This week on We Interrupt This Movie, the lads return to the rain-soaked, neon-drenched world of Blade Runner with Denis Villeneuve’s stunning 2017 sequel, Blade Runner 2049. Ryan Gosling stars as K, a blade runner whose latest assignment uncovers a long-buried secret that could change everything humans and replicants thought they knew about themselves—and eventually leads him to a very grumpy Harrison Ford hiding out in Las Vegas. We dig into Roger Deakins’ extraordinary cinematography, Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch’s thunderous score, the film’s themes of memory, identity and what it means to be human, and the nearly impossible task of following one of the most influential science-fiction films ever made.Hosted by Tage Sickler and Steve Teasdale.

This week, the lads are turning back the clock — way back — as We Interrupt This Movie ventures into the 1930s for the first time with Charlie Chaplin’s 1936 classic, Modern Times. Join us as we discuss Chaplin’s final outing as the Little Tramp, the film’s incredible physical comedy, its satire of work and technology, and whether a movie made in 1936 can still make three guys with a podcast laugh in 2026 (spoiler - one of us enjoys this film much more than the other two). So tighten those bolts, keep up with the assembly line, and maybe don’t go roller skating blindfolded next to a three-story drop.Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman & Steve TeasdaleTheme song and incidental music composed and performed by STIf you enjoy the show, please rate and review We Interrupt This Movie and help more movie lovers find us.Send any and all questions, comments and movie suggestions to [email protected]

This week on We Interrupt This Movie, we’re setting sail through The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s massive, ambitious, and stunning new epic—and we’ve brought along a special guest: Connor, the Telemachus to Steve’s Odysseus and a fan of the show who joins us to break down the film. We get into Nolan’s vision, the incredible IMAX experience, the performances, the scale and spectacle, and why this might be one of the most impressive films we’ve seen in a long time. We also somehow managed to keep the runtime of this episode shorter than the movie itself—barely.Hosted by Tage Sickler & Steve TeasdaleGuest: Connor TeasdaleTheme song and incidental music by STPlease rate and review the show, and send us your thoughts at [email protected]

This week on We Interrupt This Movie, the lads crack open one of the greatest adventure films ever made as we dive into Raiders of the Lost Ark— a movie that might just be our favorite Steven Spielberg film… and honestly, a damn near perfect movie. From Harrison Ford’s effortlessly iconic performance as Indiana Jones to the legendary action set pieces, John Williams’ unforgettable score, snakes (why did it have to be snakes?), and one of the greatest opening sequences in film history, we dig into what makes Raiders still feel so thrilling and timeless over 40 years later.Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman, and Steve Teasdale.

Send us Fan MailThis week we enter the world of Goodfellas and break down Martin Scorsese’s gangster masterpiece. We talk about Scorsese’s electrifying direction, the legendary needle drops, Ray Liotta’s unforgettable laugh and narration, Robert De Niro’s cool and terrifying performance, and Joe Pesci’s stature as one of the most intimidating tough guys in movie history… no pun intended. From the “funny how?” scene to the Copacabana tracking shot, we discuss why this film still stands as one of the greatest crime movies ever made. As far back as we can remember, we always wanted to record this episode.Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman, and Steve Teasdale.

Send us Fan MailPaul Thomas Anderson swings for the fences with Magnolia, and we’re here for every wild, messy, emotional minute of it. In this episode, we dig into PTA’s bold storytelling, the interconnected characters, and that absolutely stacked cast—Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy, and especially Tom Cruise, who shows up, burns the house down, and leaves you questioning everything (respect the c**k, indeed). We talk frogs, feelings, and whether this movie is a masterpiece or just three movies wearing a trench coat. One thing’s for sure: we will not be using the phrase “coincidence” lightly ever again.Hosted by Tage Sickler, Derek Wehrman and Steve Teasdale.Theme song and incidental music composed and performed by ST.Please rate and review our show wherever you listen.Email us at [email protected] with questions, comments, or movie suggestions.
