Raised By Video

Welcome to Raised by Video, a podcast about movies hosted by four brothers who will stop at nothing to make each other laugh. We are Andrew, Daniel, Matthew, and Stewart Doggett. Like many of you, we were raised by video to such an extent that our personalities are 90% movie quotes, 10% movie-related internet memes, and 8% poor math skills. We pick two movies a week to discuss, but the main goal of every episode is to make each other pee our pants from laughter. And we succeed so often we all wear

2025/11/03

Is The Monkey the best Stephen King adaptation yet, or does it slip on its own banana peel?Three Doggett brothers have a barrel of laughs as we discuss Osgood Perkins’s horror-comedy follow-up to Longlegs. We unpack the wild plot, debate the funniest kills, and quote some of the movie’s most hilarious lines.Plus, we compare it to the short story and consider whether this is an instance where veering from the source material is a net positive or a huge mistake. Spoiler: we had way too much fun with

53 - The Order (TEASER)

2025/10/30

Is The Order the best 2024 crime thriller you’ve never heard of?This based-on-a-true-story film flew under the radar for us until it hit streaming platforms, and it’s such a shame it didn’t get more publicity. Jude Law’s performance blows us away in this simple yet impactful cops-and-robbers film set in 1980s Pacific Northwest. Law plays an FBI agent, while Nicholas Hoult plays a domestic terrorist with his sights set on a white ethnostate. There’s little to gripe about in this film, so we have a

2025/10/27

A music mogul, a kidnapping, and a moral conundrum, all with a Spike Lee twist. As the Doggett Brothers review the latest Spike Lee joint, our wildly differing opinions make for one of the most contentious episodes yet. Whereas some of us enjoyed the risks Spike took with this remake of the 1963 Kurosawa film High & Low, others found it to be one of Spike’s weakest films to date. But there’s one thing we all agree on: Denzel Washington is still a master of his craft. We discuss everything from

2025/10/23

In this week’s teaser, we discuss Sinners, the genre-bending horror/musical/character study that gave the masses hope for new original movies that are … good!?But do the Doggett brothers agree with the unwashed masses? Listen to find out as we review this Hollywood horror hit.We talk a bit about Michael B. Jordan’s performance(s), discuss why this movie is so unique (and successful), and touch on the technical aspects of shooting Jordan for dual roles. We also get an astronomy lesson from Drew,

2025/10/20

In The Smashing Machine, Dwayne Johnson does something truly shocking—he disappears into a role. Whether it’s a completely successful disappearance is up for debate …The Doggett brothers talk about The Rock’s most human performance yet, Emily Blunt being (as always) the best thing on screen, and whether this movie successfully dodges biopic clichés or barrels right through them.Plus, we debate whether Johnson’s performance deserves Oscar buzz or if the prosthetics should get their own credit.Listen

This week’s patron-only episode features arguments, pirate jokes, and mild outrage about the lack of shirtless Josh Hartnett scenes.In Fight or Flight, Hartnett plays a badass ex-government agent on a plane full of assassins who all want him dead. It’s supposed to be an over-the-top action-comedy full of crowd-pleasing violence and ridiculous fight scenes. But is it fun or just exhausting?We talk tone, direction, and why this film might secretly be a Bullet Train sequel written by ChatGPT. If you

2025/10/13

On this week’s free episode, the Doggett brothers review the divisive new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, One Battle After Another.At its heart, this is a father-daughter movie about an aging revolutionary trying to save his daughter from a maniacal military officer. But as with every PTA film, that description doesn’t even scratch the surface.We dig into the gritty cinematography, the insane performances, the killer Jonny Greenwood soundtrack, and possibly the most unique car chase ever put to film

In this week’s free episode on Raised By Video, we discuss the horror-movie hit of 2025: Weapons. When 17 children run out of their homes one night at the same time, it sends a small community into turmoil. As the mystery unfolds, a disparate cast of characters comes together for an explosive climax. In addition to jokes and Whitest Kids You Know references, we discuss the excellent camera choices, performance, and the effectively disjointed plot. Plus, we point out some of the possible issues with

