Making Me Watch Movies – Details, episodes & analysis
Podcast details
Technical and general information from the podcast's RSS feed.
There’s a new gold standard in film criticism, and it’s three guys with microphones and absolutely no credentials.
Jake is a connoisseur of Asian cinema and films that remind you what it means to be human. Matt prefers movies about deeply disturbed people—the kind that leave you wanting to take a long, scalding shower. And Anthony? He loves "basic" movies, the kind that make you feel like a red-blooded, flag-waving American.
Together, they curate the most eclectic, unpredictable, and undeniably superior film library (which, to this day, has never repeated a director—because we have taste). Each episode, they force-feed you cinematic greatness and then aggressively debate whether the movie was actually worth your time.
Welcome to Making Me Watch Movies—the only movie podcast that matters.
MMwM is a bimonthley (lol) podcast available anywhere that matters!

The Hunt (2012) Directed by Thomas Vinterberg
jeudi 1 mai 2025 • Duration 53:16
The movie you’re making me watch today is The Hunt (2012), a gut-punching Danish drama directed by Thomas Vinterberg that’ll leave you questioning everything about truth, trust, and mob mentality. Starring Mads Mikkelsen in a raw, heart-shattering performance as Lucas, a kindergarten teacher whose life unravels when a child’s innocent lie sparks accusations of abuse, this film dives deep into the chaos of a tight-knit community turning on one of its own. Vinterberg, the Dogme 95 rebel behind Festen, crafts a chilling, no-holds-barred look at how fear and gossip can spiral into a modern-day witch hunt. Join us as we unpack Mikkelsen’s Cannes-winning intensity, the film’s haunting visuals, and why this Oscar-nominated thriller still hits like a freight train. Is it a masterpiece of human nature or a brutal test of endurance? Let’s argue it out!

Possession (1981) - Andrzej Zulawski
lundi 7 avril 2025 • Duration 01:00:16
Welcome to *Making Me Watch Movies*, the podcast where we force each other to endure films we’d never pick ourselves—and then argue about whether it was genius or just plain traumatizing. And oh boy, does today’s pick deliver on the trauma.
This week, we’re wrestling with Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 nightmare fuel, *Possession*—a film so batshit it was banned as a ‘video nasty,’ features Isabelle Adjani screaming her way into horror history, and includes… whatever *that thing* in the apartment is. Is it a metaphor for divorce? A Cold War allegory? Or did the director just hate his audience? One thing’s certain: we’ll never look at raw meat, subway tunnels, or marriage the same way again.
So grab a stiff drink (you’ll need it), and join us as we try to unpack this unhinged cult classic. Spoiler alert: someone on this podcast is *not* getting off the couch without an apology."

Making Me Watch Movies - Halloween Special: The Paranormal Activity Saga (2007-2021)
mercredi 30 octobre 2024 • Duration 01:44:58
It's that time of year again! In this Halloween Special of Making Me Watch Movies, your demonic hosts dive into the ultimate supernatural binge: the entire Paranormal Activity franchise. Starting with Oren Peli’s 2007 original, a low-budget nightmare that redefined horror, we follow every chilling chapter up to Next of Kin in 2021, exploring the scares that haunted audiences for over a decade.
We'll tackle memorable moments like the infamous bedroom scenes, the nerve-wracking Kinect setups, and the "found footage within found footage" ...We debate the effectiveness of each film's scares, the franchise’s unique impact on the found footage genre, and whether Next of Kin served as a fitting conclusion—or left us wanting more.
Brace yourself for chills, thrills, and plenty of laughs as we rank the jump scares, analyze the franchise’s wild continuity, and unpack the genius (or madness) of Oren Peli's groundbreaking vision that started it all.
