The ONLY Podcast about Movies

Can the merc with the mouth break the fourth wall long enough for Matt and Shahir to sneak through time and use all of their luck to unpack the sequel to 2016's Deadpool? We open the fridge doors and discuss violence, comedy and whether time travel narratives have enough stakes to keep us interested. Has superhero fatigue finally kicked in or does Deadpool 2 slice and dice enough to make this sequel a cut above?

Check your listings because Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey is returning to planet earth with special 70mm engagements this week only! We're thrilled to present this special episode with author and astronomer Dr. Jana Grcevich as we try to bridge the gap between filmmaking and science. Dr. Grcevich's book "Vacation Guide to the Solar System" is the perfect jumping off point to figure out if Stanley Kubrick's psychedelic trip to Jupiter still makes sense 50 years later!

We're at the end times... sorta. Bringing our MCU review marathon to a close, we finally arrive at Avengers: Infinity War, a surprisingly appropriate title for this billion dollar blockbuster. Returning hero Shalyah Evans comes back to find out if the 18 preceding films prepared us enough for Thanos and his giant purple chin. Shahir makes a cameo appearance to talk about contractual enforcement and whether or not the MCU is the biggest exquisite corpse in literary history. And perhaps most surprisingly, has Matt reached his threshold of deferred storytelling? Rewind time and check out Matt and Shalyah's three-part MCU recap and don't forget to email us your soul stones at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com.

If you only see one movie about a man and his hammer this summer, make sure it's the one starring "Walkman Pheonix" and not that Hemsworth guy. We know there's a little indie film about super friends fighting purple giants that came out over the weekend, but if you want to flex your moviepass, we strongly urge you to check out Lynn Ramsey's "You Were Never Really Here" which makes us question whether hammer-on-face violence is really something you want to indulge in. Filling in for Matt is "No F*ckin Ziti's" Brendan McCarthy who joins Shahir as they deep dive on this ultraviolent tale of revenge and retribution which subverts everything we want and gives us something entirely unexpected. If you'd like to avenge Matt while he's traveling, tell us how you'd do it by emailing onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com.

Be very very quiet... we're being hunted by giant rabbits (they've got big ears... get it?) We're not going to take a vow of silence when talking about John Krasinski's "A Quiet Place". In fact, we'd probably be shouting "go see it!" from the rooftops if we didn't already have noise complaints from yelling at each other on every episode. We probably wouldn't survive the silent apocalypse because we'd be too busy nitpicking every little detail... unless this is one of those rare episodes when Matt and Shahir are in complete agreement!? Also, stick around till the very end to hear a surprise guest cameo from one of our smallest fans! If you have thoughts, type them very quietly into an email and send it over to onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com. Or you could sign language a tweet to www.twitter.com/onlymoviepod.

In Russia, movies review you! This deep dive into Armando Iannucci's "The Death of Stalin" ends up being a closer look Matt and Shahir's respective comedy preferences and tests the limits of their endurance when it comes to real-world horrors. Adapted from the graphic novel by Fabien Nury, this slapstick slice of Russian history has us trawling Wikipedia as we try to figure out fact from fiction. We may not be experts on Russian history, but we know what makes good comedic stroganoff. If you're back in the USSR, email us at onlymoviepodcast@gmail.com to let us know how lucky you are.
