Christmas came early this year, folks - in the form of awards screeners! So many screeners, so little time... How will J and K ever watch them all? This week your favorite Movie Geek couple gets all nostalgic with movies that vaguely remind them of their own lives: Young Adult and The Descendants . Cause, you know, we totally have some rich, royal ancestors that left us with acres and acres of virgin Hawaiian land. Just thinking about it gives us Kushlash. That or a hangover. We can't really rem...

SPIELBERG DOUBLE FEATURE, y'all! Yes, we're catching senioritis in terms of the holidays, we missed a early screening of War Horse and we decided to rectify that by exposing Krissy to a two-fer of The Steve's output from the Aughts: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) and A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)! One Krissy almost fell asleep during (big surprise!) and the other's viewing was Justin's only 2nd time seeing it since the 1st time being one of the saddest movie-goin...

As you sit and rub your swollen post-Thanksgiving bellies, we here at So I Married a Movie Geek would like to remind you that though the holiday is over, there is still so much to be thankful for... Vegas trips and GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS! , the fact that you don't live right next to a vampire (even if he does look like Colin Farrell), the inalienable right to touch your face 40,000 times a day (and a governmental investigative agency who's willing to go to all the trouble of cataloging every time you...

Ever ridden on a train? Ever thought of throwing your mother off of one...? If you said 'no,' great - we can still be friends! But if you said 'yes,' we might have to get all Beverly Hills Cop on yo' punk ass! And it won't be pretty… I'm talking about bananas up the tailpipe, people. (Literally!) But whether you're of the murdering or bystanding persuasion, you should really listen on -- as we critically navigate the murky water surrounding this year's Oscar host hopefuls' past. Was Eddie Murphy...

It's a special birthday edition of So I Married a Movie Geek this week, kids! Krissy was in the hot seat this time, and turned the podcast on its head by choosing two movies she had seen, but Justin hadn't -- this year's Crazy, Supid Love and a 2000 high school favorite, Center Stage ! Indeed, it was the perfect storm of Krissy's favorite things: dancing, love triangles, comedic family dysfunction, and Ryan Gosling with his shirt off. Fun was had by all... But especially the birthday girl. Join ...

Stephen King Halloween double feature, kids! Yup. Krissy had somehow avoided these 2 flicks for waaaaaaay too long: It (1990) and Pet Sematary (1989). She even thought one of them was a comedy until this weekend. So, like we do, we watched both of them and "discussed" them over wine and the saddest, saddest Skittles. Oh yeah. The good stuff. You know how it is. Listen as we jump from random subject to random subject. Chatter babble like: IT kids vs. IT adults, Pennywise The Clown, clowns in gene...

Picture it: you're lost in the woods with no map, very little food, and you're down a man. It's been five days, and unless something changes, death seems imminent. WHAT DO YOU DO?? If you answered 'set a forest fire and run up a flame retardant tree' or 'follow the circular creek to freedom!' you could be the next guest on So I Married a Movie Geek ! Yup, J and K have it all figured out, kids. All they need now is to fashion an oscillating fan into a standalone panning camera to catch some grand...

We invite a real live human being (and a real hero) to the podcast this week and man oh man....do we start drinking wine early. LOTS OF WINE. Cheap glorious wine. Our favorite critic, Grae Drake of The Popcorn Mafia (and Movies Dot Com) fame, guests for the 2nd time to go head to head with Krissy for a rather balanced edition of CLOONEY VS. GOSLING: HOTTIE OFF. Plus, we discuss the brand new Footloose and whether it's worth a look, celebrity hair makeovers, trips to Romania, lost Blu-ray feature...

This generation may be gaga over Robert Pattinson, but really, who are we kidding? It’s all about Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise… and Gary Oldman? Yup – Halloween came early this month, folks, as J and K embrace all things Nosferatu. Also, Nosferatu may or may not be an anagram for something rather insidious and odoriferous that kept making its way into the podcast… Could it be FOG?! Enjoy your favorite Movie Geek couple’s dissection of ‘ Interview With the Vampire’ and ‘ Bram Stoker’s Dracula’ (not to b...

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of rambling, caffienated conversation about 2 movies that Krissy has never seen; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination and pure aural sexiness. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Triangle/Twilight Zone: The Movie episode of SIMAMG! The discussion includes the 2 of us trying to make sense (and not quite succeeding) of Triangle 's plot, K's personal problems wit...

