Let's Watch Something!

Wow, these movies are mediocre, but the second one is EVEN MORE mediocre! 

Part two of our Pride month celebration talkin' bout GAY PIRATES!!!

Happy Pride Month from LWS! Our way of celebrating is with GAY PIRATES!

The much hyped, anticipated and entirely too late adaptations of the 90s phenomenon Goosebumps by R. L. Stine. The books themselves had no arcing story line, so the movie opts to tell a fictional story of the real R. L. Stine, played by Jack Black and some minors who have to stop his monsters who have come to life for some reason.

In this week's episode Anthony and Jac visit the 2001 classic (if you ask a 90s kid) Spy Kids! We discuss younglings doing things and childhood trauma.

Tom Hanks stars in Seven Spielberg's 2004 movie the Terminal. An Eastern European man, during a time of war in his country is stranded in the New York airport terminal. Unable to return home or step out onto US soil.

The latest Disney/Pixar film tackles themes of generational trauma, everybody's favorite!

Two years ago Let's Watch Something watched a movie that changed Anthony forever. For our anniversary we revisit that movie now that Anthony has redefined his gender.

This week we visit one of the biggest letdowns of the 2010s. Following the success of the Avengers franchise, Zack Snyder decides to fuck it up by rushing a conflict between two characters that hadn't existed on screen together (in live action) before!

2021 saw endless delays, but we did FINALLY get the long awaited followup to 2016's Ghostbusters with Kristen Wig, Melissa McCarthy and Kate McKinnon featuring cameos from the minor characters played by Daniel Aykroyd, William Murray and Ernie Hudson I guess.

John Krasinski, of The Office fame, directs and stars in a horror movie from 2018 that includes everyone's favorite things: Post apocalyptic settings, mysterious monsters with no explanation, family drama and awkward quiet sex(?) in what turns out to be a surprisingly divisive take on a monster movie.

Welcome to a filler episode! This is Anthony solo talking about two separate works that deal with isolation, depression and anxiety. Next week we should be back to business  as usual.

Hey friends. Sorry no new episode this week. It's been a rough couple of weeks recovering from the holidays. Please enjoy this hand picked episode to a classic LWS episode from 2020 in the mean time!

One of Kevin Smith's greatest and most controversial films!

The height of Adam Sandler's career, and, unfortunately, the peak of his comedy.

Happy New Year

Merry  Christmas y'all! This week we took a look at a modern classic, 1994'a The Santa Clause starring Jim Allen of Home Improv.

May the Force be with you! On this, the final episode of our annual Star Wars Let's Watch Something Christmas Special we say goodbye to the original trilogy. It ends on a high note wit Ewoks and such. Yub Nub bitches!

Part 2 of the Let's Watch Something Christmas Special where we watch Star Wars for all of December! This week is Episode V The Empire Strikes Back!

We are starting our second annual Let's Watch Something Star Wars Christmas Special with the WORST Star Wars Movie! Fight me!

Here is a fun little bonus! Last year we did Star Wars Episodes I-III during December. This year we are doing it again with IV-VI, but first you can binge all three of those episodes right here all at once!

It's late, I'll write a description later...

The early 2000s teen drama/comedy played a large part in growing up for many. How well does this memeable move stand after 17 years?

Flashing back to the era of early 2000s eras action films, the Matrix feels like the primordial action movie with fancy stunts and a techno soundtrack. However, Blade came a full year before it! Staring the tax evading Wesley Snipes!

One of the most formative action film's ever made, 1999's The Matrix directed by the trans femme duo Lana and Lilly Wachowski. Allegorical for transgender and trans identity or about sheep that need to wake up EUGHH! I can't even pretend to do this shit. It's a bad ass action movie made by two bad ass trans women!

Jactober winds down on what was a surprisingly high note. Professional party pooper Anthony had assumptions about the crow that made an ASS of them today! Because holy guacamole the Crow is an amazing movie!

Episode number 69 (NICE) is HERE! Also Jac's birthday but SIXTY NINE! We are celebrating all things freaky and goth with the most important movie to any weirdo, Rocky Horror! The cult classic https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episodesof all classics staring the LEGENDARY Tim Curry in FISHNETS AHHHHH!

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star in the first of the unofficial Cornetto Trilogy, Shaun of the Dead. Horror Spoof Comedy? Or just a damn good movie overall?

Welcome to our second annual Jactober! The spoopy month of Spooky Scary Skeletons is here! The month for the freaks, geeks and goths to let their freak flag FLY!

We visit the 1995 movie The Craft! Witches and spells and consequences of my!

Don't mind the gap! We had some sickness running abound and took a weekish off. We are back with another LGBTQ movie in But I'm a Cheerleader. How can a movie manage about gay conversion therapy be CAMPY?!?

A simpler time, the beginning of the global pandemic and 3 weeks to stop the spread. Welp... Here we are, a year and a half later and people don't like to be told what to do and 600,000 Americans are dead. Wow, that got political, huh? Here's Sonic the Hedgehog.

It's been a tough week so taking it easy with the bestest Marvel movie ever made y'all!

The 1982 classic and influential horror movie becomes divisive when it comes to Let's Watch Something. Kurt Russel and diabetus man in a movie with moist dogs.

Back at it again in the MCU with Marvel's Thor 2. the worst one. Fight me! Also Loki just wrapped up, that was pretty darn good right?

A 2001 screwball comedy, in the era of American Pie and Scary Movie, from the director of Ghostbusters! How could it fail? As usual, sexism is the answer.

The 90s were a weird time, however between the vaporwave and grunge, we got a spectacular entry in the science fiction genre starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in 1997's Men in Black! 

UUUUUUGGGGHHHH I GUESS...

Certified WATCH IT! SLC Punk is a formative film for both Anthony and Jac, see if it's something that speaks to your heart in this episode of Let's Watch Something!

Back at it again at the MCU! Iron Man 3 had mixed reviews upon release, but how does it hold up now that the full arc has reached its end?

Hamlet 2 is a parody of a tragedy, following a washed up actor turned acting teacher.

Are y'all ready for this? Buh nuh nuh nuh nuh Nuh nuh nuh Nuh nuh Nuh nuh NUH!

We're closing Pride month with a divisive but sentimental movie (for Anthony) so get ready to know more about him than you hoped to know. Rent for a time was the biggest musical, but has become a little outdated, but it still has some messages that hold up.

We are celebrating pride month by talking talking candidly with Jac about being nonbinary, asking Anthony if he's gay, and talking about cats.

We continue Pride month with another classic, this one stars Robin Williams and Nathan Lane as the gayest gay couple to ever gay!

Way back in the long, long ago of 2016, Ghostubster was released to mixed reviews. Mixed as in some people thought it was alright, and some others hated the fact it even existed. Like real low life, woman-hating man babies thought that Greta Thunberg was going to break into their homes and destroy their Ghostbusters DVDs and draw boobs on their Bill Murray posters and slip a blu-ray of Magic Mike under their wives' pillows so they would know how a man is supposed to look. Anyway, we watched that and talked about it for a long time!

Many ups and downs have lead us to this moment, the 50th episode of Let's Watch Something! We are excited to reflect on some of our favorite moments as well as contemplate the future of the podcast.

Now this is Kaiju fighting! Pacific Rim starts to feel like a wannabe Power Rangers/Godzilla hybrid. How does it hold up on its own though? This episode brought to you by playing music slowed down on a record player.

The most ambitious crossover event (at the time) and we spend like half the episode petting the cat.
