Andrew Watches Movies Podcast

Join Andrew for a trip to the theater for the new horror film Smile. Will we still be Smiling after exiting the film? Tune in to find out. 

Alright, here we go. In our society, there is a constant debate surrounding the personal sins of creators, and how it effects the audience perception of the film. People doing heinous things isn't something to be celebrated, but it can be explored in a safe space. Often times, the work of these creators is confessional and can be mined for red flags. The other side of things, especially with Woody, is that many performers did their best work in his films. Mia Farrow, Diane Keaton, and Diane Wiest will be the focus for the majority of this episode. We will be talking about Woody, but more as an artist than his documented misdeeds. This is not to discredit any victim, but just to try to talk about things from a different perspective. I hope that this episode is successful in doing so.  Email any questions or complaints to AndrewWatchesFilm@gmail.com

Not every movie is gonna click with every viewer. Today, we have a few movies on deck, and one just didn't hit it out of the park. Tune in for conversations on Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, Fall, and the cringe comedy I Love My Dad. Also incluedes a short discussion on The Toy starring Richard Pryor. That was a first time watch on HBOMAX, and is a risky recommendation. 

Three movies walk into a bar. Two of them are there to party; to have a fantastic time. One of them is filled with characters more annoying than anyone in The Blair Witch Project or The Babadook. Two of them decide that one gotta go, and they bounce them from the bar. The three movies are Bodies Bodies Bodies, Pizzagate Massacre, and Emily the Criminal. The one that gets ejected might surprise you. Join Andrew for a spoiler free discussion on all three. Stick around after for a special message from Ice-T and Body Count.  

Today we are gonna talk about 3 movies that are streaming now and are worth your time. Not OK and Prey are streaming on Hulu. It's a shame that Prey isn't a theatrical release, but it is still a captivating action film on your at home setup. Try to watch the Comanche dub version of the film, it is a richer experience. Not OK is also a very good comedy that goes down smooth. HBO Max debuted the movie Belle last week. I should have seen that in theaters, but didn't find the time. Even if you aren't a fan of Anime, this is one that should be given a chance. It transcends the medium, and is more than worth your time. As always, I appreciate all of you who listen, and even appreciate those of you who don't. 

Join Andrew for a discussion about an adorable little shell with some pretty slick shoes on. Been waiting to see this for a while. 

This is the maiden voyage with a new Blue Yeti microphone. The Savor Theater in Fort Lauderdale had a free showing of Tragedy Girls on Friday night, which I saw as a perfect way to explore a city that is still very new to me. The podcast started as a rewatch of a film that was one of the first ones I reviewed on this podcast. It's one of the reasons I love watching independent horror films, to find those gems that really stick with you. Tragedy Girls is my go to recommendation for horror fans, and also something I thought was worthy of getting a tattoo in honor of.  Like life, this podcast took some twists and turns. Just going out into the world can be a dangerous thing with many perils on the journey. Your friend and humble narrator found himself in danger, and the episode became more of an exploration of an evening filled with red flags. I hope you enjoy. I hope I'm coherent. 

Today, the moon is full and love is in the air. Maybe the world is just too horrible for horror right now, so it's time to focus on something else. Instead of werewolves and monsters, we are gonna watch a movie about how the moon effects lovers. Moonstruck is streaming now on HBO Max, and is a first time watch for Andrew.  A night of insomnia led to introspection. The Before Trilogy from Richard Linklater was a perfect antidote to the frustration of not being able to sleep. The films are wonderful time capsules made 9 years apart. We are due for another one next year. They are streaming until the end of the month on The Criterion Channel. They have 2 week trials, you know what to do.  Follow Andrew on Letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/

What is more American than July 4th? Elvis Aaron Presley would be the correct answer. The only thing more American than Elvis would be going to see the new Baz Luhrmann film in the theater while eating a slice of apple pie. Consession stands across America should have thought of this idea. Join Andrew for on a trip to the movies to see Elvis.

Join Andrew for another game. On this episode, we break down Saw chapters 6 thru 9- Nice!  Contact the show- AndrewWatchesFilm@gmail.com https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/

Wanna play a game? Join Andrew for a trip through the mind of a killer. The Saw series has always been a blind spot. I'm one who may have unfairly placed the francise on the heap with the other torture porn movies. Most of the movies on that heap don't have much of a point to them besides the violence. Maybe Saw is a different beast altogether. Join Andrew as he finds out just how different this franchise is. 

Join Andrew for an afternoon trip to the movies. Is Tom Cruise in for a soaring high, or a crash landing? Think that last line was cliche or hokey, wait til you see the movie... Contact the show AndrewWatchesFilm@gmail.com Follow Andrew on Letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/

Friday May 13th 2022 is the only Friday the 13th we get this year, so a couple Jason movies had to be watched. It might be Saturday the 14th, but it's 2022 rules. Jason can own the weekend. There are no real rules.  Past a certain point, the series gets ridiculous, so why not revisit Jason vs the Telekenetic girl in Friday the 13th Part 7: A New Blood. Mario Bava's A Bay of Blood paved the way for the franchise in many ways, and had some kills copied for Friday the 13th Part 2. This can be found streaming on Shudder, and should be watched by every fan of the franchise. It might not have Jason, but it does have that style.  Email the show: AndreWatchesFilm@gmail.com Follow Andrew on Letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/andrewmartin/
