You Had Me At Skip It
From the movies you love to love and the movies you love to hate, Mike and Taylor provide weekly movie news, reviews and so much more. The former hosts of Screening in Kingston give you their hot takes on current and past films. A movie podcast for movie fans!
Episodes
This week Mike reviews Wicked: For Good and rants for a while about movies, musicals, movie musicals, stage musicals and the mess that was Wicked: For Good. Taylor reviews Frankenstein, the latest film from Guillermo del Toro, and she compares it to other Frankenstein films.
This week, it’s a deep dive into 80s oddities and icons. Taylor reviews Fade to Black, a cult thriller where a lonely cinephile’s obsession with movies takes a deadly turn. Mike takes on Little Shop of Horrors, the horror-comedy musical blooming with catchy songs and a man-eating plant, along with Spaceballs, Mel Brooks’ interstellar parody that skewers sci-fi with slapstick flair.
Nicole joins us for a post-halloween special packed with 80s grit and midnight chills! We’re diving into Angel (1984), where a high school student leads a double life on the streets of Hollywood and Jack’s Back (1988), a thriller that brings Jack the Ripper into the modern age. Expect camp, chaos, and classic skip-it energy as we revisit these cult horrors.
We had a few more fan questions for Father Quirk, so here is a special episode, hosted by Taylor, going through the last of our Halloween themed fan questions. Happy Halloween from You Had Me At Skip It!
Father Quirk continues our Halloween run with a double dose of vampires! This week we sink our teeth into Horror of Dracula (1958) and Fright Night (1985), exploring how the movie vampire evolved from Gothic menace to 80s charm. Classic horror meets campy fun and it’s all fair game for spooky season.
Father Quirk returns for more Halloween movie talk! This week we’re diving into two eerie explorations of cinematic horror: Dario Argento’s Deep Red (1975) and Peter Strickland’s Berberian Sound Studio (2012). From giallo blood and stylized murder to the unsettling hum of sound design gone mad, we’re talking atmosphere, artistry, and the strange beauty of fear on film.
Taylor and Mike summon their thoughts on The Conjuring: Last Rites, the final chapter of the long-running horror franchise. Was this a fitting farewell for Ed and Lorraine Warren, or did the series finally lose its spirit? We also take time to discuss some of our favourite films from the Conjuring universe.
Halloween season rolls on with more chilling picks! We begin the episode with talking about Stranger Things Season 5, the release date, schedule and our thoughts on the upcoming season. Taylor reviews Clown in the Cornfield, a slasher with sharp edges and social commentary lurking beneath the blood. Mike dives into the opening episodes of Alien: Earth, a fresh sci-fi horror series that blends cosmic dread with grounded human drama,...
This week, Taylor reviews The Wrong Paris, a charming new rom-com that proves love can bloom in all the wrong places. Mike reviews The Woman in the Yard, a tense horror film filled with creeping dread and shocking reveals. Together, they break down the laughs, the scares, and whether these movies are worth watching or worth a skip.
Father Quirk is back for a dive into the shadows of classic Film Noir. This week, we explore Chinatown (1974) and Key Largo (1948), breaking down their masterful writing, striking cinematography, and lasting impact on the genre. Plus, hear our non-spoiler takes on what makes these films essential viewing.
After a short break, we’re back and ready to close out the summer movie season in style! In this episode of You Had Me at Skip It, we revisit the biggest hits (and surprises) of the summer from the Fantastic Four, to the prehistoric spectacle of Jurassic World: Rebirth, the explosive buzz around Weapons, and the heartfelt charm of Friendship.
We'll be back as of September 18 with all new episodes of You Had Me At Skip It! Mike gives a brief update and introduces you to his Star Trek podcast with Tyler Vance! Enjoy an episode of Yesterday's Star Trek and we'll see you next week.
With Mike away from the show for a bit, Taylor takes to the airwaves to answer some fan questions, call the show by its wrong name and helps George give his first ever review as he reviews Shrek!
