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.

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 killer w...

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 Knockoffs June... OR...

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 guest co-host, Jeff from The...

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 asterisk), Death of a Unicorn, and more.

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 th...

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 either. But he...

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 this movie. Where does ...

Strap in for wild Retro Reviews of ALTERED STATES from 1980 and SURF NINJAS from 1993. We even squeeze in some MADAME WEB talk. Why? Why the hell not.

Why is the Invisible Man such a jerk in all his movies? How many techs did it take to animate Kevin Bacon's invisible dong? And what does this movie have to do with why Matt hates Olive Garden?
We discuss all of this and more in this week's HOLLOW MAN episode -- our second entry into our unofficial Invisible Man movie miniseries. You know we love Paul Verhoeven so we were stoked to review another one of his movies on the pod. We d...

It's the movie that nearly ended John Carpenter's career!
Come back with us to 1992, as we discuss Memoirs of an Invisible Man, the monster movie flop that starred one of Hollywood's most legendary jerks, Chevy Chase.
Join us as we delve into the film and try to decide which SNL character is a dead ringer for Chevy in this movie. We also discover this film's strange connection to Halloween III: Season of the Witch, as well as som...

BILLY ZANE-UARY goes out with a BANG, as we review one of the few action-packed films in Billy Zane's filmography… SNIPER.
We discuss the film’s unusual approach to action, its ten (!) direct-to-video sequels, the gravely performance of Tom Berenger, and where it falls on our all-time list of sniper films.
If you want to get right to the main Sniper review, scrub ahead to 13:59 … but just know, you’ll miss some important stuff ab...

"FOR THOSE WHO CAME IN LATE..."
Welcome to our first ever themed month... BILLY ZANE-UARY! A mini-series celebration of one of our best and BALDEST actors.
And to kick off this Zane-y stunt, we’re reviewing one of Billy's classic roles as the ghost who walks... AKA... THE PHANTOM. Did Black Panther borrow a ton from this movie and just not tell anyone? We think so. We also think it has some not-so-nice things to say about the Ind...

Last week it was a Wolf Man with male pattern baldness, and this week it's Mark Wahlberg with male pattern baldness. Yep, we're talking FLIGHT RISK, the new thriller directed by controversial filmmaker, Mel Gibson.
Speaking of shit-stirring controversy, Matt caused quite a stir at his local theater this past weekend and recounts his harrowing ordeal in great detail. It involves a bathroom. Need we say more? Don't care about this a...
