Mind Your Movies

Ryan Kirby and Shane Barlow

Mind Your Movies is a podcast for and by movie fans. In each episode, Ryan and Shane discuss in detail two films centered on a specific topic (spoilers and all!). Sometimes they’re movies we love, and sometimes they’re just movies that have to be discussed. After our conversation, we choose a random topic for the next episode. We choose the next films live so you can watch along with us! Join us for some fun (and informative) conversations about movies!

This week we’re talking about two movies with tiny budgets and massive cultural impact. First we discuss one of the most profitable movies of all-time, Paranormal Activity.

This week, we are talking about all of the Star Wars movies as we rank them in our mutual tier list. Here, the two of us agree on a lot of overarching trends in the movie series, but debate slightly on specific placements. Is Empire Strikes Back the best movie? Is Solo worth watching? How bad was The Rise of Skywalker? Give us your Star Wars thoughts down below!

2025/05/22

This week we’re talking about remakes! We discuss Christopher Nolan’s Insomnia (2002) and Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead (2004). These movies have different approaches to creating a remake/reimagining and we think one was much more successful than the other. We also discuss the original George A. Romero Dawn of the Dead (1978) and the original Norwegian Insomnia (1997) alongside their remakes.

2025/05/08

This week we’re discussing Single Location Movies! Our first pick is the found footage horror movie [Rec] (2007). We’re also talking about Hitchcock’s classic thriller Rear Window (1954). Two very effective movies in their own unique ways, and emblematic of their eras in filmmaking. [Rec]’s digital found footage cinematography contrasts with Rear Window’s beautiful Technicolor cinematography, but both utilize their locations to maximize suspense. Join us for [Rec]ear Window!

2025/04/24

This week, we are talking "Drinking Game Movies", and we decided to drink while discussing these two, so we are a bit rowdier than usual as we talk about two pretty rowdy movies. Ryan's pick for this one is Jim Sharman's cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" from 1975, and Shane skipped ahead a few decades with an equally iconic comedy from 2009, Todd Phillips' "The Hangover". While these are vastly different movies, they both played a pivotal role for

Ep. 15.5: Warfare (2025)

Mind Your Movies ·

2025/04/17

This week we’re reviewing Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s Warfare. A harrowing film that puts you right in the middle of a real battle in Iraq in 2006. Mendoza’s real life experience gives the film a disturbing authenticity and the brilliant sound design makes you feel like you’re right there with the soldiers. We discuss the movie without spoilers first, then go in depth with a spoiler discussion in the second half of the show.

Mind Your Movies ·

2025/02/13

This week’s topic is movies about magic! Ryan and Shane discuss two animated films, Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards (1977) and Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo (2008). Both films use animation to show the audience unique and creative worlds and magical abilities. Wizards is a shoddily paced and vulgar depiction of a post-apocalyptic Earth with fairies, elves, and mutant Nazis. Ponyo, on the other hand, is an endearing and beautiful depiction of life on the Japanese coast and a magical underwater world. Join us in our

Elias Merhige's "Shadow of the Vampire," which reenvisions the behind-the-scenes of the original 1922 "Nosferatu" with Willem Dafoe playing a real-life vampire employed by F. W. Murnau (played by John Malkovich) to create the most realistic movie possible, and David Mamet's "State and Main," which
