Our Favorite Movies! | Imp And Skizz Podcast (Ep12)

[@davidfwooldridge3430]

The problem I have with this podcast is that I only want to leave one comment and I keep going “Ok I want to comment about this… no I want to comment about this… dang, can I write an essay?” This is a very engaging show.

[@GwendolynMC]

I feel the same way 😅

[@randiscribner6829]

Yes! So glad im not alone. I even say things to my phone in response. 😅

[@duvalfamily4605]

Agreed. I always comment before the video's over and end up editing and re-editing my comments, tacking on, "Oh yeah, and also ..." until they're so disjointed they make no sense! 😅

[@pinkyarnmallets]

Yes, yes, YES. Everything about this. Like they're your high school buddies and you're catching up on old times.

[@nasiskahn]

I feel the same way. LOL

[@Hashtag__Taco]

You ask for feedback and you’re gonna get it! This is hands down my favorite podcast! OUR favorite podcast. We really love the fact that it goes from serious to silly. You’ve given my wife and I another way to spend time together, and many more conversation topics. And no, neither of us remember what our first movie together was, after almost 15 years! I know you guys are new to the podcast scene but i really think you have something special going on. Keep up the amazing work!

[@impandskizzpodcast]

That hits closer and harder than you know. Thank you.

[@Judymoe]

My favorite recent movie is "Everything, Everywhere, All at Once". I laughed while crying, and cried while laughing. The mother/daughter relationship really spoke to me and my problems with my mom.

[@fuzzyalba5419]

I was thinking of that one too

[@thearichinson2241]

15 mins in and already I feel so alike to impulse yet again and now I want to rewatch pitch perfect again because I also love it

[@WolfButtercupMC]

Skizz, thank you for expressing your struggle with not being able to watch movies because you still mourn the loss of being apart of that world. I recently found closure on not being included in a project that was very near to my heart. Hearing you voice that struggle was a nice bit of “not being alone in my struggles” cherry to the closure cake. ❤

[@lilnintendo]

Society: "Who are these people?" Me: "These are my uncles Imp and Skizz. They are enticing, and their voices are comforting. Start watching their podcast, and you will become addicted." Thank you Imp and Skizz for helping me through some pretty tough times. I have some trauma and sleeping is very difficult; I turn your podcasts or stream replays on at night for a comforting voice, and it almost makes me feel safe, safe enough to sleep. You have no idea how much you've both helped me. ❤

[@ambere7622]

My number one is Sound of Music. Tied with Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and almost have every single line in each one memorized. And I think cinema has changed because society has changed and I think we have to have different expectations because nothing can replace anything 100%. I have to say the cut scene bit where you derailed Impulse made me laugh out loud

[@Ringohulk777]

All excellent movies with phenomenal soundtracks

[@WisdomVendor1]

"Second Hand Lions" is an awesome movie that for some reason never got the appreciation I think it very much deserved.

[@Ringohulk777]

I love that movie! Michael Caine disappeared in that role; I would never have known that was Alfred.

[@LynzeeLove]

We watched it literally every month lol. Maybe more. Loved it

[@keithgeorge5157]

Shawshank redemption is my favorite movie ever

[@AlatheD]

I love these "chill and chat" episodes. I appreciate that y'all put the thought in to come up with a topic you know you can discuss at length. Movies I love: "Princess Bride" '87, "Yellowbeard" '83, "The Court Jester" '55. I just realized the first 3 movies to spring to my mind are comedies. Do with that what you will. Also "Short Circuit" '86, "Batteries Not Included" '87, and gods help me: "The Ringer" '05. Batteries Not Included and Short Circuit are about as close as I get to chick flick movies, btw. Unless you count Princess Bride in that list too. LOL Oh, wait I have to include "Labyrinth" '86. That one really means something to me. It spoke to me in a way I'm still not sure I get about 30 years later. And it has one of my all time favorite love songs, which most people won't consider a love song.

[@1maryposa]

Two of my all time favorite movies are "Labyrinth" and "Princess Bride". i enjoyed the characters and music from Labyrinth but at the beginning of the movie where she couldn't "remember those lines" and then near the end when it brought them around full circle hit me soo hard!!! it actually changed the way i treated myself in this life i was forging

[@sirromap1021]

Same, I forgot about Labyrinth David Bowie was amazing in that movie. (I don't like him normally, most of his music is kind of meh)

[@jasmineanderson3292]

This was such a fun podcast! I’d love if there was a part 2 to this one!! :) If you wanna talk about music in movies, How to Train Your Dragon’s score from John Powell!! Oh my GOD it gives me full body goosebumps every time. And the story is just incredible, it’s my absolute #1 favorite movie. Animation in general is such a great medium for story telling, the creativity alone can be endless.

