Making Me Watch Movies

Author: Anthony, Jake, and Matt

Theres a new gold standard in film criticism, and its three guys with microphones and absolutely no credentials.Jake is a connoisseur of Asian cinema and films that remind you what it means to be human. Matt prefers movies about deeply disturbed peoplethe kind that leave you wanting to take a long, scalding shower. And Anthony? He loves "basic" movies, the kind that make you feel like a red-blooded, flag-waving American.Together, they curate the most eclectic, unpredictable, and undeniably superior film library (which, to this day, has never repeated a directorbecause we have taste). Each episode, they force-feed you cinematic greatness and then aggressively debate whether the movie was actually worth your time.Welcome to Making Me Watch Moviesthe only movie podcast that matters.MMwM is a bimonthley (lol) podcast available anywhere that matters! YouTube.com/@MakingMeWatchMoviesInstagram.com/making_me_watch_movies_podcast/

The Hunt (2012) Directed by Thomas Vinterberg
Wednesday, 30 April, 2025

The movie you’re making me watch today is The Hunt (2012), a gut-punching Danish drama directed by Thomas Vinterberg that’ll leave you questioning everything about truth, trust, and mob mentality. Starring Mads Mikkelsen in a raw, heart-shattering performance as Lucas, a kindergarten teacher whose life unravels when a child’s innocent lie sparks accusations of abuse, this film dives deep into the chaos of a tight-knit community turning on one of its own. Vinterberg, the Dogme 95 rebel behind Festen, crafts a chilling, no-holds-barred look at how fear and gossip can spiral into a modern-day witch hunt. Join us as we unpack Mikkelsen’s Cannes-winning intensity, the film’s haunting visuals, and why this Oscar-nominated thriller still hits like a freight train. Is it a masterpiece of human nature or a brutal test of endurance? Let’s argue it out!Message us DIRECTLY to tell us how much you hated this episodeSupport the showFOLLOW US: INSTAGRAM - @MMwM_podcast TIKTOK - @MMwM_podcast YOUTUBE - @MMwM_podcast ALSO: @anthony_eslami @goldenroad85 @_schwizzyy_
