this movie is...

This episode we will be discussing "Don't Look Up", a new star-studded flick which chronicles the reactions of America when a deadly comment is plummeting towards earth. Tommy and Emily had rather different opinions on the quality of this movie as per usual, but this time it seems Emily was almost able to sway him… What do you think? Tommy expresses his disdain for Jennifer Lawrence, surprise surprise; whilst Emily gushes over two of her favourite actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill.

In this episode we discuss the 2020 film Greenland, starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin, which follows a family trying to survive a planet eviscerating comet. As per usual we put ourselves in the world of the film and ponder how we'd handle an extinction level comet colliding with earth. Is saving yourself even possible, or should you just ring in the apocalypse with drinking and dancing?  Listen to find out.

Today Emily and Tommy engage in some discussion inspired from having previously watched "Last Action Hero", in which Arnold Schwarzenegger's Jack Slater character was eventually brought into that film's real world.  We wondered which movie character would we bring into our real world if given the chance, and asked our listeners to chime in via the thismovieis Instagram with their responses.  Who has the best answer?  It's not a competition, but there is a clear winner.

Celebrities. Sometimes, we love to hate them. This is (almost) one of those times. In today’s episode Tommy and Emily discuss the celebrities we don’t care for. Do we hate them? No. Do we care about them in any way? No. Some would call this episode “All Jennifer’s Are Average”, “Mark Ruffalo is a little bitch”, or even “I understand why Brad Pitt left her.” Listen for yourself and tell us, do you agree with our points??? Which celebrities do you not care for? Happy listening!! (And sorry Jen if you’re out there)

What’s better than one Will Smith? Two! Right? What are the moral ethics surrounding cloning? Is the plot of an action movie important?

Let’s find out as we dive into Gemini Man starring, you guessed it, Will Smith alongside Clive Owen and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (whom Tommy refers to as MEW).

G’day fellow movie lovers! In this edition of the thismovieis podcast Tommy and Emily discuss Disney Pixar’s newest film ‘Onward.’ We realized that we’ve never really discussed a kids movie before and wondered if our polarizing opinions would translate to non-controversial and non-adult based content. Can we get into an argument about a family film?

This fantasy film takes place in a world where magic is present in every day life but not exciting or valued. We set ourselves a challenge whilst recording this episode to stay “family friendly” and limit our F-Bombs, and the rest. Listen through and see how we manage... or not...

G'day fellow movie lovers. Today we have a bit of a TBT as we unearth an unreleased podcast from 2018 discussing “The Shape Of Water” in the days leading up to it's big night at the Oscars.  Emily is quite fond of this movie and the way it makes her heart feel, whereas Tommy, surprise, surprise, wasn’t as impressed.  We discuss what makes an evil character? Do plot holes mean a movie can’t be enjoyable? And how can you really trust the narrative you are being delivered on screen if don’t see the whole story? Enjoy!

What’s up guys! If you like guns, action movies, or Chris Hemsworth you may have seen EXTRACTION (2020) on Netflix. In one of our most polarizing discussions yet, we discuss our opinions on this new movie - no holding back!