[@WHATisINaHEART]

I used to watch that movie repeatedly for several years because it was that amazing. I could quote the first lines of the movies with perfection for how many times I watched it.

[@kirfowler]

Every time movies comes up I always suggest "Stardust" it's got Michelle Phiffer and Robert DeNiro. It's great.

[@Rev_1776]

For me, the movie I “have” to watch when on tv is The Count of Monte Cristo with Jim Caviezel. It’s a great movie.

[@CMinorOp67]

Love Adam Sandler. His heartfelt song about his girlfriend who dumped him in “The Wedding Singer” is just the best thing ever. And, Brad Pitt! Se7en, Snatch, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood are my faves.

[@shadowanderson2004]

I have 3 number 1 movies and I say which one is my favorite based on who I’m talking to. If I know your a fellow movie and film nerd my Answer is The Batman. Even if you not a comic book nerd (which I am) the cinematography, lighting, editing, soundtrack, sound design, along with the acting and story are all some of the best detective noir I’ve seen in my entire life. Just the fact that they used a firework rocket to get the Batmobile engine sound is just genius. The other is what I tell people I know love worlds and story and that is Stardust. Every time I watch that movie I notice something different about the world around them. The third and final is what i say is my nostalgia movie which is the Count of Monte Cristo.

[@CMinorOp67]

10:35: saw American Beauty once, in the theatre, and liked it. Knew it was about never being too late to change your life. But I didn’t get the feeling it was about hope…probably because Lester got shot in the head. If anything, it told me, “oh, f***…don’t make waves.” Lol.

[@impandskizzpodcast]

First of all....LOL! Ok now as for the shot in the head thing; keep in mind he was smiling. The msg being that even though it would have been nice for the rest of us (the audience) to see him enjoy many more days, he indeed got it all back and lived "the rest of his life" happy. Dark and ironic as it was, the beauty of that scene cannot go unnoticed. And what tops is all off? Ricky....sees the smile....and smiles back. He understood, because he's always understood. The teenage drug dealer mentored the middle aged man on how to find himself.

[@CMinorOp67]

@@impandskizzpodcast oh yeah…I remember the dude smiling at his body now. I didn’t pick up on the meaning of it. I think I thought it was just weird, like the dude himself. So, now I need to watch the movie again.

[@hairagond4572]

Movies I go back to again and again: (1949) The Third Man, (1951) The Day The Earth Stood Still, (1954) Rear Window (with my favorite actor Jimmy Stewart),(1956) Forbidden Planet, (1985) Clue, (2011)Hugo, anything with Buster Keaton in it, most Pixar and Disney movies, (and any long or short piece with Imp and Skizz : D )

[@Ringohulk777]

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH REAR WINDOW IS SO GOOOOOOOD

[@NikolisKitchen]

“Holly, I’d like to cut you in, old man. There’s nobody left in Vienna I can really trust, and we’ve always done everything together. When you make up your mind, send me a message - I’ll meet you any place, any time, and when we do meet old man, it’s you I want to see, not the police. Remember that, won’t ya? Don’t be so gloomy. After all, it’s not that awful. You know what the fellow said - in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

[@spazbobstinkpants]

I am always confused/sad when people speak of movies from 80s/90s as "old." The crime/gangster films of the 1930s like Scarface, Little Ceasar, The Roaring Twenties, and others, are still worth watching. It is possible to like 1930 Doorway to Hell and John Wick. Also, North by Northwest, Some Like It Hot, Ball of Fire, & dark comedy, In Bruges.

[@michaelswells815]

Man, KZbin did NOT want me to see this episode! I was sat here thinking it's been a while since a new podcast episode came out so I searched "imp and skizz podcast" and KZbin is just like "you want the imp and skizz channel? Naked and scared, right?? What's a podcast?" I ended up having to resort to Google to find the right channel. I'm glad I did though! Great episode, I really enjoyed the way you guys break down what makes movies such brilliant art!

