Myopia Movies
Welcome to season 11 of Myopia Movies! Each week we watch the movies from the 80s and 90s we grew up watching to address the lies that our memories and Blockbuster video told us. Do they hold up? https://myopiapodcast.com/

In honor of the James Gunn Superman, we continue our Supermonth! This week on Myopia Movies, we leap tall plot holes in a single bound and confront the chaos of Superman II (1980)—a sequel caught in a tug-of-war between two directors, studio meddling, and a trio of space fascists in disco pajamas. We ask: Does the Man of Steel’s second outing still soar, or does it crash under the weight of tonal whipla...
Welcome to Season 12! In honor of the new James Gunn movie, we are covering the classic, vintage, 1978 Superman movie starring Christopher Reeves. So this week on Myopia Movies, we see that Scooby-Doo is right. Every land developer truly is an evil land developer.

This week on Myopia Movies, we bathe in the waters that are James Bond, starting with a kickass classic sounding Bond song and ending with Home Alone. We watched the last great Bond film, Skyfall, which doubles as the greatest M movies. This is a dusting off of an old, behind the Patreon Paywall episode, so be kind about the fact that my voice has aged terribly.

This week we check to see how good the kung fu is of the man who hunted down Freddy Krueger. We watched the masterpiece that is Enter the Dragon. If this doesn't get your blood pumping, you may already be dead. This is a dusting off of an old, behind the Patreon Paywall episode, so be kind about the fact that my voice has aged terribly.

This week we can't get enough of a saucy Irishman. We watched The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)...the Bond movie, he stepped away from James Bond to do...or was that the Taylor of Panama....or The Matador....sorry, I was getting lost in his eyes. This is a dusting off of an old, behind the Patreon Paywall episode, so be kind about the fact that my voice has aged terribly.

This week on Myopia Movies, Antonio Banderas plays a muslim explorer discovering Vikings...yup. We watched The 13th Warrior, based on the much better titled Michael Crichton book, The Eaters of the Dead. This is a dusting off of an old, behind the Patreon Paywall episode, so be kind about the fact that my voice has aged terribly.

This week we finish our Alfred Hitchcock month with the oldest movie we have ever covered, we talk the 39 Steps, the 40th, of course, is acceptance. This is a dusting off of an old, behind the Patreon Paywall episode, so be kind about the fact that my voice has aged terribly.

This week on Myopia Movies, we are forced to drink a pint of whiskey because of mistaken identity; if the identity was correct it would have been a quart. We watched North by Northwest. Hitch's love letter to the vastness of America.

This week on Myopia Movies,we step onto the ledge of cinematic obsession with Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo — a film that turns love, identity, and acrophobia into an existential spiral. Jimmy Stewart plays a retired detective with a fear of heights and a talent for projection, and Kim Novak plays… well, let’s just say she plays a lot.
Is this 1958 classic still a mesmerizing masterpiece of psychological suspense, or is it just Hitchc...
This week on Myopia Movies we learn why I only take bubble baths, we start our Alfred Hitchcock Month with Psycho! The reason I only stay at Holiday Inn Express.

Panel: Alex, Matthew, Keiko
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam, and Janet Leigh
This week on Myopia Movies, not even a vicious stomach virus can keep me from releasing an episode on a movie that, appropriately enough, feels like a vicious stomach virus. We watched Ultraviolet, a movie appropriately named because it should not be seen with the naked eye. How will Ultraviolet hold up?

The week we see Charlie Day and giant monsters, which is all pretty sweet. We watched Pacific Rim a movie set in 2025, which if it came true may still not be top headlines in the real 2025.
How will Pacific Rim hold up?Host: Nic
Panel: Matt, Keiko, Alex
Directed by Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Burn Gorman
This week on Myopia Movies, it’s suddenly Seymour—and Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, Frank Oz, and one giant, man-eating plant. We dove into Little Shop of Horrors, the cult musical that made us fear dentists, question florists, and hum along while the world burns. Somebody feed me... Seymour!

“Before Eight-Legged Freaks made spiders scream-worthy and before Jeff Daniels became America’s favorite newsroom anchor, there was Arachnophobia—the movie that turned every shoe, vacuum, and rolled-up newspaper into a weapon of survival.

This week on Myopia Movie, we complete our worst of the previous year month with a movie that no one wanted, and no one liked, we saw Borderlands, a movie that not only lost $114 million of a $145 million budget (excluding advertising), it was delayed for three years and this was still the best they could come up with.

This week we continue the Worst of the Previous Year for Oscars Month and are baffled by a stupid movie, whose book is somehow worse. We watched Argylle, the worse the script, the dumber the lie.

Welcome to Myopia Movies, after that brief diversion to celebrate 500 episodes, we turned to Robin Hood: Men in Tights, I mean, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I guess American Robin Hoods don't even need to try accents...you know what? It is for the best.