Baseball vs. porn. Porn vs. baseball. How do you choose between the 2 subjects of our latest double feature? One features Brad Pitt playing the smooth-talking manager of the record-breaking 2002 Oakland Athletics. The other features a character who wears a dildo on his head and a woman known for pleasuring 4 men at the same - albeit gross - time. MONEYBALL and ORGAZMO , you guys. Tons of fun. We discuss baseball movies, Dodger Stadium seating, the Brad and Jen and Angelina Monster, Jonah Hill, n...

It's a DRIVE double feature! Or a triple feature if you count the fact that both of us saw Drive twice over the weekend. We enjoyed it a great deal, you see. GO SEE IT NOW! AND Krissy finally got to experience her 2nd film from the Two Coreys Trilogy: License To Drive ! The cinema vehicular discussion that followed includes thoughts on Ryan Gosling's hunk status, "Nightcall," Albert Brooks as a bad bad guy outside of The Simpsons , the simpleness of Carey Mulligan, autism, supercool scorpion jac...

Guess who has another girl crush? If you guessed ‘Krissy,’ you win a prize! And if you guessed ‘Justin,’ you *still* win a prize!! Yes, your favorite movie-watching couple takes it aaallll the way back Awkward Town this week, as we commiserate about how hot Mila Kunis is, how NOT hot inexperienced teenagers are, and how much Krissy wants to mail a care package of BIC razors to the fine people of Mexico. The double sexy feature: Friends with Benefits and Y Tu Mamá También ! Also, the age old ques...

Justin and Krissy are outclassed this week in a sea of BMXers (who may or may not also work in factories) and hardcore murder-solving skaters! But hey, they're REASONABLY AVERAGE IN LOVE! Grab your Couples Skate partner and join us as we discuss the merit of bringing your BMX bike to the school dance, Lori Loughlin's apparent fountain of youth, solving crime the Christian Slater skater way, driving cop cars through the O.C. very very badly, and montages! montages! montages! WHEW, that's a lot. T...

Woody Allen double feature! Yes, we both get a little neurotic and wacky talking about the newest Woody flick ( Midnight in Paris ) and one of his classics ( Manhattan ). One of us has seen most of Woody's output of films while the other has seen only a handful! Like always, we answer the important questions on everyone's minds: Did either movie make us want to move to Paris or NYC? Is it cool for someone to have a favorite cinematographer? What is the true Golden Age and is nostalgia really tha...

WARNING: We officially have gone off the deep end for this 66th episode of SIMAMG!! And not like the deep end of the pool at a nice hotel in Vegas or something. NO. Like the deep end of a YMCA pool where it's 12 feet deep and your ears start to pop as you try to pick pennies up off the bottom. Yes, we do watch two of Justin's "FAVORITES" ever: The Shining and The Fly (The Jeff Goldblum Version). And yes, we probably say something that will offend most everyone. A roller-un-PC-coaster, if you wil...

This happens. This is something that happens... What's "this" you ask? The Total Glorious Package: Almost Famous and Magnolia! Kate Hudson at her best, Julianne Moore at her crying worst and (quite accidentally on our part) a brilliant Phillip Seymour Hoffman double feature performance! Squeak 'em, squeak 'em whaaaaat? Yup, Christmas came early this year, kids... In the form of a Golden God and raining frogs. Rated PG-13 with some poopy language on the side. Enjoy!

Dystopian double feature! This week, Krissy takes the flick-choosing reins and picks two movies that she couldn't continue being completely oblivious about: A Clockwork Orange and Blade Runner (The Director's Cut)!!! And she only loved one of them! Duh duh duuuuhhhh. But which one? Other questions answered during the podcast: how noir does Krissy like her noir? Does she also love - NAZIS?? What's Justin's favorite Kubrick film? What would be our personal Ludovico techniques? Is there such a thin...

So what do cowboys, indians, aliens, clowns, laser slap bracelets, phallic gold-mining alien ships, cotton candy testes, electric circus tents, and kids with knives have in common? Absolutely nothing! Except a place in this podcast, of course, which this week takes on the new 'Cowboys and Aliens' movie along with the "kult klassic" (according to Justin) 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space.' J and K's opinions differ on which movie is the better of the two, though both are down for siphoning off some...

It's Captains' Week at Ye Olde Movie Geek Podcast, and for once we're not talking about Jack Sparrow, Captain Hook, or Capt Crunch. No - this week goes out to the real heroes. Captain Heroes. Y'know, the kind who run into fire bridges, do battle with trash can lids, and who wear their scraggly long hair unwashed and generally enjoy loafing (a la 'The Big Lebowski Goes Boating'). That's right - this week belongs to Captain America/Ron!!!! Because really, haven't you ALWAYS WANTED to hear J & ...

