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!

2026/04/23

With our birthdays both being this week, we decided to do a birthday movie swap! Ryan offered up Mike Flanagan's "The Life of Chuck" for the duo to watch and explore, while Shane brought "Computer Chess" by Andrew Bujalski to the table. Both movies are very unique in their own ways, and there is a lot to unpack with these two. Join us for this pairing and let us know your thoughts on these off-the-beaten-path picks!

2026/04/16

This week, we watched two movies featuring the iconic Mads Mikkelsen! Shane picked the action/drama/comedy/revenge movie, "Riders of Justice" where Mads plays a hardcore military man who loses his wife in an accident and teams up with a couple of computer geniuses to take down the bad guys who caused the accident. It is surprisingly full of emotion, comedy, and depth, especially compared to more traditional revenge films. Meanwhile, Ryan picked "At Eternity's Gate," where Mads is

The Drama has dropped! We are reviewing A24's newest movie release that is part romcom, part anxiety, and part (you guessed it) Drama. It's a tough one to talk through without any spoilers, but we give an intro to the movie before jumping into spoiler territory in case anyone hasn't seen it, then we dive head first into the movie's spoilers, what we loved, what we didn't, and all the many things it gives us to discuss.What did you think of The Drama?#blockbuster #2026releases

This week, we are tackling the iconic and confrontational films of John Waters. We've got one film from his early, micro-budget era with "Female Trouble" from 1974, starring the drag queen Divine, and one film from his more mainstream, Hollywood era with "Serial Mom" from 1994. There is a surprising amount of similarities here between these two films, and we had a blast breaking down the themes, motifs, and stories between the two.

2026/03/26

The summer blockbuster season has started early, and it started with a bang! Based on the novel by Andy Weir (The Martian) and starring Ryan Gosling, Project Hail Mary is an exciting, funny, and gorgeous Sci-Fi popcorn flick that is worth watching in IMAX if you can! It is blowing away the box office, and it is truly a wonderful film to watch! Join us as we break down what we loved about it and the ins and outs of the movie.

This week, we've got a lot to cover! We start out the episode discussing the Oscars and our predictions (including who won this year's predictions), then we move into our main features—Marcel the Shell with Shoes On and Mind Game. Marcel the Shell is the iconic stop-motion/live-action mixed media movie that features a faux documentarian (played by the director, Dean Fleischer Camp) helping Marcel find his family. It's heartfelt, suprisingly charming, and technically very impressive.Mind

This week, we are exploring the Marvel side of movies, starting where it (kind of) all began with the vampire slaying Blade trilogy from the 90s and early 2000s, and bringing us all the way to the outerspace, counter-Earth venturing Guardians of the Galaxy in their trilogy finale. From one of the earliest pre-MCU movies of Marvel superheroes to one of the best-received MCU movies, we have a lot to discuss in this episode!Find us elsewhere online...email: mindyourmoviespodcast@gmail.comLetterboxd:

2026/02/05

This week, we are looking at some HUGE budget movies with the Wachowskis' Speed Racer from 2008 and Christopher Nolan's Tenet from 2020. Both of which served as a sort of blank check movie for the director's after their previous successes with their prior movies. However, neither of these made equally great success as their directors' previous movies. Still, we are glad we dove into them and there was certainly a lot to talk about with these very unique movies.Find us elsewhere

This week, we are diving into all things Jackie Chan! We jumped into one of his earliest starring roles that helped him break out into the mainstream in 1978, "Drunken Master," directed by Yuen Woo-ping, where he mixed the martial arts and comedy genres to fuse them into a cohesive subgenre that exploded into popularity as a result. His mainstream appeal further catapulted him to success, such that he directed the first two Police Story movies. For the third movie, which Stanley Tong

It is time we finally talked about the movie taking everyone by storm, Marty Supreme! Josh Safdie's newest movie starring Timothée Chalamet as the titular Marty, who believes he is destined to be, well, Supreme. It is a movie with a lot of attention, a lot of discussion, and a lot of critical speculation right now, especially with the award season ready to kick off. What did you think of this one?

This week, we are taking a close look at Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster and The Monster Squad. Ghidorah is the fifth installment in the Ishirō Honda Godzilla and Kaiju film universe that lives on in spirit today with Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) and Godzilla Minus One (2023), but began with the original and classic Godzilla (1954).

This week, we are excited to dive into two movies that eventually got remade. We aren't talking about the remakes much here, focusing instead on the quality and breakdown of the original movies. First, we talk about the cult favorite sci-fi anime, "Ghost in the Shell", then we look at the iconic action movie, "Point Break". Both came out in the 90s and got remakes in the 2010s, and both are substantially better than their remade counterparts! Join us as we explore the cyberpunk

2025/12/04

This week, we took a deep dive into two of the highest-grossing movies of all time! The list (not adjusted for inflation) is full of remakes, reboots, franchises, and mostly post-2000 movies, so we picked two that we felt fit the bill just right. Lilo and Stitch is the live-action/CGI hybrid remake of the 2002 classic, and it grossed over a billion dollars worldwide. It is part of a wider trend of remaking classic Disney movies using a hyper-realistic CGI style. Meanwhile, Venom was the long-awaited
