of the weekend, Crazy Rich Asians, and I took a solo trip to see "The Miseducation of Cameron Post". We hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed seeing the films. 

Take Shelter, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Small Town Crime, Grave of the Fireflies, Barton Fink

August 16, 2018 21:22 - 1 hour - 60.1 MB

Join Jess and Andrew as we explore some older films that are either streaming, or available on physical media. This week we watched Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain in Take Shelter, We took a trip to the theater to watch the Iranian set vampire film "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, and stayed home for the Netflix film Small Town Crime. We chose a classic animation film that happened to be playing in theaters this week with "Grave of the Fireflies", and paid off the wheel with "Barton F...

We're Back, Baby! "Robin Williams", "Temple Grandin", "CHUD", "The Searchers", "Seven Samurai"

August 09, 2018 16:31 - 1 hour - 65.8 MB

It's been a while since Jess and Andrew have been able to do a regular episode, the heat in their apartment has been just unbearable. Now, they have joined the modern age, and HAVE AIR CONDITIONING! So we are back with an episode dedicated to streaming titles, and this is a great one. This week, the focus is on "Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind" on HBO, "Temple Grandin" on HBO and Amazon Prime, the classic horror film "C.H.U.D" which is more overlooked than it should be, and streaming on ...

Puzzle, Dead Night, Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot- A New Release Episode

August 06, 2018 14:58 - 37 minutes - 34.8 MB

Join Jess and Andrew as they head to the cineplex to see "Puzzle", "Dead Night", and Don't Worry He Won't Get Far on Foot.  AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary:  https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/films/diary/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndrewWatchesTV Moses's Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-298402626 Mike Dietrich's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mike.dietrich.art

"Hot Summer Nights", "Mission Impossible: Fallout", "Blindspotting": A New Release Episode

July 31, 2018 19:03 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MB

Join Andrew and Jess on their adventures to the cineplex. This week, we beat the heat seeing "Hot Summer Nights", "Mission Impossible: Fallout", and fantastic surprise that is "Blindspotting". We are getting Air Conditioning on Thursday, so the regular programming schedule of 2 episodes a week will return next week. It's been tough in this 90-100 degree apartment. All will be well in time though. Thank you to our regular listeners for your patience with this. We love you for it.  AndrewWat...

Unfriended, Ruin Me, Sorry To Bother You, Eighth Grade: A New Release Episode

July 23, 2018 19:40 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MB

Join Jess and Andrew on their adventures to the cineplex, and one new release watched streaming on Shudder.  We started out the weekend seeing Unfriended: Dark Web, mostly because it was the film playing closest to us. They say 'you get what you pay for', I guess that holds with getting the return on the effort you put in as well.  We followed that up with a very pleasant surprise; "Ruin Me", which is streaming right now on Shudder.com. This is a fun horror film with a great concept. High...

Joe Bob Briggs- The Last Drive In

July 20, 2018 02:15 - 1 hour - 62.6 MB

In our household, Friday the 13th is a holiday that can happen up to three times a year. This past one, July 13th, has to be one of the best ones that comes to mind. Despite the internet being broken for a period of time by Mr Briggs, and his return of the MonsterVision format, it was an event that more than delivered on its promises. They say you can't revisit you're youth, but for an evening, I felt like I was able to. Jess had never seen MonsterVision before, so I had the double thrill ...

Revenge, Nightmare on Elm Street 3, and Green Room: A Best of Episode

July 16, 2018 18:50 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MB

Jess and Andrew were holed up all weekend watching a brilliant marathon on Shudder from Joe Bob Briggs (MonsterVision), so we were a little tied up. We thought about doing a podcast while it was going on, but it was too perfect to interrupt. Instead of rushing through an episode dedicated to the greatness of Joe Bob Briggs, we will be putting it out later in the week. Until then, enjoy this tale of "Revenge", "Dream Warriors", and "Green Room"; a trilogy that would make the great man proud. ...

Friday the 13th 1-4

July 12, 2018 15:55 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MB

Join Jess and Andrew as they celebrate Friday the 13th in the best possible way; with a relaxing trip to camp Crystal Lake. Andrew has a slight obsession with the series, and a large tattoo devoted to it, so this is a fun, in depth conversation on the series. We hope you enjoy it. 

