The Matt and Mark Movie Show
Movie reviews, industry talk, and film discussion by two grumpy old men who should know better.
Episodes
Santa’s got a brand new bag… a brand new GRAB BAG!
Yes, come celebrate the return of our annual HOLIDAY GRAB BAG EPISODE! There’ll be retro Christmas commercials, holiday hijinks, and movie reviews. The theme this year: LUMP OF COAL — crappy christmas movies rated lower than a 5 on IMDb. And those lumpy movies are… Jingle All the Way 2 (starring Larry the Cable Guy!) and the Syfy original, Santa Jaws.
...‘Tis the season for GREMLINS!
That’s right, we asked Saint Nick for a little holiday fun and he delivered with Joe Dante’s monster masterpiece.
We deep-dive into the classic film for Mark’s first watch ever, and geek out over Gizmo, Stripe, and of course, good ol’ Dick Miller.
We also announce this year’s holiday Grab Bag theme, so get pumped for that. If you want to get straight to the Gremlins ...
Edgar Wright returns to theaters this week, and so do we! We’re reviewing his big blockbuster update of THE RUNNING MAN before it loses all of its premium screens because no one is seeing it. Whyyyy?
You can scrub directly to the review at 21:57 to hear our spoilery thoughts. But if you do, you’ll miss us chatting about Heinz 57 and laughing like idiots about old AOL screen names. Good times.
Oh, and speaking of idiots,...
We’re heading into the Badlands!
In this episode, we’re talking all things Predator – from deep-diving into this latest blockbuster installment PREDATOR: BADLANDS, to ranking our favorite Predator films across the franchise.
There will be blood, Alien crossovers, and of course, Matt’s Danny Glover impressions from Predator 2. “WANT SOME CANDY??”
Our Disneyland trilogy of episodes is now complete.
Nerds that we are, we returned to Disneyland to celebrate Halloween this year. Hear us recap our spook-tacular experiences at Oogie Boogie Bash, break down our first ever visit to Haunted Mansion Holiday, and chat about Award Wieners, Hallo-wieners, and all the wieners in between.
Joining me, as she always does for these Disneyland Trip Reports, is our own Producer in the Booth.

The Horror Show comes to a CHILLING conclusion this week… for the icy sequel, BLACK PHONE 2!
Ever wanted to see The Grabber ice skating like he’s in the Winter Olympics? No? Too bad, you’re gonna see it anyway and we’re gonna discuss it as we deep-dive into spoiler conversation for Black Phone 2. Joining us is friend-of-the-show Derick McDuff from the Underrated Movie Podcast.
That review begins at 25:56… b...
The Horror Show rolls on with a special episode this week… all about HALLOWEEN HORROR NIGHTS!
Yes, we survived Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood and we’re here to tell you tales about what we saw in the fog. There were brujas. And cram fries. And bone marrow. ARE YOU BRAVE ENOUGH TO HEAR THEM?
Hear our pulse-pounding play-by-play of every haunted house at this year’s event, including Terrifier, Five Nights at Freddy&...
The Horror Show returns this week for a special BIRTHDAY SPOOK-TACULAR!
That’s right, Matt celebrates turning 42 with a trip to THE ‘BURBS!
Join us as we go back in time to the days of Fun Tom Hanks, obsess over our favorite sight gags, and of course, praise the genius of Joe Dante. If you want to cut right to The ‘Burbs review, you can scrub ahead to 41:56…
…but just know you’ll miss birthday shenanigans, some bi...
LIVE from the back of Mark’s rental car, it’s… THE MATT AND MARK HORROR SHOW!
Join us as we say goodbye to the Warrens with a full SPOILER review of the record-breaking horror blockbuster, The Conjuring: Last Rites. We deep dive into spoiler talk on the film as we attempt to answer questions like: why is there a giant Annabelle? How many Conjuring cameos can you spot? And who voted to have John Wayne replace The N...
We went viral… and it’s all thanks to Ice Cube’s crappy new movie.
Hear us talk all about how the star of Amazon’s zoom call, War of the Worlds, helped us take over Instagram!
Plus, special guest Tommy Nuggetz joins us to review Zach Cregger’s horror hit, Weapons. And if that wasn’t cool enough, Mark and I also slice out some episode time to chat about our Turtle-y awesome screenings of Teenage ...
Sun’s out, James Gunn’s out.
We’re popping our heads up from break to chat about all the summer movies we’ve caught so far. Spoilers abound, so proceed with caution. The movies on the docket: Superman (2025), Jurassic World Rebirth, F1: The Movie, M3GAN 2.0, 28 Years Later, and Final Destination Bloodlines.
We also catch you up on what we’ve been up to this summer, hear some voicemails from our buddy, ...
JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE comes to a thrilling end this week! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’ve been chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead.
And that movie, this week, is TENTACLES – an overly-dubbed Italian production about the world’s biggest lil’ killer octopus. We’re joined by friend-of-the-show Dave who was kind enoug...
JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE continues! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’re chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead.
Joining us this week are TWO very special guests: John Say AND Dasein from The Love of Cinema Podcast! These cinema-loving bros are here to help us BRODOWN about Joe Dante’s PIRANHA. Or Pirañha, if you’re feeling zesty.
How d...
MOVIES THAT MAKE SHARK WEEK LOOK LIKE SHART WEEK.
Welcome to the official start of… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’re chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead.
This week, we review ORCA, the movie that pits a young Dumblebore against the undisputed king of the waters, the killer whale. Ever thought you’d see a kill...
A little bonus bite for… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE!
Before we go deep-sea diving for the crap, let’s go back to the big fish that started it all.
As a primer, hear Matt recap and review all four JAWS movies. Where can you watch them? HOW can you watch them? And which Jaws sequel is a stealth good movie that’s been getting a bad rap? Hint: it’s not the one you think!
See you next week for the official start of Jaws Knock...
MOVIES THAT MAKE SHARK WEEK LOOK LIKE SHART WEEK.
Welcome to our second themed month… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’re chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead.
And to kick off this Jaws-some month, we’re pre-gaming with a movie that’s not a Jaws knockoff at all… FREE WILLY, with special gu...
It’s an allergy episode. I’m sorry I sound like Rudolph in the 1964 Christmas special where he has to wear a fake nose.
It’s not all bad though… Jeff graced us with another legendary Jeff voicemail! Plus, we talk movie news about that huge Kung Fury leak, and we discuss a bunch of stuff we’ve been watching, like A24’s WARFARE, Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts (I’m not putting that stupid ...
Until Dawn is a popular horror videogame that everyone seems to love with a movie that no one seems to be watching. Why??? Join us for this Matt and Mark Super Informative Investigate Report… for Dummies.
We review this new horror film from the director of Lights Out and the Shazam movies that stars character actor darling, Peter Stormare. We praise its craft, inventive storytelling, and physical FX work that leaves little to...
This is one of them FREAKY TALES.
The directing team behind Captain Marvel (yep) returns from director jail with a retro anthology movie called FREAKY TALES, and since Matt is only human and likes cool poster art, he dove at the chance to review this little oddity of a movie.
What do Pedro Pascal, an axe, green lightning, Blade, and the rapper Too Short have in common? We don’t know. We’re not sure this movie knows eith...
Holy crap, how long’s it been?!
The Matt and Mark Movie Show returns from a long pod break to watch Jason Statham punch, kick, and kill stuff. Yes, we’re reviewing A WORKING MAN, a movie you had no idea was written by Sylvester Stallone. Believe it.
Along the way, we question some of the movie’s logic, try to understand Statham’s living situation, and play predictions about whether or not we actually liked t...