[@TheLilies84]

This is the first podcast I've watched on youtube. I've listened to your other ones through spotify on car rides. As much as you've made my commutes to work enjoyable, I have to say watching it with your live reactions makes it so much better. I haven't laughed or had "goosebumps" like this in a long time. Can't wait for the next one!

[@evolutionviii12]

Dude. I think we would have been friends if I grew up in AZ! My favorite band is Tool. I was listening to Tool, Deftones, Korn, Green Day, The Offspring, Dre, Snoop, Eminem, grunge, metal, country, ALL OF IT! Favorite comedy is Liar, Liar! Favorite movies are Clerks, Mallrats, The Big Lebowski, Usual Suspects, The Matrix, Tombstone, the list goes on. The first movie my wife and I watched together, on our first date, was Resevoir Dogs! You two are my kind of people! I think that's why I watch you both. I can relate. Keep it going, guys!

[@TheOneBored]

im 100% on skizz' level with movies and shows, i over analyze and can talk for days about single scenes and so glad im not the only one that gets "hype goosebumps" when the epic and emotional happens

[@peacesax]

I love having a "serious" podcast and then a goofy podcast. Hearing how excited you guys are about the topic is the best part.

[@CraigSirota]

Love the podcast! You guys have really figured out how to put together a good show! Especially the visual improvements since the start! Fantastic "cinnamon-tography" (7:53)

[@Ombby]

I was wondering if it was just me hearing things 😂

[@CressNT]

I think the movie that touched me the most within recent memory was Maquia, which dealt with the idea of what is motherly love. It was an unrated Ghibli movie, so I expected some cute fantasy, but it hit me like a brick wall and I was absolutely hysterical. I love it so much though

[@henne2k]

Won’t forget after lord of the rings a friend was like „so great that Legolas was walking above the snow“ and I was like „whaaaat???“ Check out Cube! Great movie. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 And thanks for American beauty. Wanted to watch that forever and just finished it. So twistet 👌🏻

[@LegoMiniMovies]

I love movies but I can never remember anything like impulse. I’m always shocked when people can remember specific lines. It’s a great topic for a podcast. Loved every minute of it.

[@HauntedKnight]

10 minutes into the episode and I'm already on a nostalgia trip. One thing I always remember doing during the Skizz Quiz was if I didn't know the answer I would always answer with The Karate Kid. And I wouldn't be the only one doing it.

[@NikolisKitchen]

Excellent call on American Beauty. It is my #2 of all-time. It's amazing how you recall the scene of Lester imprisoned in the work monitor and that you never realized it until you looked closer- on the wall of his cubicle is a sign that reads the film's tagline. "Look Closer." So much of life- and this is even more true in the age of social media- is way more than we see on the surface. It's legitimately perfect. Sam Mendes is incredible beyond words. For me the true transformative Carrey performance is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, also one of my best of all time. He is so muted in that role and so emotionally invested, it's just this perfect series of gut punches throughout. An absolute masterclass in unconventional storytelling, too. Great episode as always, gentlemen. I studied film in college and dabble in some screenwriting (non-professionally) and hosted a film podcast for five years, so it's always great to hear people just spill on their passion for film.

[@jessicadurn276]

You asked the question, "What movie did you and you wife first watch together." So I thought about that for myself and my boyfriend. He actually asked me to be his girlfriend during a "movie date." However, it was not a movie we were watching, it was the ZITS irl board game live stream. Does that count? 😂

[@impandskizzpodcast]

Ohh nice! We’ll take it! 😉

[@JF743]

one of the first movies that made me realize "Wow! that's art" was Baby Driver. It's weird, the main character "Baby" barely talks and the whole movie is filled with with music and the more you watch, the more you see how much the music Baby is listening to is shaping his perception of the world around him. It's also filled with great music and my go-to car playlist :D Edgar Wright has made great movies, I like rewatching them and enjoy it every time. This was a fun episode, but I'm hoping the next one will be back to being a little more serious, but not too serious of course!

[@auntiex5343]

Some movies I really like: “The Fall” starring Lee Pace, “Run the Wild Fields” starring Sean Patrick Flanery, “Tremors”, “Animal Crackers” -Marx Brothers, “Mirrormask”, “Jaws”, and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” starring Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra.

[@spazbobstinkpants]

The Fall is one of my favorites too. Visually stunning. People may know Lee Pace from Pushing Daises.

