I Watch More Movies Than You
Hosted by Ken Palmer · EN
We review 3 movies every episode and we release weekly! New episode every Tuesday at 8am EST! One movie is a new theatrical release, one film is always a HORROR movie, and then the third is a classic movie deep dive! Oscar movies covered during Oscar season! Welcome to I WATCH MORE MOVIES THAN YOU , and please take that as a challenge. What else on earth can you spend 10 bucks and then leave the planet for 2 hours !? Only movies. Come join us as we experience, explore, and journey through the greatest art form in history.I run a movie theater, a film exhibitor if you will! And my cohost sells insurance (and a published author), but what separates us? WE WATCH MORE MOVIES THAN YOU! More than one a day, think you got us beat!? Doubtful. But we would love to have you come along as we journey throughout the greatest artform in history, cinema!We are going through the process of watching movies, discussing their ins, outs, themes, cinematography, directors, actors, how the film made us FEEL. And we are reading books on movie critique and review, while just laughing our way through the podcast and having a blast. So come and let's talk cinema together, and even grow and learn in our movie critique, discussion, and review repertoire. I truly believe deep diving into movies and reviewing films only creates a deeper fascination with this beautiful artform. This is a movie review podcast for the person searching for people that do not take themselves serious, enjoy laughing, comedy, self(cohost)-deprecating humor, and deep and fantastical movie discussions.Movies are magic, and they make up the very fabric of my DNA, so I would love the chance for you to come and nerd out with us as we watch as many as humanly possible and then talk about them- what's better than that!? That is how I'd like to spend my time on this rock.

Feb 22, 202501:29:01Tap to summarizeCinephiles, rebuke a life of zeroes and ones. What a time to be alive! From boutique blu-rays, to all of the publishers putting together collectable editions of your favorite films in VHS, DVDs, Blurays, and our beloved 4k UHD- we are eating! Nostalgia isn't just a river in Egypt, JT and I believe there is more at play here than merely missing the 90s with all of it's glamor and Blockbusters. We explore the importance of physical media in the age of streaming, talk about examples of movies that only exist in physical form, plus we list all of the advantages physical media has over it's digital counterparts- and it's just not quality! We also discuss what does it mean to truly own a movie, and how important tangibility is, plus the actual act of displaying a piece of yourself on the shelves to enjoy, for others to enjoy, and how special and communal the process is of physically selecting a film journey to embark on, not just scrolling the algo. We also list our TOP 10 Blurays, DVDs, VHS, and 4k UHD films, don't miss it! Also, if you are interested in starting to collect physical media, we discuss some of our favorite places to shop!

