About This Podcast
Join Ethan Hawkes and Mike Trujillo as they watch two halves of the same movie and try to piece it all together. Sometimes we learn about filmmaking, but most of the time we learn about ourselves. Have a suggestion for a movie? Email us at [email protected].

Regretting You

Say Anything
Say Anything is a classic romance movie with the famous boombox scene. But we never knew anything else about the movie. We thought it could end up being another one of those poorly aged John Hughes…
Runaway Bride
Runaway Bride is a romantic comedy that is a real trip. What if they used the same cast as Pretty Woman and made it about a bad columnist and just a small town woman who can't stop running away from…
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Four Weddings and a Funeral is like a Rom Com for the apathetic Gen X generation. It feels similar to Saint Elmo's fire, but stars a group of friends who are not so miserable. The movie follows a…
Shakespeare in Love
Welcome to Rom Com month! We're kicking this off with Shakespeare in Love. A movie that won Best Picture back when it was released because Harvey Weinstein poured a ton of money into promoting it. Or…

F1
ZOOM ZOOM It's F1 time! Dad movies are back in the Oscars!! A script written by AI, shallow characters, mediocre cinematography, and Brad Pitt phoning it in, we're ready to unpack one of the biggest…
The Secret Agent
The Secret Agent is a movie about the dictatorship in Brazil, similar to I'm Still Here from last year, that's often funny, irreverent, but at the same time has heart and throws pretty dark. We…
Train Dreams
All about Train Dreams! A movie that starts off kind of normal, but then becomes Tree of Life? It's all about being a forrester. Wait a second. This movie is kind of like Forrest Gump if he stayed…
Sentimental Value
Continuing our 2026 Oscar run with Sentimental Value! The Norwegian movie starring Stellan Skarsgard and that lady from The Worst Person in the World. This is basically what I imagine what it's like…
Hamnet
Queue the Oscar music, it's time for Hamnet! We're recording this before the Oscars are annouced so we hope it's the correct choice. Hamnet is an attempt to tell the story of how William…
