Hosts Martin and Gretchen talk movies. Each episode we choose one movie to start the conversation. From there, all movies, genres and topics could come up. It's about the love of films and the love of talking about films with the people we most want to talk with. No criticism. Not reviews. We just love movies and we hope you love the ones we choose to talk about.Copyright Martin Vavra Art

    Check the Gate - Heavy Metal
    Apr 30 2026
    It's one of the greatest animated movies of all time. It's literally the personification of sex, drugs and rock & roll. With aliens, zombies, robots and a warrior queen. Ripped John Candy. Macho Eugene Levy. Cheap Trick at the top of their musical game. Dan O'Bannon is writing some of his coolest work every. This film hits all the nostalgia cylinders. Come along with Martin and Gretchen as we talk about Heavy Metal.

    Check the Gate - Streets of Fire
    Apr 15 2026
    Sorry for the long break. March was madness but we are back with a new episode, and it's a great one. Streets of Fire, the 1984 Michael Paré taking the leading man role. Willem Dafoe doing his best Green Goblin before Spider-Man was even on the Marvel map. Diane Lane being Diane Lane. Academy Award winner Amy Madigan being epic. Rick Moranis as you've never seen him before. It's a round robin of action, drama, rockabilly biker fun. Latex bib overalls. Sledgehammer duals. Seriously, what more could anyone want?

  • Check the Gate - The Muppet Movie

    Check the Gate - The Muppet Movie
    Feb 19 2026
    This episode is the palate cleanser we have been needing. The Muppet Movie is pure joy, and you definitely need that in your life. This wonderful film from 1979 is exemplary filmmaking. Every aspect of this film is perfection. The effects. The sets. The cameos. There is no aspect of this film that isn't perfect and wonderful.
