A podcast from two cousins who grew up watching movies together. We watch new movies, re-watch classics from earlier times in our life, and cover movies/franchises that others may have seen that we have never watched. The question we ask at the end of the epsidoe is Do We like this Movie?

Following the #OscarsSoWhite backlash that the Academy recieved after snubbing black actors and filmmakers in 2015, we demanded more diversity in film. In 2016, director Barry Jenkins responded by giving us a beautiful, and sobering look at the coming of age of Chiron, a young gay black man from Florida who has to deal with being the target of constant bullying in his hyper-masculine neighborhood, his father figure in the form of local drug dealer Juan, as well as his mother's battles with addiction. The film, based on the book "In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue", chronicles his life in three segments where he is played by three different actors.

It is very rare when we get to review a movie that is so personal to us. This week in the spirit of Pride month we decided to focus on this independent Chicano film that revolves around an aging Cholo coming to terms with his son's homosexuality. There are several layers to this film that makes it personal to us, from the ethnicity of this almost completely non-white cast, to the city and neighborhood in which it's filmed. We actually even know people and friends of people who took part in the production of this movie as well.
It is also most important that in addition to just reviewing this movie we discuss several of its themes including Gentrification, homosexuality in the Latinx community, and even take a moment to highlight how important the Black Live Matter movement is to people in the Hispanic community who are also victims of police brutality. We hope you enjoy this both more serious and personal episode of the show. As our main character would say stay Brown; and Since we're neighbors, lets be friends.

Grab a slice of pizza and listen to Turtle Power to get in the mood for this movie.
***Disclaimer**** This is our first episode in 6 weeks and given the events of the world that are affected everyone in our audience and us we take some time to make our feelings known about how important it is right now to advocate for Black Lives, and recognize the human health crisis that is occurring in our country right now.

This episode is a bit of a sequel to one of the earlier reviews in Do We Like Movies? History. Our awesome friend and logo creator Danny joins the show along with our friendly neighborhood... he’s one of our only friends who knows Spider-Man, Jose. This week we cover Sam Raimi’s 2004 sequel to his 2002 Spider-Man film. This film is widely regarded among comic book fans as one of the best superhero sequels alongside Dark Knight.
After having defeated the Green Goblin 2 years earlier, we meet a Peter Parker trying to juggle being a crime fighting superhero responsible for the well-being of New York, and a young adult who is failing in school and struggling to keep any job to pay rent in his odd boarding house/apartment/mini dorm. We also see Spider-Man going up against a new villain in Doctor Octopus played by the amazing Alfred Molina. Please join us as we review this near masterpiece of comic book film.

In the 1990s, Disney was going through their Animation renaissance starting with 1989's The Little Mermaid, Included, Aladdin, The Lion King, and the Academy Award nominated Beauty and the Beast.
At the tail end of this period came the sequel to the early 90s cartoon Goof Troop, which follows Disney characters Goofy and Pete as they are navigating parenthood. In this movie, Goofy is afraid that he has grown too distant from his teenage son Max, and decides to take him away for the summer on a cross-country fishing trip for the summer, the only issue is that this interferes with Max's plans to woo his high school crush, Roxanne.

For Angel this is Mandela Effect: The Movie. You'll find out why when you listen!
A cult favorite from 2011, Drive tells the story of a Hollywood stunt driver (Ryan Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway driver for robberies. Our main character spends most of the film romancing a woman and her son while her husband (In an early unfortunate Latin gangster turn from the great Oscar Isaac) is in prison. The film combines elements from TV crime drama like The Sopranos with a bizarre video game aesthetic from Grand Theft Auto, the LA of Michael Mann's Heat and a jaunty Electric soundtrack. Join your hosts as we get in the Driver seat (GET IT?!) for Drive.

Hey Everyone,
Well we're here, The Apocalypse (Hopefully not tho). We figured since we're all self-isolating for at least a month, it would make sense for both of your hosts have picked out 5 films each that deal with Isolation and social distancing. Check out this week's episode for a little fun banter and check out some of the films we are covering in this episode.. We are bound to mention some you've never heard of before.
PSA: Lets stay inside, and keep practicing Social Distancing to help flatten the curve and slow the spread of COVID-19 so that sooner than later we can go back to making Javi watch James Bond Movies.