HARRY POTTER-THON!!! Yes. Justin did it. He coerced Krissy via magic elixir to finally break down and watch her some Harry Potter. Not just one movie. Not just two. But EVERY SINGLE one over the span of a weekend. Including...the new one, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Pt. 2 , that's now breaking box office records. Why hadn't she seen any of these incredibly popular movies? Why hadn't she read any of the books? Because she's Krissy. And this podcast exists specifically to catch her up t...

The potty-mouth tirade continues! This week we welcome one of our favorite ladies, Grae Drake (of the Popcorn Mafia podcast, Movies dot com and Fandango fame), as a super special guest to discuss not one but TWO bad boss flicks: Horrible Bosses and The Devil's Advocate!! What do we spend waaaay too long blabbin' about, you might (or might not) ask? Well...what color is Jennifer Aniston's eyes AND when is she going to finally show the goods? What are our personal worst boss stories and why was Kr...

Hit men and hookers! Two of our most favorite subjects wrapped into a warm podcast tortilla of love! With a very special guest from the opposite coast! Yes, this week we welcome our podcast's biggest superfan (and potential stalker?) Jordan Yanco to form together like Voltron and discuss 2 more flicks Krissy had managed to evade for waaaaaaay too long: PULP FICTION and PRETTY WOMAN!!! What better double feature to celebrate the Fourth of July, right? Like a bottle rocket straight into your face!...

It's a very special (and may we say bodacious) birthday edition of 'So I Married A Movie Geek' as we go late 80's for an old school double feature: BEETLEJUICE and BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE!!! Both were seminal childhood flicks for Justin and both, of course, were completely bypassed by Krissy for over 20 years. But no more! We discuss our recent trip to the Northwest, Krissy's love of trees, Tim Burton, Saturday morning cartoons, Michael Keaton, Captain Kangaroo: The Ride, time travel,...

Tom Hanks double feature, y'all. Seriously. TRUTH: We love Tom Hanks. And if you don't love him too, we don't know what to say to you. You might just be a communist. This week, Krissy had full choice and we watched 2 Hanks flicks, BIG (1988) and JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO (1990). One is Justin's all-time favorite Hanks film. The other features Meg Ryan in three roles, Abe Vigoda and a volcano. So there you go. Spoilers and nostalgia-diarrhea filled, like always! This tangent-filled episode is rated ...

How super was J.J. Abrams's Super 8 really? And what specific scenes did Krissy have beef with after finally seeing Close Encounters of the Third Kind for the very first time?!? Those questions and more are all answered (more or less) in this super duper alien-tastic double feature episode of SIMAMG! Soooooo MINT, am I right? Feeling the Spielberg love, this week we make nostalgia cotton candy and discuss movie mashups, Abrams's extreme obsession with lens flares, THE MOST SPECTACULAR TRAIN CRAS...

ALL X-MEN EPISODE! Is X-Men First Class the best of the bunch? We force Krissy to watch her very first X-Men double feature: X-Men (2000) and the brand new one out in the theaters too! X-cellent, right? Which one did she enjoy more? How much in love are we both now with Michael Fassbender? FASSBENDER!!!! How many degrees are we currently from Kevin Bacon? What would be Krissy's big superpower? It's all in this episode that's rated PG-13!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade vs. The Fifth Element ! Two adventurous flicks personally programmed by Justin's sister Kristin and both previously unseen by Krissy (of course)! Harrison Ford and Sean Connery vs. Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovovovovich!! Which flick kept Krissy awake ---better? As a relative newbie to the series, out of the Indiana Jones trilogy (and not the woeful 4th), which is her official favorite? Up to this point, what did Krissy think the Holy Grail actually was?

An Arnold Schwarzenegger double feature?!? It's naht a tumor! It's a two-fer! No really. Are you ready for the most scatterbrained discussion of Predator and Total Recall ...perhaps EVER? Because when you add a visiting family member to the mix, there is absolutely no way that anyone can stay on topic during this week's episode. Maybe we were just happy not to be raptured? The rambling spiel includes many many bad Arnold impressions, plus thoughts about Alien Vs. Predator , Lil Jon and Alex Mack...

It's wedding season! And what better way to celebrate than to watch 2 movies that illustrate the sometimes hilarious (and sometimes much less hilarious) realities of the process of getting hitched: the new-in-theaters Bridesmaids and the 1998 dark comedy Very Bad Things ! We discuss the awesomeness of Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, water/laser weddings, Cameron Diaz, the legacy of Jeremy Piven, half-Golden Globe noms, our own wedding party experiences and much more. We even spontaneously bre...
