  • Brazil

    Brazil
    Feb 5 2026
    Paul and Amy take on Brazil, Terry Gilliam’s surreal warning about authoritarianism, paperwork, and the cost of losing one’s imagination. They trace the film’s roots in Gilliam’s own experiences, his battles with studio power, and the creative compromises that nearly reshaped it to examine why Brazil remains one of cinema’s most enduring dystopias.

    Shakespeare in Love
    Jan 29 2026
    Paul and Amy step backstage with Shakespeare in Love, to exploring how a troubled production and last-minute casting changes led to one of the most debated Oscar victories of all time. They chat about Judi Dench’s scene-stealing performance, the film's playful blending of romance and literary myth, and the role awards campaigns play in shaping a film's legacy.

  • Uncut Gems

    Uncut Gems
    Jan 22 2026
    Paul and Amy take a deep breath and revisit Uncut Gems, examining Adam Sandler’s career-best performance as a man who just can’t stop pushing his luck. They unpack the film’s jittery score, its fraught production and awards-season snub, and the lineage of anxious filmmaking that makes every bet feel like life or death.

I love listening to Paul and Amy really dig into movies. I recently discovered the podcast and am now about 50 episodes in. I was truly excited that they continued beyond the AFI 100 and can't wait to see how the format changes. They are somewhat pedantic at times and get on their soapboxes but, honestly, that's what I come for. A discussion with friends about movies, not something sterile and bland. I want crazy opinions and weird thoughts and tangents connecting to other movies. Even the silly suppositions and rumors and conspiracy theories about old Hollywood.

Paul and Amy break it down

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
Overly long, very slow starts so expect to skip a bunch before they actually get to talking about the films. Tried a few, last one I had to skip about 17 minutes before they really talked about the film.

Expected analysis, break downs, or something other than them just a lot of them saying "oh I liked this part".

Their "takes" come off as very amateurish which is weird because I know they know a lot about film. It's just weird when they say something that makes you wonder if they even saw the film.

Total meh.
