Late to the Movies

In the thrilling conclusion to Big Rob Reinter (a whole winter month's worth of Rob Reiner films), the gang takes on 1984's This Is Spinal Tap! Ben, Gabi, and Mimi turn the dial up to 11 to discuss the seminal mockumentary. Directed and co-written by Rob Reiner, starring and co-written by Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer.

Big Rob Reinter (a whole winter month's worth of Rob Reiner films) continues with 1990's Misery! Ben and Vaz discuss the classic Stephen King adaptation. Directed by Rob Reiner, screenplay by William Goldman, and based on the novel by Stephen King. Starring James Caan and Kathy Bates.

Next up in Big Rob Reinter (a whole winter month's worth of Rob Reiner films), it's When Harry Met Sally... Bentley, Brady, and Patrick discuss the iconic romantic comedy from 1989. Directed by Rob Reiner and written by Nora Ephron. Starring Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, Carrie Fisher, and Bruno Kirby.

We're back! Kicking off 2026, this February is Big Rob Reinter, a whole winter month's worth of Rob Reiner films, beginning with 1987's The Princess Bride. Ben, Greg, Ray, and the Dread Pirate Robbie discuss the fantasy classic. Directed by Rob Reiner and starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, André the Giant, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn, Peter Falk, Fred Savage, Billy Crystal and Carol Kane.

The 50th Jaws-iversary rolls on as Ben and Sam discuss Jaws 3D, the extremely bad, sponsored by (but bizarrely anti-) SeaWorld, third film in the Jaws franchise. The events of this film are completely ignored by the fourth Jaws movie, but what events they are! Directed by Joe Alves and starring Dennis Quaid, Bess Armstrong, Simon MacCorkindale and Louis Gossett Jr.

Obligatory: Just when you thought is was safe to consider this podcast defunct! Continuing Jaws' 50th anniversary AND this year's Halloween in June (or maybe July) Ben, Brady, and Patrick discuss Jaws 2! Directed by Jeannot Szwarc, and starring Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, and Murray Hamilton.

Originally recorded in July 2022 (Big Steve Summer!), we're dusting off our JAWS episode to celebrate the classic film's 50th anniversary... and to kick off a VERY special edition in Halloween in June. This year's theme is Halloween in June - Part 3: Jaws Sequels! We'll be covering the whole series in the next few weeks, but in this episode, at least, we can enjoy the blockbuster film that invented the concept of a wide-release 50 years ago. Directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary, and Murray Hamilton and based on the novel by Peter Benchley.

Oscars Month continues with Coralie Fargeat's The Substance! Ben, Bree, and Sam discuss the surprisingly (but not undeservingly!) well-awarded body horror film. Directed by Coralie Fargeat and starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

This year's Oscar Month reaches its apex with the 2025 edition of THE LATIES! On Late to the Movies' trademark awards show, Ben, Greg, Jordan, Ray, and Robbie consider who they'd pick for the top awards in cinema, with some help from fan voting.

Oscars Month continues with Edward Berger's Conclave! Ben, Brady, and Patrick cast their votes for this pulpy papal thriller. Directed by Edward Berger and written by Peter Straughan, based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris. Starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Sergio Castellitto, and Isabella Rossellini.
