Movie Man Dem | The Modern Miracle of Speed Racer Come one come all to the race of a lifetime. It's an anime adaptation that some call brilliant, others misguided. A failure at the box office and a critical nightmare, Speed Racer has found new life in the internet age. We take a look and see if this movie is a cult classic, or a car crash.
Movie Man Dem | From Animation to Action: How To Train Your Dragon There were dragons once, and for the most part people hated them and killed them on sight. Except for the young Hiccup, who was terrible at hunting, but turned out to be a natural at training. It's a story so nice, they made it twice. We're focusing on the animated version, but Damian saw the live action and has thoughts.
Movie Man Dem | Missions Just A Little Difficult (Mission Impossible Series) We're looking at the best of the Mission Impossible series but it's not just ranking the movies. We're talking best stunts, best villain, best maguffin, and...best hair? Who came up with these? Oh right, it was us the movie man dem. You're welcome.
Movie Man Dem | Are Movies...Back? (Sinners) By now, most people would have either seen Sinners once, multiple times, or not at all and has that one friend who's made Sinners their entire personality. And you know what? They're not wrong for doing it. It's the blockbuster smash of the year, maybe even the decade, and the Movie Man Dem is finally talking about it in a giant sized episode.
Movie Man Dem | 108 Angry Men (Conclave) Ding dong, the Pope is dead. With the recent passing of the Holy Father, we thought there's no better time to look at the movie all about what happens when a Pope passes on. Join us as we dig into the dirt that these Cardinals have shuffled away, and discuss why Cardinals in Conclave have a lot more in common with high schoolers than you might think.
Movie Man Dem | Denzel Day Afternoon (Inside Man) 2006 was quite a time. Smart phones were a rarity, banks still got robbed, and for just over a month, Spike Lee and Denzel worked together on a pretty cool bank robbery movie. We get the inside scoop with a very special guest who spills the beans on working with both Spike and Denzel, on their upcoming film Highest 2 Lowest.
'Sinners' (2025) Review: One of the Decades Best? Ryan Coogler has adapted a gut-wrenching real-life story in Fruitvale Station, revitalised a cinema icon with Creed, and brought extraordinary levels of consciousness to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Black Panther. With Sinners he tells a story that’s his very own, and to do so, he’s gathered his frequent collaborative partners for the project, including wife and producer Zinzi Coogler, composer Ludwig Göransson, and even gets the two-for-one combo with Michael B. Jordan playing twins.With this dream team, Sinners tells the story of Smoke and Stack, a pair of gangsters in the 1930s, returning home to Mississippi from the streets of Chicago with aspirations of building a juke joint. For us, by us, they cry as they set out to create a safe haven for black faces in the night to enjoy libations away from prying eyes.Much like Coogler himself, Smoke and Stack spend much of the movie gathering companions. Their selections include their cousin with a voice made for the blues played by Miles Caton, a veteran musician with an affinity for alcohol played by Delroy Lindo, and a host of other individuals each one just as fleshed out as the last, with incredible performances behind them.What’s typically treated as a mundane set-up for an explosive second half, is so enthralling on its own. In truth, Sinners could have spent 3 hours telling a historical epic and it would’ve still been a contender…
Movie Man Dem | Dogma Is A Sin: The 420 Special (Dogma) Dogma is a tricky thing. A concept that deserves nuanced thought, that will encourage thoughtful discussion with detailed facts and profound observations. It's also the title of a pretty silly Kevin Smith movie, that is thought provoking more than thoughtful.
Movie Man Dem | Jack and Rose Went On A Boat And Fell Into The Water (Titanic) Last week we talked Twilight, this week we're going to yet another romance story that defined a generation. It's been 113 years since the Titanic set sail to fail, and 28 years since the film about it broke box office records, and captured the hearts of audiences across the globe. Listen as we talk about the making of the movie, it's impact, and of course, the legend of Aunty Celine.
Movie Man Dem | The Legacy of The Godfather This week's episode is very special. Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather is rightfully heralded as one of the greatest films ever made. Its cultural impact cannot be denied, but how does Lexy feel about it? Tune in to hear Bam and Damian have a mental breakdown trying to comprehend her take.
