  Oct 2, 20261h 5m

  What happens when a sleepy California beach town becomes a haven for vampires? In this episode of So I Married a Film Critic , we’re sinking our teeth into the 1987 classic The Lost Boys . Starring Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, and Jamie Gertz, The Lost Boys blends horror, comedy, teen drama, and pure 1980s nostalgia into one seriously entertaining vampire movie. We’re talking Santa Carla, the Frog Brothers, the soundtrack, the fashion, the unforgettable characters, and why this film has become a favorite among fans of classic 80s movies and horror films. Barry brings one of the best surprise twist endings ever reimagined. Can you guess what it is cause now we want a remake! Join us for a fun, sometimes serious, and definitely opinionated movie review and film podcast discussion about The Lost Boys — a movie that proves that being a teenager in the 1980s was apparently dangerous, stylish, and full of vampires.

  164. "Backrooms" Movie Review: Horror, Liminal Spaces & a Divisive Ending

  Sep 18, 202653 min

  In this episode of So I Married a Film Critic , we review Backrooms , the eerie horror movie inspired by the internet phenomenon that turned liminal spaces into one of the creepiest concepts online, while also dividing our household. Barry loved it. Julia… not so much. We talk about what makes the Backrooms concept so creepy, whether the movie actually delivers on that unsettling premise, the power of liminal spaces, and why something that works brilliantly for one viewer can leave another completely cold. And then there’s the ending — can anyone make sense of it? Are we still in the backrooms right now? What does your backrooms doppleganger look like? Wait until you hear Barry's description! (That might be scarier than this movie!) Listen as a film critic and his wife disagree yet again — because apparently, marriage means watching movies you don't even like.

  163. Body Heat (1981): Kathleen Turner, William Hurt & the Ultimate Neo-Noir

  Sep 4, 20261h 1m

  This week on So I Married a Film Critic , we turn up the heat with Lawrence Kasdan’s steamy 1981 neo-noir Body Heat , starring Kathleen Turner and William Hurt. We both loved this sexy, suspenseful classic—but Barry’s love for Kathleen Turner may be just a little more enthusiastic than Julia’s as emphasized by the many windchime references. IYKYK! We talk about what makes Body Heat such an enduring erotic thriller , from Kathleen Turner’s unforgettable breakthrough performance as the seductive Matty Walker to William Hurt’s overly sweaty, morally questionable Ned Racine. We dig into the film’s twists, chemistry, cinematography, dialogue, and its clever reworking of classic film noir conventions. Is Body Heat one of the best erotic thrillers of the 1980s? Has Kathleen Turner ever been more magnetic? And just how much trouble can one man get himself into when he falls for the wrong woman? Join us for a fun conversation about Body Heat, Kathleen Turner, William Hurt, 1980s movies, neo-noir, film noir, erotic thrillers, classic movies, and what makes a movie impossible to resist.

  162. Point Break (1991)

  Aug 21, 202656 min

  We discuss the definitive surfing, sky diving, and bank robbing movie, Point Break, from Oscar Winning Director Kathryn Bigelow. Is Keanu Reeves perfect for this role or have our opinions about him changed over the years? Would you join a surfing/bank robbing cult if Bodhi was the leader? Hear our sequel ideas, our thoughts on the sexual politics and why this movie shouldn't have been as good as it is. So if you see any surfing, skydiving, bank robbing movie, make sure it's this one.

  161. Disclosure Day

  Aug 7, 20261h 5m

  This was the movie that was supposed to change everything! Life on Earth was never going to be the same after this movie! Instead, we get Emily Blunt having a Dr. Doolittle relationship with animals, a glowing phallic stick of extraterrestrial origins and an unveiling of footage less scary than anything currently on Instagram. Barry and Julia talk about this Spielberg film, compare it to his extraordinary body of work, and try to find enthusiasm for an alien movie less exciting than "MAC and Me."
