In Defense of: A Movie Podcast is an upbeat and comedic podcast from Dan McIntyre and Aaron Masih. We watch critically-panned movies and challenge ourselves to investigate at-depth the production and behind-the-scenes to find reasons why it may deserve a second look, even if it hurts.

If it's one thing that both critics and fans of the beloved series can agree on, it's that M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" failed to deliver the goods. In fact, as far as sheer anger goes, this one really seems to take the cake. From name pronunciations to major character arc omissions, "The Last Airbender" is a fascinating cautionary tale on how NOT to approach an adaptation. So the question is, how do you defend a movie that the very creators of the source material hate and pretend doesn't exist? Come along on the journey as Aaron leads Dan through the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Is there anything worth admiring here? They have thoughts.

Many fans were sent reeling after Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi - taking to the internet to vent their anger and frustrations. Now, with the final film in the Skywalker Saga fast approaching, many are asking, "Will this one unite the fractured fan base? Or plunge it into darkness forever and ever?" Is such a thing even possible? Are people forgetting how good of a time it is to be a Star Wars fan right now? Dan sits down with friend of the show, Cody Buhler to deep-dive all things Star Wars Episode 9! They discuss the state of the fandom, and share their deep thoughts and predictions on The Rise of Skywalker!

On this special episode, Dan and Aaron subvert the genre of their own podcast to talk about a show that famously subverts a genre! It's Amazon Studios' The Boys! So it's not a movie, and it's not terrible, so why are they talking about it? It's a jam-packed episode about the state of streaming services, identity, superhero fatigue, parody, and adaptation. They pick up where they left off on their characterization conversation in "In Defense of The Last Airbender" and dive deep into why this series speaks volumes about the current state of Hollywood.
Due to the nature of "The Boys" this episode has been rated Explicit in order to discuss some of its darker elements.
Also a correction from this episode: This series does indeed have a Rotten Tomatoes Score: 83% Critical, and 94% Audience.

After swimming half-way around the world and crossing the Panama Canal, Godzilla is finally ready to make her nest and hatch her young! Much can be said about 1998's failed Americanized Godzilla, but that doesn't mean there isn't some stuff worth liking here! Dan and Aaron embark on a nostalgia-fueled journey into late-90's advertising campaigns, craftsmanship, and visual effects, and explore the rich and troubled production of this failed trilogy. Also, Dan pitches a wild conspiracy theory about this film that may actually make sense...

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
There's been a bit of an episode shake-up due to an awesome series of events, as explained in this episode! Therefore ThanksKilling has been swapped to American Thanksgiving! So the time has finally come to discuss Adam Sandler films - Jack and Jill in particular! Come along as Aaron and Dan discuss Adam Sandler's impressive career trajectory, and the impact he's had on Hollywood. And as far as Jack and Jill goes, why does this movie have so much product placement? Why are there so many cameos? How much bodily humor is too much? Does it really deserve a 3% Critical Rating on Rotten Tomatoes? So much to discuss! Come kick off the long weekend with us!

Happy Halloween! Are you ready to dance till you just can't dance? Dan and Aaron head back to 1992 for a nostalgia-fueled journey into campy blood-sucking comedy! Before Sarah Michelle Gellar graced us with her run as Buffy in 1997, there was another. Enter Kristy Swanson: vampire hunter and valley girl extraordinaire. Joss Whedon's first attempt at getting Buffy off the ground is an interesting tale full of many firsts, a bizarre cast, and a lot of strange decisions. Whether you're already fan of this movie, or you didn't know it existed, ring in your Halloween right with some ghoulish fun! Happy Halloween, everyone!

On this episode we welcome back our friend Cody Buhler to the show to talk about "The Last Witch Hunter". Sitting on Rotten Tomatoes at a 17% Critical Rating and a 43% Audience Score, we unpack the many reasons why this particular Vin Diesel vehicle failed to get its franchise due. There's a whole ton going on in this movie for being under 2 hours run-time. But as wacky as the movie can be, there's actually a lot of elements worth a second look. Could Kaulder see a sequel in the future? We hope so. Come find out why!
Also, Dan mispronounces the word "Dolan" repeatedly!
You can check out more of Cody on his podcast called, "alsoalso" available through Podbean!

If you grew up in the 90's, you might recall coming across this bizarre gem of a film while channel surfing one lonely afternoon. It starts simple enough: you know, middle-class suburban family with stop-motion pets, nothing serious. Next thing you know, you find yourself in a world of wild and deep rooted conspiracy theories. Who is taking your garbage and why? Who is this "Sender" we keep returning mail to? Do aliens exist? Can you really be your own Grampa? Is Tom Arnold really that bad at rollerblading? Aaron and Dan hop in their time machine elevator and head back to 1996 to tackle all these questions and more! Let's get stupid!
