WatchParty with Zeke & Urijah

Welcome to our Movie Podcast- WatchParty with Zeke & Urijah! When we started dating in 2019, most of our first dates were to the movies and then to the local bar afterward for a drink and chat. Over a beer, we would give our reviews and opinions, reflections and observations, likes and dislikes about the movie. When the 2020 pandemic happened, we ended up living in separate states across the country, the theaters and bars were closed and we couldn’t see each other, and thus our ritual was halted- until we found WatchParty. Every night we would watch a movie over a browser extension called WatchParty. It would sync up our film viewing and allow us to video chat making it feel like we were experiencing it together. I like to think that we fell in love over WatchParty. The following episodes are our continuation of this ritual. We hope you enjoy!

We give our reactions to seeing a prescreening of September 5 by the Swiss director Tim Fehlbaum. This movie shows the inner workings and decisions of the ABC sports crew that covered the events of the Munich Olympic Hostage Crisis of 1972. The entire film takes place within a control room which is something that Zeke is very familiar with due to work. As always, let us know which films you want us to review and react to.

We Live In Time stars two of our all-time favorite actors, Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh. The film follows the two falling in love, having a daughter, and the impact of a cancer diagnosis on their lives together. It's told in a non-linear timeline and definitely requires some tissues at the theater.
