"Deep Red", "I Am Not a Serial Killer", "Josie", "Leaving Las Vegas", "Peeping Tom"
May 03, 2018 10:00 - 52 minutes - 47.8 MBWhile Jess was studying for an entrance exam, Andrew needed to find something to do...which meant he was going to watch some movies. "I Am Not a Serial Killer" with Christopher Lloyd, "Leaving Las Vegas" with an often unhinged Nic Cage, "Josie", and Michael Powell's "Peeping Tom" hit the docket for the week. Jess isn't completely absent on this episode, she was able to join in for Dario Argento's slasher classic "Deep Red", which exceeded both of our expectations. AndrewWatchesMovies.c...
"Chappaquiddick" and "Avengers: Infinity War": A New Release Episode
April 30, 2018 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBJess and Andrew took a trip to "Chappaquiddick" island in the movie theater, a slice of history that may be overlooked as time marches on. We also enjoy a spoiler free conversation on "Avengers: Infinity War". The spoilers are gonna come later in the week. We aren't always fans of the Superhero Comic genre, but this was just something we had to see for ourselves.

"All the Money in the World", "Drugstore Cowboy", "Loveless", "The 400 Blows", "Cloud Atlas"
April 26, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBThis week, Andrew catches up on a couple films he regretted missing around award's season with "All the Money in the World", and "Loveless". One of Andrew's favorites from his youth, "Drugstore Cowboy", is streaming on Amazon and Hulu, so that got another viewing. Jess and Andrew revisit the beginnings of the French New Wave with "The 400 Blows". The wheel landed on the beautiful, but confusing "Cloud Atlas", which was still a step up from "Irreversible".

"Wilding", "Gemini", "The Rider", "Kodachrome": A New Release Episode
April 23, 2018 07:00 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBJess and Andrew's adventures to the cineplex continued through a very sparse new release week. "Super Troopers 2" and "I Feel Pretty" were movies not made for us, so we did not see either of them, opting for some smaller films that we had missed instead with "Wilding", "Gemini", "The Rider", and "Kodachrome".

"Fruitvale station", "Hunt for the Wilderpeople", "Splendor in the Grass"
April 19, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 65 MBDespite Andrew's aversion to most comic movies, he must admit that the last 3 Marvel releases (Spiderman: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, and Black Panther) were all pretty good. Giving respect to the previous work of the directors of those, we did a pretty deep dive into "Clown", "Hunt for the Wilderpeople", and "Fruitvale Station". We explore HBO's entertaining ode to the Eighth Wonder of the World: Andre The Giant. Only one film can say it introduce Warren Beatty to the screen, and that o...
Lean on Pete, You Were Never Really Here, The Endless, Borg vs McEnroe: A New Release Episode
April 16, 2018 07:39 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MBJess and Andrew enjoyed a long Friday the 13th weekend at the theater; beginning their odyssey on a Thursday with "Lean on Pete", a film that should remain long in memory. We take a walk on the psychotic side with Joaquin Phoenix in "You Were Never Really Here" A disagreement in debate is always fun, and the opinions differ on the independent Horror film "The Endless", all disagreement came in good fun. The weekend was rounded off with a tennis match between Sverrir Gudnason (Borg) ...
"Blockers", "Sweet Country"," A Quiet Place": A New Release Episode
April 12, 2018 07:00 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBAs the temperature rises (it rose to around 90 in LA today), the quality of movies get better. Jess and Andrew had a great weekend at the movies; taking in showings of "Blockers", the Australian Western "Sweet Country", and the weekend's surprise hit "A Quiet Place". In honor of "A Quiet Place", and Friday the 13th coming up this week, we have a discussion about Horror, why we love it, and a couple of movies we would suggest for the Holiday (yes we believe Friday the 13th is a Holiday). ...
20th Century Women, Paterno, The Misfits, Veronica
April 09, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBSifting through the horror on Netflix, Jess and Andrew were treated to the Ouija nightmare Veronica. Curious about the new Al Pacino HBO movie, Paterno was given a chance. 20th Century Women is streaming on Amazon, and a film that we are ashamed we missed when it first came out. Maybe it was the title, maybe the advertising, but we made a mistake passing up on it before. Andrew revisits "The Misfits", Marilyn Monroe's last film, and a classic that is expiring from Filmstruck soon. ...
Greatest Showman, Last Picture Show, Tangerine
April 05, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBAndrew had an alright time watching "Moonrise Kingdom", but may still have some apologizing to do to Wes Anderson fans after this episode. The "Ingrid Goes West" Portion went a bit more smoothly, but the surprise of the week was "The Greatest Showman", Jess and Andrew had a great time with that one. We revisit Peter Bogdanovich's masterpiece "The Last Picture Show", and pay off the wheel with Sean Baker's "Tangerine". AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary: https://letterboxd.com/andrewmar...
"Love, Simon", "Ready Player One", "Isle of Dogs": A New Release Show
April 02, 2018 07:00 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MBJess and Andrew took a trip to the movies to see "Ready Player One", "Love, Simon", and "Isle of Dogs". Wish that we could say we loved all three of these, but that would be a gigantic lie. Warning: Andrew might go "full rant mode" during the "Isle of Dogs" review. Our conversation is at least twice as entertaining as the film.

Garry Shandling, Big Little Lies, and the March Wrap up
March 31, 2018 22:00 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MBJess and Andrew take an inventory of the best things they've seen in the month of march, including "The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling" and "Big Little Lies".

