Here to recklessly inflict enthusiasm upon the world, "Make Me Watch It" is about getting people to watch (but sometimes read or play) good stuff because good stuff is dope.
The Brendans welcome Spooky Season back with open arms by recounting highlights of the summer cinema before taking a spoiler-filled trip through the ruins of Racoon City in Zach Cregger's Resident Evil. We also discuss Greta Gerwig's Big Narnia News, Season 4 of Reacher, Steven Soderbergh's The Christophers, new K-drama series The East Palace, and more.

Episode 75: "How to Wait Around Dramatically" Season 3 Finale - The World's End Commentary Extravaganza
The Brendans celebrate Episode 75 with the last of the Annual Cornetto Trilogy Commentary tracks. Before chatting through Edgar Wright's The World's End (13 years old this year), the lads talk in-depth on Coyote vs. Acme, mark the legacy of some recently-passed legends and the enduring power of 9 to 5 and Clue, and gush over the new season of Taskmaster.
*Note*: If you want to skip straight to the commentary track, it starts at 59:33.

Episode 74: "Live-Action Charlie Brown" - Hot Take Roundup / Your Name 10th Anniversary / Coyote vs. Acme
The Brendans welcome back Devindra Hardawar of the FilmCast to close out a hot summer with some hotter movie takes. Are Blade Runner and Interstellar really that good? Is Troy actually bad? We hash it out along with thoughts on Tony and The End of Oak Street as well as a celebration of Makoto Shinkai's masterpiece Your Name at 10 years before we end on an early look at the miraculously rescued Coyote vs. Acme.
Devindra's work can all be found at his website (https://devindraorg.wordpress.com/), on The Filmcast (https://audioboom.com/channels/4997224-the-filmcast) and at Endgadget (https://www.engadget.com/about/editors/devindra-hardawar/), and on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/devindra.bsky.social).
