Mashley at the Movies

Ashley, Matt and Larry close-out 2024 with two episodes where we review two new movies with one word titles. Listen as we discuss Babygirl , and Queer .

In We're No Angels , Humphrey Bogart leads a stellar cast about a jail break that takes place just before Christmas on Devil's Island. Soon, the hearts of three hardened criminals are melted by a family who welcomes them into their home. Will McKinley returns to discuss this 1955 classic, on our final 12 Days of Christmas episode. Thank you for joining us on this holiday sojourn! 

Ryan joins us for today's 12 Days of Christmas episode! It's set in a working class town in 1983, and the centerpiece is a family preparing their annual Christmas Eve dinner, known as the titular Feast of the Seven Fishes. You can listen to the episode by clicking below.

Aaron joins us again to talk about another holiday film. This one is set in December, as a motley crew of actors with barely two shillings to rub together attempt to put on a Christmas production of Hamlet . We'd never heard of A Midwinter's Tale until Aaron suggested it, and we're glad he did. Click on the link below to listen to our latest 12 Days of Christmas episode.

Zoe (one of the survivors of the first Yule Log ) is back, and can't seem to stop living in a horror movie (or a Hallmark parody film). The flaming, killer yule log is back, and the sequel is just as wacky as the original. We had fun discussing this new movie.

Holly Hunter plays a woman whose life is in disarray as she flies home to her family for Christmas. Home for the Holidays has a great cast and a unique authenticity to it, and Matt & Ashley talk about it in this episode of our 12 Days of Christmas series.

David Niven is a bishop, Loretta Young is his wife, and Cary Grant is an angel who arrives ostensibly to help out the bishop, but in actuality seems more interested in getting to know his wife. Sean is back with us, and we had a lot of fun talking back the 1947 holiday film The Bishop's Wife . 

Rachel is back with us to talk about another Christmas movie! This time, we discuss The Santa Summit .

A childless couple manages to avoid their families during the holidays, except this year they end up having no choices. With divorced parents, that means... wait for it... four Christmases! Aaron joins us to talk about this Reese Witherspoon-Vince Vaughn holiday rom-com.

Fitzwilly is a 1967 film starring Dick Van Dyke and Barbara Feldon. It's about a scheming butler whose motives are akin to Robin Hood, and the movie is set during the Christmas-to-New Years period, so we figured, why not? Will McKinley joins us to talk about this oft-overlooked film. 

Jack and Caroline are a married couple living in Chicago. For Christmas, they travel to Caroline's hometown in Ireland, and it's a bit of an adjustment for Jack. Justin Long is charming (as usual) in The Christmas Break , today's entry in our 12 Days of Christmas series. Click below to listen.

A series of vignettes about a group of friends in 1959 Baltimore, Diner is set during the week from Christmas to New Year's. Sean joins us to talk about this 1982 cult classic.

We kick-off this year's 12 Days of Christmas series by catching-up on a new release! Rachel joins us to discuss The Best Christmas Pageant Ever , based on the beloved book from the 1970s. You can click on the link to listen.

In this episode, Ashley, Matt and Aaron review the new cinematic masterpiece that is K raven the Hunter . Click below to listen.

The Roddenberry Archive /OTOY dropped a new short film last month. It sees the return of William Shatner's Kirk (among others), and has proved quite moving for a lot of fans. Speaking of fans, Matt is joined by Aaron to discuss this special video in our latest episode. 

Two American cousins go on an ancestral pilgrimage to Poland in A Real Pain . Rachel joins us to review this new movie.
