We find film fascinating. We like discussing production, editing, story, storyboarding, acting, directing, cinematography, film scores, trivia, history, fan service, fan theories, subtexts, big ideas; if it is part of film we like to discuss it. For us film is no different than literature can be discussed just as deeply, or shallowly. We have been discussing movies for years and want to invite you, the listener to join us. I'm Max. And I'm Jason. Welcome to the conversation.

Max called an emergency audible. So, instead of Last Night in Soho, we pivoted and decided it was imperative to tackle the trailer drop for Thor: Love and Thunder. This news was so stunning we had to bring in friend of the pod, Anya!
The following riveting episode is filled to the very brim with Thor trivia, our completely accurate predictions for the film's direction and major beats as well as things we hope to see in the film but are less sure will actually be in the film. We also mention some things we are watching and think you might want to watch.
Here are links to the other things we are watching and are currently captivated by.
Jason was wowed by Apple TV's severance you can find the trailer....

Anya is captivated by Moon Knight which you can find on Disney +. Trailer ....

On this week's episode, we tackle Steven Spielberg's first feature film, Duel. It started its life as a made-for-TV movie but then grew into something more. This is where a dynasty of feature film excellence began. The film stars Dennis Weaver, as an everyman kind of hero and giant semi with a nearly faceless, certainly nameless driver. It was based on a short story by the great thriller and horror writer Richard Matheson. Matheson also wrote the screenplay adaptation. How well does Spielberg's first thriller hold up? Have a listen and find out what we think of this 1971 thriller where almost all the cars are large, in charge, but maybe not great on gas.
We have some big projects in the works, but we'd love to hear some film suggestions from listeners.
Enjoy the show.

Folks! In this episode, we continue our discussion of The Limey. If you did not listen to part one go back and check that out. Also, if you have still not taken my advice and watched The Limey, please, stop the podcast, go watch it and come back. Spoiling spoilers abound in this episode. Our episode will keep.
Well, you've been warned.
Enjoy the show!
See you next week.

As promised, it's Thursday, and Max, Jason, and Anya are about talk all things Batman. Specifically, The Batman. Now before you think this is a rebroadcast of an old show, this is the 2022 interpretation starring Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, and Jeffery Wright among others!
There are some unexpected fireworks that may, just may involve Jason going on an epic rant. Its a fun discussion and we hope you, the listener will chime in.
Enjoy.

Hey gang!
Lets imagine this is the very beginning of season 2 of Max and Jason Watch a movie, and I, Max, being of sound mind and body, am committing to adding one or two new -short- episodes per month to the roster in addition to our regular shows. This is the first ever, "Tuesday Shorts." Enjoy, and let me know if you want more of this. Its just me in this one and I talk about what I've been watching, and what I think you should be watching, or what you should be avoiding.
In this one I give you my mighty thoughts, insights and reflections on the short film, Heart Shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2V25Y96nYY
and Pieces of Her, another Netflix thriller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJwPc0MsbOQ
I also give my thoughts on the Elizabeth Holmes Hulu drama, The Dropout starring Amanda Seyfried. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7rlZLw9m10
And finally I talk about DC Animation's latest offering, Catwoman, Hunted. https://youtu.be/PYPqTLS_g9c
Don't forget to tune in Thursday, where we talk all about The Batman.

This week is part one our Shang-Chi deep dive. Look for Part 2 on Thursday.
We ran long in our conversation but we also thought the history of Shang-Chi, and the general reception to the film required some serious discussion. Shang-Chi is easily one of Marvel's most interesting moves in the 1970s and makes for an interesting and unique entry into the MCU. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a film very worthy of a two part episode.
Enjoy the show and we will see you next week for Part 2.
