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.

Christmas Movies Hall of Fame + Top 5 Alt-Christmas Movies and Christmas Horror Movies
Join us for the ultimate Christmas movie draft as we crown our personal Hall of Fame picks and dive deep into alternative holiday cinema! I am joined by Sugar Bob, in spirit, to compare our individual rankings and debate everything from heartwarming classics to dark festive horror. From National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation to the terrifying Black Christmas, plus our controversial take on whether Eyes Wide Shut really counts as a Christmas movie (spoiler: it does).
Whether you're team wholesome holiday cheer or team creepy Christmas horror, this three-way movie showdown has something for every type of movie fan this holiday season.
Christmas Movies Hall of Fame - The Rankings
My List
1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - The undisputed champion of Christmas chaos and family dysfunction
2. Home Alone 1 & 2 - Kevin McCallister's double feature of holiday mayhem deserves the tie
2.5 Black Christmas (Original) - The OG slasher that defined Christmas horror
3. Bad Santa - Billy Bob Thornton's delightfully twisted anti-hero performance (check out my Letterboxd review!)
3.5 Jim Carrey's How The Grinch Stole Christmas - Love it or hate it, this one's a holiday staple
4. Elf - Will Ferrell's pure holiday joy in human form
5. Eyes Wide Shut - Yes, it's a Christmas movie. Fight us.
5.5 The Family Man - Nicolas Cage's underrated holiday redemption story
6. The Holdovers - The emotional toll is real, but this Paul Giamatti masterpiece might deserve to rank even higher
7. The Santa Clause - Tim Allen's transformation launched a franchise for good reason
8. The Holiday - The ultimate cozy Christmas rom-com comfort watch
9. It's A Wonderful Life - The obligatory classic (full disclosure: needs a rewatch for proper ranking)
