Episode 84: Turner & Hooch
April 13, 2020 07:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBIt's time to talk Tom Hanks! This is the first installment a 10-episode (maybe more) deep dive into the filmography of America's Dad, starting with the 1989 cop/dog team-up Turner & Hooch. If you want to see Hanks shirtless and yelling at a real jerk of a canine, this one is for you. We also compare Tom to Harrison Ford and discuss what has made the man so damn affable for more than 30 years. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 83: Dune (1984)
April 07, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 71.6 MBPending an interruption from COVID-19, Denis Villeneuve's Dune remake will hit theaters in late 2020. But before you absorb the redo, you have to debate the original; that's why we invited back friend of the show Chris (a medical doctor on the front lines) who took time from his busy schedule to discuss the differences between Frank Herbert's book and David Lynch's 1984 feature film in great detail. If you live in the Los Angeles area and can donate personal protective equipment, please em...

The Hateful Eight
April 02, 2020 07:00 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBWe've reached the end of Quentin Tarantino's filmography, which for us means 2015's The Hateful Eight. With Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Walton Goggins in the cast, you'd expect another masterpiece. Unfortunately, your expectations would be incorrect. Join as we determine where Tarantino went wrong here, along with our rankings of the top QT movies, from No. 10 (or 9, depending on your Kill Bill preference) to No. 1. Hosted on Acast.

March 17, 2020 07:00 - 40 minutes - 36.6 MBWe're back with more Tarantino! Saddle up your horse for this near-final ride through QT's filmography, one that features Christoph Waltz's second Oscar working with Quentin, plus a shockingly evil performance from Leonardo DiCaprio and one of Jamie Foxx's breakout lead roles. We're talking, of course, about Django Unchained, Tarantino's 2012 revisionist Western and a film we were more than happy to revisit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Armageddon
February 17, 2020 08:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBAfter 79 episodes, it's finally time to talk Armageddon. Michael Bay's 1998 masterpiece has been both acclaimed and reviled over the years; it's one of the rare big-budget films to get a Criterion Collection release, and one of the true gems in Bay's otherwise-shaky filmography. Does this ridiculous, America-loving movie hold up? Do we still love Bruce Willis as world-saver Harry Stamper? And is Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" the greatest movie theme of all time?

And Justice for Al: The Irishman
January 20, 2020 08:00 - 44 minutes - 40.3 MBIt's finally time to discuss The Irishman, and for once in a good long while there's "solidarity!" on And Justice for Al. Beyond all the Oscar-nominated Pacino chatter, we break down what might be Martin Scorsese's last mobster movie, De Niro's creepy piercing green eyes, and maybe the best performance of Joe Pesci's career. It's what it is: it's the preeminent Al Pacino podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show
December 20, 2019 08:00 - 49 minutes - 45 MBSo it's come to this: the In Reel Deep Podcast is reviewing a holiday variety show. Kacey Musgraves has a beautiful voice and seems like a lovely person, but we're not sure she should be the host of a Christmas spectacular.

Klaus
December 18, 2019 08:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBIf you weren't expecting much from Netflix's first original animated feature, prepare to be surprised: Klaus might just be a Christmas classic. We break down why this Santa Claus origin story from Despicable Me creator Sergio Pablos is so special, why we wish all Christmas movies could highlight holiday themes without getting cheap or lazy, and what this very fine film means for the future of Netflix.

Noelle
December 06, 2019 08:00 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MBDisney's new streaming service has taken the entertainment world by storm; will its first Christmas movie do the same? Though it stars the beloved Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader, Noelle feels more like one of Netflix's algorithm-fueled offerings than a Santa-centric Walt Disney classic. We kick off Christmas Month by dissecting this long-gestating mess of a motion picture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Inglourious Basterds
November 05, 2019 08:00 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MBWe've made it to what Quentin Tarantino believes to be his masterpiece, at least if you trust Brad Pitt's final line. Inglourious Basterds is a decade old and just as good as you remember; it's the film that brought Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender, Daniel Brühl and Mélanie Laurent into our lives, and it's undoubtedly one of QT's best. But is it as good as Pulp Fiction? Does it deserve the top spot in Tarantino's filmography? Join us as we break down this modern masterpiece. Hosted on Ac...

Death Proof
October 17, 2019 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MBBy every account, including his own, Death Proof is minor Quentin Tarantino. But that also makes it a little fascinating; when you're going through the QT filmography, how do you judge this random, Kurt Russell-led murderous endeavor? Is it a real movie, or just a fun romp with his buddy Robert Rodriguez that doesn't actually count? Join us as we break down Quentin's take on a stuntman slasher film. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 71: Once Upon a Time In Hollywood
September 24, 2019 07:00 - 52 minutes - 48.4 MBWe've leapt forward in our journey through Quentin Tarantino's filmography to tackle his latest: the captivating Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie lead a tremendous cast that includes the famed Alfredo Pacino; as such, we've brought And Justice for Al co-star Tom onto the big show to discuss Pacino's work as Marvin Schwarzs along with all things Tarantino.

