WTM Ep. 336: Purple Rain (1984)

We were once again joined by Zolly Becker to discuss the newest product offered up to the general public by James Gunn, Superman (2025). The first half of the episode we discuss the new film without spoilers, then Mulder reviews Watermelon Man (1970) to complete the movie challenge. What follows after that is about 45 additional minutes of Superman discussion WITH spoilers. There are a few tangents but we mostly stay on topic or at least topic adjacent and we pack a lot into this episode, or at least Zolly does. Enjoy! Our next episode cover's Mulder's birthday pick, Skatetown U.S.A. (1979). This should give you ample time to buy the blu ray, which is the only available option to watch it!

We're back with Wolfie's Birthday pick, River's Edge (1986). We were joined once again by Josh Hartnett's close personal friend Chola, and her husband Eric. This is one of Chola's favorite films so that contributed to this being another 3+ hour long episode. That, and all the tangents, including Mulder recounting a True Crime murder from his hometown!

We finish off our focus on Kevin Costner movies from our youth with the 1989 Baseball/Fantasy/Family Dramedy, Field of Dreams. With us to break it all down is returning guest Mike McGivern. Does the film hold up, or is it a corny, overly-sentimental relic best left in the past? Listen in to find out, and to hear about Baseball... LOTS and lots of baseball talk. We are now on YouTube!

It's Part 2 of our 3 part series on Kevin Costner Movies From Our Youth and Mulder and Wolfie are joined by returning guest Ben from The Searchers podcast to break down Waterworld (1995). We discuss everything from the Smokers to Costner's hairline, and with plenty of tangents in-between. Stay tuned for our final episode on Costner movies from our youth when we discuss Field of Dreams (1989) next week. Enjoy! We are now on YouTube!

This special bonus episode is something Mulder and Stu (from the incredible Midnight Movie Cowboys podcast) concocted back in 2022. We're both unabashed Disco fans so we decided to start a new series of episodes that focused solely on Disco films and the music in them. We did three episodes and they were only available on the MMC YouTube page, until now. We decided to resurrect the series to talk about more Disco films and I thought that we should make the previous 3 episodes available as well. I have re-edited them a bit to add some music (something that wouldn't really fly on YouTube). This episode covers The Last Days of Disco (1998). The 3rd and last episode in Season 1 covers 54 (1998). We have already recorded Episode 1 of Season 2 in which we discuss Thank God it's Friday (1978) and it will be released after the Season 1 re-release, so in other words, there's plenty of Disco content coming your way so stay tuned. These episodes will also be available on the MMC feed and I believe the original video episodes are still on their YouTube channel as well. Enjoy! ***REMINDER*** We are now on YouTube!

Mulder and Wolfie welcome Zolly Becker back on the show to help kick off their focus on Movies From Their Youth with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991). We break it all down... or at least Bryan Adams, and the toy line. Usual targets abound, consisting of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Zolly's review of Sinners (2025), insight into how Zolly uses Twitter, and much more! 1 Costner film down, 2 to go. Next up, Waterworld (1995). We are now on YouTube!

Note: Apologies for some minor audio issues towards the end of the episode. Not a huge problem but definitely noticeable. We're back with our Top 10 favorite films from 2024. This is a bit of a hybrid/recently seen episode as well because Mulder discusses a movie he watched recently (Wrongfully Accused (1998)) that incensed him to no end and Wolfie completed the Movie Challenge for Jungle Fever (1991). Stay tuned for our next slate of episodes on Movies From Our Youth. This year's theme is Kevin Costner, so we will have episodes on Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), Waterworld (1995) and Field of Dreams (1989). Enjoy We are now on YouTube!

I have re-edited them a bit to add some music (something that wouldn't really fly on YouTube). There were some audio issues with this first one, so apologies for that but the quality does get better with subsequent episodes. On this episode we discussed Boogie Nights (1997) as well as the short film it was based on called the Dirk Diggler Story. The next episode in this series will be released in a few weeks and it covers The Last Days of Disco (1998). Episode 3 covers 54 (1998).

Mulder and Wolfie T (finally) finish off this year's focus on Minnesota Movies with a look at one of the classics, Purple Rain (1984). This was actually recorded about a month ago but I wasn't able to get it out before the big move, so apologies once again but soon we will be back to a normal(ish) release schedule.  ***REMINDER*** We are now on YouTube!
