MOVIED! 38 Episodes Jan 16, 2026

MOVIED! is a podcast hosted by YouTubers Craig Benzine (wheezywaiter) and Jake Jarvi (pineappleboyfilms) in which the two friends discuss movies together. Each episode centers on a film and the hosts pose six questions inspired by it, sparking a loose, conversational back-and-forth. The show blends casual film talk with the comedic chemistry between the two creators. It is aimed at listeners who enjoy accessible movie discussion rather than formal criticism.

Project Power Aug 25, 2020 00:49:43 Craig and Jake discuss the #1 movie on Netflix, Project Power; what's the breaking point for believability with CGI fire; and whether Casey Neistat's love is enough to make us care about a woman who's freezing to death.

The Old Guard vs Palm Springs Jul 25, 2020 01:08:23 Immortals everywhere! The big movies on Netflix and Hulu are both about people who just won't die.

365 Days Jun 26, 2020 01:00:15 Things get very steamy as Craig and Jake discuss the number 1 movie on Netflix this week, 365 Days. This thing has more violent eroticism than you can shake Massimo's stick at. I mean, it's got it all--a shower scene, foreplay choking, the boat scene, a drone shot sex scene, and we didn't even talk about all the spitting that has TikTok all hot and bothered. Plus, we talk about some of our favorit

What Happened to Monday May 5, 2020 01:08:02 Craig and Jake welcome Eliza and Carlyn to the podcast for a quarantine live-streamed episode of the podcast examining a fictional world in crisis while their real world is in crisis. But the movie crisis is okay because it's filled with sci-fi action and seven Noomi Rapaces.

Suspiria Feb 26, 2019 01:04:29 Time to talk about the craziest, bloodiest, witchiest movie of 2018. Craig and Jake have VERY different points of view on this one, so kick back in your mirrored dance studio, twist yourself into an unspeakable pretzel, and enjoy a vicious argument between friends. iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1329567064 Sticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/movied Google Play: https://play.go

Mission Impossible: Fallout Jan 24, 2019 01:11:24 Not only do we talk about the newest Mission Impossible movie, we go heavy into the whole franchise, get real about Tom Cruise, decide our top three favorite action movies, and, of course, discuss Heather Graham's directorial debut. Man, this podcast really does have it all. Casual Joggers vs. Tom Cruise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KYk_IA_8ok MOVIED! links: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/u

Annhiliation Aug 27, 2018 01:40:19 MOVIED! stays aboard the sci-fi express as we talk about Alex Garland's Annihilation. This episode takes a second to get going as we talk about things Wheezy and YouTube related. Actual episode starts four minutes in. Then, after an hour of sci-fi goodness, we try something new with a half hour of chatting with the livestream. Is that a feature we should keep? We'd love to hear your thoughts. #Tal

The Endless Aug 17, 2018 01:13:55 Time to talk about the super cool indie, horror-tinged, sci-fi flick, The Endless. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead really know how to hinge their stories on funny, interesting characters and dialogue that feels real while crazy-ass stuff starts to happen and fascinating ideas are explored. Now that's filmmaking, y'all. MOVIED! links: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1329567064 Stiche

Ready Player One Jul 31, 2018 01:03:07 This MOVIED! causes yet another rift in Craig and Jake's friendship. Speilberg's return to massive sci-fi spectacle is a little too something for some and just enough oh-yeah for others. This episode was also recorded live on the WheezyWaiter YouTube channel so you can watch us have this conversation if you prefer, just with less crisp audio and no edits: https://youtu.be/Volp-22JjJk #nothingmatte

A Ghost Story Jul 17, 2018 01:15:27 This time we talk about the strange and beautiful A Ghost Story. These are the kinds of movies I love talking about most. The conversation gets so much deeper when the flick isn't so cut and dry. Don't worry though, we plan to talk about a big, blockbustery picture next time. I know you were worried. P.S. I know you weren't worried. #jakehatesmattdamon #hereallydoesnt #craigdoesntbelieveinghosts M

MOVIED! Theme Song Stems Jul 16, 2018 00:00:05 This is just in case anyone wants to make us a theme song. These are the only two parts of our current theme song. Use both, use neither. Any theme songs that are created as an intro to our podcast and a link sent to us here or to moviedpodcast@gamil.com will get used. (Or at least parts of them if you go g-dang crazy and make a super long one.)

Avengers: Infinity War May 31, 2018 01:12:07 It finally happened. An episode where Craig likes the movie more than Jake. For once, the MOVIED! protagonists switch roles as Jake attacks and Craig defends. It had to happen eventually, but who would have guessed that it would happen on a friggin' Avengers movie?!

The Work of Steven Soderbergh Apr 23, 2018 01:09:38 This time we discuss the work of writer/director/cinematographer/editor Steven Soderbergh. Craig is a BIG fan. Special attention is paid to Logan Lucky, the Magic Mike movies, and Schizopolis, but we also talk about Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Out of Sight, The Limey, Erin Brokovich, the Ocean's movies, Bubble, Side Effects, and indie cinema in general. There's not really much in the way of spoilers

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle Apr 12, 2018 01:03:51 So this episode is about 20% talking about Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and just a bunch of talking about the movies we've seen since we last saw each other. Also, a few life updates at the beginning. We haven't talked in a bit, so...yeah. This thing solidly reiterates our non-format of rambling movie conversation. Good times. iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1329567064 Stitcher htt

Get Out Feb 11, 2018 00:57:51 This time we discuss the highly lauded Best Picture contender Get Out.

Brawl in Cell Block 99 Feb 6, 2018 01:09:26 Another beautifully disturbing and hyper-violent entry of MOVIED! as we discuss Brawl in Cell Block 99.

Blade Runner 2049 Jan 19, 2018 01:10:01 So I guess if we talk about sci-fi we go over an hour. On this episode of MOVIED we discuss all of the Jois and sorrows of Blade Runner 2049.

Mother! Jan 12, 2018 00:46:50 This time we talk about a much less popular movie. And weirder. And more disturbing.
