This week on Myopia, we realize why the Superman franchise went dormant for nearly two decades, we watched Superman IV: The Quest for Peace ... why. I mean....Nuclear Man alone...our shortest episode in years....sorry, not sorry. How will Superman 4: The Quest for Peace hold up? Spoilers, poorly. Host: Nic Panel: Alex, Keiko, Nur Directed by Sidney J. Furie Starring: Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure, Jon Cryer, Sam Wanamaker, Mark Pillow, Mariel Hemingw...
In honor of the release of the new Pedro Pascal Fantastic Four: First Steps, we interrupt our Super Month with a special release! This week on Myopia Movies, we manage to find something even dumber than getting hit with cosmic rays in space— and that’s saying something. We’re diving headfirst into the joyless, gloomy void that is Josh Trank’s 2015 Fantastic Four or as we kept calling it Fant-4-stick. It’s not just a bad superhero movie—it’s a bleak, baffling mess that somehow makes stretchy limb...
This month we continue our Superman rewatch and visit a chaotic Richard Pryor movie. In this episode of Myopia: The Podcast , we dive into the much-maligned Superman 3 (1983), a film that takes the Man of Steel in some bizarre new directions. From Richard Pryor's unexpected comedic role to the weird, campy tone that sets it apart from its predecessors, we break down why Superman 3 is often seen as a quirky misstep in the franchise. Is it as bad as its reputation suggests, or is there something s...
In honor of the James Gunn Superman , we continue our Supermonth! This week on Myopia Movies, we leap tall plot holes in a single bound and confront the chaos of Superman II (1980)—a sequel caught in a tug-of-war between two directors, studio meddling, and a trio of space fascists in disco pajamas. We ask: Does the Man of Steel’s second outing still soar, or does it crash under the weight of tonal whiplash, questionable powers, and a very random kiss of forgetfulness? Join us as we revisit the s...

This week on Myopia Movies, we bathe in the waters that are James Bond, starting with a kickass classic sounding Bond song and ending with Home Alone . We watched the last great Bond film, Skyfall, which doubles as the greatest M movies.

This week on Myopia Movies, Antonio Banderas plays a muslim explorer discovering Vikings...yup. We watched The 13th Warrior, based on the much better titled Michael Crichton book, The Eaters of the Dead.

This week on Myopia Movies, we are forced to drink a pint of whiskey because of mistaken identity; if the identity was correct it would have been a quart. We watched North by Northwest. Hitch's love letter to the vastness of America. How will North by Northwest hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Alex, Keiko, Matthew Starring: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Jessie Royce Landis, Leo G. Carroll, Josephine Hutchinson, Philip Ober, Martin Landau, Adam Williams, Edward Platt...
This week on Myopia Movies,we step onto the ledge of cinematic obsession with Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo — a film that turns love, identity, and acrophobia into an existential spiral. Jimmy Stewart plays a retired detective with a fear of heights and a talent for projection, and Kim Novak plays… well, let’s just say she plays a lot. Is this 1958 classic still a mesmerizing masterpiece of psychological suspense, or is it just Hitchcock working out his therapy sessions on-screen? Does the dream lo...
This week on Myopia Movies we learn why I only take bubble baths, we start our Alfred Hitchcock Month with Psycho! The reason I only stay at Holiday Inn Express. How will Psycho hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Alex, Matthew, Keiko Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Starring: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam, and Janet Leigh
This week on Myopia Movies, not even a vicious stomach virus can keep me from releasing an episode on a movie that, appropriately enough, feels like a vicious stomach virus. We watched Ultraviolet, a movie appropriately named because it should not be seen with the naked eye. How will Ultraviolet hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Keiko, Matthew, Nur Directed by Kurt Wimmer Starring: Milla Jovovich, Cameron Bright, Nick Chinlund, William Fichtner, Sebastien Andrieu, Ida Martin...
The week we see Charlie Day and giant monsters, which is all pretty sweet. We watched Pacific Rim a movie set in 2025, which if it came true may still not be top headlines in the real 2025. How will Pacific Rim hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Matt, Keiko, Alex Directed by Guillermo del Toro Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Burn Gorman
This week on Myopia Movies , it’s suddenly Seymour—and Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, Frank Oz, and one giant, man-eating plant. We dove into Little Shop of Horrors , the cult musical that made us fear dentists, question florists, and hum along while the world burns. Somebody feed me... Seymour!

This week we get alllllll creepy crawly. We watched Arachnophobia , another movie, like almost all movies, that doesn't have nearly enough John Goodman! “Before Eight-Legged Freaks made spiders scream-worthy and before Jeff Daniels became America’s favorite newsroom anchor, there was Arachnophobia —the movie that turned every shoe, vacuum, and rolled-up newspaper into a weapon of survival. This week on Myopia Movies , we crawl back to 1990 to face our fears—literally—with a horror-comedy that da...
This week on Myopia Movie, we complete our worst of the previous year month with a movie that no one wanted, and no one liked, we saw Borderlands, a movie that not only lost $114 million of a $145 million budget (excluding advertising), it was delayed for three years and this was still the best they could come up with. How will Borderlands hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Keiko, Matthew, Alex Directed by Eli Roth Starring: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Edgar Ramírez, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana Greenblatt, ...
This week we continue the Worst of the Previous Year for Oscars Month and are baffled by a stupid movie, whose book is somehow worse. We watched Argylle, the worse the script, the dumber the lie. How will Argylle hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Matt, Zack Directed by Matthew Vaughn Starring: Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, Daniel Singh, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, Richard E.

This week on Myopia Movies , we’re celebrating a milestone—500 episodes! To honor the journey, we’re going back to a movie that came out just as we were starting and talking about the Turtles. This time, though, we are covering the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles , produced by Michael Bay, which came out while we were starting. It’s awful, it’s outrageous, and surprisingly adult for what was a kids’ movie. So, for this special episode, we’re doing something different: a syncable commentary, ju...
Happy Valentines Day! That means cheesy rom-coms! This week on Myopia Movies, we learn the danger of print media! We watched How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, or How to Troll Your Partner.

Welcome to Myopia Movies, where we rewatch the films of our youth to see if they stand the test of time—or if nostalgia was lying to us! This week, we’re diving into 1989’s Look Who’s Talking , the baby-powered comedy that made us all wonder what our infants were really thinking. With John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, and Bruce Willis as the voice of a wisecracking newborn, this movie was a box office hit—but does it still charm in 2024, or is it just baby babble? Strap in your car seats, folks—we’r...
Welcome to Myopia Movies, the podcast where we revisit the films of our youth to see if they hold up under the lens of nostalgia—or crumble under the weight of time! This week, we’re plunging headfirst into the campy chaos of 1984’s Ice Pirates. With space herpes, robot pirates, and a desert-dry water crisis, this sci-fi comedy is equal parts swashbuckling adventure and ‘80s absurdity. But does it still have treasure hidden beneath its dated special effects, or has it been lost in the black hole...
Welcome back to Myopia Movies the show where we boldly go—wait, wrong franchise—where we dive headfirst into the galaxy far, far away! And today, we’re talking about Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back , the movie that taught us three very important lessons: 1) Always check if someone’s your dad before you start a fight, 2) Tauntauns may smell bad, but they’re lifesavers, and 3) Never kiss your sibling—even if you don’t know they’re your sibling. That’s right! We’re breaking down the ...
