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.

'Frogman,' 'Monkey Man,' 'Late Night with the Devil,' and 'The Night of the Hunter' + Hollywood Remakes Discussion

April 11, 2024 • Ken Palmer • Episode 36

Frogman (2023), Monkey Man (2024), Late Night with the Devil (2023), and the haunting The Night of the Hunter (1955) all get covered on this episode of I Watch More Movies Than You! We have four movie reviews this week, all spoiler free except for the deep dive into what is regarded as the greatest American film of all time, The Night of the Hunter.

Frogman is the latest found footage cryptic film to be circulating the interwebs, and we couldn't be more stoked to have watched this flick and now get to share our thoughts on it, the found footage genre, and cryptids- FUN!

Monkey Man was saved by the great Jordan Peele from Netflix obscurity and now graces our silver screens! Dev Patel's directorial debut is one you do NOT want to miss, so go ahead and hit play and let Bobby walk you through a spoiler free review of the latest stylized revenge action picture that will leave you HYPED!

Late Night with the Devil is up next, directed by Cameron and Colin Cairnes and starring the lovable Mr. David Dastmalchian as a younger Johnny Carson on a Halloween night in 1977. This movie is is entirely a late night show from the 70s and we are dropped in on a host who's past is dripped in tragedy, his ratings are falling, and he needs one gigantic, unforgettable night to launch him back to stardom. The question is, would you trade your soul!? Seriously, give our review a listen and then go watch this film ASAP- you have never seen anything like it. HORROR IS THRIVING!

Last but CERTAINLY not least, Charles Laughton's only directorial attempt ever, The Night of the Hunter. Starring robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and the silent-film star Lillian Gish, you are dropped in on an incredibly charismatic self-proclaimed preacher and one of the most haunting stories you shall ever encounter. Unforgettable photography, too dark of a story for the era it released, and a heavily German Expressionism styled film that all are woven together to create a child's nightmare, but a cinematic masterpiece. Come with us as we journey through it and decide whether or not we believe this film to be worthy of the title of the greatest American movie of all time, and the tragedy that was the director never got his flowers this side of the grave.

We also briefly discuss Hollywood remakes, in light of Scott Derrickson and writing partner Robert Cargill taking on the gargantuan task of remaking The Night of the Hunter. I BELIEVE IN THEM! Comment with a 5-star review the best remake that you believe has ever been made!

And if you enjoyed spending time with us and watching movies, would you care to leave us a SMASHING 5-star REVIEW?! We'd greatly appreciate it, and we greatly appreciate YOU, film lovers!
