Weapons

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/10/05

Send us some fan mail! Seventeen kids walk out of their homes at 2:17 a.m. and vanish into the dark, and the worst part is how fast the town decides it needs someone to blame. We recommend Weapons, then we pull the movie apart and put it back together, section by section, the same way the film does with its shifting points of view. What starts as a small town horror mystery turns into something we can’t stop thinking about, and yes, it somehow becomes weirdly rewatchable. We would love to h...

Happy Gilmore

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/09/14

Send us some fan mail! “Damn you people, this is golf, not a rock concert!” Happy Gilmore is still hilarious and sentimental. We rewatch Adam Sandler’s 1996 sports comedy and get into the real question: is it just a stack of iconic quotes, or is it actually a good movie with a solid underdog engine? Give us a listen!

Gravity

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/09/07

Send us some fan mail! Space is gorgeous until it’s trying to kill you. We recommended Gravity, then came back to unpack why Alfonso Cuarón’s space survival thriller still feels like the tightest 90 minutes in modern blockbuster filmmaking and why it can make you realize you haven’t breathed in a while.

Casino Royale

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/08/24

Send us some fan mail! Casino Royale is the moment James Bond stops feeling like a cartoon and starts feeling like a bruised human being, and that’s why we can’t stop talking about it. We’re breaking down Daniel Craig’s first turn as 007, from the black-and-white opening kills to the parkour chase that helped define 2000s action movies. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a “great Bond movie,” we argue it out: gadgets versus grit, charm versus competence, and why this reboot finally makes the ...

Batman Begins

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/08/17

Send us some fan mail! The movie that changed the landscape of filmmaking. Without the success of Batman Begins would we have the MCU? Listen to us discuss who our favorite Batman is, and how this film ranks in the Trilogy. We also dive into the lengths Christian Bale went to get a bat bod. What's your favorite Christopher Nolan film? Give us a listen! We would love to hear from you!

Mission: Impossible

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/08/10

Send us some fan mail! The first Mission: Impossible is a 1996 time capsule that somehow still feels sharp, tense, and stylish, so we finally put it on the We Recommend Podcast. We are Jesse and Jason, and we dig into why Brian De Palma’s approach turns a big Tom Cruise action movie into a quiet paranoia thriller, where the smallest sound can feel like a gunshot and every extra in the background might be part of the trap. Give us a listen! We would love to hear from you! Send us an email a...

Spider-Man: Homecoming

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/08/03

Send us some fan mail! The most terrifying Spider-Man moment might be a suburban front door opening. We’re recommending Spider-Man Homecoming (2017) and digging into why Tom Holland finally makes Peter Parker feel like a real teenager instead of a fully grown adult pretending to be 16. The jokes land, the school stuff feels lived-in, and the movie’s best scenes are the ones where Peter is clearly in over his head and trying to act cool anyway. Give us a listen! We would love to hear from you...

Jurassic Park

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/07/27

Send us some fan mail! Jurassic Park still plays like a perfect blockbuster because Spielberg makes us feel wonder and fear with craft, not noise. We nerd out over sound design, practical effects, chaos theory, and why the franchise loses the plot when it tries to go bigger instead of smarter. Give us a listen! We would love to hear from you!

Ghostbusters (1984)

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/07/20

Send us some fan mail! We go back to Ghostbusters (1984) and get obsessed all over again with how it blends real stakes, practical effects, and comedy that stays mostly subtle even when the premise is ridiculous. The result feels less like a nonstop joke machine and more like a legit paranormal action movie that just happens to be hilarious when it wants to be. Give us a listen! We would love to hear from you! Send us an email and maybe it will be read on the podcast! werecommendmailbag@gmai...

Rocky III

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/07/13

Send us some fan mail! Rocky III is the point where Rocky Balboa stops being the hungry underdog and starts living like the champ, and that’s exactly why it hits so hard when everything falls apart. We recommend the 1982 boxing sequel, then unpack why the story’s real opponent is comfort: commercials, celebrity, easy title defenses, and the creeping fear that you might not be the person you used to be. Give us a listen! We would love to hear from you! Send us an email and maybe it will be ...

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/07/06

Send us some fan mail! “Man Of Constant Sorrow” is one of those movie songs that rewires your brain, and we cannot shut up about why it hits so hard. We recommend O Brother, Where Art Thou? and then dig into how the Coen Brothers turn a goofy chain-gang escape into something that feels like myth, musical, and road comedy all at once. If you love movie soundtracks, Bluegrass music, or films that somehow become comfort watches, this one is a feast. Give us a listen! We would love to hear from ...

Guardians of the Galaxy

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/06/29

Send us some fan mail! A talking raccoon, a walking tree, a mixtape, and a team that somehow becomes a family in record time. We recommend Guardians of the Galaxy and then pull it apart piece by piece to figure out why it still feels better written, funnier, and more emotionally honest than a lot of the MCU that came after it. Give us a listen! We would love to hear from you! Send us an email and maybe it will be read on the podcast! werecommendmailbag@gmail.com https://www.buzzsprout.com/2...

Dogma

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/06/22

Send us some fan mail! Dogma is one of the rare religious satires that can be filthy, hilarious, and strangely sincere in the same breath, and we had a blast revisiting it with fresh eyes. We start with the real-world saga around access and ownership, why physical media still matters, and how the movie’s long disappearance shaped its cult status, then we get into what Kevin Smith is actually doing under all the jokes: pushing back on self-righteous certainty while still leaving room for faith...

Ready or Not

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/06/15

Send us some fan mail! A wedding night is supposed to be awkward in a charming way, not “your billionaire in-laws might hunt you to death before sunrise.” That’s the wicked hook of Ready or Not, and we go deep on why this horror comedy still hits so hard years later. We talk through Samara Weaving’s performance as Grace, a final girl who feels genuinely terrified, funny, and furious all at once. We also dig into Radio Silence’s direction, how they balance suspense with slapstick brutality, a...

Shaun Of The Dead

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/06/08

Send us some fan mail! Shaun of the Dead is the rare zombie movie that makes us laugh hard and still sneaks up with real grief, and we wanted to figure out how it pulls off that trick. We talk through why Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are such a perfect pairing, how Pegg lands the emotional beats with Shaun’s mom and stepdad, and why Edgar Wright’s direction makes the comedy feel sharp instead of random. If you love horror comedy, British humor, or the Cornetto trilogy, this conversation is basic...

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/06/01

Send us some fan mail! A great comedy doesn’t just have jokes, it has conviction. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery goes all-in on its swingy, colorful James Bond parody and somehow turns the dumbest premises into the cleanest punchlines. We rewatched it with note-taking brains turned on and came away even more impressed by how tightly the gags are built, how hard the movie commits to tone, and how Mike Myers makes Austin and Dr. Evil feel like two completely different comedic engin...

Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves

We Recommend: A Movie Podcast ·

2026/05/25

Send us some fan mail! Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves has a reputation people love to argue about, so we finally put it to the test and then immediately wondered why we ever doubted it. What we found is a full-blooded 1991 action adventure that’s somehow gritty, romantic, and genuinely funny, with the kind of big swings that make movies feel like events. We talk through the real debate everyone brings up first: Kevin Costner as Robin Hood, the accent that comes and goes, and why his sheer cha...
