Marathon Me: A Movie Marathon Podcast
An entertaining conversation from friends, Rhys and Kane, as they marathon films that share the same series, director, actor or themes. The movies explored, reviewed and ranked could be anything from cinema mastery and mindless entertainment, to visual and auditory assaults - as long as they're viewed as part of a movie marathon.

THE LAST MARATHON ME
After close to four years, 150 episodes and a hell of a lot of movies, Marathon Me comes to a close. But who knows, maybe this will be a "final chapter" the likes of Friday the 13th Part 4 or Saw 7, that end up being nowhere near the last entry!
Rhys is going to Europe for an undisclosed amount of time, and the time differences, nomadic nature of the trip and different cuisines overseas, it looks like putting the...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
A bit unreal to think that Kevin Smith has become Marathon Me's longest series; the boys travelling from a convenience store, to the mall, a Christian cult camp, meeting God, and back to a convenience store (many many times.)
The journey proving to be as close to a mixed bag as one could imagine for a filmmakers' career.
Rhys and Kane rank every film from the once iconic director, b...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
After being stuck in development hell for seemingly forever, Kevin caps off the 'Clerks' trilogy with a third and final entry; and if it wasn't for one more film to follow, fittingly bookend his entire filmography.
But this is the world we live in: one where Kevin's film career appears to come to a sentimental and existential close, ending where it began, in the Quick Sto...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
After Yoga Hosers, something quite big happened to Kevin Smith. Not a new child. Not a new big culture-shifting movie. But a heart attack. What happens to Kevo's career and filmography when the man is faced with death itself and has to confront it? Jay and Silent Bob Reboot happens: the most Kevin Smith movie ever made.
In this View-Askew installment, determined to avenge their legal defeat to Sa...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
Just what the world asked for... a pseudo-sequel to Tusk. How did a get a film like Yoga Hosers from Kevin Smith? The answer: a lot of weed. It also seems you get an over-the-top vulgar animated film as well as a nice bonus.
When Yoga Hosers sees Harley Quinn Smith and Lily Rose Depp play disinterested teenagers who fight-off tiny Bratwurst-Nazis, Jay and Silent Bob become hardcore superhero...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
After making a name for himself in the raunchy comedy space and becoming a becoming a bit of an icon for his relatable yet lightly flawed characters; Kevin changes course once again to something no one could have ever expected, horror movies.
Opening this new chapter for Kev is 'Red State,' a pre-MAGA ultra-conservative threat cult thriller that keeps the vulgarity, but adds a laye...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
It seems the View-Askew bible is ACTUALLY closed now and we're onto a new phase for Kevo. Who would've known this next phase was making other people's movies?
On one hand, the director steals Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks to make his own Judd Apatow movie, and on the other, he borrows Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan and someone else's script to make a buddy cop film. Is this ...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
Now that the View-Askewniverse is all tied up and finished, Kevin decides to break the mold, pave a new course and go for a film he's never done before. Then he goes right back to where he started.
Where Jersey Girl tells the world that Kevo is more than profanity and deadbeats working shitty jobs, Clerks II shoves the man right back into his comfort zone. Back to the Quickstop, with th...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
The KS universe finally comes together in a mega-mashup akin to the MCU's Infinity War. Just trade Spiderman for Bluntman, and infinity stones for joints. Jay and Silent Bob are the heroes this city needs.
When best friends, Jay and Silent Bob discover that a major movie based on them is in production, the pair head to Hollywood to rightfully claim the royalty money they deserve.
Rhys and Kane rev...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
Did not think it would take only four films for Kevin Smith to take on Catholicism, Alan Rickman and God Him(Her)self. Looks like we're here and Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and along for the ride.
Two fallen angels who were ejected from paradise find themselves banned in Wisconsin. They are now headed for New Jersey where they find a loophole that can get them back into heaven. The only ...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON

When two comic book artists meet a girl, one of them falls for her but the man's hopes are crushed when he finds that she is a lesbian.
Kane and Rhys jump on this third entry to the View-Askew-niverse and debate over whether its the best direction for Kevin to ta...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
So you've made "Clerks". You're the new hot kid on the block. You can make something great for almost no money. Hollywood is throwing you an opportunity to break it into the mainstream. Whatever you do: don't screw it up.
"Mallrats" sees two best friends seek the comforts of the mall when their girlfriends leave them on the same day. After a day ...
KEVIN SMITH FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
Marathon Me takes on another director. Feels a bit soon, doesn't it? Well, this one has been a long time coming. Rhys and Kane dive into the View-Askew-niverse, and look at all the films of Kevin Smith.
The rightful and only place to start is Smith's first major hit that took indie-wood by storm. A simple and humble effort filmed entirely in and around a convenience store...
BLACK CHRISTMAS FRANCHISE MARATHON
Christmas 2024 may have already passed, but Marathon Me has one more Christmas task: to rank this trilogy of remakes.
An oddity that Black Christmas never got any direct sequels, but instead reinvention after reinvention, all spanning from a spine-tingling original classic slasher.
Kane and Rhys probably undertake one of the easiest rankings they've done so far - wi...
BLACK CHRISTMAS FRANCHISE MARATHON
A far more modern interpretation of "Black Christmas," all inclusive with a nice sheen of amateurism and (attempted) elevation.
With holidays around the corner, Riley and her friends prepare for a Christmas party. But when a masked stalker targets girls and goes on a killing spree, they decide to fight back.
Following the 2006 remake, Kane and Rhys' hopes ...
BLACK CHRISTMAS FRANCHISE MARATHON
In the thirty years since the original, movies changed quite a lot. But horror changed A LOT. From a film that inspired Halloween, how do we think this 2006 Dimension slasher film with fare?
A murdering sociopath escapes prison and returns to his childhood home. However, he finds out that his house has been converted into a sorority house and begins killing the students living th...
BLACK CHRISTMAS FRANCHISE MARATHON
Marathon Me gets festive this holiday season; but of course with a bit more blood, plastic bag kills and a freak in the attic than you're usual family Christmas (most of the time). The boys take on the trilogy of remakes that is the 'Black Christmas' franchise.
As winter break begins, a group of sorority sisters begin to receive anonymous, lascivious phone calls. S...
PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
One marathon, spanning three decades and nine films.
PTA touches on many themes, taking our hosts from the porn industry on the 1970s, to the oil rush on the late 1800s, and what it means to grieve in a contemporary turn into the 2000s. But one thing runs true... this director knows what he's doing.
Rhys and Kane try to rank their individual favourite Paul Thomas ...
PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
There's very little stranger than the transition from adolescence to adulthood... and the fact that maybe it may never happen. Licorice Pizza is one of those 'vibe movies' where you're transported to another era, an earlier time in your life, and a place where maybe your ethics are put on hold temporarily so that you can feel something pretty intense
Th...
PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON FILMOGRAPHY MARATHON
The first PTA film set outside of L.A., this journey puts us in a new location, and on a new path for the director. Quiet, slow, serious and mature.
