SPECIAL: Oscar Predictions 2024 with Thomas Mariani, Emily Slade, and Mel Gore
March 04, 2024 08:31 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBWe're back with our Oscar tradition this year! As we have in the past, we're bringing together a panel of movie experts to discuss this year's Oscar nominees and make their predictions. Join Rafe along with Thomas Mariani, Emily Slade, and Mel Gore as they discuss and debate the big awards showdown between Oppenheimer, Barbie, and a really strong list of nominees, ultimately making their predictions about who will be taking home an Oscar at this coming weekend's festivities. Follow Rafe on ...
Beyond the Screens: Oscar Movies 2023
February 09, 2023 08:30 - 15 minutes - 10.3 MBRafe jumps beyond the screens to talk about last week's lack of episode and a temporary new format for the podcast's release schedule. Then he gives his thoughts on this year's batch of Oscar nominations, as well as spoiler-free mini reviews of Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, and Tár. Let us know what you think of this year's Oscar-nominated films or your responses to his takes on these movies by contacting us through the links below! Check out Rafe's other pod...
88. Short Term 12 (2012) with Thomas Mariani
January 26, 2023 08:30 - 1 hour - 45.4 MBRafe is joined by last-minute fill-in Thomas Mariani, who has previously discussed films ranging from Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story to Green Room to The Muppets Take Manhattan. This selection is unlike any of those others! Short Term 12 is a solid, rather harrowing drama - a far cry from the genre selections Thomas has brought before. It also may very well be Rafe's favorite movie that he's discovered through his own podcast, and a film that Rafe found a very deep emotional connection to. L...
87. The Proposition (2005) with Adam Thomas
January 19, 2023 08:30 - 1 hour - 44.8 MBAdam Thomas returns to the show. What does the returning guest, who previously picked heady sci-fi like Dark City and The Jacket bring to the table this time? Why, a western, of course. Rafe and Adam talk about Adam's hot takes on popular movies, how The Proposition doesn't match up to its own advertising campaign, movies Adam won't watch again, and more. We guarantee this episode offers some civility in an otherwise uncivilized world. Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. Follow the show...
Beyond the Screens: Disturbing Movies
January 16, 2023 08:30 - 8 minutes - 5.66 MBGetting back into our regular routine means the return of the Friday Inquiry, where we ask a question related to the movie of the week on our social media. This week the question was inspired by Rafe's desire not to watch Se7en again after he originally saw it - we asked: what's a movie you won't watch, not because it's bad, but because it's simply disturbing? We got a slew of answers to talk about, as well as setting up the main episode for this week. Check out Rafe's other podcast, Never...
86. Se7en (1995) with Joe McDonnell
January 12, 2023 08:30 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBThis week's movie is the first film picked for the podcast that Rafe swore he would never watch again. But the rules of the podcast are very simple: the guest picks the movie and Rafe has to watch it. Join Rafe with returning guest Joe McDonnell, who picked the dark, gritty, David Fincher-directed Se7en as his next film for discussion. Why didn't Rafe want to watch it? What does this have to do with Joe's previous picks (Batman Returns and Necessary Roughness)? Have a listen and find out! F...
Beyond the Screens: The Return
January 09, 2023 08:30 - 4 minutes - 3.11 MBYes, it's been quite a while since we've done one of these, but we're back. Or at least we're attempting to be. In this Beyond the Screens, Rafe talks about his hope for the return of the show, trying to find balance, and previews this week's new episode: Se7en, a pick that was problematic for reasons he'll get into in the main episode. Check out Rafe's other podcast, Never Say Die!, where he teams up with Drew Meyer to look at movies and how we can draw inspiration from them for role-playi...
SPECIAL: Oscar Predictions 2022 with Thomas Mariani, Emily Slade, and Mel Gore
March 23, 2022 07:30 - 1 hour - 77.6 MBWe're continuing a tradition we started last year on Have Not Seen This, and bringing together a panel of movie experts to discuss this year's Oscar nominees and make their predictions. Join Rafe along with Thomas Mariani, Emily Slade, and Mel Gore as they discuss and debate Steven Spielberg's West Side Story remake, Don't Look Up, fawn over movies that aren't even nominated in categories, and and make their predictions about who will be taking home an Oscar at this coming weekend's festivit...
