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 wants to start the new year with something for potential listeners and current listeners with a fresh introduction episode. We recorded an introduction back in late 2018, but with a lot of new listeners since then and a growing base, we wanted to cover a little of that territory again and talk about film a bit more generally to show Frank’s background, tastes, and peccadillos (listen for his opinion on The Wizard of Oz).
