Yippie-ki-yay, mother and father! It's the Married to Movies finale! Desmond and Megan take on Die Hard and Steel Magnolias, pretty much the definitive representatives of their prospective genres. "Pontificous" is not a word. Desmond is right and Megan and Canada's national broadcasting company are wrong. Wrong! A strange noise interrupts a review, but is it the wind... or something paranormal?! Or is it just a hamster? Megan has a really weird side note about Natalie Portman that has nothing to...

This week it's a Reese Witherspoon special as Desmond and Megan cover 2000's American Psycho and 1998's Pleasantville. Megan doesn't quite understand what happened. And American Psycho's period setting is so convincing Megan falls for it, even though every actor in the movie is the same age as your hosts. Desmond explains how it's not all about women, and Megan uses the phrase "off herself." Also, there's either a black guy at the end of Pleasantville or a weird shadow [Note: Desmond went back a...

In an episode with films the other sex is supposed to enjoy there's no bickering, right? Wrong. This episode features reviews of Shane Black's masterpiece of a black comedy, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and the ultimate romantic comedy, Love Actually. Desmond hates movies. But he really loves Shane Black. Megan's favorite scene in an action movie she likes is an action scene? Megan says "hijinx" and then "weft." I don't know what that means! Desmond misuses the phrase "run the gauntlet," and do you thin...

It's musicals and massacres this week as Desmond and Megan take on 2007's Hairspray and 2010's Centurion! Finally, a film finds a way to make John Travolta even worse! Desmond has the hots for Michelle Pfeiffer. Maryland totally isn't the South.

This episode finishes off the Sporty September with 1977's Slap Shot and 1992's A League of Their Own. Paul Newman is old. And not even dreamy old. And Slap Shot is, in a word, gratuitous. Megan does get a kick out of old timey hockey, but then makes us all cringe with her fear of under-boob trauma. How does the fated relationship between these two podcasting titans revolve around a hockey puck? And who knew that Geena Davis was so damned hot? Mutant Kangaroos?! Pointy bras? What in the hell is ...

This week it's sports entertainment time! Megan picks 2009's Whip It! and Desmond counters with 2008's The Wrestler. Megan gets aggressive and Desmond gets hot. Does Desmond get racial? Maybe. Prefontaine. Prefontaine is the name he was thinking of. Megan talks bout lighting? What's happening here? Masculine tearjerker sounds wrong. But it's oh so right. Marisa Tomei is fantastic, and yes that's because she's naked the entire time. Megan's need for more of the story in The Wrestler forces Desmon...

This week, it's vacation time as Desmond and Megan are getting it on on The African Queen and going on a Roman Holiday. Uh, what? Who's this other Hepburn chick? Bogart is drunk and Canadian in this one, just like our hosts! Leeches? We don't need no stinkin' leeches! The hosts need medicinal leeches, because they went to Africa and got Hep K.

The Married to Movies Dictionary gets bigger as Megan makes up another word! Megan pines over wishing she knew what color the dresses were, and Desmond has given up trying to make her like black and white films.

In this second installment of Wedding Month, Desmond and Megan celebrate their anniversary by taking in 1999's Runaway Bride and 1998's Very Bad Things. The troubles begin in the synopsis. Desmond audibly sighs. Megan wants a fluff. What happens when the accidental death of a hooker is the most lighthearted thing in a comedy? The hosts talk about eggs - a lot. Megan uses words like "schmaltzy" and "super-anal." Wait, Jon Favreau and Jeremy Piven aren't the same person? And in amongst all this, s...

It's Spaghetti Western time on Married to Movies as Desmond and Megan review Sergio Leone's mainstream / North American breakthrough hit, A Fistful of Dollars.

In this episode of Married to Movies, the hosts are cursed by the number 13 with a mediocre movie that has moments of greatness furiously tethered to the suck by boring crap: Sam Mendes' Away We Go.

In this episode, while covering the kung fu classic Enter the Dragon, Megan states the obvious ("This is a real man movie") and Desmond agrees. While the plot isn't too dense, Megan still wasn't paying attention. Newsflash! Desmond loves this movie. Megan's a little indifferent. She does say something about a window imported from Sweden in her attempts to understand why her husband wants to be Bruce Lee. And Megan says something that terrifies her husband. There's some serious domestic scrapping...
