LET’S-A-GO! The master of the voicemails, Jeff from The Love of Cinema Pod, is HERE IN THE BUILDING to discuss the new Super Mario Bros. movie with us! This thing’s a box office juggernaut that almost defies any sort of film criticism, but we try to drunkenly have a discussion about it anyways. Did we enjoy ourselves? Did we like all the Nintendo Easter eggs? Did Chris Pratt’s accent annoy us? You’ll have to blow in our NES cartridge to find out! Along the way, we discuss the Dalai Lama (yikes...

You’ve rolled a 20 on the podcast dice, friends, because you’ve got… THE MATT AND MARK MOVIE SHOW! Joining our quest to review Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is friend-of-the-show and Chaos Tamer, Patrick M.! Go give him a follow on Instagram and Letterboxd. Along the way, we discuss the whole Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro drama, praise Hugh Grant’s second life as a movie villain, and quote the true-true about Cloud Atlas, those cast thank you messages before the movie that make you f...

After last week’s mega recap of the John Wick series, Mark and I return to talk all things Baba Yaga once more — this time, for his latest outing, John Wick: Chapter 4. Did Chad Stahelski redeem himself after the ending hijinks of Part 3? Who wields a pencil better: John Wick or Donnie Yen? And how many stairs are too many stairs for Mark in an action sequence? All this, plus some talk about Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale and why it makes us so damn hungry — this week, on The Matt and Mark Movie ...

This week, BABA YAGA invades the podcast! That’s right, pack your bags for The Continental because we’re getting prepped for John Wick’s newest chapter with a retrospective of his first three butt-kicking movies. Can Keanu do no wrong? Why, in a civilization of assassins, would you choose to be a homeless guy assassin and not a rich guy assassin? And what’s better in a fight: pencil, belt, or horse? All of this and more as we deep dive in to the game-changing trilogy that changed the face of mod...

SPOILERS ABOUND FROM MINUTE 1. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Like Jason Voorhees taking Manhattan, our buddy Tommy Nuggetz takes our show by storm with a machete in one hand and a voice changer in the other. Why? To help us review SCREAM VI, of course! It’s a Ghostface-a-palooza in this episode as we review the new movie, discuss theories for the future of the franchise, and reveal our personal Scream rankings. Along the way, we also ponder what our first cinematic boobs were, praise Tom Cruise’s pers...

A cocaine bear is only like the third or fourth craziest thing we hit for our big 100th episode celebration. What do we mean? Well… Mark finally meets Jeff and Dave from The Love of Cinema, Matt relives his very Rated-R childhood, we play tons of great messages from our friends and listeners, and we bring back Get Rec’d for a special old school experience! If you haven’t subscribed to our Patreon yet (https://www.patreon.com/TheMattandMarkMovieShow), you already know why this a huge deal. The R...

Two benchmarks: we are rapidly approaching our 100th episode and the MCU is kicking off Phase Five. Those are equally as important, right? (By the way, if you want to be part of our special 100th episode next week, feel free to email us, leave us a voicemail, or DM us on the socials, and we’ll throw you in! Okay, back to the show notes…) Joining us to kick off this new Marvel phase are our friends from The Underrated Podcast: Derick, Alan, and Ariel. They’re Marvel experts and Matt…well, isn’t...

Back to bizness! This week, Mark and I confront the viral horror sensation, SKINAMARINK… and we hold nothing back. It’s not exactly a movie you can spoil, but we do pretty much walk through the entire thing with no filter, so you’ve been warned. The review begins around 23:35 if you want to skip right to it, but you’ll miss our reactions to The Flash trailer and the return of Michael Keaton’s Batman, some Scream VI talk, and a romantic cooking lesson just in time for Valentine’s Day. Support o...

A little special bonus for you… Nerds that we are, we went to Disneyland and visited Galaxy’s Edge, Avengers Campus, Cars Land, and more — and we decided to podcast about it. Hear us talk all about Rise of the Resistance, Spider-Man: Web Slingers, Radiator Springs Racers, all that beignet sugar-dusted good stuff. Joining me for this special Trip Report is our own Producer in the Booth. Back to our regularly scheduled programming next week! Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/...

This week, we’re headed back to 1994 for a RETRO REVIEW of the Ice-T actioner “Surviving the Game.” That review begins around 22:55 if you want to skip ahead, but you’ll miss Disneyland talk, some inappropriate jokes about The Fabelmans and Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, and our big announcement… WE HAVE BEGUN A PATREON! Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMattandMarkMovieShow Visit our Linktree for more ways you can connect with us and connect with our show! Ins...

This week, our space gets properly invaded by friend-of-the-show Dave from The Love of Cinema podcast! He’s here to help us review KIDS VS ALIENS, the new potty-mouthed sci-fi romp from writer/director Jason Eisener (of Hobo with a Shotgun fame). Do these aliens pass the vibe check? They certainly look like thirst traps with those curvy alien bums. Along the way, we also heap praise on the late great Rutger Hauer, watch Baraka’s fatalities from Mortal Kombat 11, and make a shocking TV discovery ...

This week, we grab our lanterns and top hats and venture into the foggy atmosphere of new gothic horror… with the grisly Edgar Allen Poe murder mystery, The Pale Blue Eye. Joining us is special guest Kevin from The Reel for Real podcast! In addition to discussing the film and its writer/director Scott Cooper, we also play a who’s who game of “Guess That Random British Actor,” divulge our definitive Friday the 13th rankings, and continue the saga of voicemails from our buddy Jeff over at The Love...

