Episode 30: Ex Machina (2014)

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!

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.

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]

Episode 36: Jaws (1975)

Welcome back to V.I.M.P! Today we’re “diving in” to Wet Month with Jaws (1975), Steven Spielberg’s shark-infested thriller that convinced an entire generation to be afraid of the ocean. When a great white shark starts turning beach days into crime scenes, it’s up to a small-town police chief, a marine biologist, and a grizzled shark hunter to stop the killing before the rogue shark takes another victim.  But first we ask the important questions - how many calories are actually in a human? And how many calories does a great white shark need? The answer may shock you! Other pivotal topics include fast food, lip filler, and childhood trauma.
