Now that Severance is blowing minds and winning Emmys, we look back at the film where reliable comedy director Ben Stiller first shifted into auteur mode. His ambitious adaptation of the classic James Thurber short story is a mashup of big ideas, clever direction, and appearances from people who you forgot were even in this movie (which you probably forgot existed). It was Stephen’s turn to pick a film, and his surprising selection proves quite discussion-worthy, both in a thematic sense and a technical one. It’s likely you haven’t seen this film in ages — you’re due for a rewatch! GRAB LIFE BY THE HORNS.

275 - Megan: Impossible - THE FINAL RECKONING
We did it!!! The Final Reckoning is here! What started as a silly project to expose Megan to the ultimate action espionage franchise turned into a rebirth for I Like to Movie Movie, and we could not be happier for the results. We also could not be happier to finally be out from under this franchise. We are now free. Free to wear whatever masks we choose. In this episode we look back on the history of the franchise and assess Final Reckoning’s role as not just the end of the story, but the end of a filmmaking era. What’s next for Tom Cruise? What’s next for Christopher McQuarrie? Why did the navy put its hottest soldiers on the same submarine? When did Luther fall ill? Is that Ilsa Faust we see?

273 - Mulholland Drive
Earlier this year we lost one of the greatest filmmakers to ever do it, David Lynch. From the surrealism of Lost Highway to the melancholic charm of The Straight Story, Lynch embraced a wide range of artistic sensibilities across multiple mediums. His work can charm, terrorize, tittilate, and provoke, often times through a single image. This is especially true for Mulholland Drive, perhaps the most accessible of his notoriously cryptic original works. Largely considered one of the best films ever made, Mulholland Drive is a magnum opus by every metric. Today we honor Lynch’s artistic legacy by doing our darndest to crack this deeply moving neo-noir thriller as wide open as can be (spoiler alert: it’s more about us than the film itself, as is fitting to Lynch’s modus operandi). Be sure to follow I Like to Movie Movie on Instagram and Twitter, and check out ScullyVision for more fun stuff. Check out .ask on TubiTV as well as Found Footage Finds on FoundTV. Fix your hearts or die! RIP David Lynch.

272 - Superman
Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the latest iteration of the OG superhero, and he’s here to fight for truth, justice, and a better tomorrow! Join us as we discuss James Gunn’s take on the Big Blue Boy Scout, starring Philadelphia’s own David Corenswet (Go Birds!). In this episode we dive into what makes this crowd-pleasing blockbuster such a success, while also investigating what made previous versions of Supes unique. Is the latest also the greatest?