Our All Time Top Ten List, Vertigo, Professor Marston, and Waiting for Guffman
March 26, 2018 18:28 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBWhile researching the classic "Vertigo", Jess and Andrew decide to compile their lists of the top 10 films of all time. While we were forced to endure the tortures of "Martyrs", we did find the unexpected treat "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women", chronicling the creation of the comic. This may have been the best origin story ever. AndrewWatchesMovies.com Film diary: https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/films/diary/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndrewWatchesTV Moses's Soundclou...
Wind River, Hustle & Flow, Marie Antoinette
March 22, 2018 07:00 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBNetflix has done us all a favor. If you missed "Wind River", it is now streaming on the platform. Andrew gives that one a watch, and a recommendation on this weeks episode. Andrew and Jess also revisit Craig Brewer's "Hustle & Flow", enjoying it as much as the first time this time around. Life is full of second chances, and we give one to Sophie Coppola's underrated "Marie Antoinette". When we are wrong about something, we admit it. We had the pleasure of attending a screening of "Black Narc...
Dogville, Dancer in the Dark, Melancholia: The Lars Von Trier Episode
March 19, 2018 18:50 - 42 minutes - 38.6 MBJess and Andrew tackle a very divisive filmmaker: Lars Von Trier. Notorious as he may be, he gets some of the best collaborators imaginable. Nicole Kidman's performance in Dogville is all the more breathtaking for the lack of a physical set to work with; Kirsten Dunst found new levels of representation for depression in another performance that blew us away in Melancholia; and Bjork gives the best performance of all in the working class musical Dancer in the Dark. Love him or hate him, Lars ...
What Happened to Monday, Green Room, Network, and Ichi the Killer
March 15, 2018 17:31 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBJess and Andrew are MAD AS HELL, and aren't going to take this anymore! We take a trip back to 1976 for Paddy Chayefsky and Sydney Lumet's masterpiece "Network". We give a chance to Netflix originals "What Happened to Monday", and check out "Welcome to Me", "Short Term 12", and "Green Room". Andrew continues his journey through the "Black Mirror", and we both bleed through the eyes from our assignment, "Ichi the Killer". We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did researching it! Andr...
Strangers, Thoroughbreds, Death of Stalin
March 12, 2018 20:19 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBIt's another new release week for Jess and Andrew. This week, we prepare ourselves to be scared by The Strangers: Prey at Night, and we get a heavy dose of sociopathic nihilism in Thoroughbreds. Unfortunately, Andrew had to attend the best of the films alone; The Death of Stalin is the satire that we all need right now.

Red Sparrow, Call Me By Your Name, Room
March 08, 2018 18:40 - 58 minutes - 53.3 MBJess and Andrew take a trip to see Fifty Shades of Sparro....I mean "Red Sparrow". We then take a wonderful trip to Italy in "Call Me By Your Name", a revisiting of a favorite from this year. Andrew takes in an episode of Black Mirror, and Netflix's The Ritual. We pay off the wheel with a viewing of 2015's "Room", which we had mistakenly overlooked before. Remember, 5 Star Reviews are always appreciated!

Black Panther, Hostiles, Annihilation, Game Night, Lincoln, and The Witch
February 28, 2018 20:09 - 1 hour - 67.2 MBJess and Andrew attended a marathon of new releases this past weekend. From the great to the mediocre, Black Panther, Hostiles, Annihilation, and Game Night was a fun journey that led to some great conversations. We also gave each other nightmares with The Witch. Andrew enjoyed an episode of Black Mirror, and was captivated by Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" which may have been unfairly thought of as a dusty old boring film before. Mistakes happen sometimes.

The Evolution of Greta Gerwig: Greenberg, Frances Ha, Mistress America, Lady Bird
February 26, 2018 07:50 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MBIn honor of Oscar Nominee Greta Gerwig, Jess and Andrew devote an episode to discussing her evolution as an artist, starting with her collaborations with Noah Baumbach, and culminating in this past year's Lady Bird.

Good Time, Zombies, and an Antichrist
February 19, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBOn this episode, Jess joins me to discuss "Good Time", and best foreign language nominee "On Body and Soul". For the classic film this week, I really sink my teeth into "Night of the Living Dead". Later in the show, Jess returns for an insightful voyage into Lars Von Trier's "Antichrist". It may be one of the most disturbing movies I've ever endured, but it sparked a great conversation that I hope you all enjoy. Remember, subscribing and rating the show 5 stars helps more than you realize; t...
Episode 0-- Jess and Andrew's Phantom Menace
February 17, 2018 16:00 - 19 minutes - 17.4 MBAbout a month and a half into the podcast, Jess and Andrew take the time to introduce themselves to the audience. We don't talk movies in this episode, we talk about who we are, and why this thing exists in the first place. Hope you enjoy, and think it's better than that flaming pile of movie known as The Phantom Menace.

Jess and Andrew Talk Kurosawa!
February 15, 2018 17:58 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBOver the last month, Jess and I explored a couple Akira Kurosawa Samurai epics, the genre that he is known best for, but not the only type of movies he did. In today's episode, we explore 4 of his post-war, modern Japanese films. Drunken Angel (1948), Stray Dog (1949), Ikiru (1952), and High and Low (1963) kept us completely captivated. Each of these films is streaming on Filmstruck.com, and we think everyone should do themselves a favor, and check some of them out.....or at least check this...

February 12, 2018 11:00 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBThe theme of Valentine's day permeates this episode, but in a twisted, Andrew Watches Movies type of way. Jess joins me to discuss Tragedy Girls, and Amelie for some streaming suggestions. We also digested all 4 hours of Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac, and had a surprisingly deep and rousing conversation on the very disturbing film. There is also an in depth discussion of a trio of Howard Hawks Screwball Comedies. Listen, subscribe, tell your friends, and don't forget to leave a positive revi...

Andrew Watches Movies-- A Futile and Stupid Gesture, The Hidden Fortress, The Hunt
