High Five: The Podcast is a movie podcast for people who like other stuff too. Seems pretty simple, and it is.

So yeah, listen now and stuff…….that’s it……..go away.
The TrailerTown for Richard Linklater’s upcoming Last Flag Flying has us incredibly excited for a few reasons. First off, the cast includes Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell and Lawrence Fishburne, which is enough to get us to any film on the face of the planet. Aside from the stellar cast and crew, Linklater is continuing his trend of creating years-in-the-making spiritual sequels (i.e. Everybody Wants Some!), but the…
For film buffs like ourselves, the name Yorgos Lanthimos is not a new one. His films The Lobster and Dogtooth made us think, quiver, cry and cringe and the TrailerTown for his new film, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, looks to keep that pattern going. Yorgos’ movies are a different kind of art, in the vein of Shane Carruth (Primer, Upstream Color), where everything is otherworldly yet horrifyingly terrestrial….
Darron Aronofsky’s Mother! had us intrigued early on, and we’re happy to report that the first full TrailerTown doesn’t leave us disappointed. Aronofsky has always had threads of horror through all of his films, but his taking a more direct route to horrify us looks like it will pay off in sleepless nights and us never allowing guests into our houses ever again. Who knows,…
Let’s get this out of the way early, High Five: the Podcast loves Guillermo del Toro, so we were on board with his new project, The Shape of Water, before we knew much of anything about it. After seeing this TrailerTown, we’re diving in head first (pun intended) into this 1960s dream/nightmare. When it comes to monsters and creatures, few do it better nowadays than del…
When Amazon first released their pilot for The Tick last year we were over the moon. High Five: The Podcast has a lot of nostalgia attached to The Tick property as we were both fans of the comics, cartoon, and marvelous Patrick Warburton-helmed live action adaptation. Amazon seems to be taking a mixed approach and taking what we loved about each iteration into consideration for their series, which…
Every now and then a movie that’s not a Summer blockbuster sneaks under the radar and gives us something off-center and intriguing, which seems to be the case with Dave Made a Maze. This movie looks like a weird amalgamation of Michel Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind and Mark Z. Danielewski’s novel House of Leaves, which is not a criticism in the slightest. Escapism is a popular theme in movies…
My G’wahd broh, this Stronger TrialerTown looks wicked good. Get your tissues ready for this when it comes out (you may even need them for the TrailerTown), because Jake Gyllenhaal’s portrayal of a Boston Marathon bombing victim is not only going to tug at your heartstrings, it has every intention of ripping them out and then strangling you with them. From the looks of this peek, Stronger has…
Sometimes, when we sit around and wonder to ourselves about movies, a question that comes up is “Why hasn’t someone made a good horror movie using the repeating day framing device from Groundhog Day?” Well, luckily for us, the writers and director of Happy Death Day had the same question and were actually able to get off their asses and make it. We don’t know if it…
Just like we were surprised and delighted to see how much we loved Chadwick Boseman’s portrayal of T’Challa (Black Panther) in Captain American: Civil War, we were just as surprised and delighted when Marvel released the first TrailerTown for Ryan Coogler’s full Black Panther movie this week. There are laughs, there are heart-stopping action pieces, there are tears, there are restraining orders. It has it all….
Here at High Five: The Podcast, we are hit or miss on Tom Cruise, but his new film AMERICAN MADE looks to be an exciting “true story” ride. Between a coke-covered Tom Cruise riding a bicycle to his “should have taken the Cadi’s, boys” delivery, we are excited to see what Tom can pull off with his portrayal of real-life smuggler Barry Seal. Before you make any…
