2 Guys 5 Movies
The podcast features two ordinary but knowledgeable film fans who examine film, past and present, through top five lists and retrospectives.
What 2 Guys 5 Movies is All About
Hi, all! 2 Guys 5 Movies, a long-form film podcast, will be entering its third full year in 2022. The "primary" podcast features top five lists from various genres and subgenres. We have a wide range in our over 130 episodes. In 2020, we also added a weekly "supplemental" podcast, The Quick Cage, where co-host Frank Pellicone watched and reviewed every Nicolas Cage movie during an 23-month span. In 2022, a new supplemental podcast will begin weekly called The Spin Chagrin, where a ludicrous subgenre will be chosen randomly and Frank will have to watch and review the movie. This will be in addition to the main feed, where we will continue with extensive looks in top five lists.

2 Guys 5 Movies has reached its 150th episode. The episode will be released in three distinct parts.
In Part I, the 2 Guys listen to their first episode, review it, and reminisce on the origins of the podcast in context of the episode itself.
Part II finds Frank updating his original list from the first episode. The list of haunting movies now includes Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, Peter Medak’s The Changeling, and three pivotal J-horror films, Kairo, Ju-On: The Grudge, and Dark Water.
In Part III, Frank and Chris recorded a watch-a-long of The Shining that allows listeners to take in Kubrick’s classic along with them.