85. Smokey and the Bandit (1977) with Joe Gallant
January 13, 2022 08:30 - 1 hour - 53 MBThis week's movie selection was a bit of a concern for Rafe, who has voiced his issues with comedies in the past. Thankfully, guest Joe Gallant quickly turned him around on this silly, plot-light - and yet perfectly enjoyable - '70s comedy, Smokey and the Bandit. Rafe and Joe talk about the movie, Burt Reynolds as a '70s icon, the decade's infatuation with CB Radios, and more! Let's haul ass! Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. Joe Gallant hosts the Gallantski and Friends podcast Follo...
84. The Last Unicorn (1982) with Sara Sorrentino
January 06, 2022 08:30 - 1 hour - 44.7 MBHappy New Year! We're back to kick off the new year with a full episode, discussing The Last Unicorn with Sara Sorrentino. Like many others, we were both traumatized by this movie as a child, but revisiting it as an adult yields a lot of interesting discussion points, such as the film's views on men (not humanity, but men), immortality, and more! Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. Sara Sorrentino is on Twitter, is part of the Seequels podcast and Editor-in-Chief for Filmcred. Follow ...
83. The Fly (1986) with Drew Meyer
October 28, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 54 MBWe're closing out our "spooky season" with David Cronenberg's 1986 remake The Fly, courtesy of Drew Meyer who has been on previously to discuss The Thing and The Blob. While it isn't exactly an autumnal horror movie that brings thoughts of Halloween to mind, it's a really interesting character study that Drew loves and Rafe had not seen before. Join them as they discuss the '80s era of film, The Fly, and Rafe's aversion to Geena Davis. Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. Drew Meyer is o...
Beyond the Screens: Remakes and Dune
October 25, 2021 07:30 - 13 minutes - 8.96 MBLast week we talked the Night of the Living Dead remake and we have another remake coming this week, so it seemed the perfect time to talk about remakes online. Rafe polls Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit to see what people's favorite and least favorite remakes are. Speaking of remakes, Dune came out this week and Rafe offers up his spoiler-free review of the movie. Check out Rafe's new podcast, Never Say Die!, where he teams up with Drew Meyer to look at movies and how we can draw inspiratio...
82. Night of the Living Dead (1990) with Adam Thomas
October 21, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 46.8 MBAdam Thomas returns to the show with his pick for this year's "spooky season" and it's a movie that really surprised Rafe: the remake of the horror classic Night of the Living Dead. Rafe and Adam talk about remakes in general, Patricia Tallman and Tony Todd's interesting roles within the remake, the accusations of why George Romero was involved in this remake in the first place, and (oddly) Rafe's age (note: I'm not as old as Adam makes me out to be). Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. ...
Beyond the Screens: Menacing Movie Performances
October 18, 2021 07:30 - 5 minutes - 4.08 MBLast week's look at Green Room led us to asking over the weekend about other menacing movie performances. We talk about the ones our community recommended in this backstage episode. Rafe also talks a little about Netflix's Squid Game and then sets up this week's movie discussion about a horror remake. Check out Rafe's new podcast, Never Say Die!, where he teams up with Drew Meyer to look at movies and how we can draw inspiration from them for role-playing game adventures. Follow Rafe on Tw...
81. Green Room (2015) with Thomas Mariani
October 14, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBWe're kicking off our "spooky season" a little late, but still starting with quite a bang. Thomas Mariani returns to the show for a fourth time to talk about Green Room, a movie that has the tragic status of being actor Anton Yelchin's final, and yet most promising, film. Put him up against Patrick Stewart as the head of a neo-nazi organization and even standing on opposite sides of a closed door the tension is palatable. Since it isn't a traditional "horror movie," Rafe and Thomas end up ta...
Beyond the Screens: Podcasts! Podcasts! Podcasts!
October 11, 2021 07:30 - 8 minutes - 5.8 MBHappy October everyone! The spooky season is upon us and it's time to talk about some spooky movies.

