Advertise on podcast: They Called This a Movie

This week, we're heading to Gotham and watching the most divisive movie featuring the Caped Crusader and his Rogues Gallery. It's The People's Joker on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie.  Join us as we discuss the art style, the beef with Lorne Michaels, and how this movie is the most personal and heartfelt movie we've ever reviewed.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Cynthia Rothrock teams up with yet another boring white guy that winds up getting all the glory, as they try to track down a serial killer, as we watched Undefeatable on this week's episode.  Join us as we discuss the villain known as Stingray, Cynthia Rothrock taking a back seat to someone less interesting, and signing other people up for college without their knowledge.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

This week, the Italians decided it was their turn to remake King Kong, as we watched the 1977 Canadian/Italian production Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century.  Join us as we discuss yeti body parts (or lack thereof), the blatantness of the ripoff, and crossing over into intentional homicide.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

It's our Movie of the Month for the month of March, as voted on by our Patreon subscribers. We're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves this week, as we decided to celebrate Easter a little bittle early by watching the Christian propaganda film, Gramps Goes to College.  Join us as we discuss the creepiness of the protagonist, the fact that no one understands chess, and the similarities to the work of Neil Breen.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

We've stumbled upon someone's very poorly disguised fetish this week, as we talk about the lesbian catgirl romcom, Baby Cat.  Join us as we discuss the genuinely funny moments, the baffling places this movie goes, and commend all involved for the commitment to the bit.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

It's St. Patrick's Day week (sort of), and we've run out of movies from the Leprechaun horror franchise (also sort of), so we decided to stick with Warwick Davis instead and watched the kids' movie, A Very Unlucky Leprechaun.  Join us as we discuss Warwick Davis being typecast as a leprechaun, whether or not how-to book writers are "authors", and try to make heads or tails of the surprise ending.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

With Mark away, Dan and Anthony watch a weird children's musical that may also be an attempt to be a kid's show. It's Creating Rem Lezar on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie.  Join us as we discuss the songs, the significance of the medallion, and try to come away with whatever the point of the movie is.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

Gerarduary and our Movie of the Month collide this week, as we watch a Gerard Butler movie voted on by our Patreon subscribers.  Sexy Dracula hits the streets of New Orleans as a pre-300 Gerard Butler plays the titular vampire in the Wes Craven produced Dracula 2000.  Join us as we discuss how the decisions made by some sleazy producers which led to this movie being made, how underutilized the star and location are, and praise Jennifer Esposito for being the only person having fun.  Want to join in on the fun and help us decide next month's Movie of the Month?

America celebrated Presidents' Day this week, so we decided to watch First Daugher, the attempt to give Katie Holmes her own Princess Diaries.  Join us as we discuss how Katie Holmes stacks up against Anne Hathaway, the wild decisions in the third act, and question whether or not Michael Keaton did 9/11.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

It's the end of an era this week, as we close the book on our Valentine's Day tradition. We say goodbye to Bella, Edward, and Jacob, as we watch The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2.  Join us as we discuss how little Dan retains of these films, the crazy CGI decisions made for Renesmee, and talk about the wild ending. We close out the episode by with a Blind Ranking of classic Rom Coms, just in time for Valentine's Day.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

It's time for our January Movie of the Month, as voted by the members of our Patreon.  This month, we're taking a look a dystopian societies, for no reason whatsoever, and our subscribers chose to look at this trope through the eyes of Stuart Gordon. It's Fortress on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie.  Join us as we discuss Kurtwood Smith being a simp, Christopher Lambert's voice, and an ending that chickens out.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

With neighbors like these, who needs enemies? This week's movie is a forgotten comedy starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as neighbors at odds in the aptly titled Neighbors from 1981.  Join us as we discuss the swapped lead roles, the vague references to the Third Reich, and how the characters interact with each other.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

It's January and is there a better way to celebrate the bitter cold months than to watch Norm of the North on its tenth anniversary? Yes, but we did it anyway.  Join us as we discuss how the animation compares to its contemporaries, how Rob Schneider's voice sounds for a polar bear, and the idiocy of characters that we're suppose to empathize with.  Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.

We're back in the new year with an all-timer. Paul Walker doesn't let the fact that his body is a mechanical dinosaur stop him from falling in love with Denise Richards.
