Gladiator

Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast ·

2026/04/21

Send us Fan Mail ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED (by our podcast)?! We are starting a new theme this week and this time it's "all roads lead to Rome". If you're unfamiliar with the phrase it is a proverb that means there are many different ways (or paths, methods, or approaches) to reach the same goal, destination, or conclusion. It emphasizes that the end result is what matters, not the specific route taken—whether in problem-solving, achieving success, or arriving at a particular outcom...

Strawberry Mansion

2026/04/14

Send us Fan Mail Our "I can't remember" theme is over and it's time for another listener pick before starting the next round. 'Strawberry Mansion' was sent to us in a dream by Kayla where in the year 2035, a dream auditor working for an all-seeing surveillance state meets a lifelong dreamer who remains resolutely analog, protecting her unconscious from corporate overreach with VHS tapes and homemade headgear. During this routine audit, he winds up on a surreal and cosmic journey and be...

Project Hail Mary

Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast ·

2026/04/07

Send us Fan Mail It’s time for a field trip as the MRT crew hits the theater for Karl’s pick, Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling as a school teacher who awakens on a spaceship with no memory of how he got there. Because this was based on a novel of the same name by Andy Weir that Karl bought in an airport, we also discuss whether we like our sci-fi soft or hard, as well as whether we have any airport routines. So get your permission slips ready and come join us!

The Snake Pit

Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast ·

2026/03/31

Send us Fan Mail This episode, we continue our theme of “I Can’t Remember.” Our pick, “The Snake Pit,” a very Deep Track from 1948 starring Olivia de Havilland, is about a woman who wakes up in a mental institution, with no initial memory of how she ended up there. We also dive into Western Civilization’s approaches to mental illness throughout history and discuss how this film exposed the less than ideal state of the mental health industry at the time. So, take some time to...

Memento

Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast ·

2026/03/24

Send us Fan Mail It's time for a new theme and this time around we have "I can't remember". This round will involve movies related to memory loss, amnesia, forgotten identity, ummm... loss of memory and maybe some other themes that I can't seem to recall at this time. Up first we have 'Memento', from somewhere around the turn of the century... maybe the year 2000? Yes, that seems right... at least this century I think. It's an early Christopher Nolan film from what my notes ...

This film is about a teenager who escapes from her life working at her family’s circus to a fantasy world after her mother has an unexpected health emergency.

Leviathan

Movie Roulette Tuesday: The Podcast ·

2026/03/10

Send a text We close out our theme of “The Ocean Is Vast” this week with 1989’s creature feature Leviathan, about a crew of underwater minors battling a mysterious undersea enemy. Is it a ripoff of Alien and The Thing? Some people think so. Did we? Tune in to find out! This film was part of what is known in Hollywood as a “trend cluster”, in which multiple films around the same theme are all released in close proximity. We discuss how trend clusters come to be, the films that were part ...

The Poseidon Adventure

2026/03/03

Send a text This week, the vastness of the ocean continues; this time we are trapped on a capsized cruise ship, overturned by a rogue wave and climbing our way to freedom in reverse. That's right, it's 1972's "The Poseidon Adventure," starring a very "hands-on" Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters, Roddy McDowell and many, many others. We also dive into the 1970s "Disaster Film Cycle" as well as other notable disaster films and discuss what makes them so great. So grab ...

Our new theme this round is 'The Ocean is Vast' and in this episode we will be discussing the 2012 film Kon-Tiki, where in 1947, with five loyal friends in tow, explorer Thor Heyerdahl sails a fragile balsa wood raft along an ancient path some 4,300 miles across the Pacific. The film is based on ...

Send a text Buon Giorno! Welcome to our inaugural listener's choice pick, which is exciting for us. It is a suggestion from loyal listener, two-time guest host, and very good friend Brian. He would like us to watch and review "Inglourious Basterds," a 2009 alternate history film set in Nazi occupied France, from one of the MRT crew's most unanimously loved directors, Quentin Tarantino. Starring.... so many fantastic actors: Brad Pitt, Christoph Walz, Michael Fass...

This Nicholas Roeg adaptation of a Daphne du Maurier short story stars Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie as grieving parents who are mourning the accidental drowning of their daughter.

Season 3: Year In Review

Send us a text Welcome to the end of Season 3! While we don't watch a movie this episode, we do go back and look at what we have seen over the past year, including our annual tradition of bestowing superlatives, as well as how our little podcast is growing and where people are listening. We also talk a little bit about we might have in store for Season 4. It was the best of films; it was the worst of films (and perhaps the weirdest as well)... and THAT is the beauty of Movie...

The Fall

2025/12/30

Send us a text We close out our final theme of the season with the 2008 film The Fall, about a young girl who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a movie stuntman recovering from a fall in a hospital in 1915 Los Angeles. Karl’s shakeup was that his pick had to include a fantasy element, and that comes into play as the stuntman tells the little girl a story about revenge, and her imagination fills in the details. The film was directed by Tarsem, who also directed some notable mu...

We continue to travel through the looking glass, this time with an unreliable narrator. And so we follow the travels of "Alice," a 1988 stop-motion film directed by our favorite Czech surrealist artist Jan Svankmajer, based on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, if Alice lived in an East European nation behind the Iron Curtain. We also explore ...

2025/12/16

Send us a text It's our final theme of the season! Things are about the get a little (or a lot) weird as we go 'Through the Looking Glass'. We'll be watching films that delve into alternative realities, parallel worlds, or mirror universes—where the line between reality and fantasy is blurred. First out of the rabbit hole is Gaspar Noé's Enter The Void from 2009. Starring nobody you've probably ever heard of, this film follows an American drug dealer living in Tokyo who is b...

Malpertuis

2025/12/09

Send us a text We close out our theme of “The Great Escape” with 1971’s Malpertuis (also known as The Legend of Doom House), a relatively obscure Belgian fantasy film about a sailor trapped in the mansion of his dying uncle (played by the legendary Orson Welles). The sailor and the fellow residents of the mansion are fighting for the uncle’s inheritance, and since Karl’s shakeup was that his pick must include a non human character, let’s just say the residents are not what they seem.

Send us a text Continuing on with our theme, we have one of the greatest escapes in literature! This week had to be a "period piece" and so we have chosen 2002's "The Count of Monte Cristo" starring Jim Caviezel, Guy Pearce and a very young Henry Cavill. One of many, many film adaptations of the classic Alexandre Dumas novel of the same name. We also wonder what happened to Guy Pearce, Rachael promotes classic literature, and we test our knowledge of post-Napoleonic French aristo...
