Episodes

  • #164 – Parasite

    24/05/2022 Duration: 01h01min

    For Movie-Go-Round's latest Around the World pick, David chose the acclaimed Korean movie Parasite. Part con-artist tale, part parable about class warfare under capitalism, this Best Picture winner inspired deep discussion topics such as how wealth insulates and isolates people, how poverty can make moral purity arduous, what happens when the classes cross the lines of what's expected of them, and the heartache of life in a semi-basement. Next episode will be the You Did This to Us poll winner, the Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds rom-com The Proposal. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com. Find us online by heading over to mgrpodcast.com.

    19/04/2022 Duration: 01h04min

    This round's Future Classic comes from Nicole's list, and she, David, and guest Terri Lynne Hudson were eager to get into our discussion of Get Out. We covered a little of everything -- homages! Symbolism! Microaggressions! The Sunken Place! The T-S-mothatruckin'-A! And of course the old chestnut of "Is it a thriller or a horror movie?" Come listen and find out!

  • #162 – Pleasantville

    12/04/2022 Duration: 53min

    In this Can We Just Talk About? David brings the 1998 film 'Pleasantville.' Brett, David, and Nicole discuss why this film is a perennial classroom favorite, whether or not Brett understands the plot of 'Click', and, of course, Don Knotts' voice. Pleasantville wears its message on its sleeve - how does that fare all these years later? Also, the crew gets sidetracked... a lot. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

  • #161 – Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes

    05/04/2022 Duration: 48min

    The cycle begins again with Brett's New to Two pick, a time-hoppy microbudget movie from Japan called Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. It plays with time, staircases, expectations, and monitor cables. We discussed its single-take conceit, the inherent paradoxes, peer pressure, K-dramas, and how smart people with glasses are (pushes frames up nose), among other things.

    29/03/2022 Duration: 45min

    For this Movie-Go-Round You Did This to Us pick, you all chose The Beastmaster. I hope you're happy. We discussed the tale of Dar and his animal friends Todo, Kodo, Podo, Shouty Bird, and Tigger. Also Dar's skeevy tendencies, his quest for revenge, glowy Nyquil magic, Rip Torn making a house payment, and the unnerving bat-winged people who just want a hug. A melty, melty hug.

  • #159 – Summer Wars (Soma Wozu)

    22/03/2022 Duration: 51min

    For this week's Around the World, we talked about Momoru Hosoda's 2009 animated film, Summer Wars (Soma Wozu). David brought it to the panel -- what's so special about it...and familiar? Is it possible for a director to plagiarize his own work? Is it possible for a massively popular novel and very expensive movie version to also rip off that same work? Did Brett and Nicole like it anyway? We discuss our real opinions of this virtual world on this episode. The side-by-side comparison of Summer Wars and the Second Digimon Movie: Bokura no War Game (2000) can be found at Actar's Otaku Life, The Plagiarism of Summer Wars? You can read more about eWorld at Remembering eWorld, Apple's forgotten online service. Next episode's You Did This to Us will be 1982's The Beastmaster. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

    16/03/2022 Duration: 01h07min

    For this Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, Brett nominated 2021's The Suicide Squad. We had a lot to say about the acting, the gleeful gore, the early exits of some of the characters, and the anthropomorphic shark. Did David and Nicole agree that this will become a classic of the modern age of superhero movies? We had a good time trying to figure that out! Come have a listen.

    08/03/2022 Duration: 51min

    Welcome to our new theme, called "Can We Just Talk About...?" Brett, David, and Nicole each came up with 10 movies that they were desperate to talk about but that didn't fit the other categories, and we used a random draw tool to choose a movie from that pool. This round, Nicole was the lucky winner and we got to talk about Pacific Rim! Giant mechas punch giant monsters! Woot! Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

  • #156 – Upstream Color

    01/03/2022 Duration: 56min

    We kick off a new Movie-Go-Round cycle with Nicole's New to Two pick, Upstream Color. This head-scratcher seems to be about identity, interconnectedness, addiction, memory, trauma bonding, and...pigs? What did Brett and David think? Could any of us make sense of it? How was Amy Seimetz? And why do we have to keep playing the "Can we separate the art from the artist" game? Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com. Find us online by heading over to mgrpodcast.com.

