(*Outrageous popularity pending) Join the brothers Magalhães (Anglicized as Magellan) as they bicker and banter about movies no one has seen or cares about or that have already been analyzed by far sharper minds than their own every week, along with special guest stars of varying willingness and notoriety! Get ready to laugh along with Nathan’s meandering freshman film student level critiques of movies you’ve never heard of, and enjoy the bored, grumpy-senior-citizen-who-would-rather-be-feeding-pigeons energy that has made Elliot the toast of the greater Indianola area! Come for the lukewarm old-man-yells-at-cloud takes on modern movies, stay because you got distracted and left Spotify running.

Magellans at the Movies 2025 Recap Spectacular!!!!!!!
<p>What an utterly terrible year 2025 has been. People are angry, depressed, and hopelessly ensnared in economic woes, and Europe is doing an alarmingly accurate throwback cosplay of the continent’s 1913 political situation. For all desiring an escape from the bleak headlines and bleaker forecasts, however, there were still movies in this the two thousand and twenty fifth year of our Lord, some of them quite good. There were sleeper hits like Sinners and very much wakeful flops like Thunderbolts, Snow White, Mickey 17, Captain America, and . . . just so many more. Still, we all know (I hope) that money hardly equates with quality, and there were plenty of excellent smaller films that came out this year, some of which may be on the Magellans at the Movies 2025 year in review! Join us today as we talk about the best, the worst, and the most anticipated movies we’ve seen and heard about in 2025, not to mention a cheeky book or video game recommendation here and there. Grab some hot chocolate and go heavy on the marshmallows as Nathan and Elliot look back on the year that was and forward at the year to come in our brand new episode! </p><p>Contact us/Requests/Questions: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p>Donate: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paypal.me/magellensmovies?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US">https://paypal.me/magellensmovies?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US</a></p><p>Check out our blog for more reviews and movie content!!! <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://magellansatthemoviesblog.blogspot.com/">https://magellansatthemoviesblog.blogspot.com/</a> </p>

Magellans on the pre-1960s

Magellans on the pre-1960s
<p>Ah, to be alive in the 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. When the global power of communism reached its absolute zenith, just about everyone in the world had to team up to forcibly administer Germany two successive chill pills, and the war to end all wars failed its stated purpose. Lots of important stuff happened during the first half of the twentieth century, but here at Magellans at the Movies, we don't talk about important stuff, we talk about movies. Cinema was a very young art form during this time, and some of the most influential movies were made by some of the most influential people as the filmic medium matured. With so many movies across such a long span of time, though, how could anyone know where to start? Perhaps, dear reader, with the official Magellans at the Movies list of the top ten movies of 1900-1959! That's right, folks, we're wrapping up our decade ranking endeavor with a mammoth episode dedicated to consolidating some of the greatest, most iconic movies in the history of cinema down to a list of ten greats. We will bury you in classic movies, so spread the word over there, here, and everywhere that the episode is about to begin! </p><p>Contact us/Requests/Questions: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p>Donate: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paypal.me/magellensmovies?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US">https://paypal.me/magellensmovies?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US</a></p><p>Check out our blog for more reviews and movie content!!! <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://magellansatthemoviesblog.blogspot.com/">https://magellansatthemoviesblog.blogspot.com/</a> </p>

All About Eve
DEC 12, 2025
All About Eve
<p>There’s nothing quite like a night at the theater. Taking in Shakespeare from within a few hundred to a few dozen feet of the actual, living actors is just a different experience to seeing them from behind the editing and pausability of a film. Haven’t you ever wondered, though, what happens behind the curtain? In high school, it was mostly fart jokes and giggling about who was kissing who in the play, but in the more mature world of professional theater, it’s mostly snappy dialogue and fuming about who is kissing who outside the play. And, I assume, fart jokes. There’s no light being made of flatulence in <em>All About Eve</em>, the 1950 drama directed by Joseph Mankiewicz, but there is a very beloved movie. In fact, this fable of age and ambition is often considered to be among the best movies of all time. Will Nathan and Elliot arrive at a similar conclusion, or will they once again find themselves at odds with the establishment? Buckle your seatbelts and prepare for a bumpy podcast and let’s find out! </p><p>Contact us/Requests/Questions: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p>Donate: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://paypal.me/magellensmovies?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US">https://paypal.me/magellensmovies?country.x=US&amp;locale.x=en_US</a></p><p>Check out our blog for more reviews and movie content!!! <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://magellansatthemoviesblog.blogspot.com/">https://magellansatthemoviesblog.blogspot.com/</a> </p>
