Welcome to America's least necessary film criticism podcast.
Each week, a guest will join hosts Noah Frank and Will Vitka to discuss a film that is at least 10 years old, that at least one of us hasn't seen in that period of time, and that, hopefully, at least one of us hasn't seen at all.
No classics, no bombs. This is about revisiting regular movies that we think we liked when we first saw them, to see how both we and the culture around the film have changed in the intervening years.
In contrast to the constant, life-or-death anxiety of the last few years, to the unyielding firehose of news, this podcast aims only to answer a single question with the lowest stakes imaginable: Do you still like this movie?
This week, we get horny as hell for the end of the world and welcome fellow journalist Ben Freed as we enter Her Majesty’s Secret Service with this installment from the James Bond oeuvre.
This flick is eerily contemporary in subject matter, considering it’s 42 years old, but painfully dated in other ways. Needless to say we get into all that, which hopefully will not land us in any space gulags.

Ep. 29: Where Is My MindHead — “Bowfinger” (1999)
Whoever said late-90s comedies don’t hold up anymore? Oh, right, we say that, like, every three weeks. And this Hollywood sendup, featuring Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, is a great example of exactly that.
Our guest who brought us this film is Zach Seidel, who made his name via social media platforms that the world in this film could not possibly even conceive of. You can follow him on Twitter here.

Ep. 28: Everybody’s Type — “Helvetica” (2007)
We’re changing things up a bit this week with our first documentary, the 2007 doc “Helvetica,” brought to us by musician Davy Andrews. Yes, it’s about the font. Yes, really, stop asking.
This may not be the kind of topic you’d expect to be worth the full 80 minutes of runtime that it occupies, but it’s surprisingly compelling and will almost certainly teach you something you didn’t know.
Davy’s got a new album and you can find his stuff on Bandcamp or Spotify or wherever else you get your music.
