Episode 33: Catch Me If You Can (2002)

Episode 41: It (2017)

We all float down here on V.I.M.P. - and today we’re discussing Darian’s pick for summer month - It (2017). BUT FIRST…Gypsy Rose, the evolution of school bullies, and 80’s movie accuracy? We also dive a bit into the new prequel series, Welcome to Derry. Did it do the movie justice, or was it a cheesy mess? Why is there so much lore?? Then, we get into the nitty gritty of the movie. Did Georgie ask to be eaten by Pennywise? Was Bill in over his head? Was the ending satisfying enough to make this film a VERY important movie? Listen in and find out! Remember - only virgins don’t listen to V.I.M.P.

Episode 40: Do the Right Thing (1989)

> This week we’re stepping into the sweltering Brooklyn heat for Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (1989). The neighborhood tension is boiling over, Sal’s Pizzeria is a questionable mess but hey, at least the cinematography is flawless! We’re gonna talk some shit in this one...The heavy realities of police violence, capitalism, and everyday micro-aggressions, while still finding time to debate Rosie Perez's iconic opening dance and the exact logistics of Radio Rahim’s boombox. It turns out a decades-old summer day still burns just as bright (and chaotic) today. > > Also, look forward to our next Episode where we get into the nitty gritty of a clown named Pennywise.

Episode 39: Titanic (1997)

Today on V.I.M.P the captain requests that you put on your life vests, because it’s Eli’s pick for “Wet Month” — James Cameron’s Titanic (1997). A beautiful love story between a rich girl and a poor boy on an “unsinkable” ship that would have TOTALLY worked out if the ship had not, ya know, sunk. BUT FIRST…an interesting game of madlibs (spoiler: Eli does NOT know what a noun is), shit-talking City Walk, and discussing the 2026 World Cup (Goooo sports!). Then, we discuss some of the questions that have haunted us for decades…why can’t Jack get on the door with her? Why can’t he find something else to float on? WHY DOES ROSE THROW THAT NECKLACE INTO THE OCEAN? Come aboard—this is one voyage that's much more fun when everyone survives. Also, tune in next week for the start of a new theme - Movies that feel like summer!

Episode 38: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Welcome back to V.I.M.P! Today we’re covering Jaiden’s pick for wet month - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). Set sail with us as we discuss the Gore Verbinski classic that is…based on a Disneyland ride?? No but seriously, that ride rocks and so does this movie. So sit back, enjoy some rum, and hang out with us while we talk about the ins and outs of this nostalgic story.  Join our Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/cw/VeryImportantMoviePodcast?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaARKk2lleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAadsirmH9pehHnI9aNB44uroxWQNZcgS9MU0jnaJorXTEGLKfOs2QhPNuv5-Xw_aem_z8Z8Rn9eLk_S3PHInP0GMg]

Episode 37: Life of Pi (2012)

Hello and welcome back to V.I.M.P! Happy…Thursday?? Yes, this episode is late - we apologize for the delay. We were having some technical difficulties with this episode. But hey, what else is new? Hey Riverside, fix your sh**!  This week, we're setting sail with Life of Pi (2012)—the movie that somehow convinced us that being stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with a 450-pound Bengal tiger might be a character-building experience. Join us as we discuss the religious themes, survival tactics, and plot twist that makes this movie so beautiful and devastating at the same time.  Join our Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/cw/VeryImportantMoviePodcast?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaARKk2lleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAadsirmH9pehHnI9aNB44uroxWQNZcgS9MU0jnaJorXTEGLKfOs2QhPNuv5-Xw_aem_z8Z8Rn9eLk_S3PHInP0GMg]
