Joining us is friend-of-the-show Derick McDuff from the Underrated Movie Podcast.

LIVE from the back of Mark’s rental car, it’s… THE MATT AND MARK HORROR SHOW! Join us as we say goodbye to the Warrens with a full SPOILER review of the record-breaking horror blockbuster, The Conjuring: Last Rites. We deep dive into spoiler talk on the film as we attempt to answer questions like: why is there a giant Annabelle? How many Conjuring cameos can you spot? And who voted to have John Wayne replace The Nun? HUH? If you want to cut right to The Conjuring: Last Rites review, you can sc...

We went viral… and it’s all thanks to Ice Cube’s crappy new movie. Hear us talk all about how the star of Amazon’s zoom call, War of the Worlds, helped us take over Instagram! Plus, special guest Tommy Nuggetz joins us to review Zach Cregger’s horror hit, Weapons.

JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE comes to a thrilling end this week! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’ve been chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. And that movie, this week, is TENTACLES – an overly-dubbed Italian production about the world’s biggest lil’ killer octopus. We’re joined by friend-of-the-show Dave who was kind enough to play along and complete our Love of Cinema hat trick. We discuss the film’s “qualit...

JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE continues! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’re chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. Joining us this week are TWO very special guests: John Say AND Dasein from The Love of Cinema Podcast! These cinema-loving bros are here to help us BRODOWN about Joe Dante’s PIRANHA. Or Pirañha, if you’re feeling zesty. How do these little mutated sawed-off sea jerks stand up to the Great Whites and...

MOVIES THAT MAKE SHARK WEEK LOOK LIKE SHART WEEK. Welcome to the official start of… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’re chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. This week, we review ORCA, the movie that pits a young Dumblebore against the undisputed king of the waters, the killer whale. Ever thought you’d see a killer whale blow up an oil refinery? Well, you will! You’ll also hear Ric...

A little bonus bite for… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! Before we go deep-sea diving for the crap, let’s go back to the big fish that started it all.

Hint: it’s not the one you think! See you next week for the official start of Jaws Knockoffs June… ORCA: The Killer Whale! FIN. Wanna be on the show? Call us and leav...

MOVIES THAT MAKE SHARK WEEK LOOK LIKE SHART WEEK. Welcome to our second themed month… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! In honor of Jaws’ 50th anniversary, we’re chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark’s legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. And to kick off this Jaws-some month, we’re pre-gaming with a movie that’s not a Jaws knockoff at all… FREE WILLY, with special guest co-host, Jeff from The Love of Cinema Podcast. That’s right, he leapt out of the voicemail...

It’s an allergy episode. I’m sorry I sound like Rudolph in the 1964 Christmas special where he has to wear a fake nose. It’s not all bad though… Jeff graced us with another legendary Jeff voicemail! Plus, we talk movie news about that huge Kung Fury leak, and we discuss a bunch of stuff we’ve been watching, like A24’s WARFARE, Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts (I’m not putting that stupid asterisk), Death of a Unicorn, and more. If you want to get right to the movie talk, you can scrub ahead to 43:...

Until Dawn is a popular horror videogame that everyone seems to love with a movie that no one seems to be watching. Why??? Join us for this Matt and Mark Super Informative Investigate Report… for Dummies. We review this new horror film from the director of Lights Out and the Shazam movies that stars character actor darling, Peter Stormare. We praise its craft, inventive storytelling, and physical FX work that leaves little to the imagination. (So, Horror Hounds, you’re eating good this week.) ...

This is one of them FREAKY TALES. The directing team behind Captain Marvel (yep) returns from director jail with a retro anthology movie called FREAKY TALES, and since Matt is only human and likes cool poster art, he dove at the chance to review this little oddity of a movie. What do Pedro Pascal, an axe, green lightning, Blade, and the rapper Too Short have in common? We don’t know. We’re not sure this movie knows either. But hey guys, it’s the 80s! That’s what matters, right? RIGHT???? Alon...

Holy crap, how long’s it been?! The Matt and Mark Movie Show returns from a long pod break to watch Jason Statham punch, kick, and kill stuff. Yes, we’re reviewing A WORKING MAN, a movie you had no idea was written by Sylvester Stallone. Believe it. Along the way, we question some of the movie’s logic, try to understand Statham’s living situation, and play predictions about whether or not we actually liked this movie. Where does it stand on Matt’s Non-Stop Statham list? Listen in to find out! ...

