Advertise on podcast: Haven‘t Seen It

We take a look at Logan Lucky, the dizzying cast of characters and performers that populate it (BLONDE DANIEL CRAIG ALERT), and where it stacks up in the extensive filmography of Steven Soderbergh. 

We find out if our shooting is a little rusty as we chat about Unforgiven, one of the best films of the 1990s. We have a wide ranging discussion on the brilliant character nuances and dynamite performances from the murderers row of acting talent in this movie, as well as a deeper discussion on Clint Eastwood's career and what this movie means in the grand scheme of things. What is Unforgiven ultimately about? All that and more! Enjoy!

We make our (semi) triumphant return by chatting about Young Adult (Charlize Theron, Patton Oswalt, Patrick Wilson), the sort of movie that is right up my alley. The resulting conversation took a number of turns. Subverting romcom tropes, cringe comedy, highly interpretable scenes, razor sharp dialogue, terrific performances ... this movie is ripe to be discussed and we hope you enjoy ours!

Matt and I raise our glasses and toast the 100th episode of the Haven't Seen It podcast. We briefly reflect on our podcasting experiences before diving into a little movie trivia game we whipped up that illicited laughter, possible ranting, possible thoughtfulness, and general revelry. We just let this one rip, and we got to talk about a ton of movies.  Enjoy!!! 

Episode 99. 1999. David Cronenberg.   Tune in.

Matt explains why he finds this movie so fun and I try to process what I just watched (it was also mostly fun) as we chat about The Wild Bunch, the balls-to-the-wall Revisionist Western from the mind (and the eternally damaged liver) of Sam Peckinpah. We talk about the production of this movie, the cutting edge filmmaking, and, of course, the booze. Oh, the booze. How drunk, exactly, are the people in this movie? We tackle important questions like this and much more. Hope you enjoy the convo!

Don't Look Up is the 2021 installment from the mind of Adam McKay and the route we took to this conversation was a bizarre one. But we do our damndest to tease the film apart, and also chat about why we suspect we had such different reactions to it.

We once again traverse into the filmography of Tim Burton by chatting Big Eyes, his 2014 dramatization of a true story about an artist (Margaret Keane, played by Amy Adams) and a con man/art maven (Walter Keane, played by Christoph Waltz).  Is that distinct Tim Burton signarture imprinted on this movie, or could it be more accurately described as a screenwriting showcase for Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Ed Wood, People vs. Larry Flynt, Dolemite is my Name, Man on the Moon ...)? What did this movie remind us of? What does it mean to have the "soul of an artist"?

It was an absolute thrill to be joined by the brilliant David Pizarro of the incandescent Very Bad Wizards podcast to chat about the classic TNG episode,"Cause & Effect". Temporal causality loops, the sensation of deja vu, Captain Kelsey Grammar ... and more! Go!

Matt and I head back to the 1970s to chatter about The Poseidon Adventure, the seminal "disaster" feature from producer Irwin Allen. You're trapped in an enormous cruise liner that has capsized. Do you wait and pray to be rescued? Or do you make a break for it? We apply these questions to the unique bevy of characters who try to escape the SS Poseidon, and their various (but somehow also similar) motivations for why they try to escape instead of staying put. Also, Leslie Nielsen plays a serious character in this movie. And that's important. Hope you enjoy!!!    

Matt and I take a plunge into The Man Who Would Be King, the rollicking and sometimes fuzzy and frustrating 1975 film from the great John Huston. You've got Michael Caine and Sean Connery. You've got absolutely stunning cinematography, depth of field, costumes, interesting material, a captivating premise, great talent everywhere you look, all of the ingredients are there for a fantastic movie ... so why did watching it leave our stomachs vaguely churning like butter? And on top of that, why did we still sort of enjoy it despite the troubling aspects of how its colonizers are depicted?

WARNING: SPOILERS ARE DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE Matt and I are once again joined by Kelly J. to give our instant reactions to The Batman. Our opinions of this movie were pretty much all over the map. What did we make of the performances, the storyline, and the story execution?