Episode 70: Kill Bill
August 19, 2019 07:00 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBWe've reached a major moment in Quentin Tarantino's filmography: Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. There hadn't been a QT film in 6 years when Vol. 1 came out in 2003, and we'd never think of a Tarantino movie the same way again. Does The Bride's revenge quest against David Carradine and the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad hold up in 2019? Or was it a classic example of style over substance, with his love of kung-fu insanity taking precedence over character development and narrative cohesion? Joi...
Bonus Episode: Hobbs & Shaw
August 07, 2019 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MBOur resident Fast & Furious expert Holc has returned to break down this new adrenaline-fueled blockbuster, only with a slight twist; we're bringing it to you via a special bonus episode from Steve's other podcast, Awesome Truth! It's a pro wrestling book club that also dibs into documentaries and feature films, so get ready for lots of talk about Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, John Cena joining the cast of Fast & Furious 9, and the overhyped debut of glorified extra Roman Reigns. Hosted on Acas...
Episode 69: Jackie Brown
July 30, 2019 07:00 - 37 minutes - 33.9 MBWe continue our journey through the Quentin Tarantino filmography with Jackie Brown, the 1997 crime thriller that is unlike anything QT has made before or since. It revitalized the careers of Pam Grier and Robert Forster, gave Robert De Niro one of his last truly great roles, and showed that Tarantino can write for women after all. It doesn't have the iconic aura of a Pulp Fiction or an Inglourious Basterds, but it's just as good. Join us and find out why. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pri...
Episode 68: Pulp Fiction
July 12, 2019 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MBA Royale with cheese. Ezekiel 25:17. They speak English in What? I love you, Honey Bunny. Zed's dead, baby. We could go on for hours: Pulp Fiction may be the most quotable movie of all time, and it's next up as we journey through Quentin Tarantino's filmography. A quarter-century after its release, is it as good as we remember? Of course; it's Pulp Fiction. Join us as we debate who was better, Samuel L. Jackson or Uma Thurman, along with lots of other gushing ramblings about Tarantino's fines...
Bonus Episode: A 3-Year-Old Reviews Toy Story
June 28, 2019 07:00 - 10 minutes - 9.16 MBYou've heard our take on Toy Story 4 and the entire Pixar franchise; now find out what a 3-year-old girl loves (and doesn't love) about what might be the finest cinematic franchise of all time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 67: The Toy Story Franchise
June 27, 2019 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.8 MBNow that Toy Story 4 has received glowing reviews, it's time to acknowledge the increasingly obvious: the Toy Story franchise might be the best in cinematic history. Is there any other quadrilogy that has been this good for this long? To appropriately dissect this classic series, the In Reel Deep guys watched all four stories about toys and showed up (mostly) ready to discuss Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang. They've got a friend in us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more i...
Episode 66: Reservoir Dogs
June 20, 2019 07:00 - 37 minutes - 34.2 MBIn 1992, Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs announced the arrival of a brash new auteur, inspired a million copycats, and arguably changed American cinema. As part of our journey to Tarantino's Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, we're revisiting the director's entire filmography. We begin with Harvey Keitel, Chris Penn, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and an infamous ear scene that is still talked about today. Let's get a taco. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 65: Deadwood: The Movie
June 07, 2019 07:00 - 36 minutes - 37.3 MBIt took almost 13 years, but Deadwood: The Movie has arrived. To celebrate HBO somehow bringing back David Milch and maybe the greatest cast in television history, the In Reel Deep Podcast has convened to discuss Ian McShane, Gerald McRaney, Molly Parker, and everyone else who participated in this minor miracle. We also wonder if, in the age of streaming, they'll ever be a show like Deadwood again. Welcome back to f*ckin' Deadwood. It can be combative. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...
Episode 64: Avengers: Endgame
May 07, 2019 07:00 - 43 minutes - 59.5 MBWe're back, and we're breaking down what will likely end up being the biggest movie of all time. In this spoiler-heavy analysis of Avengers: Endgame, longtime special guest Holc returns to discuss how the Russo brothers ended Marvel's 22-movie run and how the grand finale affects Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thanos, and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 63: 2019 Oscar Predictions
February 22, 2019 09:00 - 51 minutes - 70.3 MBWe hate the Academy Awards, but we also can't stop talking about them. In what's become an In Reel Deep tradition, we break down the six big categories for 2019, including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Picture. Along the way, we complain about how the Oscars have embarrassed themselves over and over again and continue to drift further into irrelevance. It's a good time! Join us as we dissect this blessed end to the cinematic awards season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/...

