150. Jurassic World Rebirth
2026/02/06
Barry and Julia dive into the world of Jurassic World Rebirth where all the dinos are mutants and super weird. Discussions include: Why does Julia think Orlando Bloom is in this movie, what's so amazing about Jonathan Bailey, are there enough human dino snacks, is there too much talking, was there a dino love scene and is anything "rebirthed?" Join us and laugh along! Follow the show behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
149. Highlander (1986) - There Can Be Only One
2026/01/23
Your hosts Barry and Julia return for the 6th season of SIMAFC to discuss Russell Mulcahy's "Highlander" (1986). This cult favorite and surprise franchise spawner stars the French Christopher Lambert as a Scottish warrior and Sean Connery as an Egyptian/Spanish mentor. It doesn't make sense and neither does the Dracula-esque story. What works? The awesome tunes of Queen, clanging sword battles and quotable dialogue. We discuss how old Connor McCloud really was when he "died," how many wives he could have had and how even men at 400 years old don't understand women. Follow the show behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic.
148. What Lies Beneath
2025/10/24
The "Michelle Pfeiffer in a bathtub" movie is all Barry needed to see in the trailer for this Halloween thriller. In this episode we laugh about the next door neighbors, all the ghost stuff, how this is basically a Lifetime movie and so much more. Julia tells a story about an Ouiji Board. Barry tells about a friend who experienced surgery paralysis and remembered everything. Our love for this movie is clear but there is a lot to make fun of. So we hope you enjoy our Halloween pick this year! Follow the show behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
147. The Long Walk
2025/10/10
Barry and Julia talk about this long awaited adaptation to one of Stephen Kings novelas, The Long Walk. What is this movie about - the draft or a dystopian future or both? What would we do if we won this contest? We get into the logistics of the walk and if we ever think this could be a thing. Let us know what you think in the comments! Follow us behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
146. Interstellar
2025/09/26
This listener request was so fun! Barry and Julia talk about science and quickly realize they should stick with the character development of the story. They cover the father/daughter theme of the movie (don't worry, Cooper also has a son but he doesn't care about him), what it would be like to lose decades of time in hours, the idea of populating a new planet and cannibalism. (Just listen, Barry found a way to include that.) Follow the show on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast. Please send the show to your friends, like, subscribe and write a review. It all helps.
145. Tree of Life
2025/09/14
It only took us 145 episodes to cover Barry's favorite film, so here we are. Barry and Julia discuss the themes behind Malick's movie, the beginning of the world, dinosaurs and marriage in the 1950s. The conversation takes a more personal turn so even if you've never see the Tree of Life, you will still enjoy the episode. If you like this podcast, please subscribe and leave a review. It would really help us out. Follow behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
144. Legends of the Fall
2025/08/29
Are you ready for an epic saga of love, heartbreak and mellow drama?! That's the story of "Legends of the Fall" - one of Julia's favorite movies. But is it all about Tristen and his long flowing blonde hair? Or is there more to this story than meets the eye? Barry and Julia get into it on this one! Follow the show on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
143. Punch-Drunk Love
2025/08/15
What do fungers, a harmonium and chocolate pudding cups have in common? Barry and Julia discuss this Adam Sandler drama about an unusual guy named Barry Egan who wants to find love, meaning and unlimited airline miles. Join us for this blast from the past...er, 2002. Follow the show on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
142. The Tailor of Panama
2025/08/01
Calling Agent 69...er, um actually 007...actually...What did we just watch? Barry and Julia discuss the first movie they ever saw together back in college. Over 20 years later their thoughts have solidified over this raunchy James Bond rip off starring...James Bond! They talk about Borman's off the wall choices in this film, including a talking ghost character, unnecessary B plots, gratuitous nudity and how Pierce Brosnan's character gets away with everything. Follow the show behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
141. Final Destination: Bloodlines
2025/07/18
If you've ever been afraid of a random death, then let's talk about Final Destination: Bloodlines. Barry and Julia go into the lore of this franchise and how this was the first movie with characters worth caring for. (But their deaths are still hilarious!) They talk about all the gory jump scares, which ones are the funniest/scariest and someone end up talking about online dating. (Do you swipe right or left? They'll never know!) Would you rather online date or...it's a fun game! Follow along with some behind the scenes shenanigans on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.

140: Coyote Ugly
2025/06/13
This movie is UNBELIEVABLE OOHHHH! Barry and Julia breakdown the ridiculous plot of Violet Sandford who moves from New Jersey to NYC to fulfill her dreams and then gets sucked into the unsanitary world of a Coyote Ugly bar. Conversation includes what type of Coyote Julia would be, the surprising movie Barry likes better and all the chaos. Barry thinks 2 things in this film are actually believable and they hope the true story will one day come to film.

139. The Happening: Unintentional Comedy
2025/05/30
Barry and Julia keep asking "What is Happening?" In this episode they discuss how plants have declared their revenge on humanity, the ridiculous ways people die, the inept dialogue and what movies have done it better. If you've never seen this movie, you'll still enjoy the absurdity. For more behind-the-scenes from the show, follow along on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
138: Companion
2025/05/16
Turn your laughter meter way up for our discussion on "Companion." Barry talks about his annoyance that Julia guessed the premise of this film months ahead of time, what type of companion they would like to have and how A.I. is getting a little bit creepy. Major spoilers ahead on this episode, so if you've been wanting to see it now is the time. Otherwise, let us know your thoughts, leave a 5 star review and please like/subscribe wherever you listen.

137. American Psycho
2025/05/02
Before you go return some video tapes, join Barry and Julia for their conversation on the horror film, American Psycho. Topics include the original 1991 banned book written by Bret Easton Ellis, how Julia found the comedy in the horror, their favorite scenes and the thing Julia wished she knew before they got married. Comment with your favorite quote or scene from the film. Please like and subscribe! We appreciate it! Follow the show behind the scenes on IG @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
136. Jerry Maguire
2025/04/18
Barry has Julia at, "Are you that film critic guy?" In this episode, your hosts talk about the eternally popular "Jerry Maguire" (1996). They discuss all things Cameron Crowe, debate the painfully earnest dialog, comment on how a great Springsteen tune became an unceasing 90's ear-worm, and question if the film's eternal optimism holds up in the 21st century. And yes, Barry and Julia reenact the moment they first met (cue the Springsteen tune!). For more behind the scenes from the show, follow along on IG @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
