RIP to the namesake of the @MichaelandUs boys’ studio. Not sure what he did but heard he died. Was he Canadian?
@MichaelandUs Just like y’all drew it up
.@MichaelandUs a magical night for democracy my.lwv.org/california/gre…
A great honor to be in Ottawa today, and to say a few words of remembrance for a great man whose friendship I’ll cherish till the end of my days.
went on @MichaelandUs to discuss the all-singing, all-dancing 2014 Monty Python reunion, ten years on. thanks to the great @WillSloanEsq for putting out the Bat Signal to someone with a similarly vast & useless reserve of knowledge on the subject. soundcloud.com/michael-and-us…
I can't say enough about the way Will and Luke's theory of the spaghetti scene in The Flash has haunted my imagination since they first elucidated it last year. By the time they recap it in this episode they've fully developed it into a frighteningly well articulated nightmare.
🚨PATREON EPISODE🚨 From THE FLASH to SOUND OF FREEDOM and many more along the way, we look back at some of the movies that defined the podcast in 2023, and hand out the coveted Michael & Us Awards. Get it: patreon.com/posts/488-four… Preview: soundcloud.com/michael-and-us…
@MichaelandUs looking forward to a franchise war episode. May I suggest Death Wish vs Equalizer
Book: embarrassingly for someone with my interests, I had never actually read Barbarians at the Gate. I have now fixed that and and it fully deserves its place in the business book canon. Podcast: @MichaelandUs! Starts as a reflection on Michael Moore's movies and goes wide
There are 2 "political satirist"s which spring to mind when the topic is deeply, tragically unfunny "political satirists" online, and one of them is Andy Borowitz, the subject of Patreon Exclusive @MichaelandUs out today. Clever & hilarious Canadian podcast you should check out.
On a recent episode the boys mentioned the contentious Blue State broadcast, and so I had to clear my evening to have a re-listen. A vital conversation.
🇺🇸NEW EPISODE🇺🇸 Many people threatened to move to Canada when George W. Bush was re-elected in 2004. One movie imagines a man who did. Your hosts are sharply divided on the merits of the Breckin Meyer vehicle BLUE STATE (2007). Get it: soundcloud.com/michael-and-us…
@MichaelandUs @LukewSavage @WillSloanEsq Great episode fellas. I sympathize with your sympathy with Herzog over his memeification, however, it does have it's benefits. Like Paul F. Tompkins' Herzog reviews Trader Joe's: youtube.com/watch?v=5YW-5F…
The four guys who connect @MichaelandUs @ImprtCinemaClub and the @BayStreetVideo podcast into one giant Canadian Voltron of podcasting excellence. Neil Young's okay too.
Firmly believe this has one of the best lead performances of the last ten years
🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 We discuss Clint Eastwood's 2019-era hot potato RICHARD JEWELL, a beautiful and moving film about the media literally being in bed with the FBI Get it: soundcloud.com/michael-and-us…
@MichaelandUs Okay. For docs: The Corporation, Hot Coffee, The Inventor, My Kid Could Paint That, Who Killed The Electric Car? For political films: American History X, Higher Learning, JFK, Recount, Swing Kids Wild card: Gremlins
😂😂 pissing myself listening to this review at work this morning.
🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 We discuss Kevin Smith's CLERKS III (2022), a harrowing vision of Gen X culture trapped in amber. Get it: soundcloud.com/michael-and-us…
Loved listening in on this thoughtful conversation about Claire Denis’ hypnotic knockout TROUBLE EVERY DAY -
🇫🇷NEW EPISODE🇫🇷 Our own @WillSloanEsq is joined by guest host @brofromanother to discuss Claire Denis's transgressive masterpiece TROUBLE EVERY DAY and how it scandalized film culture circa 2001. Get it: soundcloud.com/michael-and-us…
Subscribe to the @MichaelandUs patreon for gems like... Will: "Let's start with Deep Space Nine. So the plot of this one is that you've got this... this spaceship and it's out in space, and..." Luke: "It's not a ship, it's a space station." Will: "It's a spaceship, and..."
I hate micro prattle so much that I've quit certain otherwise worthy podcasts where the hosts live their personal relationships and micro-lives in excruciating detail on the pod. No one is that interested, people. I get just enough from Michael & Us to keep my personal interest.
thanks to @MichaelandUs for the reminder and witty analysis
Tone is one reason I like @MichaelandUs. It's a socialist podcast, bitingly ironic but also kind and affectionate. The hosts are firmly opinionated but not precious and self-indulgent. It's hilarious, but the hosts' humor is focused: they do not engage in micro-prattle.