    22/02/2022 Duration: 01h15min

  • #154 – Deep Red (Profondo Rosso)

    19/02/2022 Duration: 52min

    For this Around the World Movie-Go-Round episode, Nicole brought Dario Argento's murder mystery Deep Red (Profondo Rosso). We gabbed about the over-the-top weirdness, marveled at the visuals, Brett argued about the music, and David wondered if everyone in this movie were clairvoyant except for the folks trying to solve the crime.

  • #153 – Kubo and the Two Strings

    16/02/2022 Duration: 57min

    David nominated this Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, Kubo and the Two Strings. This 2016 stop-motion animation film is inarguably gorgeous, and beautifully made, but it is not without its controversy. We talk about the low Asian representation in casting, touch on parental mental illness, and debate how astute a 10-year old should be expected to be when confronted with a magic monkey.

  • #152 – Little Door Gods (The Guardian Brothers)

    11/02/2022

    This round's Primeflix Roulette was an animated film from China that comes in two versions: the original, available on YouTube, and the culturally neutered Weinstein Company cut, available on Netflix. Two minor gods, thinking they're no longer needed by the human world, are asked for a little divine aid when a mother and daughter have to keep the family restaurant going. A brother god comes to help while the other takes more large-scale measures to feel needed, ones that could end in disaster. Will the restaurant stay afloat? Will the world end? Will someone please wake up Nicole Kidman? It's time for her lines. Next week will be David's pick for a Future Classic, Kubo and the Two Strings. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

  • #151 – Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

    08/02/2022 Duration: 01h11min

    Brett's pick for New to Two this round is right up his alley -- Chicago blues, August Wilson, and philosophical monologues, creating the stew that is Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Brett, David, and Nicole discuss this fictional day in the life of the real blues legend Ma Rainey, and get into the powerhouse performances, the hazards of predatory music contracts, and the problem of evil.

    04/02/2022 Duration: 54min

    Welcome to the 150th episode of Movie-Go-Round! Normally any multiple of five would be a "You Did This to Us" episode, but since you voted for Twilight for our 100th, we figured we'd just carry the spirit of that forward.

  • #149 – Shin Godzilla

    31/01/2022 Duration: 50min

    It was Brett's turn to choose our "Around the World" Movie-Go-Round film, and he chose 2016's Shin Godzilla (a.k.a. Godzilla Resurgence). For a movie with a strong comedic bent in the first act, we dig surprisingly deep into cultural fears, Japanese-U.S. relations, and origin conspiracy theories. Come listen as David dotes on Kamata-kun, Nicole tries to describe Godzilla's roar using her junior-high-level music vocabulary, and we all give respect to the Nerd Task Force. Next up will be our 150th regular episode, a "You Did This to Us" entry, and we will be watching the second movie in the Twilight series, New Moon. Woof. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

    06/01/2022 Duration: 56min

    In this Netflix Roulette episode of Movie-Go-Round, we were going to discuss Llamageddon. Yes, that's exactly how it sounds. Go watch it if you dare. But life got in the way - see the first minute of the show. So, we're taking a wonderful trip down memory lane to watch something that's far worse with 100x the budget: 1995's Mortal Kombat. This travesty of a film was originally viewed for our last film podcast, Geek Cinema Society. This week, we're dropping two flashbacks into your feed. For the next episode, and what would have been a Nicole Future Classics pick, you'll hear our 2017 discussion of Howl's Moving Castle. We appreciate your understanding and hope you had a spectacular and safe holiday and New Years. After Howl's, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming!
