I Made You Watch This!: Recent Episodes
Dallas McLaughlin
Sam and Dallas are an adorable married couple who have cursed their relationship by making a podcast. Especially one where they force each other to watch movies the other one likes. Adorable.
Dallas and Sam are back to walk you through a very interesting and at times laughable third installment of the Ant-Man SAGA! Did they like it? Did they hate it? Did they both think it was better than the Marvel Bros thought it was??? AND WHAT ABOUT MODOK??? This movie might've been more fun than sad internet boys wanted it to be...
Dallas and Sam are back! Well, they were back, and then they weren't. They actually recorded this episode back in November, and ACTUALLY watched the movie back in February, BUT HERE WE ARE!!! Listen as they talk with ASMR vibes and stuffy noses about the best Marvel movie to feature Namor! Was it good? Bad? Can Dallas get over the death of a legend? Can Sam get over the weird fish people? The answers await...
After 10 and a half months we are back! Holy CRAP. In our worst sounding episode yet, Sam and Dallas breakdown Thor, Love, and Thunder. We talk about Christian Bale being wasted, Russell Crowe being wasted drunk, and we talk about Natalie Portman being drunk. Or not! Was this movie good? WE DON'T KNOW!! Listen...NOW!
After MONTHS away we return with a whopper of an episode about a stale whopper of a movie. Actually, kidding...we both kind of liked it. It has John Krasinksi, Captain Pickard and even some other people! All in all we thought...you're gonna have to listen to find out! Come with us through the multiverse as we release several versions of this same episode and they all play AT THE EXACT SAME TIME!
Well, we recorded this a long time ago. Then we went on a literal vacation. This isn't in theaters anymore. It might not be a movie anymore. Who knows? ANYWAY, it's our last episode...until Dr. Strange 2! So, you better freaking love this one! We did! No Way Home gave us all the feels, and all the questions! This might be one of those 'don't think about it just enjoy it' flicks, but it was a blast! ENJOY!
Ugh. How did we go from one of our favorites to one of the worst so quickly? Eternals. I wish I could hide how we didn't care about this movie, but it's impossible. What a dumb stupid movie. LISTEN!
We are back so soon! And, I think you might even be shocked with this episode! Why? CAUSE WE HAVE STRONG OPINIONS about not only how to pronounce the title of this film - but the film itself? Like, was the lead older than he should be? Did we not know Awkwafina was in this film? Is that how you spell her fake name?? WHO KNOWS! Listen to us talk about the martial arts and flying mythical beasts! LISTENNNNNNNNN!
After an extremely long break in which many things happened WE ARE BACK! It's Black Widow time! Did we love it? Did we hate it? How many Ed Norton Hulks did we give it? Does Sam side with ScarJo's contract disputes and does Dallas overlook David Harbour's bad accent because he likes his character?? SO MANY QUESTIONS AND SOME ANSWERS! LISTEN NOW!
Breezing right past the Infinity Saga with the next chapter of the MCU! Spider-Man FFH is a cautionary tale about going to Europe with Zendaya. Did we like it? Hate it? What are our favorite Jake Gyllenhall movies? Did I spell that right? I don't care. Find out way more than you ever wanted to know about holograms and be surprised at the final ranking!! LISTEN!
Well, it took almost an entire year, but we did it! WE FINISHED THE INFINITY SAGA!! This one was tough, cause although we both REALLY liked it, boy did we have plot issues. A LOT. We also chat about ScarJo's contract dispute, timelines, and how the movie completely implodes upon itself in the end. game. LISTEN!
Oh my! It's time for Brie Larson to fly! We watched Captain Marvel, or did we? More clearly did Sam? We had more questions than answers, had a difficult time finding a favorite moment, and might've even ended up hating Brie Larson???? It was so blah WE DIDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT JUDE LAW!! We did talk about Annette Bening, though. You bet your ass. LISTEN!
After a very long break we are back with what critics have called "A MOVIE!" Ant-Man and The Wasp is one of the least liked MCU films and honestly - it doesn't make a ton of sense. But, did we love it?! Probably? Maybe not. Sam tells us who the real Catwoman and can't wait to talk about her least favorite part of the movie while Dallas tries to make sense of the Quantum Realm. LISTEN NOW!!
We done did it! We made it all the way to part one of the Infinity Gauntlet! Listen as we misremember which one it was, or hear hoe Dallas reacted when they saw it theaters! You're gonna wanna hear what Dallas' least favorite part was and Sam's eventual rankings!! SO MANY TEASERS!!!!
After a little break Sam and Dallas are back to talk about one of the MCU's masterpieces - Black Panther! Did we like it? Did we hate it? Why was it so uncomfortable at parts, and why is everyone so mad?! The Hobbit! Wallace from The Wire! Jackie Robinson and SMIGEL?! This movie had it all...and a terrible looking ending! LISTEN!
We may have accidentally skipped it, but we definitely this time didn't? YEA! Dallas and Sam break down the MCU's collab with SONY on a reboot that wasn't a reboot, but was: Spider-Man! Did we like Tom Holland? Was he as good as Tobey? Why wasn't there a spider bite, WHEN IS ZENDAYA GONNA BE ALL ZENDAYA-Y??? Plus, MICHEAL KEATON IS THE BEST BATMAN, SO GET THAT STRAIGHT RIGHT NOW. LISTEN!
AFTER A LONG BREAK - WE ARE BACK - and with a slam of a hammer! Ugh. Terrible pun. Anyway, we're back. Sam and Dallas watched Thor: Ragnarok and in the end gave it some surprising rankings - then had a debate over the rankings system in general! Hulk! Valkryie! Jeff Goldblum! Cate Blanchett! This movie has it all - even DEVO! Listen and subscribe! OR DON'T!
