We played a game on Streaming Things where we read Letterboxd reviews out loud and try to guess the movie. This one involves a scenic waterfall picnic, a man who supports fascism, and a review that genuinely asks whether a movie needs to be good if the characters are struggling…
We read Letterboxd reviews out loud and try to guess the movie. The first review is just a man asking repeatedly where David Bowie was. Pause and see if you can beat them to it! Full episode on Streaming Things wherever you listen to podcasts. #Letterboxd #GuessTheMovie #PansLabyrinth #GuillermoDelToro #MovieGame…
We read Letterboxd reviews out loud and try to guess the movie. This one opened with the most movie ever and introduced someone to the concept of escapism. See if you can beat them to it! Full episode on Streaming Things wherever you listen to podcasts. #Letterboxd #GuessTheMovie #SuckerPunch #ZackSnyder…
We read Letterboxd reviews out loud and try to guess the movie. The first review is just that the movie is not for British people. See if you can get it before they do! Full episode on Streaming Things wherever you listen to podcasts. #Letterboxd #GuessTheMovie #Moneyball #BradPitt #MovieGame #FilmTok…
We read Letterboxd reviews out loud and try to guess the movie. This round had a White Boy Summer clue, a review asking whether it was gay to look your bro in the eyes and say something we cannot repeat, and a quote about firing your gun in the air…
We read Letterboxd reviews out loud and try to guess the movie. This one started with genuinely deep questions about talent and suffering before pivoting hard to asking about a specific character's bald head and tight shirt. Full episode on Streaming Things wherever you listen to podcasts. #Letterboxd #GuessTheMovie #Whiplash…
We read Letterboxd reviews out loud and try to guess the movie. The first review mentioned a guy's girlfriend being openly attracted to both the killers and a title that is equally iconic. See if you can beat them to it. Full episode on Streaming Things wherever you listen to…
Kit and Steve bring in a special guest - Madison - to put their movie knowledge to the ultimate test. In Letterboxd Intimacy, the crew must guess the film using only real Letterboxd reviews as clues. Sound easy? Think again! Every wrong answer comes with a price: embarrassing, intimate questions…
The Tobey Maguire Spiderman movie has a short montage after Uncle Ben's death, Peter figuring things out, doing good for the city, becoming the hero. Then it just cuts to him being Spiderman. The entire Tom Holland trilogy is essentially that montage stretched across three films. No Way Home is…
The returning villains in No Way Home are not just cameos, they actually work as characters. But the dialogue written for them often undercuts everything. Alfred Molina's Doc Ock says "the power of the sun in the palm of my hand" so many times it stops meaning anything. We break…
When Andrew Garfield catches MJ and immediately starts crying, it is not just a great superhero moment, it is years of grief and guilt finally getting resolved on screen. He could not save Gwen. He saved her. The relief on his face says everything. We break down why this scene…
Tobey Maguire is not phoning it in and he is not doing anything technically wrong in No Way Home but there is just something about his brand of earnestness that reads slightly sideways. We break down the specific moment with Andrew Garfield that made it undeniable, why the Mary Jane…
While Peter and May are having a serious conversation in the foreground of No Way Home, Norman Osborn is blurry in the background discreetly sliding donuts into his pockets. We break down why this is one of the funniest background details in the entire MCU and what it says about…
Charlie Cox catching that brick in No Way Home was Marvel's official stamp on Daredevil being MCU canon, and audiences went completely insane for it. We break down why the moment hit so hard, the sad story of Charlie going incognito to a screening and getting zero reaction, and why…
Spiderman No Way Home grossed 1.9 billion dollars on a 200 million dollar budget, making it one of the highest grossing films of all time, without a Chinese release AND during a global pandemic. We break down just how extraordinary that box office run actually is. Catch the full episode…
Kit, Andy, and Steve wrap up their live action Spider-Man coverage with a review and recap of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). When Peter Parker's secret identity is exposed, a desperate plea to Doctor Strange goes wrong and tears open the multiverse, unleashing a rogues gallery of villains from across…
Spiderman Far From Home flirts with some genuinely dark ideas; mass surveillance, a teenager handed control of a weapons satellite, military propaganda baked into the MCU, and then refuses to reckon with any of it. We break down how close this movie came to saying something real, and why it…
The illusion sequences in Spiderman Far From Home are digitally overwhelming, but Jake Gyllenhaal makes you feel the stakes anyway. We break down why his menacing energy reads as real, why Peter getting thrashed through fake realities actually lands, and how getting hit by a train after all of that…
Jake Gyllenhaal is upper echelon talent and Spiderman Far From Home used every bit of it to make Mysterio's villain turn genuinely devastating. Even if you knew the comics, even if you clocked it coming the whole movie, you still did not want it to happen. We break down why…
Spiderman Far From Home has Peter suiting up pants first and that single detail sent us completely off the rails. Steve admitted he undresses like a toddler, a full Donald Duck situation was described in detail, and somehow we all ended up confessing our getting-undressed routines on a Marvel podcast.…
Spiderman Far From Home has two of the most consequential reveals in the entire MCU tucked away after the credits roll. Nick Fury being a Skrull the whole time and Mysterio outing Peter Parker as Spider-Man to the entire world should both be in the actual movie. We break down…
The EDITH glasses in Spider-Man Far From Home are one of the most ridiculous plot devices in MCU history when you stop and think about it. Tony Stark left a teenager access to a global weapons system and the movie just moves past it. We break it all down, debate…
The roof collapse scene in Spiderman Homecoming is one of the most emotionally raw moments in the entire MCU. Tom Holland strips away every bit of superhero armor and just becomes a terrified kid screaming for help. We break down why superhero panic crying is so rare, why masculinity norms…
