Hi Mamo listeners, I am in Berlin right now. How, then, have I managed to record this Mamo? Magic and science, that’s how, together at last! In this episode, in honour of my absence, we discuss the posthumous victories of Jackson, Polanski, and Ledger. Enjoy!
It wasn’t so much where the Wild Things were as what they were, a brilliant collection of vital imagery that verges on the miraculous. Matt and Matt take a look at all things feral in their latest coffee shop rumpus.
In which the summer of 2009 is put to rest, reputations are made and broken, and a hero (of guessing box office grosses) is at long last revealed. Plus, our belated interview with Zeb Pike, and his thoughts on 9.
We wrap up on the Toronto Film fest, discuss the business end of a screening at the Elgin, and provide the highest quality in depth analysis ever given from a bench in the mall. Plus we parse the cock-up at Disney, and tease our upcoming interview with Zeb Pike, lighting compositor and part of the creative team at Starz that produced Shane Acker’s 9.
More Mamo from the 7th day of the Toronto International Film Festival 2009! Too tired to further blurb, please have a listen.
LINK IS FIXED! Sorry for the sleep-deprivation-induced inconvenience.
Catch up with the Matts again, this time in line for The Disappearance of Alice Creed at the Toronto International Film Festival. We’ll recap days 1, 2, 3, and twitter, which is not so much a day as a social force majeure. (We’re @tederick and @mattmovies, by the way.)
Who says we’re above posting our own outtakes and B-sides? What started as a test of a new on-the-fly Mamo recording technique (it’s not exactly a scientific revolution, but it’ll help) turned into a 3-minute introductory podcast for the Toronto International Film Festival 2009. Hey: enjoy that. Longer shows are coming.
Before you do anything, feel free to pop over to blogTO.com to listen to Matt and Matt’s annual preview podcast for the Toronto International Film Festival!
In podcast #147, the Matts look at the Basterds, and be basterds a bit themselves. Plus, fanboy backlash: why every single person who gripes about the Avatar preview is embarrassing themselves.
What do John Hughes (RIP), Star Trek’s international box office, Roger Ebert’s despair and the films of 2010 have to do with each other? Nothing, actually, but the Matt’s are overdue for a rambling and shapeless discussion that serves no one and only confirms to all that this podcast of theirs has more navel gazing than the museum of Florida oranges. So here it is.
Mamo #145: sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads [ 28:35 | 21.97 MB ] Play Now | Play in PopupDid Harry Potter leave money on the table by not highlighting the smoochies? Did Bruno give himself a reacharound and forget to tend to the rest of us? Did Ryan Reynolds land Green Lantern because he was good, or because he was just good enough? And what – I say, what – is with G.I.Joe? Mamo knows.
The boys are back, beaten, bloodied, bruised but unbounded. Another kick at the can, anyone? This time out we’re trying to assess Michael Mann’s place in history, H-Pot’s place in time and take the snapshot that sci-fi fans were hoping for. All this, plus we still love TF2 like Mr. T loves hair clippers. Mamo, anyone?

The sheer ferocity of the critical reaction to Transformers 2 says a lot more about the motivations of the critics who have been laying in the weeds for this chance to strike, and a lot less about the actual relative quality of a movie which is, if dumb, significantly more successful than anyone’s admitted so far. Let Mamo be the beacon of truth once again, as we deconstruct what is now guaranteed to be the biggest box office hit of the summer… while mourning the passing of a true icon. We’re looking at the man in the mirror: we’re asking him to change his ways.
SPOILER WARNING!