Episode 61: The Muppet Christmas Carol
December 24, 2018 08:00 - 44 minutes - 45.6 MBThere's no better way to end a December filled with movies than The Muppet Christmas Carol, perhaps the most adorable holiday film of all time. This Muppet masterpiece doesn't force its iconic characters onto the screen. Instead, it doles them out in story-centric doses and lets acting legend Michael Caine handle the heavy lifting; the result is a true gem for all ages. Come spend Christmas Eve with Gonzo, Rizzo, that cute little bunny, and the rest of the gang. Hosted on Acast. See acast.c...
Episode 60: Love Actually, Again
December 21, 2018 08:00 - 52 minutes - 54.2 MBIn December of 2017, we slaughtered Love Actually for being a terrible movie. We even insisted that it was not, in fact, a Christmas movie. Have we softened over the last year? To celebrate the Xmas holiday being just around the corner, your three yuletide buddies sat down and ranked every story in this beloved mishmosh. Who takes the top spot: Bill Nighy, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant? Listen and find out if love is, actually, all around us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy fo...
Episode 59: Elf
December 17, 2018 08:00 - 44 minutes - 46 MBThis 2003 holiday classic has it all: Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, and enough laugh-out-loud comedy goodness to lift it from "Christmas treat" to "genuinely good movie." But that doesn't mean it's perfect; what's with that ending, and those evil police horses? Despite the best wishes of Christmas lover Sam Johnson, we break down Jon Favreau's Elf and point out its (admittedly few) flaws. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 58: The Grinch Holiday Spectacular
December 10, 2018 08:00 - 56 minutes - 58.3 MBWe've pursued some ambitious projects here on the In Reel Deep Podcast, but none as time-consuming as watching 215 minutes of How the Grinch Stole Christmas adaptations. Yet that is what our holiday overlord Sam Johnson demanded, and that's what we did; we viewed the iconic 1966 television special, the 2000 live-action version with Jim Carrey, and the new 2018 animated remake with Benedict Cumberbatch, all for you dear listeners. How would we rank them? And how much do we hate Ron Howard for ...
Episode 57: The Christmas Chronicles
December 03, 2018 08:00 - 42 minutes - 44.1 MBCasting Kurt Russell as Santa Claus in The Christmas Chronicles was the coup of the holiday season for Netflix; it guaranteed everyone would be talking about his sexy DILF version of Saint Nick just as much as the movie. But is the final product worth adding to your holiday viewing rotation, or is it just a ho-hum Hallmark movie with the Captain Ron star in a lead role? Holiday Month continues all throughout December on the In Reel Deep Podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mo...
Episode 56: The War on Christmas
November 26, 2018 08:00 - 35 minutes - 36.1 MBSome would say that we're in the middle of a War on Christmas. Sam Johnson would agree, but only in the cinematic sense. He's the In Reel Deep Podcast's holiday expert, and he's back for another December to force Christmas classics onto your hosts, specifically ones where the bad guys are out to disrupt the season. Which five timeless "classics" (plus maybe a few more) will be making the cut? Join us and find out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 55: The Witch
October 29, 2018 07:00 - 32 minutes - 33.7 MBA truncated Horror Month concludes with The Witch, the 2015 gem from writer-director Robert Eggers that makes 1630s New England look as horrifying as it probably was. This sleeper hit was horror done perfectly, an excellent movie that terrifies without big lazy scares. Find out why these two semi-horror fans found it to be so very captivating. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 54: A Star is Born
October 15, 2018 07:00 - 55 minutes - 57.5 MBBradley Cooper as director? Lady Gaga as a lead actress? A Star is Born raised a lot of eyebrows before its release, and then lowered them almost immediately by being an emotional gem of a film. But what makes the 2018 remake really special is how, if you peel back the layers of this tumultuous love story, you'll uncover a very honest dissection of power dynamics, selfishness, and addiction. We welcome a very special guest, and fan of passion and friendship, onto the podcast to talk Jackson M...
Episode 53: Venom
October 11, 2018 07:00 - 37 minutes - 38.5 MBComic book fans have been waiting for Venom for years, hoping and praying that the Spider-Man frenemy would finally get a movie worthy of his backstory and popularity. But is this Ruben Fleischer-directed, Tom Hardy-starring feature what we all had in mind? We've invited Venom expert Holc back onto the show to talk symbiotes; he's our resident The Fast and the Furious/James Bond guru as well, and he has more than a few thoughts on the present and future of what looks to be a budding Sony/Marv...
