Episodes
Better than John Prine?
March 28, 2024 01:52 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MBWe follow up on a popular episode with what will be a less popular one!
Rebel Boooo-n
January 10, 2024 00:33 - 35 minutes - 33.3 MBAdam watched Rebel Moon and told me about it. He did not like it. I drank a Whiskey Daisy! He drank water. After we finished recording he said "you were getting real vulgar today!" Then we recorded a different ending. See if you can find where we split it!
Who has the best villains?
December 06, 2023 02:09 - 29 minutes - 41.4 MBInane conversation about a meaningless subject for about twenty minutes. Had a pretty good time recording it.
The Marvels: Doesn't suck
November 11, 2023 22:28 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBI saw someone say The Marvels was the worst superhero movie ever, and that's ridiculous. I'll now list some worse superhero movies: Joker. Aquaman. Thor: The Dark World. Thor: Love and Thunder. Thor: The first Thor.
There are too many mother ducking snakes on this mother ducking train!
December 05, 2022 02:32 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBWe're back, bb! Adam and Amelia put aside their differences to reunite for their fans. We review the movie Bullet Train, available on Netflix. Spoiler: we had a terrific time!
A Christmas Miracle on 34th Street
December 22, 2021 02:21 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBI'm gonna level with you. I don't know if 34th Street is in this movie. Is it where the apartment is? Is it a major street in New York? I know New York is a grid system. It's very hard to get lost there. This is a good movie. The dude playing Santa kills it.
CMACC: Desk Set: Christmas movie?
November 09, 2021 01:00 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBIn this Classic Movie and Classic Cocktail installment, we review the 1957 film Desk set. Spoiler: We love it!
Sleepless in Seattle: In which Amelia expresses her love for Meg Ryan (and her neck)
November 02, 2021 00:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBWe review the lesser of Meg Ryan's romcoms that heavily feature a soundtrack and references to classic movies, but Amelia still would.
James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies Another Day
October 24, 2021 20:11 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBSPOILERS FOR JAMES BOND: NO TIME TO DIE We watched the new James Bond and ponder the future of the Bond franchise.
What are we, some kind of The Suicide Squad?
August 08, 2021 23:42 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MBAdam and Amelia review THE Suicide Squad, the second pandemic movie we have seen. This is not an R rated podcast, though Amelia does very briefly discuss boobs. Buttholes also come up.
Dear Graham Presents: Blunt Talk about The Rock in Jungle Cruise
August 01, 2021 20:39 - 27 minutes - 25.7 MBWe sat down to talk about the movie Jungle Cruise, which is both bad and good. Listen to find out why. Also I watched Fear Street on Netflix. What a weird series of movies. We don't talk about that in this episode, it's just on my mind.
Which Graham Do You Feed? - Why You Shouldn't Watch New Mutants
April 20, 2021 00:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBAdam reviews the terrible film New Mutants, which was many years in the making. Adam also tells his most recent best nap!
Mighty Ducks Game Changers: Hola Amigo!
April 12, 2021 01:37 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBIn this episode, we discuss Adam's new editing skills and the Disney+ Series Mighty Ducks Game Changers. This episode also features our newest segment, best naps. We are in need of more naps. Otherwise we'll make up some. Please send us best naps. Thank you Jorie for your nap, although you go uncredited in the podcast. It sounds like a good nap.
Hi, We're the Replacements
March 28, 2021 23:19 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBWe reviewed the strangely anti union movie The Replacements, starring Keanu Reeves, Jon Favreau, and some other people. What a nonsensical blast! Also tune in for the debut of our new segment, Best Naps.
Keeping the Faith
March 11, 2021 19:08 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBBy sheer chance, we watch our second religious themed movie in a row, so I guess we're celebrating Lent (if in fact you're supposed to celebrate a person being trapped in the desert for 40 days and nights, if that happened to me and people celebrated it, I'd reevaluate how I've been treating people). There aren't nearly as many good Lent movies for us to watch completely by accident as Christmas movies. What's the Lenten version of Die Hard, for instance? Boondock Saints? No Alan Rickman, no...
Dogma
March 02, 2021 01:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBWe review Dogma, a movie that we love against our better instincts. We watched it again immediately after recording. Amelia says the F word repeatedly, just like in the movie.
Starring America's Sweethearts, A+A
February 23, 2021 01:00 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MBWe review the 2001 movie America's Sweethearts starring John Cusak, Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Christopher Walken, Stanley Tucci, and more. Critics hated it, we (for the most part) liked it very much!
Build Me Up, Princess Buttercup ft. Chris
February 16, 2021 01:00 - 24 minutes - 23 MBAdam, Amelia, and special guest Christopher review the classic of cinema The Princess Bride. Join as we discuss the plot, likes and dislikes, and recast the movie (starring ourselves!).
Dear Chef
February 15, 2021 00:14 - 29 minutes - 27.6 MBRecorded on time but released a week late, tune in to hear Adam and Amelia discuss the Jon Favreau film Chef, and also last week's Wanda Vision. I think. As I said, we recorded this a week ago.
