The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast
Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
Strap on your moonboots and shine up your mohawk, because The FP is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Drafthouse-exclusive poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring Daryl and Gerald of AnimeWorldOrder and Guy of ‘the Internet’.
Review in a Nutshell: A high concept, low budget comedy masquerading as an Eighties genre film, The FP is great. Let the haters hate; we love this film, yo.
Boot up your computer-generated parrots, because Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Japanese DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Andrew from The Veef Show and Collection-DX.
Review in a Nutshell: Low budget but groundbreaking, 20 Minutes into the Future is one of the few films that really deserves the term ‘cyberpunk’. It has a droll, British sense of humor and great production design, and I highly recommend it to anyone that can manage to track it down.
Break out the lame Internet jokes, because Trollhunter is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: An extremely dry, Scandinavian comedy masquerading as a found-footage horror film, Trollhunter is a movie filled with environmental metaphors, social commentary, and trolls.

While I’m working on editing this week’s GME episode proper, have a little bonus content to tide you over. Once again I make a guest appearance on Jon Brescia’s book club podcast, this time talking about Joseph Heller’s classic novel of war and paranoia, Catch-22. Click on the book cover or title above to download the discussion.
Break out the vomit bucket, because The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is (definitely not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring co-host Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: Half heart-warming kid’s movie with a message, half boorish toilet humor comedy, this film is painfully unwatchable.
Hold onto your golden tickets, because Last Action Hero is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring shameless Last Action Hero apologist, Sean ‘Hollywood’ Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: Part meta-narrative. Part satire of violent Eighties action movies. Part heart-warming children’s film. Last Action Hero is a film with an identity crisis.
Break out the pirate maps to buried treasure, because The Goonies is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherin(e) the Great.
Review in a Nutshell: A formative film experience from the Eighties, The Goonies holds up well as an adventure movie that is fun for children of all ages, even if you can see some rough patches with the eyes of an adult.
This movie contains:
Truffle Shuffle.
Ghost Pirates.
Cold-blooded Murder.
Katherin(e)’s Favorite Person in the Whole Wide World.
Batten down the hatches, because Cabin Boy is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
Review in a Nutshell: Do not be fooled by that enticing poster art. Cabin Boy is neither “hilarious” nor “fun”. It will make your brain hurt, and not in a good way.
This movie contains:
Ice Monsters.
Cupcakes.
Russ Tamblyn, Siren of the Deep.
Hold onto your sushi, because Wasabi is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.
NOTE: Technically difficulties caused Sean’s end of the conversation to “clip” during recording. We apologize for the sound quality in advance.
Review in a Nutshell: Wasabi is an action-comedy with a zany sense of humor and a clean visual aesthetic. The film doesn’t hold up well to repeated viewing, but a single viewing is definitely worth a look, especially if you liked the later films influenced by Wasabi, such as Crank and Shoot `Em Up.
To heck with movies, it’s time to talk about some kiddy cartoons.
CLICK HERE or on the image above to download a bonus episode in which guest hosts Clarissa and Gerald from AnimeWorldOrder help Paul review My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Review in a Nutshell: Our topics of the discussion run the gamut of gender roles, feminism, intertextuality, mythology, and the nature of strong characters and clever writing.
We explore thoroughly what it means to be adults enjoying a cartoon meant for children. This podcast is a counterpoint to the one published by Jeremy and company over at Destroy All Podcasts DX.
