I know, you guys. It’s been way too long between Trading Movies episodes. But here it is at last! I must warn you, the sound quality of this episode is in the toilet so you just have to bear with us for this one. The microphone was on the wrong setting. But next week’s is going to sound so good you’ll be frightened!
This week Maria and Craig dive into the world of the Romantic Comedy with two HILARIOUS movies. Maria gives Craig “The Switch” and Craig gives Maria “My Man Godfrey.” Can you imagine?!
For those of you who are leery of my affinity for “The Switch,” here is an article from Entertainment Weekly Magazine defending the movie as I have been trying to do for the last couple of months.
We are also working on an official theme song for the podcast that should be finished in a couple of weeks. We are hoping to start putting out the podcast on a more regular basis and on a set day and time. More information on that to come!
This week we have our two contest winners in the studio (Amanda’s couch) to talk about their favorite movie picks! Brandon Barrick talks about the Robert Downey Jr. film, “Heart and Souls” while Greg Castle discusses the cult classic “Phantom of the Paradise.”
This week is our special KID JERKERS episode where we watch movies about kids that just happen to be tear jerkers. Craig picks the Louis Malle film “Au Revoir Les Enfants” and Maria picks “My Girl.”
A couple of weeks ago we were talking about “On the Waterfront” and “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Craig brought up how Elia Kazan was demonized by many in Hollywood after he gave Senator McCarthy’s committee the names of eight alleged communists. Here is the video of Kazan receiving the honorary Oscar in 1999. Some people stand and some do not but the funniest image is of Ed Harris and his wife.
This week it’s our double feature episode. Both Maria and Craig picked two movies for the other to watch. Things get pretty crazy this episode when a very special guest stops by (none other than Mr. Brando himself).
We also announce the winners of the first ever Trading Movies contest!! We had so many awesome submissions but were only able to pick twowinners. We picked them randomly so anyone who thinks it was rigged is wrong. The winners of the contest get to be guests on Trading Movies and they’ll get to trade their very own favorite movies which neither Maria or Craig has seen!!! IS ANYONE FLIPPING OUT YET?!?
Please feel free to contact us any time atTradingMovies@gmail.comand don’t forget that Amanda loves to answer questions so send over a question for her whether it’s personal or general and she will answer on the air as her alter ego, Dr. Lund.