"Ant Man and The Wasp", "Whitney", "The King": A New Release Episode

July 09, 2018 18:30 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MB

"We're havin' a heat wave, a Los Angeles heat wave" Yes, it was a hot one this weekend. Jess and Andrew had seen every narrative film in theaters (except a couple commercial ones that they were never going to see), so we had to dig deep into the documentaries to stay out of the heat this weekend.  Join us as we travel to the cineplex to see "Ant Man and The Wasp", the new shiny object from Marvel Studios. We also saw "Whitney", then new documentary on the tragic life and death of Whitney...

"Three Identical Strangers", "Ideal Home", "House of the Devil", "The First Purge": A New Release Episode

July 05, 2018 21:45 - 51 minutes - 46.7 MB

Join Jess and Andrew on another adventure to the cineplex. It's hot, and we don't have air conditioning, so there is going to be an increase in theater going the next two months, and the reason for two new release episodes this week.  We started our adventure at The Landmark for the limited release documentary "Three Identical Strangers". I really hope this goes wider so everyone can enjoy the mystery.  Taking advantage of limited release opportunities again, we saw "Ideal Home", the new...

"RGB", "Sicario: Day of the Soldado", "Gotti", "Leave No Trace": A New Release Episode

July 02, 2018 06:34 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

Join Jess and Andrew on their adventures to the cineplex. This week, we finally got around to celebrating the career of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the documentary "RBG".  With expectations that may have been too elevated due to the original, we saw "Sicario: Day of the Soldado" at a sold out showing that was filled with inappropriate laughter throughout.  Jess wouldn't join me, but I had to check out "Gotti" with the correct sense of morbid curiosity.  We finished off our journey with a ...

"Jurassic World", "Damsel", "Eating Animals": A New Release Episode

June 28, 2018 21:11 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MB

Join Jess and Andrew for their further adventures through the cineplex. This week, we saw the Oscar worthy "Jurassic World:The Fallen Kingdom", a classic that will be remembered eternally. We also saw "Damsel", the new Robert Pattinson and Mia Wasikowska film that was actually good. I'll take a mini horse over CGI dinosaurs any day. We rounded our week off with the Natalie Portman narrated documentary "Eating Animals", which seemed like a nice double feature with the Dino park movie.  ...

"The Lodgers", "Cinema Paradiso", "Lord of War", "Ace in the Hole", "My Neighbor Totoro"

June 26, 2018 15:04 - 1 hour - 58.2 MB

Jess and Andrew had a great time with the films this week. We started with a CinemAddicts recommendation with "The Lodgers". Needing a pick me up, we revisited the Italian classic "Cinema Paradiso", and found exactly what we were looking for. Our journey through The Cage Files continued with "Lord of War", a lesser seen film that deserved a better audience. Our classic of the week is from one of our favorites, Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole", serving as a reminder from Kirk Douglas on...

"Quiz Show", "Sixth Sense", "Rosemary's Baby", "Dead Ringers", "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans"

June 21, 2018 16:22 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MB

On this episode of "Andrew Watches Movies", Andrew checked out Robert Redford's drama "Quiz Show" on Netflix; Jess and Andrew were still on a "Hereditary" kick, so they checked out "The Sixth Sense" with Toni Colette, and the classic "Rosemary's Baby". We continued The Cage Files with "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans", and paid off the wheel with David Cronenberg's "Dead Ringers".  AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary:  https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/films/diary/ Twitter: h...

"Incredibles 2", "Hearts Beat Loud", "Tag": A New Release Episode

June 18, 2018 20:18 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MB

Join Jess and Andrew on their further adventures at the Cineplex. This weekend started with a sequel that went leaps and bounds above its predecessor, “The Incredibles 2”. The joyful feeling continued with the crowd pleasing “Hearts Beat Loud”. One of our biggest wishes is that this would have been released wider to find an audience similar to “Love, Simon”, but that might have to wait for the streaming services. The weekend was rounded out with an alright game of “Tag”, though not one th...

"Hereditary" SPOILER EPISODE!!!!