Transcribe →The American Pipe Dream: The Brutalist, Memoir of a Snail, Eraserhead
Jan 30, 202501:07:30Tap to summarizeBrady Corbet's 'The Brutalist' is up first as we explore the connective tissue throughout these three films, what if the American dream is rotten? Starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, and the always amazing Guy Pearce, we dive deep into a movie that is sure to create Oscar buzz as it competes for the 2025 Oscar's Best Picture! Do NOT miss this coming to America mini-epic (thanks Sean Fennessey from The Big Picture) that is in theaters, including IMAX, and available VOD now! The Brutalist (2024) is a film to be contended with for years to come, please give it a watch and us a listen and let's take a journey from war-torn Hungary, as the Third Reich marches and destroys, all the way to America as we examine what it means to come here to be free and if that promise is there for all. Up next, from the director of Mary and Max, we have Adam Elliot's 'Memoir of a Snail.' Another 97th Academy Award nominee, Best Animation, we have the latest installment in the moody stop-motion Claymation genre- and we are here for it! Memoir of a Snail will take you on a journey through a range of emotions ,tears of sadness, joy, the macabre, and the hopeful. Watch this picture, listen to us discuss, and please let us know in a hopeful 5-star review your thoughts on this artistic, dare we say.. masterpiece? Last but certainly not least, let's show more love and remembrance to the great auteur and artist, David Lynch! We dive deep into the nightmare of the surrealist madman himself in David Lynch's first feature length movie, 'Eraserhead' (1977)! Twin Peak's Jack Nance is our vehicle through the nightmarish anti-reality of this cold and disturbing world as we experience Lynch's most spiritual film ever, Eraserhead. We journey through this hellscape and try to decipher what this moving painting David Lynch felt compelled to share means to us. From the almost alien creature of a newborn, capturing the angst of new parenthood in such a beautiful and horrifying way, to the almost caricature and archetypal ladies that inhabit this hellish plane of (non)existence, we are given a truly dark and fantastically macabre fairy tale ripe for interpretation and amazement. Watch Eraserhead and listen to us discuss and even make some wild connections to Lynch's other work... the black lodge anyone?! We had a blast discussing these incredible and unique films, and hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did! Let's get weird! Please consider the amazing help of leaving a 5-star review and sharing our podcast with friends and thick mothers- we appreciate you more than you'll ever know! See you at the movies, freaks!
Transcribe →Our 2025 Oscar Best Picture Movies Discussion and Predictions for the 97th Academy Awards
Jan 23, 202500:58:19Tap to summarizeWe talk through all of the 2025 Oscars Best Picture nominees so you can be equipped this Oscar season! Award season for movies is in full swing, with the Golden Globes just wrapping and the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards up next and you're seeing the 97th Oscars nominations roll in- and let's be honest, it is all about that beautiful golden statue of that tiny man. We are talking about the OSCARS of course, the 97th Academy Awards that takes place March of this year! Plus, we honor the great David Lynch at the beginning of the episode. Bobby and I discuss the slate of movies that we believe will compete in the 2025 Oscar race for best picture, best director, and animated film category. We also discuss movies we believe are being overlooked this award season, The Beast (La bête) anyone!? We also discuss horror's place in the Oscars and if Coralie Fargeat's The Substance can make waves- if not in best picture, does Demi Moore have a shot at best actress at the 97th Oscars? From Sean Baker's 'Anora,' to 'The Brutalist,' from a couple of pictures on Netflix, 'Conclave' and 'Emilia Pérez' (over-performing or worth the hype?), the wrongly forgotten thus far this award season 'Dune 2: Part Two,' 'A Real Pain,' 'A Complete Unknown,' 'Wicked,' and many more- we talk through them all so if you're wanting to catch up this award season and be ready for all of the Oscar conversations, this is the episode for you! We also discuss the main main headlines heading into this year's Oscars and also talk through some potential dark horse films that could surprise at the 2025 Oscars aka the 97th Academy Awards. We don't spoil any of the films, so feel free to enjoy without concern! And I encourage you to pop in a David Lynch film this evening, or whenever you may be listening to this. We lost one of the greatest artists and filmmakers to ever walk this planet this past week, a man that created cinema for the weirdo and created a home for so many of us in Twin Peaks and the surreal. Lynch viewed the layers beneath every day life, showing that the juxtaposition to post-war Americana is as haunting as the war itself, and things simply aren't what they seem. Lynch was unflinchingly himself and his art thrived for it, a true one of one. Please consider leaving a 5-star review as we fight back against the algorithm after a long hiatus- but I promise you this, WE ARE BACK, BABY! If this is a dream, who's the dreamer?

Up next is a Stephen King tale, these are always our favorites- the remake of Salem's Lot which is now streaming on HBO Max and in theaters across the pond.

Transcribe →Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Oddity, and MEGALOPOLIS - Movie Review and Discussion
Oct 8, 202401:13:48Tap to summarizeBeetlejuice Beetlejuice, the HAUNTING indie horror film you CANNOT miss, ODDITY, and the incredible divisive film from American cinema godfather Francis Ford Coppola- Megalopolis! We journey through and discuss these three movies in depth and detail, and then battle it out in the court of public opinion on Megalopolis! And I mean battle, so come join us cinephiles and find out how awesome (or not) these three movies are, and listen in on the cinephile battle of the century- is 'Megalopolis' FFC's Mangum Opus, or a convoluted mess?! Come find out. Let's start of this spooky season with the return of Tim Burton and our favorite demon in 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!' Michael Keaton, Catherine O'Hara, Monica Bellucci, and Winona Ryder passing the horror girl deviant outsider baton to Jenna Ortega all come together in this legacy sequel to the infamous Beetlejuice of 1988! Does it work to recapture the amazing charm of the Hollywood outsider that is Tim Burton, or does the charm fall short and one too many stories are attempted to be woven to revitalize our favorite demon in hopes to offer him to the next generation?Horror fans!! This one is for you. Damian Mc Carthy's Oddity! Let me start by saying, go to Shudder right now (can find it on Amazon Prime subsection) and watch 'Oddity' and then come back and join in on our incredible journey through one of the highest caliber horror films of the past DECADE! Ya, I said it! Oddity oozes Irish folktale horror goodness, showing once again they have drinking and storytelling down to a science! Carolyn Bracken, Johnny French, and Steve Wall + the isolated Irish mansion all help to bring this dreadful story of a wooden man, a witch, a shop of haunted mysteries, and deception to live in a truly masterful genre film, an absolute stone cold horror classic in the making that we will have on rotation every Halloween from this point out! Come listen as to what makes this film so special! Last but certainly not least, American cinematic royalty Francis Ford Coppola just brought the world his passion project over 40 years in the making in the illustrious 'Megalopolis.' Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishburne and so, so many more stars come together to make this modern Roman epic a truly unforgettable piece of art- or do they!? My cohost and I literally BATTLE it out on our discussion of Megalopolis, from my defense of the performances as being Shakespearean operatic beats that his simple mind just refuses to grasp, to his overture that I am giving Coppola's self-financed last musings of a decaying genius, a madman at the end of his time way more credit that it deserves. Come listen to our dissents, a true battling it out of film bros on the titan's potential last hoorah of a passion project. Megalopolis is a lot of things, and one of those things is it occupies a place in film history that demands your viewing. Please do so and join us in our heated discussion of this play of caricatures in leu of characters, the bizarre in leu of reality, and try to find the crazy register that I believe Coppola intended- ride the ride that is MEGALOPOLIS and please leave us a 5-star review letting us know YOUR thoughts on this cinematic giant! MOVIES ARE BACK! But we argue they've never gone anywhere. If you feel the same way we do about CINEMA, please like and subscribe and come on this crazy journey through film with us! Plus, it's spooky season.. HORROR INCOMING! And remember, we watch way more movies than you. See you at the movies!