[@GwendolynMC]

Good topic today, love it. I got goosebumps just from Skiz talking about that scene from Pitch Perfect. There is a some many movies out there, there is one for everyone. It would be fun to watch an Imp and Skiz movie trivia night 😅 Also, Tom Cruise doesn't age because he is a Vampire along with Brad Pitt (Interview with a Vampire).

[@poppagoatmc]

Haha, me too. I get Goosebumps when it comes to good movies and especially songs. Those visceral reactions are surprisingly rare when I talk to my wider group of friends. Just thankful MommaGoat has the same reactions to the same music I do.

[@GwendolynMC]

​@@poppagoatmc Yes, especially good songs. I was a band kid in high school and there is no better feeling the getting goosebumps while playing. lol Band kids know that feeling 🤣

[@poppagoatmc]

@@GwendolynMC 100% agree. Band kids unite! Lol

[@Recabilly]

I've never seen The Big Lebowski but I'll definitely be watching it today or tomorrow. My favorite movie is Interstellar. I've seen it a few dozen times and I still get this sensation of wonder and awe. I absolutely love it.

[@SheWhoWalksSilently]

The first time I watched Interstellar I didn't like it much, the second and third time I was like, this is a masterpiece! This has to be in my top five sci-fi ever.

[@opalwhisker]

Man, talking about movies.... how to train your dragon might be my favorite (the first one, not the sequels). I've watched it so many times I could quote the whole thing and I can replay it in my mind with the entire soundtrack. WHICH-- i HIGHLY recommend. John powell was on something incredible when writing that score. Talking about incredible music pairing with the scenes in the movie, the whole scene with Test Drive playing in the background was the most incredible feeling... really if either of you havent seen that movie, please watch it!

[@GwendolynMC]

Such a good movie! I cry everytime at the end.

[@lady_gwen]

I also loved the TV series.

[@WHATisINaHEART]

I used to watch that movie repeatedly for several years because it was that amazing. I could quote the first lines of the movies with perfection for how many times I watched it.

[@zr7354]

I have several things to say because I also love movies tremendously. 1- As a 22 year old, 20 at the time this episode came out, I am surprised at how many movies that you guys talked about are movies I've seen XD 2- Some of my favorite movies from recent years for whatever reason be it the cinematography and art, story, or just beause it were funny are the following: Klaus, Mitchells VS the Machines, Nimona (a fantastic movie), The Sea Beast, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, the two Spiderverse movies, Ready Player One, Bad Guys, Deadpool, The Adam Project, Red Notice, The Greatest Showman, Alpha, Hidden Figures, the Dungeons and Dragons movie, Onward, Strange World, and The Boy and the Heron. A lot of these are animated movies as that is what I find more interesting, but all of these are really good movies that I have seen that have come out relatively recently. 3-Skizz, if you are willing to debate, I’ve got an opinion about Top Gun that a lot of people would probably be mad about

[@mcwheesus]

Not in any order: Clue - Tim Curry was absolutely brilliant. I watched this movie about a year ago for the first time in 15-20 years and it still holds up. Inside Out - This movie conveys the emotional development of a child in a brilliant way. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Tim Curry, what else needs to be said. Django Unchained - Jamie Foxx was amazing and he was still outshined by Christoph Waltz's and Leonardo DiCaprio's performances. Princess Bride - I had to edit my reply and add this one when I saw this movie mentioned by someone else. The most manly love story ever. Honorable Mention: Clerks 3 - While I wouldn't put this at to top of any best movie list, I am mentioning this movie since its new and Clerks was mentioned in the podcast. I enjoyed it greatly but the first 2/3 of the movie felt like fan service and probably wont be enjoyed as much by someone who isn't a Kevin Smith fan. However, the 3rd act is the best acting in any Kevin Smith movie ever and is absolutely fantastic. Emotional rollercoaster, which is weird when talking about a Kevin Smith movie.

[@christinavanhorsen7617]

A movie that hit me when I was young was A Walk To Remember. It hit me hard because I have a cousin who passed away in her teenage years, and all she wanted was a love story but was scared to bring anyone else into her problems. When I watch this movie I imagine her having her love story and it makes me cry every time.

[@CynderW]

One of my favorite movies is Hidalgo. It is extremely well done and Viggo Mortensen is an amazing actor. I love a lot of his movies.