Two episodes in one week? BELIEVE IT. It’s a full-on Get Rec’d special, featuring our buddy Tommy Nuggetz. Join us as we spotlight some quality rec’s to raise your spirits during this dreary January – from cult classics like 1995’s Strange Days, to Cannon Films’ runaway smash hit Runaway Train, and unseen action gems like Albert Pyun’s Nemesis, and everything in between. Along the way, we also do some Joe Pesci impressions, smack-talk Avatar: The Way of Water, and finally unearth the Driller Kil...

Is it pronounced “meeegan?” “Megggan?” Or “Me-three-gan?” Helping me get to the bottom of this is guest co-host Tommy Nuggetz. Join us as we review the joint Blumhouse and Atomic Monster joint, M3GAN. How does the doll-faced TikTok killer robot stand up to Chucky’s and Terminator’s of the world? We discuss that and more, including all of the insane physical media sales from boutique labels the past few weeks. What we don’t discuss… Rec’s! GASP. Keep your shorts on. That’s coming in a few days ...

This is it… our 2022 finale episode. Did the movie-going year wrap up with a big bow, or leave us with a big ol’ lump of coal? We name our Favorite Films, our Biggest Disappointments, Favorite Trailers, Guiltiest Pleasure Movies, and more! Will we be naughty? Or nice? We do all of this after our foolish attempts to review 1997’s Jack Frost, the mutant killer snowman movie, which left us feeling like it’s maybe a Blue Christmas after all. We also chat Takis, ponder what we would do with Batman’...

SEASON’S BEATINGS! We’re watching the new rated-R Santa movie, Violent Night — a fun throwback to the action movies of our youth, but wrapped up in a big bow. That’s not all! We also discuss what format we’re watching Avatar: The Way of Water in, we debate New York pizza vs California pizza, and Matt gives his thoughts on the new Willow TV series from Disney+ and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. We also avoid “The Bumble” (if you know, you know) and talk a bunch of crap about someone you all kno...

It’s the holidays again, which means it’s time for our yearly pod tradition of doing a GRAB BAG EPISODE! You know the drill: we play the nostalgic commercials of yesteryear, and watch alternative holiday movies with a unifying theme. The theme this year: HOLIDAY HORROR! Our double bill review includes the Finnish evil Santa movie, Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale, as well as the naughty holiday slasher, Better Watch Out! Join us as we discuss these films, pitch our Santas in prison movie, and re...

Before we all gorge ourselves on turkey, we’re serving up a heapin’ helpin’ of Rec’s fresh from the oven for you! So grab your bibs, your mom’s gravy boats, and your loosest pants, because we’re chatting 20-plus movies in this superstuffed Turkey Day special episode. We’re talking Terrifier 2, Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and tons more pulp genre gems from the 80s, 90s, and 00s for you to feast your eyes on! Let’s STUFF OURSELVES… with movies! Now, pas...

It’s been kinda spooky, if you think about it… but the time has come for our 2022 Spoopy season to come to an end with a Halloween special that’ll put the silver right in your shamrock. That’s right, we’re reviewing the cult classic, Halloween III: Season of the Witch! Is 1982 truly the best year ever in cinema? Does Tom Atkins have the most “game” of any main character in a horror movie, like, ever? What’s up with that random German lady robot? And how many times can two grown men karaoke the S...

SPOILERS ABOUND FROM MINUTE 1. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Spoopy season raises the roof for our second BIRTHDAY SPOOK-TACULAR! That’s right, we’re celebrating Mark’s birthday this episode with one of his favorite things: the DCEU… and the big screen debut of Black Adam! Helping us review this anti-hero epic is friend of the show, Mister Suspicious. Join us as we discover the unholy existence of a combination Taco Bell and Long John Silver’s, ponder whether or not Dwayne Johnson is a closet Smashing...

While Mark’s away, we’ve summoned two frightfully fun guests to take his place this week: Derick from The Underrated Podcast and Joel from I’d Like a Refund! They’re here to help me review Marvel’s Special Presentation… WEREWOLF BY NIGHT. The review happens around 23 minutes in, but if you skip ahead to that, you’ll miss a scary-good conversation about Halloween candy, special limited edition snack foods, a terrifying Snickers ad that haunted our youth, and other tasty ways to raise your cholest...

That’s right! As a nifty little bonus, we decided to release this spoopy mini episode! Pain? Pleasure? Or podcast? In exactly 60 minutes (which is a record for us in the speed department; you know we like to usually take our time around here), we review Hulu’s 2022 re-imagining of Hellraiser, directed by horror auteur David Bruckner. Despite being an audio only pod, we’ll take a page out of the OG Pinhead’s playbook and tell you: “we have such sights to show you.” Plus… we talk Cenobites, the ...

Come through the fog with us, boils and ghouls, as we break down our full walkthrough experience at Halloween Horror Nights 31 in Orlando. Hear us recount the petrifying play-by-play of the entire night: surviving all ten haunted houses, exploring all five scare zones, and holding our noses through all three days of straight-up farting in our hotel room. Hear all about our chilling encounters with Michael Myers in Halloween, the monsters of Hellblock Horror, the flapper witches of Spirits of th...

Spoopy season raises the roof for a special BIRTHDAY SPOOK-TACULAR! That’s right, we’ve got a lot to celebrate this week. Matt turns 39 and Poltergeist turns 40! Join us as we learn how to correctly pronounce Tobe Hooper’s name, debate whether or not this is actually a secret Spielberg movie (uh, IT IS.), and of course, enjoy listening to all of your birthday messages and comments. Big thanks to all of our friends who helped make this day so memorable. And big thanks to the Street Sharks for al...
