  • Dogma (1999)
    Sep 24 2025

    On this week's Who's Our Lead?? Jarrod and Jordan discuss Kevin Smith's Dogma, which marks the end of Matt Damon's significant involvement in a certain type of independent filmmaking. He still has more movies to make, but it seems unlikely that we'll ever see Damon in a movie that features a poop demon ever again, for better or for worse (it's for better).

    Jarrod and Jordan discuss Matt Damon in Steven Spielberg's 1998 massively culturally significant WWII film Saving Private Ryan.

  • Good Will Hunting (1997)
    Aug 27 2025

    Jarrod and Jordan discuss Good Will Hunting, a film that must be discussed when talking about Matt Damon. Directed by Gus Van Sant and written by Damon and Ben Affleck, Good Will Hunting was smash success at the box office and the Oscars and stands as an enduring movie of the 1990s. Though Damon had starring roles before this, most notably in The Rainmaker, this movie serves as the beginning of Matt Damon's rise to be a person you and your parents have heard of in movies.

  • Cat People (1982)
    Feb 5 2025

    Jarrod and Jordan discuss the first film ever directed by Paul Schrader that he did not also write, 1982's Cat People. This detachment shows a bit in the final product, but if you think that means this episode short guess again, loser.

  • Raging Bull (1980)
    Dec 18 2024

    Jarrod and Jordan welcome back a familiar face from the Paul Schrader extended universe, Martin Scorsese, as they discuss the colossal 1980 film, Raging Bull. Schrader's involvement in this film may have been smaller than it was the last time he and Scorsese brought a miserable shell of a man to our screens, but his presence is felt in the final product, a movie that makes boxing look more elegant and more brutal than its ever looked before.
