Real Movies Podcast

In this episode of REAL MOVIES, we discuss the Oscar-nominated documentary, SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN, which is about how recording artist Rodriguez became a national phenomenon in South Africa and had no idea about it.

We settle in for our longest episode ever as we discuss the 2012 documentary "The Queen of Versailles." The film features David and Jackie Siegel as they set out to build the largest single-family home in North America. Things go differently than planned with the stock market crashed, and the Siegels are forced to change the way they live and stop construction on their massive new house. Music in this episode: "Moneygrabber" by Fitz and the Tantrums

We return from a long break with episode #25 of the Real Movies Podcast with a discussion of two films from 2007: "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" and "Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade." Both documentaries feature a few of the same people from the Twin Galaxies world of competitive arcade games such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Don't forget to find us on Twitter and Facebook!

Jon and Rob discuss the documentary MARWENCOL. Next episode: KING OF KONG and CHASING GHOSTS

Rob has never hated a documentary as much as he hated the 1986 documentary SHERMAN'S MARCH. Listen to hear why!
