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/
This week we dust off our Rex-Kwon-Do and sweet nunchuck skills while we eat our pocket tots. We watched Napoleon Dynamite, because we do whatever we feel like we wanna do. Gosh! 2004's most quoted movie.

In honor of the release of the new Pedro Pascal Fantastic Four: First Steps, we interrupt our Super Month with a special release! This week on Myopia Movies, we manage to find something even dumber than getting hit with cosmic rays in space—and that’s saying something. We’re diving headfirst into the joyless, gloomy void that is Josh Trank’s 2015 Fantastic Four or as we kept calling it Fant-4-stick. It’s not just a bad superhero mo...
This month we continue our Superman rewatch and visit a chaotic Richard Pryor movie. In this episode of Myopia: The Podcast, we dive into the much-maligned Superman 3 (1983), a film that takes the Man of Steel in some bizarre new directions. From Richard Pryor's unexpected comedic role to the weird, campy tone that sets it apart from its predecessors, we break down why Superman 3 is often seen as a quirky misstep in the franchise. ...
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 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, 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.
