Movie Marathon Podcast
The Movie Marathon Podcast is a film podcast built around the binge. We marathon entire franchises and films from start to finish — one movie per episode — covering the production history, the casting, the performances, and what each film actually means. Our rewatches are tied to new releases and culturally relevant moments, so there's always a reason to be listening. Whether you've seen the movie 30 times or you just came out of the theater, every episode is a deep dive. Every binge is intentional. And every opinion was formed by watching the movies before we turned on our mics. Welcome to the Binge Bros, let's marathon some movies. New episodes every Tuesday.
Episodes
The Binge Bros revisit Weapons — the 2025 horror film from Zach Cregger that we saw on opening night together, which sparked a parking lot conversation that became the genesis of this podcast.

In celebration of our 30th episode, the Binge Bros answer the question everyone gets asked and nobody can answer cleanly — what's your favorite movie?
