The Greatest Movie Ever Made

TGMEM has an ultra beefy episode about the ultra beefy guns and biceps of James Cameron’s ultra beefy sequel that boldly asks “what if there were more than one alien this time?” Does Big Jim successfully follow up Ridley Scott’s original, or is it game over, man, game over? It’s another Alien day on The Greatest Movie Ever Made and this time, it’s war!

Aliens (1986) is directed by James Cameron and stars Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Hen...

Praise the Lord! TGMEM is covering yet another adaptation of the book of Exodus, but this one has absolutely zero musical sing-alongs and definitely has an extrabiblical romance that takes up too much of the run time! But then again, it also has Yul Brynner’s huge biceps and a hell of a Charlton Heston fake beard, so hopefully those make this movie’s four hour journey worth it. What’s the 11th commandment? It’s “thou shalt listen t...

Things get spooky and witchy this week. The boys turn to High Priestess Pod for a movie suggestion and she conjures up a groovy and offbeat low budget 60’s horror throwback that’s full of floppy dicks, slimy misogynists, and jars full o’ piss! Get ready to fall under the spell of The Greatest Movie Ever Made!

G’day! This week, Justus and David hop on kangaroos and ride to the lawless outback of the land down under, where the only thing stinkier than the sweaty outlaws and more rotten than their yellow teeth is colonial racism. The Proposition is a unique take on the western that’s sure to be a bad time, but maybe this bad time movie could be The Greatest Movie Ever Made!

The Proposition (2005) is directed by John Hillcoat and stars Guy P...

This week, our two drinkers of sacred beers discuss Yorgos Lanthimos’ absurdist/horror/thriller/black comedy/family drama/fable/Greek tragedy thing steeped in rancid vibes, Barry Keoghan being a weird freak, and Colin Farrell looking despondent. Don’t worry, they didn’t forget to talk about the spaghetti scene, they just almost forgot to talk about it because they’re idiots. This and other quality film criticism are in store for yo...

Ruh-roh! The notorious Hannah Detwiler kicks down the doors of TGMEM studios this week. Fueled by ADHD and alcohol, she and the boys attempt to talk about the second live action Scooby-Doo 2. Were they successful? I’m gonna be honest, not really, but you’ll want to tune in to hear all the laughs and antics anyway. And they would have gotten away with it too, if not for those meddling kids and that podcast, The Greatest Movie Ever M...

Justus does a lot of Muppet voices and talks about banging Miss Piggy in this one. David questions if Muppets are experiencing racial discrimination as a result of a human/Muppet civil war. Look, things get weird every time TGMEM talks about the Muppets, but that’s why you love those boys, right? Tune in for more wacky Muppet mayhem on the Greatest Movie Ever Made!

It is happening again. Justus and David once again find themselves lost in another surrealist labyrinth courtesy of one David Keith Lynch, and this time it’s his final full length feature, the epic and abstract Inland Empire. It’s a bizarre mystery of pet monkeys, rabbit sitcoms, dark hallways, and scuzzy Polish guys. This week, experience the story of a podcast in trouble as the boys discuss if Inland Empire is The Greatest Movie ...

The fourth and final competitor in Jackson Off comes out swinging this week, with the Carl Weathers action vehicle Action Jackson. It’s a film loaded with biceps, 80s character actors, and stuntmen getting thrown through glass. But does Action Jackson have enough juice to face off against the other Jacksons from Jackson Off? We’re closing out Jackson Off with a bang and ranking the Jacksons on The Greatest Movie Ever Made!

The great Jackson Off continues! This week, our Jackson up for judgment is Jackson Maine, Bradley Cooper’s boozehound blues singer character from the 2018 A Star Is Born remake.

It’s January 17, 2025, and if youuuuuu can believe it, it’s time for TGMEM to talk about their favorite movies of the year once again! It was a year of Longlegs, whole concerts that were traps, Lisan al Gaibs, and Octobosses, and your favorite drunken idiots are here to break down all the cinematic highs and lows of 2024. It’s Episode SIXTY NINE baby, so get cozy, crack open a beer (because we know you already failed your New Year’...

Christmas may have just come and gone, but TGMEM is keeping things cold and snowy as they venture to the harsh Scandinavian wilderness to talk about The Northman! It’s a film with a lot of yelling, a lot of blood and guts, and a lot of butts! Justus busts out a Bjork impression and David tries to get through the episode without dying via coughing fit (spoiler alert, it did not work). Close out the year with this Viking revenge saga...

It’s the final TGMEM episode before Christmas, so of course the boys are rounding things out with another holiday classic.