Groundhog Day, or Better Late than Never
February 05, 2021 02:23 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBPlease enjoy this final installment of our Groundhog Day series, recorded the day before groundhog day and released two days after. Please also feel free to listen to it on repeat.
Edge of Tomorrow, or, It's Like Groundhog Day All Over Again!
January 26, 2021 01:46 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBAdam and Amelia review the Tom Cruise/ Emily Blunt action movie Edge of Tomorrow, aka Live Die Repeat. Then they also chat about Wanda Vision and annoy each other.
WandaVision 1+2, Groundhog Day films
January 19, 2021 02:33 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBWe talk WandaVision episodes 1 and 2, and several Groundhog day films. But not the best groundog day films. Saving those for later.
Upcoming Movies, some cocktails
January 08, 2021 03:02 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBWe bring on two very special listeners to discuss upcoming films and also whether or not Dune is fascist propaganda, but that's pretty much all I remember and we don't have an answer for the second one.
CMaCC: A Holiday Affair + Negroni
January 01, 2021 13:52 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBRecorded on Dec. 28 so as to be released before NYE, but released after NYE because we forgot, join us for a sort of short discussion of A Holiday Affair (which we both very much enjoyed), plus Wonder Woman and Soul (one of which we enjoyed).
CMACC: The Thin Man
December 22, 2020 04:19 - 29 minutes - 27.6 MBJust an absolute blast of a film. And it's a Christmas movie.
Christmas Chronicles 2: When even Kurt Russell can't save a movie
December 15, 2020 02:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MBWe continue to talk about Christmas movies this week, with a terrible Netflix film. In this episode I was asked to name good Kurt Russell movies and I blanked, so I'm putting a list here: Tango and Cash Big Trouble in Little China Sky High The Thing The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes (I've never seen this, but it's a guaranteed winner, title like that)
Happiest Season: I don't care what Amelia says, I liked it
December 10, 2020 02:41 - 27 minutes - 25.8 MBHappiest Season is the first of our Holiday films we watched. Amelia was lukewarm. I was warm. We're putting this episode out on a Wednesday because everything is chaos and days of the week are a social construct.
Logan Lucky
November 30, 2020 00:54 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MBLogan Lucky is a good movie. Watch Logan Lucky. Especially with Hillbilly Elegy coming out recently, if you're going to watch one movie about Appalachia, make it this movie. This episode is brought to you by Daniel Craig in James Bond: No Time to Die.* If you see Daniel Craig and it looks like his eyes are screaming for help, what he's really saying is "please go see No Time to Die." *We received no money from No Time to Die, we're just excited Daniel Craig fans. If they want to pay us, tho...
CMaCC: The Philadelphia Story + Pink Gin/Hurricane
November 10, 2020 01:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBHello! We reviewed the 1940 classic film The Philadelphia Story and also reviewed our drinks, a Pink Gin and a Hurricane! One of us liked our drink, the other did not, but we agreed on the movie. Shake up a cocktail and join us!
Trial of the Chicago Seven
November 02, 2020 23:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MBWe are scheduling this episode in advance to come out the day before the 2020 US election, which is frightening. We loved this movie about protests and organizing but depending on the state of the nation we encourage all beloveds to listen to what their bodies need and do fluffy unimportant stuff if necessary (except unless you have not already VOTED in which case GO VOTE FRIENDS VOTE AGAINST TRUMP PLEASE and if you are considering voting for Trump please STAY HOME INSTEAD AND WATCH THIS MOV...
Morticia and Igor Present: The Haunting
October 27, 2020 00:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBIn this week's installment of Classic Movies and Classic Cocktails we watched The Haunting, after trying unsuccessfully to watch it some 6 years ago and getting too spooked.
Dear Frankenstein
October 19, 2020 23:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBWe talk about Young Frankenstein, and ask what is acceptable in a comedy movie. Are we the people who should be deciding this? Yes. Or No. You decide. Are you the people who should be deciding that? Yes. Or no. We decide.
There are Halloween things in this podcast
October 18, 2020 19:52 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBWe attempted to cover a bunch of different Halloween things, to various degrees of success. We talk about those things in this podcast. We'll keep what those subjects are a mystery, not because we don't remember what they are, we definitely do, but because we just don't feel like saying them here. This is a link we promised for one of those things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vwiRE0Drjk&list=PLpKhoKHxzdGJh_tkcsrMdZ4Mz5zFpgl7E
The Mummy (the bad one) and Enola Holmes
October 08, 2020 23:53 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MBAre we putting podcasts out on Thursdays now? Or did we just forget to put this out 4 days ago. Who knows? Nothing makes you appreciate Brendan Frasier like the 1932 version of The Mummy. It's no good. And not even in like a "well for the time it was impressive" way, it's just a struggle to watch. And yet Universal's tried to make universe of these monster films like 3 times since 2009. Enola Holmes is good, watch that instead. Just a fun, easy to watch film. Oh, and Machine Gun Kelly ...
