The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge

Each month, we challenge each other to watch a classic film and then discuss if it stood the test of time and if it is worth a revisit with modern eyes. Please join us as two pals chat about our shared love of the golden age of Hollywood.

E33 - The Lady Vanishes (1938)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2024/02/28

It is so cool to watch a movie you know is good and not have a single spoiler with it. Always a good experience.Also, we're experimenting with awful AI thumb nails. Nailed it.

E32 - Insomnia (1997)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2024/01/30

Every so slightly late on this release but we're still here and kicking. This was another example of a solid moving being remade. It is a really cool compare and contrast exercise.

E31 - Network (1976)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/12/28

Monologue after monologue in this one. And that is by no means a complaint. Each one tops the last. This is one of the funnier (and scarier) films we covered on this show. No way we do it justice.

E30 - Russian Roulette (1975)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/11/28

Are we sure this wasn't a Canadian made for TV movie?

E29 - Soylent Green (1973)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/10/29

Is this spooky enough for the season? I don't know. Blame one of the Matts.

E28 - The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, But...

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/09/28

I used up all my characters on the title.

E27 - The Maltese Falcon (1941)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/08/31

We sure are hitting a lot of classics recently.

E26 - Double Indemnity (1944)

2023/07/28

Best. Movie. Ever.

E25 - Sylvia Scarlett (1935)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/06/28

We celebrate Pride Month with a rather progressive film for 1935. Ahead of its time? Yes! Actually a good movie? Well... tune in to find out.

E24 - Stalker (1979)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/05/29

This is certainly a heavy one! So much going on, but at the same time, not so much. I think we understand good chunks, but at the same time, not so much. Tough Russian science fiction does make for some fun chats. Sorry again for the audio being less than perfect.

01:20:22

E23 - The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/04/28

Stone cold classic. Need we say more?

E22 - Forbidden Planet (1956)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/03/30

It's Morbin time! *oopsie with the audio this week. It'll be fixed in the next release*

E21 - 10 (1979)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/02/28

It just doesn't feel like they make movies like this anymore. It is a chill fest movie made for adults. I have to be honest, it felt really weird reviewing a movie with so many boobies.

E20 - The Kennel Murder Case (1933)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2023/02/01

We can't be more excited to review our first Nick Charles.... err, no... correction... Philo Vance film. The Kennel Murder Case. We rather adore murder mysteries and this is one of the primordial offerings. There is so much to enjoy here, but falls just sort because right around the corner was the smash Thin Man films. The comparisons make for a fun discussion.

E19 - Seven Days in May (1964)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2022/12/27

Buckle up folks, you're in for a LOT of gushing here. This movie is a stone cold classic from an all too overlooked master... John Frankenheimer. There are some real titans involved with this movie including Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Fredric March, Ava Gardner, Rod Serling and throw Jerry Goldsmith in there for good measure. We touch on all that and more. This flick is tight and every bite as relevant now as it was in 1964. tcmchallenge@gmail.com

E18 - The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2022/11/28

This is another one of those episodes were we selected an iconic movie, but try to assess if it really deserves that status. Did it stand the test of time? I'm certainly willing to say it is one of the cooler and/or sexier movies we've taken on so far. Let us know what you think. As a bonus, we try to address who is the hidden patron saint(s) of the TCM Challenge. tcmchallenge@gmail.com

E17 - Curse of the Demon (1957)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2022/10/28

This could be another perfect example of the goal of this podcast. We were vaguely aware of this film existing, but we had completely incorrect assumptions about it. Diving in with this format showed how awesome and unexpected this experience ended up being. This was a fun one. Go team Karswell.

E16 - Follow The Fleet (1936)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2022/10/01

We were certainly overdue for a musical on the show. We finally broke that streak with a couple legends in Astaire and Rogers. I can say all the numbers were certainly memorable... for one reason or another. Be sure to stick around for the controversial movie selection for next month!

01:23:22

E15 - Wait Until Dark (1967)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2022/08/30

We keep checking off some biggies on this show. This is certainly up there. Wait Until Dark is heavily represented in best of lists out there. One of the scariest movies ever. One of the most suspenseful. And so on. Does it deserve it? Does it stand the test of time? Tune in and find out. Spoilers... it does.

E14 - Lolita (1962)

The Matt & Matt TCM Challenge ·

2022/07/28

While this might not be the highest profile movie we've covered, this might be the most important for us. We dive into the wonderful world of Kubrick. With a filmography that has a controversial title or two, where does this 60s movie stack up? You also get a bonus book podcast review as well. Yes, we did our homework and enjoyed this conversation. I hope you do too.