We battle it out over the solo MCU film of 2024, our beloved rated R superhero teams up with his real life friend in 4th wall breaking, non 4 quadrant, no stakes mashup of Reddit jokes and 2000s Marvel movie characters!

Let's also add the incredibly talented and next woman up, Maika Monroe, with the always amazing and underused Blair Underwood. Longlegs is the horror movie of the year, maybe the last five if you take into account the chokehold this horror flick has had on the internet and twitter / X the last few months. BUT... does 'Longlegs' live up to the immense hype?!We have a heated debating over Longlegs, with me coming to the defense of this potentially mis-marketed procedural of DREAD! Is it Seven and Silence of the Lamb's step-son? Or a swing and a miss? Come with us and let's take a journey to the man under the stairs and find out for ourselves. We spoil the movies in this episode. But we do so with a purpose! Because we dive DEEP into Longlegs and bring up some super cool things you may have missed, there is so much awesomeness going on in this film! Also, Osgood Perkins is the infamous son of Psycho star Anthony Perkins, but there is a lot more than meets the eye in his upbringing. We discuss how much of that made its way into this film, and we beg the question... how far would you go to protect your kid? Please consider leaving a 5-star review and comment because WE LOVE YOU! AND MOVIES! And we truly appreciate you and your time, and can't wait to watch more movies than you and with you! See ya people.
Transcribe →A Quiet Place: Day One, The Beast (2023), and Seconds (1966) Movie Review and Deep Dives
Jul 8, 202401:27:36Tap to summarizeFrom John Krasinski's rockstar directorial debut, A Quiet Place (2018), we had a new kind of horror born- blind aliens with super(alien) human hearing- high level concept, baby! We then had a sequel, and now we are given A Quiet Place: Day One by Michael Sarnoski (The Pig) and starring the always amazing Lupita Nyong'o, Stranger Thing's Joseph Quinn, and an amazing cat named Frodo! We talk through a quick and spoiler-free movie review that we hope you enjoy! What if David Lynch wrote and directed an adaptation of Bill Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? We may never have that answer, but we have an entry here that is just as powerful and out-there as that would be- Bertrand Bonello's The Beast. La bête in French, the film's native tongue. Starring potentially the greatest actress of all time, the haunting and wonderful Lea Seydoux, along side a tense and nearly magical performance turned in by George MacKay. 'The Beast' debuted in festivals in 2023, but truly got theatrical release and distribution in 2024, and you absolutely CANNOT miss this incredible film. Come along as we dive deep down into the wonderland of ghosts, fate, and time-travel in an absolutely unforgettable and suffocatingly unique movie.. The Beast aka La bête. Again, Léa Seydoux, you're sold? We finish the episode with a stone-cold classic you've probably never even heard of, the absolutely terrifying Seconds which came out in 1966 directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Frank Campanella, the always fantastic John Randolph.. and oh ya, ROCK HUDSON!! Horror fans, kino fans, old Hollywood fans, cinema lovers, do NOT let your life go by without watching and traveling to the black and white nightmare that is 'Seconds.' A little bit Twilight Zone, a bit of a cerebral dive into the American dream, but entirely human and soul-wrenching. Please listen join us as we adventure into the beautifully demented mind of Frankenheimer, the out-of-body performance by one of the greatest actors to ever grace Hollywood, Rock Hudson, and allow yourself introspection as you witness one of the most horrifying questions ever be asked and played out on your screen- What if it's all not enough? Seconds evocates an all too human feeling that we hide deeply buried in our souls, experience this film for yourself- we guarantee you won't leave it the same as you went into it. Seconds (1966) is what movies are all about, discover this gem. And for the real, real cinema & kino nerds, this is Frankenheimer's conclusion to his paranoia trilogy, and by far his most weird and amazing! Also, huge shout out to the Criterion Channel for the recommendation for Seconds! And, as always, we watch WAY more movies than you! See you people! If you love us like we love you, please consider sharing us with your amazing mothers and dropping a 5-star review! THANKS!