[@junoantaresofficial]

That movie is incredible, one of my top ten of all time. It sucks that Disney promoted it as "based on true events" when Hopkins journals and his statements have been found to be wildly false.

[@fresher21]

I love these podcasts, just makes me wish we could all go to a pub, grab a beer and chat lol. They remind me of my community college days when I'd sit outside with the older folks and be enthralled and amazed with their stories and life perspectives. I'd like to throw out one of my favorite, somewhat recent, movies as well. It is inception (I know it's like 12 yes old at this point lol). But there's a lot to it that I loved. The cast is amazing, the cinematography is as well, and I felt like the story was fairly original, but also touches on those themes of escape and control over ones life. As well as, how what seems like a small idea can blossom into something major. Great job guys! I hope you keep these coming!

[@stengele13]

Big Lebowsky is mine and my brother's favorite movie. We saw it the first time when we were young and probably didn't understand the whole thing, but it had something that we loved. It didn't matter that we were young. It is timeless and we can watch it now and enjoy it the same. Many of my life quotes come from that movie :)

[@GodBroly]

WHAT!!! LITTLE NICKY WAS AMAZING!!!!

[@rayexyes8083]

Another excellent podcast, enjoying the mix of serious and lighthearted topics. I will check out some of the films you discussed as I've not seen them. Some of my favorite films are Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Boondock Saints and Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. Love many of the animated films too.

[@JulesHopes]

Love the goofy-to-serious switch the podcast has. Keep it up!

[@spidermandy310]

Oh thank God you mentioned Fight Club. It's my favorite movie ever, but I'd love to hear what you guys think of it!! I wanna hear more!

[@pinkyarnmallets]

I love all of these podcasts!! I love not knowing what the topic is going to be next! I would say that, I, for one, would looove hearing some of the BEST moments from your lives: funny moments, moving moments, etc. Story time with Skizz AND Impulse! But seriously, anything/everything you guys talk about is so inspiring on all different levels, and I never thought that when someone introduced me to Mumbo's videos a few months ago, this is where I would end up. Gotta love the flow of life!

[@comadustfire4795]

43:15 The Arrival, with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. Most people I knew personally said oh it was okay oh it was too slow oh it was boring.... I didnt get the chance to watch it til way later and let me tell you.... I was HOOKED! Watched the entirety of that movie completely fascinated and to this day I can't quite express what a sublime movie that was for me and I encourage everyone to watch it.

[@NikolisKitchen]

My heart breaks for Impy not having seen Maverick in theaters, because it is one of the greatest theatrical experiences I've ever witnessed, and I've been to a LOT of movies. Find a friend with a huge home theater and see it there with a booming sound system. Don't skimp on it, Skizz will attest!

[@rachelkoch8138]

Would love another episode of this! You clearly have a lot more conversation on this topic

[@TheOneBored]

favorite 2 movies is definitely gladiator, midnight in paris, and into the wild. all for different reasons, though one similar theme

[@dymonte_0397]

I definitely recommend the Elvis 2022 movie. It's done so well and the way they pulled off everything is incredible. It was so very touching. 10/10 recommend

[@Matt_8000]

He actually did what he said he would do. He put on a hat

[@whit3chick3n]

I stopped the podcast to watch american beauty and wow. That is a very deep movie. So many things to pick up on. When skizz says watch a movie, watch that movie. It’s usually a very good reason

[@DoughnutDragon]

29:37 I think that's a mark of a good movie that you can watch it any time after it came out and still enjoy it.

[@hermitcollector]

I was so ready to defend Top Gun Maverick but I'm so glad I didn't have to 😂❤

[@austinpatrick2682]

Anybody else wanna watch this again from the start and take a drink every time Impulse says cinnamon-tography? Sorry buddy 😜

[@christopherscanniello5491]

You need to do a part 2 to this one 'cuz I'm sure you have enough material! So good!

[@duvalfamily4605]

Agreed. Top Gun: Maverick was near perfect. You have to see it. Other good ones in the last 5 years: TENET The Endless Quiet Place 1 & 2 If you go a little further back, Arrival (2016) and The Martian (2015) are very, VERY high on my list. Arrival blew my socks off first time I watched it and ripped my heart out the second time.

