I Watch More Movies Than You

We review 3 movies every episode and we release weekly! New episode every Tuesday at 8am EST! One movie is a new theatrical release, one film is always a HORROR movie, and then the third is a classic movie deep dive! Oscar movies covered during Oscar season! Welcome to I WATCH MORE MOVIES THAN YOU , and please take that as a challenge. What else on earth can you spend 10 bucks and then leave the planet for 2 hours !? Only movies. Come join us as we experience, explore, and journey through the greatest art form in history.I run a movie theater, a film exhibitor if you will! And my cohost sells insurance (and a published author), but what separates us? WE WATCH MORE MOVIES THAN YOU! More than one a day, think you got us beat!? Doubtful. But we would love to have you come along as we journey throughout the greatest artform in history, cinema!We are going through the process of watching movies, discussing their ins, outs, themes, cinematography, directors, actors, how the film made us FEEL. And we are reading books on movie critique and review, while just laughing our way through the podcast and having a blast. So come and let's talk cinema together, and even grow and learn in our movie critique, discussion, and review repertoire. I truly believe deep diving into movies and reviewing films only creates a deeper fascination with this beautiful artform. This is a movie review podcast for the person searching for people that do not take themselves serious, enjoy laughing, comedy, self(cohost)-deprecating humor, and deep and fantastical movie discussions.Movies are magic, and they make up the very fabric of my DNA, so I would love the chance for you to come and nerd out with us as we watch as many as humanly possible and then talk about them- what's better than that!? That is how I'd like to spend my time on this rock.

Summer Movie Showdown: Meg 2: The Trench, Jaws (1975), Underwater (2020)

August 08, 2023 • Ken Palmer • Episode 25

Meg 2: The Trench spoiler-free review! Jason Statham is back fresh off of punching a MEGALADON in the face, can the sequel deliver the big fish on the big screen again!? Listen and find out!

THE summer blockbuster, Jaws! With two musical notes 57 million people were petrified in the US in 1975, and the ocean has been feared ever since. We take a deep dive, pun, into Steven Spielberg's accidental masterpiece as we explore the best summer movie of all time, 'Jaws.'

Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Drefuss gave us an unforgettable crew out on the Atlantic as Amity Island is under attack from a beast from the deep. Simple enough logline, but an incredible picture. Rob and I explore why Jaws is still rememberd to this day, from the lore of the set, to the breaking down of the infamous shark Bruce, and to the drunken monologues of Robert Shaw (rip). We cover the ins and outs of this cinematic masterpiece and journey to just why this movie is so effective and how it changed the course of cinema forever!

Last but certainly not least, a hidden gem from January of all months, 2020, right before the world shut down.. Underwater (2020)! Directed by William Eubank and starring the fantastic Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassel, Mamoudou Athie, we following a crew of oceanic researchers working at a deep sea drilling company over 7 miles deep at the center of the Mariana Trench as an earthquake devastates their facilities and they are in a race for their lives as they have to travel deeper and deeper looking for working escape pods. As if being in a race against their own fate isn't enough, there is something far more sinister than the earthquake to contend with.. and older. Ancient, even.

DO NOT MISS UNDERWATER! It was dropped into January before the pandemic never to be seen again, but don't make that mistake! Watch Underwater now and listen to us deep dive, pun again, into this terrifying ocean surface sea-creature thriller the likes you have NEVER seen before, trust me! The last 5 minutes of this movie is my favorite in recent cinema history!! It's that insane, go watch it now- you won't regret it!

And please consider leaving us a 5-star review and sharing us with your friends and family, we'd truly appreciate it! You guys are rockstars, thanks so much for coming along for the ride as we explore the greatest artform in history- movies!