2025/10/02

In this week’s Patron-only episode, we review a modern take on the Ray Bradbury classic about the dangers of censorship. Someone should probably censor us once in a while, because our tangents in this one might get us canceled. We come up with a highly offensive new name for Michael B. Jordan, argue about marshmallow toasting techniques, and explain how this movie ties into the Batman extended universe (it doesn’t). Between all that, we actually manage some serious discussion about censorship, and

Does this legacy sequel live up to the joke-packed Naked Gun movies of the 80s and 90s, or is it a pale imitation?In this week’s free episode, the Doggett brothers discuss the performances, the jokes, and why spoof comedies are so hard to get right. Much like the movie itself, this episode is packed with jokes, tangents, and way too many chilidogs.The Naked Gun is a 2025 action comedy film directed by Akiva Schaffer; written by Schaffer, Doug Mand, and Dan Gregor. It stars Liam Neeson, Paul Walter

A live-action Aladdin remake directed by Guy Ritchie!? Let’s hope it slaps as hard as Will Smith does!As the Doggett brothers delve into this Disney remake, we share what our three wishes would be, compare this movie to the much-beloved original, and make all the lamp-rubbing jokes you could ever want.Plus, we answer the hard-hitting questions you’ve come to expect from us: Does Smith make the Genie his own, or is it a pale facsimile of Robin Williams’s stellar voice performance? Why is the genie so

Does this fresh take on Superman suck? Does it not suck? Will it turn around D.C.'s thus-far disastrous attempts at crafting a Marvel-esque cinematic universe? The Doggett brothers tackle these questions and more in this episode.We also dissect the film, covering its highs (great effects, fresh story beats), lows (paper-thin logic, some classic comic book contrivances), and everything in between. Along the way we crack jokes, derail into tangents about Superman’s love life, and have a heated debate

2025/09/18

In this week’s teaser, we review a zany, fast-paced Indiana Jones ripoff starring Jim from The Office. This film is a direct-to-streaming Apple TV product directed by Guy Ritchie. Yes, you read that right. The Guy Ritchie. Naturally, we see how many references to his other (better) movies we can jam into this episode. Plus, we break out our amazingly accurate and not-at-all-grating British accents. You’re welcome. Some of us enjoyed the movie, despite its obvious shortcomings, but others were bored

2025/09/15

From “gritty action thriller” to “wait, is this a comedy?”It’s hard not to compare a sequel to its predecessor, but we try our best as we discuss The Accountant 2 in this week’s episode. From Ben Affleck’s confusing character shift and the convoluted plot, to the poor writing and more John Bernthall than some of us can handle, there’s a lot to say about this film. Luckily, the mess gives us plenty of material, and we somehow manage to keep the episode shorter than the actual movie.The Accountant 2

What would you get if you asked ChatGPT to write you a script combining Die Hard, White House Down, and Air Force One? G20. Wow. Where to start? This movie is a mess. But the messier the movie, the funner the review. And we have a blast tearing apart this made-for-TV Olympus Has Fallen.Viola Davis’s talents are wasted as she plays an ex-military President who gets stuck in a hostage situation with a bunch of other world leaders.

What looks more like a radiation victim than a wolfman? The “creatures” in the 2025 Wolf Man reboot.This reimagining of the classic Universal Monster is a swing and a miss, according to the only people that matter — us. It’s more of a slow-burn body horror transformation movie than a creature feature. Unfortunately, the plot is sluggish, the characters are threadbare, and there are too many plot inconsistencies to make it an effective movie on any front. As we discuss what worked and what didn’t, we

While not a perfect film by any means, we all come with positive things to say about this one — and plenty of jokes, too. There’s a lot to unpack in this movie as we explore themes of
