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.

Hi, everyone. For the end of the year, 2 Guys 5 Movies has recorded a bonus episode, the first of its kind where Chris forces Frank to watch a movie he hates for a second time. This episode is a deep dive on Stanley Kubrick's last film, Eyes Wide Shut, and we discuss Frank's initial thoughts in 1999 and his thoughts now.
This discussion acts as a precursor to our next episode, which will be released in a couple days, where we'll cover Frank's top five films of the year 1999. As always, thank you all for your support, and have a great rest of the holiday!

All of us have experienced the overwhelming feeling of streaming service menus: there is so much to watch, but where do you start? Instead of spending hours looking at titles and descriptions, make sure to check out this week’s episode. Before October starts, Frank and I are doing something different. We’re going to scroll through what horror movies are on Netflix and Amazon Prime, and Frank is going to let you know what is worth watching and what isn’t. Frank also wanted me to provide his “should watch” list here since we missed some movies due to Netflix’s poor organization.
Netflix: Green Room, The Witch, Autopsy of Jane Doe, As Above So Below, Life After Beth, The Monster, Terrifier, The Ritual, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, The Invitation, Creep, Carrier, Heretics, Eyes of My Mother, I Remember You, Errementari, The Blackcoat’s Daughter
Amazon Prime: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, The Love Witch, Shadow of the Vampire, Hereditary, Midnight Meat Train, Black Christmas, Rosemary’s Baby, Ju-on, The Gate, Angelheart, C.H.U.D., Annihilation, Army of Darkness, Paperhouse
