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?

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.

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.

Bee our victim.. (Get it?!)
This week we decided to jump on the hype of last week's trailer release for the Candyman sequel/remake and review the 1992 Bernard Rose/Clive Barker classic starring horror icon Tony Todd.
The film revolves around the character of Helen Lyle who along with her best friend/colleague Bernadette Walsh are researching the urban legend of the Candyman who is known to haunt the now-defunct Cabrini-Green Projects in Chicago.
Shockingly progressive in some ways, while cringe-inducingly exploitative in others, this 90s horror classic proves that it is worth revisiting and ripe for a new take from a fresh perspective.

The Roger Moore Era,
This is the one era of Bond that neither of your hosts is too familiar with. That said, we were ready to turn the page on Sean Connery after Diamonds Are Forever's awful phoned in performance.
The Iconography of Bond is on full display here with a Car that turns into a submarine, and famed metal mouthed Bond henchmen, Jaws. This story follows Bond as he teams up with a beautiful Soviet Agent known as Triple X (GET IT?! It's SEX) to save the world from the megalomaniacal evil villain, Stromberg.

Following the mixed response to On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the producers of the Bond series attempted a hard course correction, by dumping George Lazenby for the ever aging Sean Connery.
Despite featuring maybe the greatest theme song by Shirley Bassey which most millennials remember because it was sampled by Kanye West in the 00s, this may be one of the worst enteries in the entire series.
Much like an old Pro Wrestler making a return for a WrestleMania payday, Connery was way past his prime, and this series way past its relevance in the 1970s. It's no surprise that this is the end of Connery's run as Iam Flemming's secret agent. That said, Do We Like Diamonds Are Forever? Download our new episode to find out!

This never happened to the other fellow...
In 1969, James Bond experienced one of the earliest soft reboots in film history. This 1969 film takes many risks, chief among them being the replacement of film icon Sean Connery with a chocolate commercial actor by the name of George Lazenby.
He is unique in that he is the only actor in this series that plays James Bond only once. This film also features Tracy, the Bond girl who would infamously be the woman who finally ties down 007. Don't be fooled by her distinction as a Bond Girl, she is every bit the co-star of this movie. More serious in tone and the brilliant recasting of Blofeld carry this film through the most inconic Bond chase on the slopes of the Swiss Alps. Join us as we discuss this film!
