I Finally Watched...

We end our parody month with a mockumentary focused on pop idol Connor4Real played by Andy Samberg in this off the wall comedy that is actually quite solid! We also realized that most if not all our all parodies contain in one form or another a musical element, which was completely accidental! ENJOY!

Continuing our parody month with MacGruber (2010) and to add even more connection with these films, we also continue our parody with Val Kilmer "week" Its fun to see Kilmer's evolution in comedy and hope you guys enjoy this weeks episode!

Top Secret! (1984) blends Cold War spy thrills with Elvis-style musical parody as naive American rock star Nick Rivers stumbles into a web of espionage while performing in East Germany. Amazingly enough this is Val Kilmer's very first film he starred in and definitely won't be his last comedy we do here on the pod! Enjoy!

The Substitute (1996) follows a battle-hardened mercenary who goes undercover as a high school teacher after his educator fiancée is attacked by gang members.

A mix of romantic comedy and sports, Bull Durham has it all... well, except plot! Its not a big deal though because this movie is still very entertaining and makes for a very entertaining episode! Bull Durham walked so Challengers (2024) could run! Enjoy! Music: https://jessejacethomas.bandcamp.com/album/want Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

Lady Bird (2017) is definitely one we've been waiting for here at IFW! Definitely one Alain should not have missed, however that is now remedied! But did the hype of this film oversell it for him? Find out on our St. Patty's Day episode of I Finally Watched...! Enjoy! (Also, did we make this our St. Patrick's Day episode only because Saoirse Una Ronan is Irish American? Yes) Music: https://jessejacethomas.bandcamp.com/album/want Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

Aftersun (2022) is an emotional gut punch that's so unexpected it almost comes off as a horror film, until you realize the demons were inside you all along and in this episode! David and Alain do their best in deciphering the emotional turmoil that stirs between the pages of this father\daughter duo on their vacation! Enjoy!

A fusion of a jukebox musical and original songs, made into a play 17 years after the movie came out, Cry-Baby is a fun one! And as Alain's choice you know Davids gonna have a few words about it! Music: https://jessejacethomas.bandcamp.com/album/want Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

In this episode of I Finally Watched, the hosts dive into a thoughtful review of the 2021 film The Green Knight, directed by David Lowery. They explore the movie’s haunting visuals, symbolic storytelling, and Dev Patel’s compelling performance as Sir Gawain. The discussion unpacks the film’s themes of honor, mortality, and self-discovery, while debating whether its slow, dreamlike pacing enhances or hinders the experience. It’s a reflective episode that invites listeners to reconsider what bravery and heroism truly mean in one of modern cinema’s most intriguing Arthurian adaptations.

Imagine a movie that takes itself 110% serious, however is still a parody... in a way! Brick is a self serious neo noir set in high school and it i8s very very good!

On this episode of I Finally Watched, the hosts dive into Annie Hall, the movie that more or less invented the modern rom-com as we know it. From neurotic love stories and fourth-wall breaks to bittersweet realism, they unpack why this film is the granddaddy of every quirky, talky romance that came after—and whether it still works for first-time viewers today. Funny, thoughtful, and a little existential, just like the movie itself. 🎬💔 Music: https://jessejacethomas.bandcamp.com/album/want Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr

In this episode of I Finally Watched…, the hosts kick off their In Memoriam Month by revisiting Sidney Pollack’s 1975 political thriller Three Days of the Condor. They break down the film’s paranoid tone, slow-burn suspense, and Cold War anxieties, while discussing why Robert Redford’s understated performance as an unwitting CIA analyst remains so effective. The conversation then shifts to a reflection on Redford’s career and cultural impact following his death, highlighting how Condor fits into his legacy as both a movie star and a defining figure of 1970s American cinema.

Gene Hackman was a great actor and we hope he rests in peace! The French Connection is a great film with a shady protagonist and that's why we love it! Also, how many films has one of the characters named Alain! I Finally Watched's Alain was very excited! We hope you enjoy our continuation of our In Memoriam Month!

Ending the year right! With a classic Rom Com! Let me ask you; What is your Mount Rushmore of Romantic Comedies? Have we reviewed them on the pod? And does You've Got Mail rank?
