Grierson & Leitch

Will's new novel, "Lloyd McNeil's Last Ride," is out Tuesday, May 20. You can buy it, and you should! You listen to this podcast: Why would you not buy it? Anyway, to further persuade you, his co-host Tim Grierson speaks to him about the book on this "People Still Read Books" episode of the podcast. Grierson did this interview right before taking off for the Cannes Film Festival: We'll be back when he returns. (Sunday, May 25, to be exact.) And buy the book wherever books are sold.

In our last full show until Grierson leaves for Cannes, we talk about the newest Marvel movie, "Thunderbolts*," and then we dig into Alex Ross Perry's very odd, very fascinating pseudo-documentary "Pavements." And then Grierson previews the Cannes Film Festival. We'll be discussing Will's new book "Lloyd McNeil's Last Ride" and doing one show while Grierson is in France, but this is the last full show for a while. So enjoy! Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or [email protected].

The biggest story in movies right now is the smashing success of "Sinners," but we talked about that last week. We've got three new movies this week, two of which are in theaters. The first is Ben Affleck's austic action sequel "The Accountant 2." We also discuss the A24 fantasy "The Legend of Ochi." Then we have Gareth Evans' and Tom Hardy's Netflix actioner "Havoc."

Will is back in Athens after his trip to Los Angeles and Grierson's kitchen. And he saw three movies when he was out there. First, it's the big ambitious "Sinners" from Ryan Coogler. Then it's David Cronenberg's "The Shrouds." And then the remake/reboot/remix "The Wedding Banquet." No big announcements this week.

Your two heroes are together in Los Angeles, the annual (or so) in-person show, at Grierson's home. It's good to see each other! We discuss two new movies: Alex Garland's "Warfare" and the "thriller" movie "The Amateur." And we have a Reboot, and it's a good one: It's the Coens brothers classic "Inside Llewyn Davis." Also, Will has a very special announcement, with news that actually broke DURING the podcast. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Next week, we'll be doing an in-person show. But this week, Will's in Florida, and Tim is just back from the HANDS OFF protests. Lots going on! Two new movies! First, we talk about the Naomi Watts-Bill Murray dog drama "The Friend." Then it's the game show comedy "The Luckiest Man in America." Also, what a cool Reboot you made for us this week: Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

We really love doing this podcast. Just wanted you to know that. This week, two new movies. First, the Paul Rudd-Jenna Ortega horror comedy "Death of a Unicorn." Then, the Jason Statham-starrer "A Working Man." Then a fun reboot from 1998: Will Smith and Gene Hackman together in "Enemy of the State." Also, a little Easter egg for you at the end.

We're back from our week off and we've got four movies to discuss from the last fortnight. First, it's the star-crossed Disney adaptation "Snow White." Then we've got a Steven Soderbergh jam -- another one! -- with the Cate Blanchett-Michael Fassbender-starring "Black Bag." Also! The A24 media satire "Opus" and the long-delayed (for obvious reasons) Jonathan Majors-starting "Magazine Dreams." Also, please don't tell Will who won the Illini game.

Grierson is at South by Southwest, but he had time to catch up with Leitch and talk about three pretty fascinating new movies. First, Bong Joon-Ho finally has his "Parasite" follow-up: It's the big-budget sci-fi satire "Mickey 17" with Robert Pattinson. Also, Errol Morris has a new movie, about the Manson murders. And then we slow things down with the baseball tone poem comedy "Eephus." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Was that the best Oscar show in years? We think it might have been! Conan O'Brien was an outstanding host, "Anora" won everything and there was the right amount of politics without it being overwhelming. We recap the show, directly after it ended. And nobody got slapped! We talk about movies too! We finally got to Don Hertzfeldt's "ME," the short by one of our favorite filmmakers. And we rebooted 1993's "A Bronx Tale." Fun show! Scary time. But fun show! Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or [email protected].

You have no idea how close we came to you not hearing this show at all. It's one of the longest non-Dorkfest shows we've done, and we almost lost it when Leitch's file vanished right after recording. Mercifully, he found it, and now you have a show. Late! But it made it. Whew. So, this week! We start with Osgood Perkins' follow-up to his hit "Longlegs," the Stephen King adaptation "The Monkey." Then it's the Hulu Questlove documentary "Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)," about Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. And then the last half is all a preview of Sunday's Oscar show, with predictions. Good luck, Conan. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

Sorry about our extra week off! It was the Super Bowl, and Leitch was sick. We're back, with three new movies ... all sequels, of course. First, it's Marvel's "Captain America: Brave New World." Then, hey, how's that bear doing? Let's find out in "Paddington in Peru." And we finish with the presumably final Bridget Jones movie, "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy." We hope you are holding up all right. Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.

Grierson is back from Sundance, and, uh, things have gotten a little crazy since he left. We talk about his Sundance experience, and then talk two new movies: "Companion" and the Steven Soderbergh film "Presence." Then, we have a reboot! It's Wim Wenders' "Perfect Days," from 2023.

The first two movies of 2025 are out! Well, the first ones we've seen, anyway. The first is the horror remake/reboot/whatever "Wolf Man." And then there's the quintessential Netflix film "Back in Action," with Jamie Foxx and the return of Cameron Diaz. Then Grierson previews the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, which he'll be attending and which is not in Cincinnati. Yet.

In our first show of 2025, we talk about that and then each pick the four movies we're both looking forward to in 2025.

Grierson's back from Cannes! But Leitch is somehow the one that's more exhausted. Before we get into the movies: Send us questions for a mailbag show next week! We want your questions. OK! So first: We dig into George Miller's prequel "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." Then Grierson gives us all his Cannes Film Festival thoughts ... including on Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis."

This is a solo show, kind of. We didn't want to leave you three weeks without shows, but Grierson is in Cannes, so we split this one up. Leitch solos on John Krasinski's "IF" and the simian sequel "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes." And then Grierson pops in to give us 10 minutes on how Cannes is going. We'll be back over Memorial Day, when Grierson returns, to discuss "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."

It's a big art/blockbuster movie! It's A24, so it's art? But it's a big hit so it's a blockbuster? It's so confusing, so we try to get to the bottom of Alex Garland's "Civil War."
