Advertise on podcast: Stuff We’ve Seen

After almost eight years and nearly 200 episodes, Stuff We've Seen wraps up with one final episode. Bill from Queens returns to hang out with Jim for a discussion on favorite film opening sequences and great character introductions. Thanks for listening all these years. It's been a blast. Enjoy this last episode, and as always, go see some stuff. -Jim

Wait...what? That's right, gang, Jim and Teal are back for a special episode to run down all of the 2026 Oscar nominations. In this super-sized, episode Jim walks Teal through every category and they play a bit of catchup discussing some of 2025's best movies. Enjoy!

Why settle for one Pedro Pascal movie when you can have three? This week, on a surprise episode of Stuff We've Seen, Jim and Teal discuss "Eddington," "The Materialists," and "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," plus Jim fills Teal in on "Superman." And finally, to end the episode, J&T talk about that "South Park" episode. You know the one.

It's been a while since Jim and Teal have been on the mic, but we're back with a big announcement. We have a new podcast out now called "Fascism on Film." This new podcast series examines fascism through the lens of film history. Each episode is roughly 30 minutes in length. The first three episodes of season 1 are available now on Apple podcasts and Podbean, and you can find the episodes each Monday on our new site, fascismonfilm.com.  Also, on this episode, Jim and Teal play catch up on some of the big movies that have come out over the past several months.

Here is a rare mini bonus episode for everyone. We had to do a test of our new audio recording setup, so we talked a couple minutes about "Mickey 17" and then had some fun destroying the movie trailer for the abysmal looking remake of "Snow White." Enjoy!

Teal didn't feel confident enough to make a list this year, so on this episode he asks Jim to reveal his top 10 films of 2024. You already know "The Brutalist" and "Anora" were two of Jim's favorites. What else made his top 10? Listen and find out.

Jim and Teal have your Academy Award Nominations 2025 wrap-up, and a whole heck of a lot of praise for "The Brutalist." J&T recap all the major categories, and in between, they talk about a film they believe towers above all others.  This episode is a long one, but stay tuned for the final 15 minutes when things go hilariously off-the-rails.

This week Jim and Teal offer three year end films: "Nosferatu", "A Complete Unknown", and "Anora." Which film hits all the right notes for J&T, which film is respected more than loved, and which film finds our two podcasters more at odds than with any film in the past six years. It's all for you, Damian.

Thematics galore tie several new fall offerings together as Jim and Teal discuss "Wicked," "Conclave," "A Different Man," and "Emilia Perez." It's been a bit since J&T got on the mic, but they are back with this comprehensive, super-sized episode that is sure to tie you over until the next one. Enjoy!

This week Jim and Teal explore the wonderful body horror experience, "The Substance," from director Coralie Fargeat. In addition, Jim and Teal talk about "Strange Darling," "Woman of the Hour," "Alien: Romulus," and "Late Night with the Devil."

The cinema dustbin often contains treasures if one is willing enough to go digging. This week, Jim and Teal did some digging. They found a couple of oddities from the 1960s to discuss, 1963's The Sadist and 1967's The Incident. While not Jim's chosen genre, he stuck with both films and discovered there are interesting things to find in such forgotten movie relics.  Jim and Teal kick off the show with Jim's negative review of the new Salem's Lot reboot playing on MAX, and then Jim provides a brief summary of Joker: Folie a Duex. Is Jim the only one on the planet who liked this film?

Twisted Nerve, Winter Kills, and September 30th, 1955; what do these movies all have in common? Well, they're all hard-to-see hidden gems that Jim and Teal have unearthed to watch, and make you aware of them. It's definitely an odd bag this week. From conspiracy theory-laced capers, to messed-up psycho's, to dead legends, this episode has a little something for everyone. Enjoy!

Teal is back from his time off, and he's brought with him two hidden gems: Messiah of Evil and Targets. Messiah of Evil is a 1973 horror film (released in 1974) by co-director's Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, the two writers behind American Graffiti. This low budget film features loads of creepy atmosphere, aided by some brilliant production design, courtesy of Jack Fisk. It's currently playing as part of the Criterion Channel's Synth Score series. Second up is the debut film from director Peter Bogdanovich, Targets (1968). This film is part of the Criterion Collection, and while it isn't currently playing on their channel, it pops up on it from time-to-time. Jim and Teal caught up with this movie which is far more elevated than any movie Roger Corman produced has a right to be. Featuring an unnerving performance from Tim O'Kelly, and a great supporting role by horror legend Boris Karloff, Targets is an exercise in how to make a film great, even on a shoestring budget.  Along the way, Jim and Teal discuss the merits of Longlegs, and Jim rants about a recent crop of big-budget stinkers he's had the displeasure of watching. Lots to enjoy this week, so dig in!

Jim and guest Bill play cat and mouse with the Criterion Channel's latest Neo Noir series. How do all the puzzle pieces fit? What are the connections between films? This assortment is an odd mix of neo noir films that, at times, have Jim struggling to find the connections between movies. Can Bill from Queens help Jim solve the mystery?

When you reach Schrader Canyon, you know you are in dangerous film territory. In the third and final installment of Jim and Bill's look at Paul Schrader's filmography, they climb the shadowy depths of Schrader Canyon to unearth Exorcist Dominion, and the notorious Lindsay Lohan film, The Canyons. But just when you thought Jim and Bill were stuck in the Schrader Canyon forever, they find a way out with a late career resurgence including First Reformed, The Card Counter, and The Master Gardener.  With a little time left in the episode, Jim and Bill touch base on Criterion's latest Neo Noir offerings, and you won't want to miss the final four minutes of the episode, when in true Paul Schrader fashion, things go way off the rails. It's an action packed episode, folks. Enjoy! If you dare.