We interrupt our April break to bring you a brand new episode… from the past! Dun dun dunnnn… Yes, while we’re on the road, we’re opening the Matt and Mark vault to give you an episode that most of you have never heard before, and trust us, it’s a doozy! Strap in for wild Retro Reviews of ALTERED STATES from 1980 and SURF NINJAS from 1993. We even squeeze in some MADAME WEB talk. Why? Why the hell not. What ridiculous caveman scene made Matt giddy? Why do we love Surf Ninjas so much? And will ...

Why is the Invisible Man such a jerk in all his movies? How many techs did it take to animate Kevin Bacon’s invisible dong? And what does this movie have to do with why Matt hates Olive Garden? We discuss all of this and more in this week’s HOLLOW MAN episode — our second entry into our unofficial Invisible Man movie miniseries. You know we love Paul Verhoeven so we were stoked to review another one of his movies on the pod. We do impressions of the man, but we have a deep, deep respect for him...

Bong Joon-Ho spent hundreds of millions of Warner Bros’ money on a very expensive movie about clones. Let’s discuss it! Joining us this week is friend-of-the-show and fellow physical media guy, Kevin from The Reel for Real. Go give him a follow and check out his reviews. We go into full-on spoilers for Mickey 17 — you’ve been warned. Along the way, we discuss the rarity of seeing something so strange getting such a ginormous budget, try to figure out what the hell Mark Ruffalo is doing, and la...

It’s the movie that nearly ended John Carpenter’s career! Come back with us to 1992, as we discuss Memoirs of an Invisible Man, the monster movie flop that starred one of Hollywood’s most legendary jerks, Chevy Chase. Join us as we delve into the film and try to decide which SNL character is a dead ringer for Chevy in this movie. We also discover this film’s strange connection to Halloween III: Season of the Witch, as well as some behind-the-scenes drama involving its stars. Oh, and Matt won’...

BILLY ZANE-UARY goes out with a BANG, as we review one of the few action-packed films in Billy Zane’s filmography… SNIPER. We discuss the film’s unusual approach to action, its ten (!) direct-to-video sequels, the gravely performance of Tom Berenger, and where it falls on our all-time list of sniper films. If you want to get right to the main Sniper review, scrub ahead to 13:59 … but just know, you’ll miss some important stuff about the new Orange Cream flavor of Coke, Matt’s Sharon Stone stor...

BILLY ZANE-UARY heads out to sea… with the aquatic thriller, DEAD CALM, from 1989. For Those Who Came In Late, we’re doing a month-long celebration of one of our best and BALDEST actors, Mr. Billy Zane. And this week, we’re joined by another Zane-iac — friend-of-the-show, Tommy Nuggetz. Give him a follow and show him some love on the socials. What happens when you’re in the middle of the ocean and Billy Zane rows up to your boat? Well, young Nicole Kidman and Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park ...

BILLY ZANE-UARY continues! For Those Who Came In Late, we’re doing a month-long celebration of one of our best and BALDEST actors, Mr. Billy Zane. And this week, we’re reviewing one of his biggest and most villainous roles ever in… Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight. The Cryptkeeper goes Hollywood and takes Billy Zane along for the ride.

“FOR THOSE WHO CAME IN LATE…” Welcome to our first ever themed month… BILLY ZANE-UARY! A mini-series celebration of one of our best and BALDEST actors. And to kick off this Zane-y stunt, we’re reviewing one of Billy’s classic roles as the ghost who walks… AKA… THE PHANTOM. Did Black Panther borrow a ton from this movie and just not tell anyone? We think so. We also think it has some not-so-nice things to say about the Indiana Jones franchise. We had plenty to discuss this episode, including: ...

Last week it was a Wolf Man with male pattern baldness, and this week it’s Mark Wahlberg with male pattern baldness. Yep, we’re talking FLIGHT RISK, the new thriller directed by controversial filmmaker, Mel Gibson. Speaking of shit-stirring controversy, Matt caused quite a stir at his local theater this past weekend and recounts his harrowing ordeal in great detail. It involves a bathroom. Need we say more?
