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.

Folks, this week we have to turn to a re-release as the holidays have jammed our editor (which is Max) up. So have a listen to an early episode.
I'm going to work over time to get Shang Chi out by Monday and then we will be back to our regular schedule.
Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays, whatever those holidays are.

On this week's episode we tackle Dennis Villeneuve's film adaptation of Frank Herbert's science fiction masterpiece, #Dune. Does Villeneuve succeed in bringing Herbert's long, imaginative, complicated, idea-rich novel to the big screen? Have listen to find out what we think. Hopefully our love of both the original novel and science fiction films will make us your most ideal guides to this film.
This is a longer episode folks, but it is a big, ambitious movie that attempted to bring to life a big, ambitious novel. Enjoy the show! Let me know what you think on twitter.
Happy Holidays.

Here is this week's episode folks. This week, we talk through our reactions, expectations of the latest offering from that galaxy far far away....
That means we are talking about Disney +'s upcoming The Book of Boba Fett. Are we excited? Do we have predictions? Do we talk history and trailer Easter eggs? You bet we do. If you have any hope of being properly prepared for TBOBF, it is cosmically crucial that you listen to this episode before the show's fast approaching drop date of December 29!

For a couple of reasons (mentioned in the intro) we are revisiting Netflix's Masters of the Universe: Revelation. This is likely a good idea because Part 2 of the Kevin Smith helmed show dropped recently. We will tackle that soon. In the meantime, here is what we thought of Part 1. Next week we tackle the sand dunes of Arrakis.
See you in 7....ish.

This week on Max and Jason Watch a Movie, we are joined by frequent flyer guest host Anya. We tackle the entire sprawling series of Marvel counterfactuals contained in the series What If...? Max says a controversial thing that creates a firestorm of controversy concerning cinematic Wizard battles.
We also discuss the roots of the series in the 1970s, and spend some time giving Roy Thomas a lot of credit for his work in developing the crazy idea of What If....?
Enjoy the show.
Enjoy the show.

On this week's episode we watch a classic of the underdog film genre, The Bad News Bears. This is the '76 version, dated and problematic to be sure.
What did we think? Have a listen and find out.
Here is a trailer for the film (the did trailer's differently back then).

Folks huge apologies for the lateness of this episode. It is both a week late and, on top of that, it is a single late Halloween episode. We had wanted to give listeners a month of Halloween episode. Alas, we flubbed it. We'll try to do better next Halloween! After some production and life obstacles we present to you our reflections, reactions, observations on that much loved classic by Francis Ford Coppola, Bram Stoker's Dracula,
Our production schedule is back on track. Again, huge apologies for the missing a week. Enjoy the show and let us know what you think. Did we get it right?

Well, here it is. The second part of our two part discussion of Logan has arrived. Corrections are made, though not enough, as I (Max) kept thinking that the casino hotel our heroes stay at is in Vegas. It was not.
Anyway, we think you will enjoy our commentary even though we are discussing bittersweet film. Let us know what you think.

On this week's episode of M&JWAM, we begin our deep dive into Logan. This will be our part one. It is a film worth exploring in some detail. In part one we get into production and make some educated guesses about what source material Mangold et al are adapting or being inspired by. We also pretty thoroughly explore the first act of the film.
Let us know what you think but reaching out to us at Lordmovies39@gmail.com, or find Max at thesuppertest on twitter. Enjoy the show.

Folks this week, we're going to try a new episode type. The Meanderings. Before or after almost any recording we do, we talk a lot, about a lot of different things. I thought our pre-show conversation for Logan was interesting and fun enough to offer to you. In this conversation we tackle, the Hypothetical Future MCU Mutant movies, the strange franchise that was Fox's X-Men films, Thor Ragnarok, The Matrix films, and we discuss how we think of the Sam Rami Spider-Man films, though not necessarily in that order.
Enjoy the Meanderings.
