Twilight (2008) w/ Andy

"Hold on tight, spider monkey"


Andy returns to MoviePod to discuss the hit film Twilight. As Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's careers have hit new critical heights people have treated this young adult adaptation with far less contempt. This film always had its fans but the detractors have softened their vitriol. This is still a batshit insane film and our discussion is a lot of fun.

SEASON FINALE - Taylor Swift: Eras Tour (2023) w/ Andrea Wishart and Andy

MoviePod 1.0 is ending. A new era is approaching as the format changes next week as MoviePod becomes a podcast about reclaimed cinema.


On the season finale of MoviePod, I am joined by two Taylor Swift superfans to discuss Taylor Swift's concert film as was the Eras tour itself. Listen to this instead of Taylor Swift's new album! I haven't heard it yet but it can't be as good as a discussion with my sister and friend!

I know almost nothing about Warhammer. Braden is a super fan. On this episode of MoviePod, Braden guides me though my confusion of the straight-to-video film Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie. It's a super fun discussion where we talk about hobbies and in-universe lore.
