Husband and wife comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt take turns making each other watch a movie the other has never seen.Happy Halloween! This week they watched Lake Mungo, as suggested by Johnny Mocny from the We Are Movies podcast. Lake Mungo is a 2010 Australian horror/triller/mystery by writer/director Joel Anderson. It's a shame Joel doesn't seem to have any credits after this, because Lake Mungo, like the much more well known Australian horror film Babadook is an excellently crafted piece of existential art and storytelling. Alice Palmer drowns and then her family starts to experience strange things as they unravel the mystery of who Alice really was.If you have a movie you think we should watch, let us know.Join our Facebook group for more movie talk!https://www.facebook.com/groups/youmademewatchLogo by Martin Butler.

Husband and wife comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt take turns making each other watch a movie the other has never seen.This week, Allyson makes Mike watch 1997's I Know What You Did Last Summer.Kevin Williamson was hot off of reigniting fresh blood in the horror genre with Scream, so the studios were eager to see what else he'd written. He ended up selling an earlier screenplay "I Know What You Did Last Summer". Columbia Pictures cast a bunch of the hottest young stars of the time to make this a box office hit. Leading the cast is Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Ryan Phillippe, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. But is it enough to create an enduring classic or is I Know What You Did Last Summer another run of the mill slasher flick?If you have a movie you think we should watch, let us know.Join our Facebook group for more movie talk!https://www.facebook.com/groups/youmademewatchLogo by Martin Butler.

Husband and wife comedians Mike Bobbitt and Allyson Bobbitt take turns making each other watch a movie the other has never seen.This week, they make their dear friend comedian/writer/podcaster Samantha Rager watch Sleepaway Camp.Robert Hiltzik's 1983 Sleepaway Camp is a movie that scarred Mike for decades when he saw it in the theater at 11 years old. He was already watching horror movies of the day and had a subscription to Fangoria, but there was something about seeing kids his own age get killed in a slasher flick and the twist ending that literally caused him nightmares for over 30 years until he revisited the movie as an adult. Now Sleepaway Camp has become a favorite to both him and his wife Allyson.Will Sam Rager find this as terrifying as a young Mike did, or will she appreciate the silliness of it like an adult Allyson does?Even if they movie's infamous ending doesn't cause a scare, the ending to this week's episode will come as quite a shock.Be sure to check out Sam's brand new podcast My Eulogies Please where she hosts a variety of funny people giving eulogies to fictional characters. The first episode may be out now.