It took us way too long but we went back to space for Guardians of the Galaxy and DID YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY VIN DIESEL MADE FOR THIS MOVIE??? It's kind of all we can talk about. We also talk about Kurt Russell, other stuff, Vin Diesel, Sam having no idea Bradley Cooper was in this, Vin Diesel, our baby woke up, and VIN DIESEL. LISTEN! SHARE!
WE WERE ON A ROLL!! Ant-Man, Guardians, Civil War - THING'S WERE LOOKING UP! Then, Steven (Stephen?) Strange had to come screw it all up! This movie about magic and doctors and magic doctors clearly divided us for the first time ever. BUT, who hated it and who loved it, and who cares?! Hopefully, you do. LISTEN NOW!
PHASE THREE HAS BEGUN! Tune in to our most annoying, but possibly funnest (not a word) episode yet! First our dogs won't stop moving, then Sam won't stop eating! WHAT A BLESSING! We get into it - and we both REALLY LIKE IT! It's an MCU miracle! Spider-Man shows up, Black Panther shows up, Ant-Man is back, and we don't even talk about Peggy's niece - why would we?! Also, we dive deep into the psychological question that faces Iron Man at the end of the movie - what would you do? LISTEN! REVIEW! WHO CARES!
Well, we finish phase two with a bang! A little bang, cause ants, ant-man, wasp, yellow jacket, get it? GET IT?! Ugh. The corner has officially turned and we actually liked this one! I mean, Dallas liked the majority of them, but this one still holds up! The real question is - what does Sam remember??? Tell your friends to listen and subscribe as we enter the last phase of the MCU and perhaps the end of the podcast!!!
From one of our quietest episodes to one of our loudest! We watched Age of Ultron and boy did we think it was fine! Not great. Not as terrible as most people remember, but somewhere in the middle. Almost none of this plot made sense, Vision is always awesome, and James Spader will never be bad in anything. LISTEN NOW! (also, Mark Ruffalo and ScarJo???)
Well, this is one we've been waiting for! It somehow has two things Sam hates most, but she's certain she'll love it - did she? Did I? Did anyone remember John C. Reilly was in this?! This also might be one of our quietest episodes as our baby was not okay with us talking during bedtime. ENJOY!
In our coziest episode yet we break down the most uneven Marvel movie yet! Just what the hell is ScarJo doing in this movie? Is she in high school? Is she a flirt? And, ROBERT REDFORD???? Lots of questions, very few answers, but at least we can all agree that ScarJo is awful in this movie and her character is completely weird. LISTEN!!
We made it to what is probably the last "bad" MCU movie! Probably! Elves, bad elves, Anthony Hopkins, other elves - IDRIS ELBA soars! There is so much to unpack here and we barely do any of it and instead talk about space. Also, the baby interrupts the pod and I don't edit it out! DON'T CARE - IT'S THOR 2! Listen to Sam guess box office impressively well, and Dallas give a boring history about Thor!
We start out Phase 2 of the MCU with our most whispery, breathy episode yet! Yay! We have a baby that must stay asleep! Join us as we realize that Iron Man 3 might be Dallas' favorite Iron Man movie, and that the concept of the underdog/hero winning might make Sam mad. LISTEN!
We made it through Phase 1 of the MCU! Amazing. Incredible. Fantastic? Who knows?! Find out who our favorite Avengers are so far, and what we thought about the Phase 1 movies in general. Were they really as bad as we made them sound? Were they ever that good? Are we? GOOD GOD SO MANY QUESTIONS WHAT ARE WE MARRIED???
The journey down the MCU continues with The First Avenger - Chris Evans! Found out just how much Sam didn't watch of the movie, if it's held up, and why is it sooooo long? Plus we talk Tucci, who Agent Carter is and why no one really knows! It's probably our least focused episode but at least we talk a lot about the Avengers!
How did we ever talk for 20 minutes about the first crap installment of the Thor series?! LISTEN AND FIND OUT!! Jeeez, I'm not giving it away. Our next stop on the MCU journey takes us to the Kenneth Branagh directed wasteland featuring Natalie Portman, the guy from Good Will Hunting, and a Hemsworth! Find out why Sam thinks Kat Dennings is a bigger star than Natalie Portman, and why I love Branagh and we both hate this movie. Also, listen to our adorable baby make noises the whole episode - WE'RE PROFESSIONAL!!
We're back! Wow! Aren't you lucky?? Our next stop on the MCU train is the oft-misunderstood Mickey Rourke classic, Iron Man 2. We talk about how it's actually better than the first, Howard Vs. Cheadle, and Sam's dislike for fake science. Enjoy it! Or don't! YOU DIDN'T SPEND ONE DAMN DOLLAR!
Next up in the MCU is the unofficial/official Ed Norton masterpiece - The Incredible Hulk. Could you sense the sarcasm? I hope so. Sam and Dallas struggle to find anything positive to say, which makes it even more amazing that the episode is 20 minutes. Everyone sucks in it, and the ending is probably the dumbest ending in history? ENJOY!
Dallas convinces Sam to watch the Marvel Cinematic Universe in release order. They started with weird sounds live from their room and talk about 2008's intro in to the MCU - Iron Man. Robert Downey, Jr finds redemption, we completely forget how little Jonny Favs is in it, and we also forget that maybe it's not that great? LISTEN! Subscribe I guess? I mean, why would you do that? Who knows!
