Audrey Watch: The Beginning or The End (1947)
Watched : 08/28/2018
Format: DVR/ TCM

Audrey Quotient: Nowhere near enough Audrey!
This isn't a noir film! Nope. This one is an historical drama about the creation of the atomic bomb. So, you know, fun stuff.

PODCAST! RECOMMENDATION WATCH: Southland Tales (2006)
Watched: 08/19/2018
Format: Amazon Streaming
Viewing: First
Decade: 2000's
You guys, I @#$%ing loved this movie. Get a look inside my wheelhouse and what works for me in a movie with Southland Tales (2006). And, man, we really missed so much of what there was to say - enough so that I'm ready to make covering this movie an annual event.
Official description:
AmyC returns with this overlooked, underseen sci-fi satire of a post 9/11 America. We struggle to convey the plot and all of the amazing things packed into this film - from one of the most astounding casts ever assembled, to musical choices, to transdimensional travel, to porn stars with rock solid business plans. Truly an unusual film that was never given a real shot at finding an audience - Ryan watches the film for the first time and is absolutely ready to push it to his list of recommendations.

PODCAST! SHARK-WATCH! "The Meg" (2018) viewed by SimonUK and Ryan
Watched: 08/16/2018
Format: Alamo Village w/ SimonUK
Viewing: first
Decade: 2010's
SimonUK and Ryan venture out to the local cinema to go see a movie about a really big shark. Opinions differ! Points of view are considered! Puking and laughing simultaneously is considered as a desirable outcome! Who knew one toothy sea creature could create such discord with our reviewers? But we can all agree - Jason Statham is in this movie.

Watched: 08/010/2018
Format: Amazon Streaming
Viewing: third or fourth
Decade: 2010's
Jamie and Ryan cover "Iron Man 2", where the pieces of the Marvel U move forward, plants are placed that will pay off movies down the line, Black Widow first appears, and Tony sits in a giant donut. We also say "interesting" entirely too much. Join us as we realize we discuss how "Iron Man 2" works better now as part of the Marvel puzzle than it did when we saw it as just a sequel Marvel rushed into theaters.

Myrna Watch: Double Wedding (1937)
Watched: 08/04/2018
Format: TCM on DVR
Viewing: First
Decade: 1930's
Well, it's not often that even the most telegraphed of movies puts the twist finale in the title of the movie, but with Double Wedding (1937), we have the equivalent of "He Was a Ghost the Whole Time: The Movie".

Super Watch: Superman - The Movie (1978) at Austin's Paramount Theatre
Watched: 07/29/2018
Format: Paramount Theater Summer Classic Film Series
Viewing: I believe we are northwards of 40 at this point. Maybe the 50th.
Decade: 1970's
The past few years, I haven't had the wherewithal or ability to get downtown much for Austin's Classic Cinema Series at The Paramount Theatre. This year's programming fit the bill for showing "classic film", and while I understand *some* grumbling from friends who don't love the line-up, if you're part of the TCM twitter crowd, as these things go and for the audience it's aimed at - honestly, it's one of their better years. Have I made it down there? No.
I wasn't sure I'd actually bother to go down and see Superman: The Movie (1978) as part of their family film sub-series, either, but Jamie cut me loose to go with PaulT, so I made an effort. Unfortunately, I got my times wrong and I was buying my soda, thinking I had 30 minutes to leisurely find Paul and chat for a bit, they shut the doors. I ran up to the balcony and got to my favorite seat in the theater.
I'm glad I did.

Jamie and Ryan begin a re-watch of all the Marvel movies in order of release! (We call it Chronological Countdown, but we're not doing in some willy-nilly Marvel timeframe). Join us as we consider Iron Man (2008), what it meant then and now in the Marvel Cinematic U and how it looks in 2018 in general.

Horror? Watch: Psychomania (1971)
Watched: 07/21/2018

Watched for a podcast we're saving for the Halloween season
PODCAST! Bond Watch: Goldfinger (1964)
Watched: 07/21/2018
Format: BluRay
Viewing: Unknown - maybe 7th?
Decade: 1960's
It's a PODCAST!
(possibly NSFW) It's "Goldfinger", Ryan's favorite Bond movie. SimonUK is back to help Ryan sort out how much he can say Honor Blackman's character's name out loud whilst being recorded. Join us as we say a lot of nice things about this iconic/ seminal film in the Bond franchise, some of its oddities and how it is just super problematic in 2018.
