I Finally Watched...
So many movies, so little time! Two cinephile friends, David and Alain, watch movies that at least one of them has never seen before and discuss whether it was worth the wait, if the movie holds up, and would they watch it again.
Episodes
There is just a vibe when it comes to the month of May and we've done our best to pick movies that match that vibe! You'll see by the end of this month if you agree with us! But this movie is perfect! It gives off those May vibes, David has never seen this film AND the sequel just happens to come out this week after 20 years! Enjoy!

We end our parody month with a mockumentary focused on pop idol Connor4Real played by Andy Samberg in this off the wall comedy that is actually quite solid! We also realized that most if not all our all parodies contain in one form or another a musical element, which was completely accidental! ENJOY!

Top Secret! (1984) blends Cold War spy thrills with Elvis-style musical parody as naive American rock star Nick Rivers stumbles into a web of espionage while performing in East Germany. Amazingly enough this is Val Kilmer's very first film he starred in and definitely won't be his last comedy we do here on the pod! Enjoy!

The Substitute (1996) follows a battle-hardened mercenary who goes undercover as a high school teacher after his educator fiancée is attacked by gang members. And as a 14 year old we would want nothing else, but the real question is does it hold up? Find out and enjoy this weeks episode!

A mix of romantic comedy and sports, Bull Durham has it all... well, except plot! Its not a big deal though because this movie is still very entertaining and makes for a very entertaining episode! Bull Durham walked so Challengers (2024) could run! Enjoy!

Lady Bird (2017) is definitely one we've been waiting for here at IFW! Definitely one Alain should not have missed, however that is now remedied! But did the hype of this film oversell it for him? Find out on our St. Patty's Day episode of I Finally Watched...! Enjoy!
(Also, did we make this our St. Patrick's Day episode only because Saoirse Una Ronan is Irish American? Yes)
Possibly the best Friday the 13th film so far! Its not a very high bar but with this film we are finally starting to see the appeal! Only took us 6 films! Hope you enjoy the episode!

On this episode of I Finally Watched, the hosts dive into Annie Hall, the movie that more or less invented the modern rom-com as we know it. From neurotic love stories and fourth-wall breaks to bittersweet realism, they unpack why this film is the granddaddy of every quirky, talky romance that came after—and whether it still works for first-time viewers today. Funny, thoughtful, and a little existential, just like the movie itself....
In this episode of I Finally Watched…, the hosts kick off their In Memoriam Month by revisiting Sidney Pollack’s 1975 political thriller Three Days of the Condor. They break down the film’s paranoid tone, slow-burn suspense, and Cold War anxieties, while discussing why Robert Redford’s understated performance as an unwitting CIA analyst remains so effective. The conversation then shifts to a reflection on Redford’s career and cultu...