[@nasiskahn]

My favorite movie is a simple one too that I can watch over and over Is "Ever After" with Drew Barrymore. It is my favorite Cinderella story. I love how simple and realistic it was. My favorite line that I like to quote from it is "Give me back my dress....Sir!" I love that Leonardo da Vinci was the Fairy Godmother. My second favorite was another fantasy classic "Princess Bride". I'm like Skizzleman and I love to quote movies and shows and Anime. I love Fantasy/Sci-fi. I am a proud Geek! You name it I probably love it (Harry Potter/LOTR/Star Wars Star Trek... I had a Trek wedding!) I would rather watch a good cartoon or anime than watch reality tv or sit com. It would be fun if you did your favorite tv shows too. I do like Pitch Perfect as well Impulse. I have great memories with that one and my best friend. This was a fun topic....We know you wanted to remember 5th Element... I quote Azez LIGHTS! All the time!

[@lextheap1638]

This may be blasphemy, but Spaceballs is my favorite Star Wars movie

[@cindyens2053]

Great podcast again, guys!! I have to say that I’ve never seen any of these movies that you mentioned. My movie selection and movie choices is very small and my standards are high, but I really enjoyed hearing you talk about the ART of movies. I’ve actually never really heard anybody talk about movies in the way that you do. I’ve never met anyone who picks apart a movie like Skizz, and it’s amazing to listen to him! My number one favourite movie is The Sound of Music. My sister and I have watched it so often that we can just about quote the entire movie from start to finish with the inflections as well!

[@andrewholland2763]

I absolutely love these podcasts. I love how the topics can be anything. I love how it is unscripted and freeform.

[@allymayblack9265]

My two favorite movies that touched me: interstellar and Jack the giant slayer. Two top notch movies with great acting, but heavy undertones. Consider watching those 😊

[@Enen-Amanita]

I'm definitely one of the younger people here, so I don't know all these movies, but here are some of my favorite movies! (most of them are Ghibli, yes) - The Blues Brothers - it's my absolute favorite movie, really funny and I always watch it when I'm sad- feels like it was really ahead of its time in humor, too, but i didn't exist when it came out, so who knows. - Princess Mononoke - very very good! definitely some disturbing imagery but that makes it even better, and i love the themes. *amazing* designs for every character, even (especially!) the non-human ones. - Kiki's Delivery Service - childhood favorite. i love the music and comforting vibes :) - Ponyo - I actually haven't watched this movie in years, because apparently when I was little, I made my parents watch it so many times that they got sick of it. We now have a Ponyo ban in our house. I miss watching Ponyo - Spirited Away - For the LONGEST TIME i COULD NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! it *terrified* me. but then i got past the fear, and i am *so glad i did* because it is a truly amazing movie, worth every minute. i adore everything about it, but if i wrote all that down, you'd be reading this comment for an hour. - Nimona - Yeah that movie. I really liked the animation, and it was funny and managed to both break my heart and warm it. you who are reading this comment, should go watch it right now :3 - Cruella - yeah, also THAT movie. i think it was really really cool from a cinematography perspective, and the moth scene stuck in the forefront of my mind for AGES even though it's been years. really, really good.

[@riuphane]

Just catching up after being out of town without Internet, loved this so much and could tell there were 1000 more movies you wanted to talk about. A couple that I was surprised you didn't mention are Momento and Phonebooth, both amazing cinematography. And for recommendations that you probably haven't seen, I highly recommend Princess Mononoke and Shane Acker's 9. It's a lot of fun talking about all these movies and I love the conversation specifically around how they've changed and I think one of the big changes I've seen is the quantity of movies I am interested in. It feels like they're coming out faster than I can watch them, and yet when I go to the theater there's only 1 or 2 at best. Add on the fact that I've got a kiddo whose too young for a lot of these movies and I just keep missing things, so my backlog is pretty big. Then consider the amount of other media (KZbin, Netflix, etc.) that isn't even on the big screen and I'm not catching up on my backlog. Maybe I have a lower priority for movies than I used to, but I hate missing out

[@briannotseth21]

The most touching movie I have seen in the past five years is The Resistance Banker. It’s a Dutch movie about the single greatest bank heist in the history of the world in order to save Europe.

[@impandskizzpodcast]

Ooooooh interesting.

[@gonzogamer]

I really like these episodes of just random convos, reminds me of talking with my best friends :) Would love to have similar eps of music, TV, etc down the line My top 10 movies if you need recommendations, I'm sure you have seen some :D 1.