Barefoot in the Park
September 16, 2020 22:27 - 18 minutes - 17.5 MBLet's take a second and talk about how ridiculously well Robert Redford and Jane Fonda have aged. You've got two people who are ridiculously good looking at a young age, sure they're probably statistically more likely to be ridiculously good looking throughout their lives, but you're rolling the dice here. Val Kilmer, there's a guy who was ridiculously good looking as a young guy. Top Gun, whatever Batman he was in (I know it was Batman Forever, get off my back Jim Carrey), he was doing pret...
Classic Cocktails and Classic Movies with Meghan and Bill
August 25, 2020 23:49 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBHooray for guests! Meghan and Bill joined us (social distance style) to chat about Arsenic and Old Lace while sipping some bubbly.
Let's Pitch you Lower Decks, Marvel, and Diet Coke
August 18, 2020 02:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBOn this week's episode of Dear Graham, we talk about all of the things mentioned in the title!
An American Pickle: Filmed where we buy beer!
August 12, 2020 00:33 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MBWe watched "An American Pickle" so you don't have to. But if you want to, you'll see lots of shots of Pittsburgh, including the spot we buy beer. But not too much beer, Mom and Dad. An acceptable amount. How much is an acceptable amount? Well, if you square the hypotenuse on the equilateral triangle, you'll arrive at your answer of 1 7/8ths. *I have no idea what I'm even saying in these write ups anymore. Buy my product.
Who Watches the Watchmen(2009)? Not You, If You're Smart
August 04, 2020 00:31 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBAdam and Amelia review the 2009 movie adaptation of the acclaimed 1980s graphic novel Watchmen. It was not their favorite.
Little Big League
July 28, 2020 01:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBUmmm... it's an all time classic children's movie. We talk about it. Look, frankly I'm running out of things to say in these descriptions. But I'll leave you with this word problem: I can paint a house in 5 hours, you can paint it in 3, how long does it take us to paint it together?
Animated Harley Quinn on the DC Universe
July 21, 2020 11:44 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBOne of us accidentally subscribed to the DC Comics streaming service. Did you know DC Comics had a streaming service? Based on their revenue you haven't, but there's actually some decent stuff on there. Not enough for $7.99 a month, but some decent stuff. Anyway, this episode is about the animated Harley Quinn show. It's good. You should watch it. But not for $7.99 a month, that would be an insane price point for a streaming service like this. Update: this show is moving to HBO Max on Augu...
My Cousin Vinny
July 14, 2020 02:00 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBWe talk about the '90s film My Cousin Vinny, which tells the story of a mid level lawyer struggling with his own limitations in the harsh face of stardom. OR it's a story about a low level lawyer who's struggling with his own limitations in the harsh face of court. It's really a tossup.
Dear Graham Presents: The Lovebirbs
July 02, 2020 01:27 - 27 minutes - 25.7 MBAdam and Amelia voyage interstate for this live review for Graham! Many thanks to Rachel for suggesting the movie and cohosting.
Dear Graham: Up in Smoke
June 23, 2020 00:50 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MBIn our first ever $50 tier sponsorship, we reviewed Cheech and Chong: Up in Smoke as requested. You will note that our sponsor did not pay enough to be in the next tier up, or we would have said that we liked it. Join us for this (classic?) stoner romp.
Classic Movies and Classic Cocktails: Adam's Rib and Amelia's Daiquiri
June 16, 2020 02:00 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBThis is the first in a possible series of films we'll talk about and drink about. Have any recommendations? Send them to us. Our email is in the show. (It is NOT in the show.)
Dear Graham Presents: Clueless, or Jorie's Uncomfortable with Paul Rudd
June 09, 2020 02:00 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBJorie thinks Paul Rudd shouldn't be able to find happiness. It's a controversial opinion, and one we here at Dear Graham do NOT endorse. We're pro Paul Rudd finding happiness.
Bend it Like Beckham
June 02, 2020 02:19 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBThis podcast is about Bend it Like Beckham, but given the timing, we felt it was important to say the following: We recorded this podcast 2-3 weeks ago, before the deaths of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, and before Christian Cooper was accosted in Central Park. We don’t talk about any of this in this episode because of the when it was recorded but after recent events we at Dear Graham feel the need to make it clear that we believe Black lives matter, trans lives matter, and institutionali...
Dear Graham Presents: Bend It Like Beckham
June 02, 2020 02:00 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBThis podcast was recorded before last week's podcast, but released after! Such is the marvel of modern technology. We don't remember what we talked about but do remember that we had fun!
Dear Graham Presents: Memorial Day Special
May 26, 2020 02:00 - 29 minutes - 27 MBAdam presents a list of movies about war and Amelia was pleasantly surprised by how much she was interested! We tried to go with movies that were as non jingoistic as we could and that glorified warfare or the military as little as possible. This episode is scheduled to come out on Memorial Day, a somber holiday, so we didn't make jokes like we often do. Amelia said "trajection" in the last minute of the episode but that is not a word, and she meant trajectory. We had not looked up how to ...
Dear Graham: Legion
May 19, 2020 02:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBWe randomly remembered how much we like Legion and wanted to talk about it.
