We love movies! As a family, we would go to the movies or rent one every weekend. Afterwards, we would talk about the movie and compare them to other movies. We would discuss what we liked and disliked about each movie. Sometimes these reviews would turn into lengthy discussions about the motifs and themes that transcended the movies themselves. This podcast serves as a formal, genuine attempt to capture those conversations.
Do you love movies? Have you watched a movie over and over again? What makes a movie timeless? Movies (like music) seen in our youths, or in times past, had strong impressions on us at the time. But how do those movies hold up? Movies play differently and mean different things depending on what phase of life you are in and what’s going on in the culture.
On the GMR you’ll be introduced (or re-introduced) to movies from two generational perspectives. In each podcast, we review two related movies with a similar theme, or same director, or same actor or remakes and sequels, etc. James provides perspective from the Gen X viewpoint and Kyle gives his Millennial angle.
Join us for thoughtful and sometimes humorous discussions of a wide range of beloved films.
We hope that our conversations inspire you to watch these movies for the first time. Or maybe we’ll rekindle your interest to watch them again! More importantly, we want to know your thoughts on the topics discussed!
Thank you for spending time with us here at The GMR!

We would expect that most people when they think of animated movies, are thinking of Snow White or The Little Mermaid. However, starting in the 1980s, a whole new generation of filmmakers out of Japan started Studio Ghibli. The product coming from Studio Ghibli started a revolution of sorts in the a...
