À propos de ce contenu audio

Please Like What I Like is another movie discussion podcast, but give it a try. PLWIL works like a book club but with movies: we pick a different film every week (we try to stick with titles that are currently streaming somewhere), you watch the movie, then you listen to us talk about it. This means there is the slightest bit of homework before listening, but that homework is a film that at least one of us loves and highly recommends, and since everyone shows up having recently seen the thing, that means no drawn-out play-by-play synopses of basic plot details. The discussions tend to be chill and pleasant, and this could be a fun way to expand your horizons, get the most out of your streaming subscriptions, and really dive deep into the details of your hobby. Feel free to skip the episodes when you aren't interested in the film: this show does not necessitate listening in chronological order and hopefully we will be back next time with something more to your tastes.

We are aiming for two episode releases per month, and distributing as widely as we can. We don't have a dedicated place for feedback and community-building yet (I will add information here when and if that changes), but for now, comments can be left on our youtube channel under each episode, and reviews wherever you are seeing the show listed will likely get back to us as well.

    • Please Like What I Like Episode 015 - Pacific Rim
      Oct 30 2025

      While it's unlikely to fit in well with your Halloween movie marathon, we do technically have a monster movie recommendation here… kaiju are a type of monster, after all… Anyway, you're very likely to be familiar with Pacific Rim already, and it doesn't seem like the sort of fare we usually feature, but it's a favorite of ours, and we had as much to say about it as we do about most movies we've talked about on PLWIL, so, please indulge us a bit here. There's also some fun tangents about Tolkien, Gainax, anime clichés, etc…

      If you're a Pacific Rim fan who's just stumbled across our podcast, then welcome! Please don't be scared off by the artsy fantasy selections we often make: if you liked this episode, you might find more to enjoy! I usually recommend Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown as a great entry point, since it's a fun movie and discussion, but if you love this movie, then Dragon Inn or Dead Leaves would likely be up your alley, as might our next one…


      Right! The next one… We're considering whipping up a quick bonus episode revolving around a certain related film that we mentioned in this one, but the next actual episode will be on the noir classic, Jacques Tourneur's 1947 film, Out of the Past. I don't see it listed as currently streaming in the US, unfortunately, though it seems to be available on Japanese Amazon Prime if you want to try that, and there are some… unofficial… uploads of it here and there if you take a quick look around, not that you heard it from me. Personally, I don't see why seventy year old films shouldn't be public domain yet, myself.

    • Please Like What I Like Episode 014 - Mister Klein
      Jul 14 2025

      Joe introduces Michael to a very unique and interesting little gem that I'm having a very difficult time summarizing without spoiling... it's about a guy whose life falls apart under a Nazi occupation, but aside from that, you should just watch it, especially if you like suspense movies. It's on Criterion. Hey, sorry about the wait on this one. It's just us two making these and sometimes real life gets in the way of editing them.

      Next one is Pacific Rim and I'm very excited. Giant robots, baby! You can watch it on Netflix in the US or HBO Max in most Spanish speaking countries.

    • Please Like What I Like Episode 013 - Mister Thank You (Arigato-san)
      Mar 27 2025

      We're back after some setbacks, with an episode about our earliest movie yet, 1936's Mister Thank You, written and directed by Hiroshi Shimizu, a popular silent film director who was an inspiration to such masters as Ozu and Mizoguchi but never got much recognition in the West. This might be his first talkie and it came out during a turbulent time in Japanese history, so it is as interesting as a historical artifact as it is as a work of art in itself. Like Tape, this is a very minimalist project in scope, taking place almost entirely within one bus trip (we don't bring Stagecoach up in the discussion but I now realize they are conceptually related in this way), so if you've been keeping up, your enjoyment of Tape will likely indicate whether you will dig this or not. It's on Criterion Channel and also its currently free to stream on Plex at the moment I upload the episode.

      I should give you a heads up that we had some issues with Joe's audio on this recording and it may be difficult to make out what he is saying sometimes.

      Next one will be on Mister Klein, so it's a Mister Mister double feature. Directed by Joseph Losey during his time working in France. The film is in French and set there during the Nazi occupation. Right now, as far as I know, the only place you can stream it legally is the Criterion Channel. Hopefully the next one doesn't take as long to edit as this one did.
