Naming A Movie Podcast Is Hard: Recent Episodes
Abi and Matt @NamingAMoviePod
They've known each other for forever but do they know each other's movie taste? Probably not. Join lifelong friends Abby and Matt as they discuss movies, life, and the trauma of high school marching band.
Abi and Matt watch a movie set entirely at camp at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida
We just got a letter. We just got a letter. We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from.
Abi and Matt watched Garden State. Now they watched another movie by the same writer/director/actor in Scrubs.
Abi and Matt discuss a movie Matt doesn't remember recommending to Abi. We do not stick to podcasting in this episode.
Abi and Matt talk about a classic film. Digressions include a discussion of sports equipment used for cooking and nothing else. We stayed on topic.
Despite not seeing the movies, Abi and Matt settle the debate about Barbie versus Oppenheimer. They then talk about what movies they've watched recently.
Abi and Matt talk about the film She Said. This movie stars Carey Mulligan and the New York Times.
Abi and Matt watch a classic. Is it a classic? Yes. Matt talks Knicks. Abi talks cards. We both talk and talk and talk.
We talk about teen romantic comedies. Mostly. I don't know, but Sixpence None the Richer is a band.
We haven't seen all the movies. These are some of the movies we'll pretend like we've seen so that people won't make fun of us.
Abi and Matt talk about the Oscars, but they haven't seen the films. Oh, well. We tried.
Abi and Matt talk about movie that is nominated for Best Picture. They also talk about nothing and everything all at once. Isn't that what life is about? Maybe. You decide.
Abi and Matt talk about a movie adaptation of a book they read for book club. They were in a book club once.
Abi and Matt both like Top Gun Maverick, but they disagree on how worthy of an Oscar contender it should be. Oh, well. We're still friends.
Our annual tradition continues. We talk a lot about television for a movie podcast, but we do it with intention.
There is no Christmas movie starring Vanessa Hudgens this year. Instead, we get a movie starring Lindsay Lohan and some dude who might be Santa. Maybe.
Abi and Matt watch an Xmas movie. Many different types of fish are mentioned. Jess is a character on Gilmore Girls.
Is this a backdoor pilot for Naming a Television Podcast is Hard? Yes. Abi and Matt talk about what they've been watching recently.
Abi likes a new food reality television show. Matt enjoys Selena Gomez's songs and cooking show. Abi believes she has discovered an untapped food frontier.
Abi still despises Hot Rod. Matt still loves it. Despite our differences in taste, we are still thankful for one another. Cool beans.
Abi watches this horror movie with the sound on. Matt does an awful impression of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. Tori Spelling is mentioned.
Abi and Matt go back to 2000. Abi doesn't understand why the critics did not like this movie. Matt doesn't understand why Mandy Moore's music is playing in something other than A Walk to Remember.
Abi and Matt discuss Elvis the movie. They also discuss Elvis the musician. Elvis is said a lot in the movie and in the podcast. Elvis.
What if one decision you made changed everything? What if Sliding Doors are an architectural wonder? What if Grease 2 is a movie we talk about? What if we talk about If Then again?
Abi and Matt discuss the film Cha Cha Real Smooth and the Olympic game Coke and Pepsi. We also touch on inflatable saxophones, sports parties, and the scarring experience of hiding in bathrooms during slow dances.
Abi and Matt have new interns. After they get their company IDs and learn how to make coffee, we pick five movies we want to share with them.
Abi and Matt talk about movies to watch on July 4th. We talk about the beginning/end of summer, missing Good Humor trucks, and block parties we were never invited to.
Abi and Matt figure out that movies change throughout the years. Should Argo have won Best Picture? Should Ben Affleck have been nominated for Best Director? Did I run out of questions to ask while I was writing this?
Abi, Matt, and a producer talk about a 90s classic. Matt continues to give away Oscars he doesn't have to give away.
Shane West and Mandy Moore star in a movie that Abi and Matt saw in theaters when they were teenagers. Landon Carter has not great friends. Jamie Sullivan sings. Landon's hug with his father at the end of the movie is fantastic.

This week we review two movies - An American Pickle (2020) and Muriel's Wedding (1994) - released 25 years apart. But if you think that means we can't tie these two together...you are mistaken! Mostly tied together by Abi's hatred, and Matt's eternal optimism. See who wins!

This week we have a very special guest on, partly because he's our friend and mostly because we have no idea what we're talking about without him! Listen as we defer to John any time a hard question comes up...and hate on Jakob Dylan a little too much. We chat about Echo in the Canyon (2018).
And if, like us, you're inspired by this movie to listen to more music of the 60's, perhaps listen to "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke, or "Alabama" by John Coltrane, or many many others inspired during the Civil Rights era and still relevant today.