June 15, 2018 07:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MB

THIS IS A SPOILER EPISODE FOR "HEREDITARY". IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM DO NOT LISTEN, UNLESS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FILM OR SPOILERS. IF THAT IS THE CASE, PLEASE ENJOY THE HELL OUT OF IT. WE HAD A BLAST RECORDING IT! Now I'll stop yelling. Enjoy the episode, it isn't supposed to be one all about hidden meanings, or explaining endings, it's just a conversation where we have the freedom to explore one of our new favorite horror films without caring about the spoilers. 

"Won't You Be My Neighbor", "Hereditary", "The Babadook": A Theatrical Episode

June 14, 2018 07:00 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MB

Join us in “Jess and Andrew’s Further Adventures Through the Cineplex” This week, we take an emotional journey to Mr Rodgers Neighborhood in “Won’t You Be My Neighbor”. I’m not sure what the qualifications for sainthood are, but this is the portrait of a man who should be in consideration. We then ruined any positive thoughts “Neighbor” may have imbedded with near constant viewings (3), of Hereditary. This is a new horror classic that will join the ranks next to “The Exorcist” and “Rosemar...

"The Village", "Death Wish", "Last Flag Flying", "It Happened One Night", "Eraserhead", "Snake Eyes"

June 11, 2018 18:57 - 1 hour - 76.4 MB

On this episode of "Andrew Watches Movies", Andrew revisits M Night Shayamalan's "The Village", finding it more accommodating than the first time. Andrew disagrees vehemently with critics about the remake of "Death Wish", and revisits a film that he himself didn't like in theaters "Last Flag Flying". Andrew and Jess watch the classic "It Happened One Night" which has a very limited run on Filmstruck, so get on with watching it. The Wheel led us to the weirdness of "Eraserhead". If you jo...

"Upgrade", "Disobedience", "American Animals", "Groupers": A New Release Episode

June 07, 2018 21:43 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MB

Jess and Andrew take another journey through the cineplex for a wide array of new releases:The new Blumhouse film "Upgrade" was a bloody good time, "Disobedience" passed time through an ocean of repression, "American Animals" was a heist that stole our hearts, and "Groupers" is a premier from Anderson Cowan that we finally got to see. We've been waiting on that since, well, we both worked on it through the entire shoot.  AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary:  https://letterboxd.com/andrewm...

"Boyhood", "The Tale", "Silence", "In the Fade", "A Fantastic Woman"

June 04, 2018 07:30 - 1 hour - 67.3 MB

On this episode, Jess and Andrew check out a pair of foreign language films; "In the Fade" starring Diane Krueger, and "A Fantastic Woman" which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film last year.  We watched Richard Linklater's "Boyhood", and Andrew checked out the only Martin Scorsese film that had he hadn't seen (mostly due to length), "Silence".  AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary:  https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/films/diary/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndrewWatchesTV ...

"Bad News Bears", "Eight Men Out", "Bull Duhram", and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"

May 31, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MB

On this episode, Jess and Andrew round a loaded baseball diamond with the original "Bad News Bears", "Eight Men Out", and "Bull Duhram".  We also explore the good old American tradition of happy matrimony in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf".  Andrew also finishes off the series "Black Mirror" with the episode "Black Museum".  AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary:  https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/films/diary/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndrewWatchesTV Moses's Soundcloud: https...

"Feral", "How to Talk to Girls at Parties", and "Solo": A New Release Episode

May 28, 2018 04:13 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MB

Jess and Andrew continue their adventures through the cineplex. This weekend we got to see the new IFC Midnight movie “Feral”, a werewolf mythology with a twist. We enjoyed John Cameron Mitchell’s new opus of the bizarre, “How to Talk to Girls at Parties”. Jess wasn’t as interested in the big release of the weekend so Andrew went to see “Solo”…not going there…he went alone to see the movie.   AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary:  https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/films/diary/ ...

"Fahrenheit 451", "Thief", "Dreamscape", "Blue is the Warmest Color"

May 24, 2018 07:00 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MB

Jess and Andrew have been hotly anticipating HBO's "Fahrenheit 451" adaptation since they saw the first trailer. Would it live up to the hype?  We check out another Michael Mann film streaming on Hulu with "Thief" Andrew takes a look at 1984's "Dreamscape", and how it tapped into the same Zeitgeist as West Craven with "Nightmare on Elm Street" Either "Blue is the Warmest Color", or it is a film that left us both ice cold. Only time will tell.  AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary:  h...
