This episode has probably been a long time coming, beloved listeners, but to be fair…it look a long time for SOMEONE (Matty) to do their film homework. Now that they have, the Sneople finally able to discuss the topic of this week’s ep - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead! Starting off with the 1990 film, the Sneople gush about why it’s an incredible stage to screen adaptation, what makes it a compelling piece of media even if you haven’t read Hamlet a million times (like they have oops), and why Tim Roth is so devastatingly good looking. Beyond that, also talk about the play itself, and wh ..read more

Awards season is finally over, beloved listeners, but that does not mean we will ever be free of movie related drama - with the announcement of a Night of the Hunter remake, it’s time to tackle a topic long coming: Remakes and Reboots! Starting off with a very angry rant about The Crow (1994) remake and overall thoughts about what makes a good/thoughtful remake, the Sneople shift to talking reboots and why they never seem to stick the landing - how else do you explain the fact that there was a WHOLE GHOSTBUSTERS LEGACY REBOOT and somehow at least one of the Sneople hadn’t even heard about it u ..read more

The awards season has finally come to a close, beloved listeners, which means we can address the best and most beloved awards of the season - The Helena Awards! Helena has some new categories this year, including Biggest Oh Shit Moment (Most Hooting and Hollering) and Best On-Screen Chemistry. Beyond that, the Sneople go through Helena’s full list of awards from the bottom all the way up to Best Film, covering movies from the entirety of 2023 that Helena bthought deserved love and recognition - this includes both Oscar winners and films that got snubbed this year (hello May December) and ever ..read more

Our Winter Break is over, beloved listeners, just in time for awards season. Which, obviously, means we’re spending the episode getting into the nitty gritty of the recently released Oscars Nominations! After a shorter than expected What We Sneep catch up for the month (we speedrun our way through it - lots of nominations to get through, after all), the Sneople dive into the nominations and their thoughts on them, starting with the technical awards and working their way up to Best Picture! As always, there are several opinions on basically every category, though you may be surprised on the gen ..read more

In our last episode of 2023, the Sneople tackle a topic that has (probably) been a long time coming - the Kenneth Branagh Poirot adaptations! After a brief overview of the other Poirot content they’re familiar with (Hi, David Suchet), the Sneople discuss all three movies at length. In true Sneople fashion, this covers the things they loved, the choices they respect, and the parts of the movies they wish they could unsee - mostly, large portions of Death on the Nile. There’s also discussions of adaptations of older pieces of media in general, Kenneth Branagh’s other work, and Tom Hiddleston fin ..read more

This isn’t seasonal, beloved listeners, but the Sneople don’t care - this week, they’re covering action adventure/summer blockbuster hit series, Indiana Jones! After the standard What We Sneep (which mostly is just Indiana Jones movies for one of us), the Sneople dive into what has made the original films such classics, what they love about them, and what they REALLY REALLY DON’T LOVE - we’re looking at you, Temple of Doom! The Sneople mostly cover the original trio of films here, as most of them haven’t seen the most recent one and at least one of them hasn’t seen the 4th one, but you do stil ..read more

Hello, beloved listeners! It’s another long episode for us, but to be fair, we have a lot to discuss- this week, we’re covering a whole decade: The 80’s! From Kids on Bikes, to Slashers, and every possible genre in between, the Sneople talk about how the decade was defined, possible reasons certain genres came into their own, and some of their favorites of the era. They also talk about the transitional periods from the 70’s into the 80’s and the 80’s into the 90’s, and what we started to see more less and more of in both those periods. They also get distracted more than once but that is not r ..read more

‘Tis the beginning of the Halloween season, beloved listeners, and what better way to open it with one of our favorite directors and three of his great films - John Carpenter and his Apocalypse Trilogy! For those who haven’t heard of this yet, John Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy just happens to cover the three movies all three of the Sneople have seen: The Thing (1982), Prince of Darkness (1987), and In the Mouth of Madness (1994)! After a little time spent of Sam Niell’s accent in In the Mouth of Madness, the Sneople hop right into what makes these movies work so well, both all together and a ..read more

Hello beloved listeners, and welcome to the 100th episode of Sneople at the Movies!! We’re so glad to be celebrating such an incredible milestone with y’all, and we’re doing so by taking a break from our normal format. For this episode, we’re trying something new while going back to our very earliest days. Instead of our normal talk show, we spend this episode doing a commentary track for the movie we made our first episode about and pitched Sneople with - Van Helsing (2004)! You can use this episode to watch a goofy 00’s fantasy action adventure movie along with us - we had a blast making t ..read more

It’s a bit late in the year to realize we didn’t do an ep for this year’s Oscars, beloved listeners, but don’t worry! This week, to make up for it, we’re talking about the 75th Academy Awards instead, covering movies that came out in 2002! As per most Oscars related episodes, there is a little bit of complaining about what the Academy Awards are like these days, but the Sneople quickly move on to the award winners of 2002 and the various nominees. This includes Chicago and it’s MANY wins, Adrian Brody becoming the youngest actor at the time to win Best Actor, and Gangs of New York having 10 n ..read more