I of course also loved this one, I now have a nice list of movies to watch :)

I love all the topics! I love the light topics and the heavier topics! Thanks for doing this podcast, I look forward to it every week :D

[@Blacjaguar]

It is so heartbreaking, working with coworkers that have never heard of Clerks or Mallrats or any of that series! I remember being young and watching movies over and over again as well, and now I can barely hold attention. I need to be folding laundry, or something during it. I hate it!

[@gardenshed6043]

In terms of films from the last 5 years that really hit me that I recommend you watch. The ones that immediately come to mind are: Jojo Rabbit Bohemian Rhapsody Knives Out Tick, tick… BOOM! All Quiet on the Western Front Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio And that’s just off the top of my head. Sure there are more.

[@sammystuffies]

Two movies that are my favorites are: Inside out- this movie hit home more than any other movie at the time, I moved across the us 3 separate times and the first time hurt HARD. I was around that exact age at the time as well, it helped me feel understood in a time I needed it most. Zombie land is one of the few horror movies I insist on watching over and over again, it’s a awesome horror comedy and I can’t get enough of the jokes in that movie!

[@Mysterybox007]

If you haven’t seen “Old boy” great watch, very twisted and dark but great story telling. Last 5 years the only movie that comes to mind is “Joker”, Pheonix was brilliant. Amazing cinematography and story telling. Instantly became one of my favourite movies of all time. Really hope the sequel is as amazing as the first

[@kittyfr53]

Started making a list when Skizz mentioned American Beauty - which I’ve never seen. Now have three on the list. Thanks for the great suggestions. Love the podcast - every week is my new favorite. ❤❤❤

I have so many opinions about movies you did talk anout amd movies you didn't. But the most valuable comment I can make is, I love your podcast. I love that you guys decided to talk about life once a week and invited us to watch. Keep going, we'll keep watching. -Boogie

[@sarahreddin9601]

man, what a good episode! i have a list of movies i now HAVE to watch... and some rewatch. my all time favorite movie is The Truman Show. I remember having to study it for English in school and i hated it. years later i happened upon it and MAAANNN did it hit differently!

[@Moonscale_]

I felt so called out when Impulse talked about people writing some of the movies down to watch it later lmao... I was listening to it on a walk on spotify and when you talked about a movie I hadn't seen yet and it sounded interesting, I litterally wrote it down lol

[@kevinfisher3508]

It’s a newer movie but the cinematography and underlying theme of fatherhood/brotherhood in The Adam Project is incredible! Takes a fun family action movie and makes it an emotional rollercoaster!

[@harlensmith3023]

Some of my favorite movies are Dances with Wolves, The Postmen, The Outsides, Ladt of the Dogmen narrated bt Wilfred Brimley. Love the podcast

[@catrionaabram1788]

Bit late to comment but catching up on some podcasts listened to this on Spotify yesterday and was in stitches!! The Dumb and dumber example is just like My husband and me ! Ahh he loves it 🤣🤣 please keep them comming they are great !

[@sambuma]

I totally relate to the sentiment of having movies or TV on as background and not watching as many great movies because of wanting to be immersed in them. Heat is one of my favorite movies but I rarely watch it because it's over 3 hours long and I don't want to just casually put it on, so it's a time investment to watch. Also, The Big Lebowski is hilarious. My friends and I used to watch it and drink white russians along with the Dude. Loved Flea's cameo with the group of nihilists. Final thought, Tenet is one of the best movies of the last five years. Nolan never disappoints, but Ludwig Goransson was astounding with the score (Nolan wanted Hanz Zimmer, but he'd already committed to Wonder Woman and Goransson managed to capture a Zimmer vibe while creating a score that was just amazing) and John David Washington was fantastic in the lead role.

I love the podcasts, I think it's awesome going from serious to goofy etc, it's nice to hear your input. It's a fun podcast and I'm really enjoying it!

[@thedrunkshinobi]

I find that memory works a lot like a google search. It won't give you any thing until you give it key words to search for. They can't just be any words though, they must be connected to the content you're searching for. In the brain different things can work as key words that link to memories such as sound, smell, or taste. So when one of those key words is run through the search, like a certain song, it can bring up a list of all the things that have happened that that song has been linked to in the brain.

