Each episode, one of the boys presents an overlooked film they love, and tries to convince the other of its misunderstood genius. The two debate its merits and discuss how it was made and whether it belongs in the pantheon of cinematic greats. You Should Watch This with Ed and Simon began as a series of drunken conversations between two film-loving friends who were constantly recommending forgotten and unloved movies to each other. With the help of sound, editing and music maestro David, a p ...

Ed Hime absolutely adores The Other Guys (2010). And who can blame him. Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell give grandstanding comedic performances as the mismatched cops on the hunt for a white-collar criminal which serves as the jumping off point for director Adam McKay's later political movies (The Big Short (2015) and Vice (2018)). An ensemble cast …

A real gem of an Italian movie is on offer in this instalment of You Should Watch This. Simon pitches Elio Petri's Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion - an enthralling political satire which isn't so much a whodunit as a "whydunit". The police inspector (Gian Maria Volonté) kills his lover in the opening scene and then spends the rest of the…

Tim Burton's first feature as director sees the eponymous Pee-wee Herman on a road trip to recover his beloved lost bike in one of the strangest "kids" movies ever made. For Simon the film has so many associations with his childhood, from Large Marge to behind the wheel to Amazing Larry's mohican, but will the slick script, inventive stop-motion an…

How about a heartfelt coming of age story, a critique of the American class system and a rousing sports drama all rolled into one? In this episode of You Should Watch This, Ed pitches Peter Yates' late-70s cycling movie Breaking Away (1979) to Simon. With a host of break out talent (Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Dennis Christopher) playing the disenc…

Jeremy Saulnier's 2015 claustrophobic punk horror masterpiece is the jumping off point for Season 2 of You Should Watch This. Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots and Patrick Stewart star in a tale of a travelling punk band who find themselves under siege from a group of neo-Nazis after walking in on a crime scene. Ed pitches the film that he thinks people …

Love Bill Murray? What if I told you that out of the mist of 1970s improv comedy came a leading man equally as funny but definitely more problematic that Bill? Although massive during his '80s heydey, Chevy Chase sunk to relative obscurity and although "rescued" in the cultish TV series "Community" most will not remember him for this hilarious star…

Budd Boetticher's 1959 Western "Ride Lonesome" is up for discussion this week, and the Randolph Scott vehicle is an absolute gem of a movie. Fast paced (this B movie is only 73 minutes long) and packing a heck of a punch, this is the sort of classic Sunday afternoon film you can find yourself swept up in. But will Ed appreciate the charm that the f…

Feeling like something scary? How about an '70s Italian horror/slasher movie with an amazing prog soundtrack (Goblin), creepy puppets, inventive murder scenes and a whodunit plot that will keep you guessing until the end? Dario Argento's Deep Red (aka Profondo Rosso) is beloved by Simon for all of the above reasons but will its infectious and prepo…

Remember cult classic Donnie Darko? Remember the director Richard Kelly's follow up Southland Tales? Possibly not... Ed Hime loves the sprawling near future sci-fi epic but can he convince Simon Fowler of its merits. The cast list reads like a who's who of 2000s pop culture (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Seann William Scott, Man…

Ed Hime and Simon Fowler jump right in with another episode of "You Should Watch This" featuring Ivan Passer's 1981 noir-ish thriller Cutter's Way. Stand out performances from Jeff Bridges, John Heard and Lisa Eichhorn make this one of the best films you may never have heard of... but will Simon like it as Ed's suggestion? And what film will they c…

Adam, MONROK and Jess discuss the 2017 Netflix documentary AlphaGo, which covers humanity's struggle to create (and then defeat) an artificial intelligence program capable of playing the most complex board game in the world at the highest competitive level possible. It's basically Rocky IV but with robots instead of Russian doping programs. You sho…

Are you paying your fair share to support your favorite idol? If not, you either don't live in Tokyo or you're a married man living in Tokyo. That probably sounds confusing, and yes, that's one word for it. On this episode, the team discusses the documentary "Tokyo Idol" which covers the strange Japanese trend where middle-aged men worship and fina…
