With countless films produced during the course of over a century of film history, determining the greatest movie ever made seems like an impossible exercise. Thankfully, Justus Burkitt and David Scandura — God's favorite idiots — have taken on this Sisyphean task. Join these two film fanatics each week as they meticulously and rigorously review a wide range of movies, painstakingly searching all corners and niches of film history to once and for all find the Greatest Movie Ever Made.
The name is Connery… Sean Connery. Shake your martinis and get ready to tango because this week David and Justus are diving deep into the 1983 pseudo-official Bond film Never Say Never Again! But far from being your usual 007 adventure, they discover that this film is packed full of herbal enemas, on-set violence against animals, and... a video game tournament? Can the Summer of Sean produce The Greatest Bond Movie Ever Made? Or wi...
Sean Connery’s ghost has cursed the boys to watch this psychedelic sci-fi odyssey and more importantly, watch him prance around in bright orange underwear for 100 minutes. The gun is good, the penis is evil, but is Zardoz The Greatest Movie Ever Made?

David’s been possessed by the ghost of Sean Connery, who has declared that TGMEM has to cover four of his films for the Shummer of Sean!

Days have turned to weeks in the Zombie United Kingdom, and David and Justus have arrived to save the day with this episode on the forgotten sequel released in the midst of the 2000s zombie movie craze. But in the world of 28 Weeks Later, the only things scarier than the rage virus are family drama and War on Terror allegories! Check out this episode, and then head on over to the Jeremy Renner app to discuss if this is The Greatest...
This week, the boys take a look at John Waters’ raucous greaser musical Cry-Baby, featuring a sexy young Johnny Depp, a sexier redneck grandmother, and the sexiest of them all, a switchblade-toting greaser affectionately named Hatchetface. But they aren’t the only little freaks in attendance, because a young Willem Dafoe in a scene-stealing cameo, a leathery Iggy Pop in pure freak mode, and your two resident freaks, David and Justu...
This week, David and Justus dive first into John Wick’s world of assassins, intrigue, and like, so much kung fu. By random chance, they have landed on the series’ third installment, a film rife with memorable villains, brutal knife fights, attack dogs, motorcycles, and horses kicking dudes in the face. Is Keanu Reeves’ third outing as the world’s greatest wife guy/assassin the Greatest Movie Ever Made?
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabel...
This week, the boys discuss Wes Anderson’s classic family black comedy, full of offbeat humor, rich detail, and fundamentally flawed characters trying to figure out their depressing lives. That sounds fun? How do they react to this surprisingly sad movie and could it possibly be the Greatest Movie Ever Made?
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) is directed by Wes Anderson and stars Gene Hackman, Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Gwyneth Paltrow,...
This week, David and Justus light the fuse and talk about the beginning to the Mission: Impossible film franchise.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to tune in to this explosive episode of the Greatest Movie Ever Made!
Mis...
The boys try to cheat death’s design this week and discuss the fifth installment of this CGI blood filled horror franchise.

This week, the boys return to the wild and wacky world of Cannon Films to cover what might be the Citizen Kane of the Golan and Globus oeuvre.

Only a ninja can destroy a ninja, and only Justus and David can ...
This week, Justus and David hit one more rep, flex their muscles, and cum day and night as they discuss this classic bodybuilding documentary, starring the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger. This former Mr. Olympia might be a champion on the bodybuilding stage, but does he have what it takes to win the prestigious honor of 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.

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.

This week, experience the story of a podcast in trouble as the boys discuss if Inland Empire is The Greatest Movie ...