[@Kapolio]

movie from the last five years that affected me was spider man into the spiderverse, I loved the art style and all the little easter eggs that were lovingly sprinkled throughout, and how miles was reneded at half fps until he's spider man to make him jittery

[@calebgames9960]

impalse's guilty pleaser is pitch perfect my guilty pleaer is the imp and skizz podcast

[@SameehaChowdhury]

I heard the thunder a few times and thought “is it thundering here??” because it’s very cloudy where i live right now. It has rained once today.

[@RxDoc2010]

Hey guys I know this isn’t about movies but you’ve mentioned finding new music a couple of times. This hits pretty hard, but if you pay attention the message is great. You’ve gotta check out Citizen Soldier. Another fun podcast and I wouldn’t even have thought about the length of you didn’t mention it.

[@Sakana_Ren]

For me, the film that was a turning point for me watching films was "The Station Agent." It was the very first movie I had watched that starred Peter Dinklage (of "The Game of Thrones" fame). It made me a huge fan of Northeastern architecture and scenery. And, Peter does an awesome job playing the part of a hermit who is a train enthusiast. Highly, highly recommend.

[@minuszero2119]

There's movies that I love and could watch weekly. And then there's movie I loved that I could never watch again because I don't want to lose the nostalgic memory of it.

[@craigcampbell195]

Some great movies that I liked that you both could check out were: Hot Fuzz (I could watch this movie forever and not be sick of it, it has great repeat value. I could write you an essay as to why you should watch it, so instead just watch it) David Brent Life on the Road (If you’ve seen the British Office this is a follow on from that. It’s a great comedy with a heart and the last 5 minutes I find are one of those goosebumps moments skizz was talking about) The Big Short (this is one I would watch without distractions, there is a lot that gets talked about that can be missed if you just have a casual chat. It’s a movie that is dressed as a comedy, but is really a low key horror film) Also Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels (this film is still such an underrated gem of a comedy. A dark comedy but a comedy nonetheless) And a good follow up from that is Snatch (different movie same director, similar tone, just absurdly funny so very good. I found this to be one like the Big Lebowski that I had to watch a few times to fully appreciate)

[@CMinorOp67]

In the past 5 years, “Infinity War” and “SpiderMan: Into the SpiderVerse” tied for my favorite two movies of all time. (Oh, and 2021’s “ZS’s Justice League”. Soooo freaking good!!) Unfortunately, Disney decided to destroy Marvel…so, the magic is now gone.

[@lornaparker32]

Loved this one! Movies and tv shows are my favorite form of art (with writing and dance) and it's nice to listen to you both talking about your favorite movies. Is it just me or every time one of you touch the table it does something to the sound? Like you're bumping into the mic...? (I'm listening on speakers)

[@jwhitely7]

I'm the same as Skizz, I have this strange ability to memorize things on accident like randomly commercials from the 90s will come to mind when someone says something vaguely similar.

[@Dekrewteg]

Movies geez the 1986 transformers movie hit me hard wen I was kid coz Optimus died..I didn't see it till i was 5 or 6. I got over it eventually. Soo many good movies watched growing up as a kid to adulthood man like gremlins or original ghost busters, one of my dad's faves Harley Davidson and the Marlboro man was good. One thing I really love about your guys podcats is they either bring nostalgia or remind me of times etc. Really engaging your audience a lot. Makes u feel like ur part of the conversation.

[@robertmahoney3148]

Yes my guilty pleasure is also Pitch Perfect. I was in acapella group in high school so I like movies like this. My favorite comedy is The Ref with Denis Leary

[@dspbird499]

You talked about the Karate Kid and the hype you get from the music playing. Another movie where that really struck was Vision Quest, young Matthew Modine before breaking out in Full Metal Jacket. Never wrestled in my life but the story was fantastic.

[@abigailmarie51790]

I know this is an older podcast, but I enjoyed the "What's Stopping You" episodes so much that I had to start at the beginning XD. I would recommend 'Imitation of Life'... its an OLD movie, but it is just incredible and may hit close to the content creation v family dichotomy you guys are experiencing. Its about a poor mom who becomes an actress and slowly drifts away from her daughter as she becomes more famous...she eventually gains some perspective on what's important at the death of a lifelong friend. Also feels oddly appropriate you guys DIDN'T talk about Fight Club... we all know what the number one rule is lol
