We have another really fun one on our hands. This ends up being a 2 for 1 review.

We can't be more excited to review our first Nick Charles.... err, no... correction... Philo Vance film. The Kennel Murder Case. We rather adore murder mysteries and this is one of the primordial offerings. There is so much to enjoy here, but falls just sort because right around the corner was the s...

New episode alert! Yeah, we didn't exactly do a holiday episode this year. Went with a stone-cold classic instead.

Buckle up folks, you're in for a LOT of gushing here. This movie is a stone cold classic from an all too overlooked master... John Frankenheimer. There are some real titans involved with this movie including Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Fredric March, Ava Gardner, Rod Serling and throw Jerry Goldsm...

Sexy and cool, but good?

As a bonus, we discover the hidden stars of the TCMC.

This is another one of those episodes were we selected an iconic movie, but try to assess if it really deserves that status. Did it stand the test of time? I'm certainly willing to say it is one of the cooler and/or sexier movies we've taken on so far. Let us know what you think. As a bonus, we try....

Team Karswell!

This could be another perfect example of the goal of this podcast. We were vaguely aware of this film existing, but we had completely incorrect assumptions about it. Diving in with this format showed how awesome and unexpected this experience ended up being. This was a fun one. Go team Karswell.

The September release is getting in just under the wire! What a relief. Now I feel like I can let myself go.

We were certainly overdue for a musical on the show. We finally broke that streak with a couple legends in Astaire and Rogers. I can say all the numbers were certainly memorable... for one reason or another. Be sure to stick around for the controversial movie selection for next month!

New epi!

https://anchor.fm/tcmchallengepodcast/episodes/E15---Wait-Until-Dark-1967-e1n4vm2

We keep checking off some biggies on this show. This is certainly up there. Wait Until Dark is heavily represented in best of lists out there. One of the scariest movies ever. One of the most suspenseful. And so on. Does it deserve it? Does it stand the test of time? Tune in and find out. Spoilers.....

New episode alert! NEW KUBRICK EPISODE ALERT!

https://anchor.fm/tcmchallengepodcast/episodes/E14---Lo**ta-1962-e1lpkrh

While this might not be the highest profile movie we've covered, this might be the most important for us. We dive into the wonderful world of Kubrick. With a filmography that has a controversial title or two, where does this 60s movie stack up? You also get a bonus book podcast review as well. Yes,....

New episode drop! Matt and Matt return to our favorite environment... space! Does this thriller stand the test of time???

https://anchor.fm/tcmchallengepodcast/episodes/E13---Marooned-1969-e1kirf1

So, you think you're a fan of Apollo 13? The Martian? Gravity? Well, have you checked out the movie that predicted or inspired the others? That would be 1969's Marooned. Does the all star cast, a big of a legend director, and an thrilling premise stand the test of time???? Tune in to find out.

There is treasure under those trees. I'm sure if it.

One year in the books!

https://anchor.fm/tcmchallengepodcast/episodes/E12---The-Year-of-Living-Dangerously-1982-e1j76cs

Now this was a fun one. Young Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver star in this romantic slash war slash drama film that was kind of shot on location that adds such character and atmosphere. Presented more than capably by an under rated director, Peter Weir. Not to mention, all that is wildly overshadowe...

22/04/2022

Our new episode is dropping a little earlier than normal! It is a very unique fun one.

https://anchor.fm/tcmchallengepodcast/episodes/E11---As-The-Earth-Turns-1937-or-1938-or-2019-e1hgjvb

This one sure is unique. It could be a bit of a stretch to call this a feature film and it stretches the format of the show a little bit, but I think it was worth it. We visit one of the earliest independent movie out there, and one that happened to have been lost for ages. It sure was charming and....

🥺

Iconic French actor Alain Delon has decided to resort to euthanasia in the near future and asked his son, Anthony Delon, to accompany him to the end.

28/03/2022

This month we review another biggie while being joined by our friends from The Plus Platoon: a Disney+ Fan Podcast

Be sure to check out our guest appearance on their show!

https://anchor.fm/tcmchallengepodcast/episodes/E10---Tootsie-1982-e1gcpn1

This month we review AFI's 69th greatest film of all time (nice), Tootsie! We discuss if it deserves that accolade, is it appropriate to even call it a comedy, and whether we think it is "problematic" given the 2022 lens or is still a harmless farce. We also had the great honor of being joined by so...

28/02/2022

We're getting in just under the wire with this big release. Just look at that man.

https://anchor.fm/tcmchallengepodcast/episodes/E09---Blood-Simple-1984-e1f0u3r

This is certainly a big one. A personal favorite for one Matt, and an introduction to the other Matt. Does it live up to Matt's hype?

28/01/2022

New episode! It might have been our best conversation to date. Lots of fun with this one.

https://anchor.fm/tcmchallengepodcast/episodes/E08---Adams-Rib-1949-e1dig5t

This month we review the Adam's Rib steak house in Matt's Buffalo. No, no... it is 1949's Adam's Rib staring Spencer Tracey and Katharine Hepburn and their mind boggling chemistry. They are awesome, the comedy is great, but how does a progressive film from the late 40s hold up today? A lot better th...
