Happy Independence Day! It’s the Fourth of July in America! We actually recorded this episode back in October of 2024, but who’s counting? Behold, this is the 11th Edition of Considering the Cinema’s THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST! Here in Episode 084, your hosts — Jason Pyles, Mack Robins and Dave Becker — bring you movie reviews from the 1940s, 1960s, 1980s and 2024! For instance, Dave discusses an early Tom Hanks flick that you probably never even heard of! Mack talks about a lesser-lauded Chloe Grace-Moretz flick that utterly strains credulity but is entertaining nonetheless. And Jason discusses a Casey Affleck space movie! Join us!
Note: This episode was recorded in October 2024, and it released on July 4, 2025!
THE WEEKLY WATCHLIST is the type of episode where we simply talk about whatever we’ve been watching lately from our own, personal watchlists. Here’s how it works: Jay, Mack and Dave have zero “movie-watching homework.” We are completely free each week to watch whatever we want from any era, year, genre, country, etc! We can finally go through our own personal watchlists and catch up with the films we’ve been meaning to see. So, every week will be vastly different. Let us know what you think of this format.
Jay of the Dead also hosts a WEEKLY HORROR MOVIE PODCAST with Mister Watson at Horror Movie Weekly.com. And of course, every Horror fan should check out Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, The Gold Standard of Horror Movie Podcasts.
Thanks for listening to Considering the Cinema Podcast and Considering Horror Cinema, The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of Movie Podcasting… Don’t forget: You can email Jay, Mack and even Dr. Shock at ConsideringTheCinema@gmail.com or post a comment in the show notes for this episode.
