We really love doing this podcast. Just wanted you to know that. This week, two new movies. First, the Paul Rudd-Jenna Ortega horror comedy "Death of a Unicorn." Then, the Jason Statham-starrer "A Working Man." Then a fun reboot from 1998: Will Smith and Gene Hackman together in "Enemy of the State." Also, a little Easter egg for you at the end.  Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast.

We're back from our week off and we've got four movies to discuss from the last fortnight. First, it's the star-crossed Disney adaptation "Snow White." Then we've got a Steven Soderbergh jam -- another one! -- with the Cate Blanchett-Michael Fassbender-starring "Black Bag."  Also! The A24 media satire "Opus" and the long-delayed (for obvious reasons) Jonathan Majors-starting "Magazine Dreams." Also, please don't tell Will who won the Illini game. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.

Grierson is at South by Southwest, but he had time to catch up with Leitch and talk about three pretty fascinating new movies.  First, Bong Joon-Ho finally has his "Parasite" follow-up: It's the big-budget sci-fi satire "Mickey 17" with Robert Pattinson. Also, Errol Morris has a new movie, about the Manson murders. And then we slow things down with the baseball tone poem comedy "Eephus." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.

Was that the best Oscar show in years? We think it might have been! Conan O'Brien was an outstanding host, "Anora" won everything and there was the right amount of politics without it being overwhelming. We recap the show, directly after it ended. And nobody got slapped! We talk about movies too! We finally got to Don Hertzfeldt's "ME," the short by one of our favorite filmmakers. And we rebooted 1993's "A Bronx Tale." Fun show! Scary time. But fun show! Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.  Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@gmail.com.

2025 Oscar Recap, "Me," "A Bronx Tale"

You have no idea how close we came to you not hearing this show at all. It's one of the longest non-Dorkfest shows we've done, and we almost lost it when Leitch's file vanished right after recording. Mercifully, he found it, and now you have a show. Late! But it made it. Whew. So, this week! We start with Osgood Perkins' follow-up to his hit "Longlegs," the Stephen King adaptation "The Monkey." Then it's the Hulu Questlove documentary "Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)," about Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. And then the last half is all a preview of Sunday's Oscar show, with predictions. Good luck, Conan. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.
