Subs not Dubs - The 400 Blows (1959)

Movie Brats, which includes Francis Coppola, George Lucas, Brian DePalma, John Milius, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg, is our series where we focus on the big gaps among these directors. These guys are considered to be some of the best directors of the last forty years and yet there were some major movies that Jonathan and Corey had not seen before. As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.

The movies are pulled from a series theme to help narrow down the choices. They get together on the show to discuss their thoughts on the film from its history to the overall production.  The series will always be at least three movies and usually go to five or six with Jonathan and Corey alternating picks. In between series, a one-off episode of Mint in Box, movies that they own but haven't seen, or Now Streaming, movies currently on a streaming service they subscribe to, will be used as a palate cleanser. On occasion, the show may have interviews or guests to discuss movies, movie news, or some movie-related topics.
