Forced to Watch: Ian and MacGruber

You've gotten to know Sam and Ian over the last six seasons of Time Sensitive, and by now, it should be clear what we do and don't like. Well, now we are forcing each other to embrace those things that we don’t like, as we continue a series called “Forced to Watch.” This week, Ian is forced to watch Jorma Taccone's MacGruber. Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

Everybody loves a heist movie, and this week, we root for lovers on the run in a wild ride modern Bonnie & Clyde story, evoking the 90s heist aesthetic, with a BigPharma twist. It’s Marmalade, written and directed by Keir O’Donnell. Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

Time Sensitive has a special episode for you this week to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the theatrical release of Jaws. That’s right, this episode drops on June 20, 2025, fifty years TO THE DATE of the movie that revolutionized cinema, introduced the summer blockbuster, and to this day, still makes audiences afraid to go in the water.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

To paraphrase Shakespeare, “It is a tale told by three idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” “So shall you hear of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts, of accidental judgments, casual slaughters, of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause. And, in this upshot, purposes mistook, fallen on the inventors’ heads.” It’s Grand Theft Hamlet, the COVID-initated, machinima documentary written and directed by Sam Crane and Pilly Grylls.

This week, we’re peeling off prosthetics, unpacking identity crises, and trying really hard not to cast our friends in plays about their own trauma. Is it satire? Is it horror? Is it a giant metaphor about who gets to tell whose story? Yes. That’s right—we’re pulling up a chair at one of the most uncomfortable dinner scenes we’ve seen since Hereditary as we dive into A Different Man, the 2024 surreal psychological dramedy written and directed by Aaron Schimberg.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

Bon jour, and welcome to the show. Ian is currently wearing a voluminous outfit that both hinders the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicates seating in the theater, and Sam is currently nude, as we protest the new Cannes dress code, rub shoulders with honorary Palme D’Or winners Robert De Niro and Denzel Washington, and dodge falling palm trees as we celebrate the 78th Cannes Film Festival.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

This week, we’re going Dutch… Well, sort of. The original spec script describes it as a “Hitchock-ian style thriller with black humor.” However, much like the titular town, in the words of its lead character Nancy Vangergroot, this movie is “like carbon dioxide. It’s so sleepy and comfortable, and you won’t even know you’re suffocating.” It’s Mimi Cave’s Holland.

You are joining us for another perennial favorite here on Time Sensitive. At the end of nearly every episode, we ask our guest hosts a simple question: What are you into? Even though this sounds like a sexual invitation (it mostly isn’t), we ask our guests to focus on a movie, book, album, game, podcast, or pop culture subject they are currently enjoying. But no one ever asks Sam and Ian what they are into, so we have decided to devote a whole episode to our own pop culture proclivities.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media  

It’s a subject we’ve covered many times on the pod with reviews of You Were Never Really Here, The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot, Bacurau, Promising Young Woman, Pig, Vengeance, and of course, Do Revenge. How could we forget Thelma? We have even covered a revenge flick set in India with the triumphant RRR. Needless to say, it’s a subject we know and love, but few revenge movies come as sexy and stylish as Dev Patel’s Monkey Man.

This might be the most bizarre film ever reviewed on Time Sensitive, and yet it is one of the most critically-acclaimed. Return to the nineteenth century for a slapstick, furry-infused, Elmer Fudd/Bugs Bunny-style, brutally genocidal survival film. Sam, what’s worse than an eager beaver? Hundreds of Beavers, directed by Mike Chesslik.Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media