September 23, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBPrice Ashe returns to the podcast with another comedy in tow, this time one you probably Have Not Seen: 2015's Don Verdean from Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite). Rafe and Price discuss Hess's varied career, hypothesize over Rafe's aversion to comedy films, and go on plenty of tangents, including a tribute to the recently-passed Norm MacDonald.

79. Summer of 84 (2018) with Soup from Nazaria
September 16, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 45.7 MBRafe has mentioned on several different episodes over the past few months about joining in on several audio drama projects. This week sees the man in charge of one of those projects, an entity known as "Soup," joining the podcast to discuss his selection: Summer of 84. These two men, one who was alive in 1984 and the other who wasn't, talk about Kids on Bikes movies, the relationship between this movie and The Burbs, Dungeons and Dragons, and more!

78. Ravenous (1999) with James Rodrigues
September 09, 2021 07:30 - 1 hour - 44.4 MBJames Rodrigues returns with yet another movie Rafe was unaware of before it being picked for the podcast: 1999's Ravenous which stars a heck of a cast including Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, and Jeffrey Jones. We discuss visiting movies with problematic people involved (Jones), the influence of movie soundtracks, Guy Pearce channeling his best Ethan Hawke, and the fine line between cannibalism and vampirism as part of our conversation surrounding this oddball comedy/horror/western picture you...
77. Necessary Roughness (1996) with Joe McDonnell
September 02, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 48.8 MBWe're talking football this week with Joe McDonnell, who previously appeared to talk about Batman Returns. This time Joe picked the 1996 football comedy Necessary Roughness.

76. The Way, Way Back with Mike Burton
August 05, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBFor a while, it seemed that Fox Searchlight could do no wrong, and The Way, Way Back is part of that winning streak.

75. The King of Comedy (1982) with Thomas Mariani
July 22, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBThomas Mariani returns to the podcast. Previously we've talked about Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and The Muppets Take Manhattan. This time Rafe and Thomas talk about an underappreciated Martin Scorsese film, The King of Comedy, which was driven back into the spotlight a few years ago because of the film Joker. Just how much of an influence did Scorsese have on Todd Phillips's movie? Has Rafe come around on Robert De Niro yet? And how relevant is a satirical black comedy from the '80s toda...
Beyond the Screens: Kids on Bikes Movies

Rafe is joined by a special guest to talk about those and announce one of the upcoming projects Rafe has been working on. We hope you'll be as excited about it as we are, and we'll see you on Thursday for our next regular movie discussion! Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd.

July 15, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 47.6 MBThis week Rafe is joined by guest Valerie Moss to talk about a classic adventure movie from their childhoods, The Goonies. We talk about why this movie was so relatable to us as kids (and why kids today might not relate as much to it), the power of its ensemble cast, whether we'd want to see a sequel, the recent passing of Richard Donner, and why even the bad guys are an amazing part of The Goonies story.

Beyond the Screens: Friday Inquiries and Black Widow
July 12, 2021 08:30 - 8 minutes - 5.94 MBWe missed a Beyond the Screens last week due to the Fourth of July, so we've got some catching up to do.

E...
Beyond the Screens: Documentaries About Movies
June 28, 2021 08:30 - 11 minutes - 8.2 MBWe talked last week about Galaxy Quest and the documentary Never Surrender and a year ago we talked about The Emperor's New Groove and the documentary about that, The Sweatbox.

We also talk about what Rafe's been watching lately, and how this week's regular discussion episode is a first for this podcast. We'll see you Thursday for our regular movie discussion episode!

June 24, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 44.4 MBListeners of Rafe's other podcast know Chris Tallant as co-host of their conversations about World of Warcraft. Listeners of this podcast may have heard Chris back in Episode 6 where they discussed The Kentucky Fried Movie. Chris was kind enough to fill in at the last minute this week, as Rafe and Chris discuss Galaxy Quest, which is arguably one of the best Star Trek movies ever made. The two discuss Chris's lack of experience with Star Trek, the Galaxy Quest that could have been, and how t...

70. G.I. Joe: the Movie (1987) with Mel Gore
June 17, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBYou may remember a few months ago when we covered The Transformers: the Movie. Shortly after that episode aired, friend of the show Mel Gore reached out about doing this week's movie: G.I. Joe: the Movie. Considering how Rafe admitted in the previous episode that G.I. Joe was more his thing, it was obvious we were going to be looking at this one. Join Rafe and Mel as they discuss the similarities between the two animated films, debate G.I. Joe in the contemporary cultural climate, and come u...
Beyond the Screens: Introductions and The Conjuring universe
June 14, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBWe're trying something new with a series of mini-episodes we're calling "Beyond the Screens." These should give us the opportunity to touch upon content that falls outside of the usual guest-picks-a-movie format. In our first Beyond the Screens, Rafe explains the purpose behind these episodes, explains the long gap in between episodes recently, and talks about his plans for the summer. He also gives a quick look at The Conjuring movies, particularly the latest chapter, The Conjuring: The Dev...

June 10, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 45.7 MBThis week's guest, Alex Whiteley, brings the 2011 movie Warrior to the podcast for a great conversation. Listen as Rafe and Alex discuss Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton playing two very different protagonists who are destined to face each other in a mixed martial arts tournament - a conflict made deeper by the fact that they are actually brothers! We discuss this combination sports movie and family drama, featuring a brilliant performance from one of Rafe's least favorite actors: Nick Nolte, alo...
SPECIAL: Oscar Predictions 2021 with Thomas Mariani, Emily Slade, and Mel Gore

April 08, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 48.5 MBOnce upon a time Rafe and this week's returning guest, Adam Thomas, were setting themselves up to be Internet nemeses. Instead, they get together a second time to talk movies. This time it's the 2005 Adrien Brody/Kiera Knightly film The Jacket, a movie Rafe encourages everyone to check out. They discuss time travel in movies, good and bad American accents in film, the Bootstrap paradox, buying in to a movie wholesale, and more! Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd.

67. The Karate Kid (1984) with Brian Doucette
April 01, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 49.6 MBIt's would have been hard to imagine in 1984 the lasting legacy The Karate Kid would have. With three sequels, a remake, and the more recent revisit to the characters thanks to Cobra Kai, Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi's influence is undeniable, but that influence goes beyond the continuing story. Rafe and guest Brian Doucette discuss the personal effect the film has had on them over time, Brian's path through martial arts, and about a dozen other entertaining tangents. Follow Rafe on Twitt...
66. The Devil's Rejects (2005) with Josh Evans

63. Amazing Grace and Chuck (1987) with Harvey Laguerre
February 11, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 47.5 MBSometimes guests pick a movie you love, sometimes they pick a movie you've never heard of, and sometimes they pick a movie you haven't thought of in several decades. This week's film is solidly in that last category. Join Rafe and guest Harvey as they talk about nuclear disarmament in this little-known '80s flick about a young baseball player and a professional basketball player taking on the global nuclear threat of the Cold War. Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. Harvey Laguerre is h...
62. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) with Mal Foster
January 27, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 49.8 MBEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of those movies that Rafe goes absolutely ga-ga over when a guest brings it up. The movie is brought to the show this week by Mal Foster and the two discuss whether the relationship in the movie is healthy or toxic, where they were with their own relationship statuses when they first saw the movie, and the vast supporting cast of a movie best known for its two stars. Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. Mal Foster can be found on Dimed Out and...
61. Being There (1979) with Ron Telsch
January 20, 2021 08:30 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBRafe's dad returns to the podcast with a political satire just in time for inauguration day. If you only know Peter Sellers from the Pink Panther movies and Doctor Strangelove, you owe it to yourself to check out Being There, the story of a simple man who is confused for someone far more complex. Rafe and his dad, Ron Telsch, talk about how the political satire of the late '70s still holds a mirror up to today's political system, Sellers and MacClaine's astounding performances, and how "Life...

December 24, 2020 08:30 - 1 hour - 52.6 MBFormer guest Thomas Mariani returns to the show and we're talking Muppets.

Have a great week and a Merry Christmas to you all! Follow Rafe on Twitter and Letterboxd. Thomas Mariani is half of the Double Edged Double Bill podcast. Check out Rafe's recent ...
58. The Iron Giant (1999) with Perry Wilson
December 17, 2020 08:30 - 1 hour - 48.5 MBYou probably recognize the iconic appearance of the Iron Giant, but how many of you have actually seen the film? That makes it the perfect film for this show as Rafe is joined by guest Perry Wilson to discuss his pick, The Iron Giant. We talk about why the movie may not have gotten the attention it deserved when it was first released, previous films that may have had an influence on writer/director Brad Bird, and the influence this film may have had on more contemporary movies - it's an Iron...
