Perfect Movie
by The Two Gomers
A podcast 11 years in the making, Anthony and Steven from the “Two Gomers Run For Their Lives” podcast take on a new mission: to curate a list of perfect movies and make your world a little more delightful. They went from couch to marathon, and now they’re making their way back to the couch again. Returning to their pop-culture roots, the Two Gomers will bring a movie they love to “trial” each week, presenting evidence that attempts to prove why that movie is, in fact, perfect. They’ll entertain you on their quest, and invite you along for the ride. Happy Viewing, and Happy Listening!
Episodes
-
Is Elf a Perfect Movie?
It’s THE modern Christmas classic, and our last movie of the year. It’s got great performances, laughs, and oodles of heart…it’s ELF! But is it perfect? That’s up to you, but we can tell you this: we had a ton of fun recording this episode. Did you HEAR that?? ** This episode of Perfect movie was...
-
Is The American President a Perfect Movie?
Did the Gomers pick this movie because they want to feel something positive about politics during November 2024? Even if it’s imagining that the president has a trombone-playing, vest wearing daughter, Micheal J Fox as an advisor, and an impossibly handsome head of hair? Yes. Yes they did. It’s…
more -
Is Ghostbusters a Perfect Movie?
Who You Gomer Call? It’s spooky season, and we take a break from only doing movies with the word “October” in the title in October and actually do a movie with some scares. Sure it’s a sci-fi comedy, but those arms that come out of the chair and drag Sigourney Weaver across the floor, totally...
-
Is Napoleon Dynamite a Perfect Movie?
It’s back-to-school season, and the Gomers wanted to put a movie on trial set in High School. And honestly, what’s better than 2004’s Napoleon Dynamite? Weird, quirky, silly, and absolutely unique (until everyone copied it), it was pure joy to put this movie on trial. Gosh! ** This episode of...
-
Is Close Encounters of the Third Kind a Perfect Movie?
Re Mi Do Do Sol Those five tones mean something. Hopefully it’s that this movie, which is DEEP in Steven’s nostalgia, is perfect. But if not, that’s ok. It’s still an incredible musical greeting. May you always be filled with wonder! ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one...
-
Is National Treasure a Perfect Movie?
Can you guess the three-letter word that both Gomers chose for their first piece of evidence attempting to prove to one another and you, the listener, that National Treasure is in fact Perfect? Nicolas Cage aka Benjamin Franklin Gates could, and he probably wouldn’t even have to press the E and…
more -
Is Batman (1989) a Perfect Movie?
It’s another movie that, the more we dig into it, the more we understand why we love what we love. It’s a quirky, goofy, dark, slightly unhinged take on Anthony’s favorite superhero, and for us, it just WORKS. Come for the Batman chat, stick around for our Batmobile rankings. And please, for the...
-
Is The Truman Show a Perfect Movie?
Know what would be weird? If we, the Two Gomers, were just paid Hollywood actors recording this podcast just for you. Because EVERYONE around you is a paid Hollywood actor in a reality TV show that you star in. Honestly, wouldn’t that be just SO WEIRD? Get ready for a lot of this kind of thing in...
-
Is Dune Part Two a Perfect Movie?
It’s a thing as rare as spice melange when the Gomers call their shot and put a brand new movie on the Perfect Movie main feed. But their combined love for the first one, the stellar cast, the land- and sound-scapes, and the fact that Denis Villeneuve has yet to let them down made Dune Part Two a...
-
Is Happy Gilmore a Perfect Movie?
This is a pivot, but not that far: it’s our first Sandler, and we’ve decided to cover his second movie, a personal favorite of both Gomers. We talk 90-minute 90s comedies, the proper balance between jokes and plot, Anthony’s golden jacket epiphany, and probably too much Billy Madison since that’s...
-
Is The Godfather a Perfect Movie?
We thought, after Return of the Jedi, we’d do a nice simple one with no pressure. Both of us do our best to respond to people who have asked us “Why would YOU like THAT movie?” If you don’t agree…well, I guess we could just put a horse head in your bed and see if that helps. Leave the gun,...
-
Is Return of the Jedi a Perfect Movie?
We continue our tradition of working our way through the Star Wars movies in release order every January (HANuary), and it’s time for Episode VI. Pyrotechnics! Puppets! Metal Bikinis! Low brass hits! And we have to talk about the Ewok in the room. Return of the Jedi is Steven’s favorite – hope…
more -
Is Rocky a Perfect Movie?
Sylvester Stallone has the perfect face for a boxing movie. But does his writing and acting elevate this 70s classic into Perfect Movie territory? It’s our final movie of 2023, and we’re going out with a bang as we put Rocky on trial. Pet stores! Sweatsuits! Boxer catalogues! Kissing! Throwing...
-
Is Little Women (2019) a Perfect Movie?
Two regular guys discuss four little women – what’s better on a crisp fall day? It’s a Steven’s Choice, and the guys’ first foray into 19th century literature. Gentlemen calling! Leather binding! Book burning! Star-crossed loving! Writing montaging! Simultaneous timeline running! This movie is…
more -
Is October Sky a Perfect Movie?
Rain! Autumn! Rudy vibes! Problem solving! And a space shuttle launches at the end! Any doubt why this is an Anthony’s Choice this episode? The guys discuss the star power, the emotion power, and the coal power that makes October Sky worth sending up to Khan. ** This episode of Perfect movie was...
-
Is Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure a Perfect Movie?
Two Gomers talk Three Maniacs – Paul Reubens, Tim Burton, and Danny Elfman – who made a movie that has had a massive cultural impact on the landscape of film over the past 40 years…and it’s about a guy who lost his bike. Also: which sneakers did we wear, or wish we wore, in the 90s? Who’s better,...
-
Is Broadcast News a Perfect Movie?
The guys dig into this “Grown-Up 80s” classic and talk about: people who are good at their jobs, taking emotional breaks, the best Pixar voice actors, falling in love with people who aren’t in love with you, shocking celebrity brothers, and LOTS of Holly Hunter. Plus, a surprise reveal from…
more -
Is Speed a Perfect Movie?
Pop quiz, hot shot: Was it a baby in that stroller that Sandra Bullock hit with a bus, or was it just cans? The only way to find out is to listen to this episode of Perfect Movie, where we talk Keanu Reeves’ guns, Keanu Reeves’ hair, Keanu Reeves’ white t-shirt, and Keanu Reeves’ uneaten muffin....
-
Is Raiders of the Lost Ark a Perfect Movie?
What is there to say about this movie that hasn’t been said on hundreds of other podcasts? We don’t know, but we manage to fill up almost two hours gushing and marveling and loving this film. We talk action cold opens, Tom Selleck, the difference between sets and set-pieces, flies crawling into...
-
Is Wayne’s World a Perfect Movie?
Party on, Anthony! Party on, Steven! We (finally!) watch this gem of a 90s comedy, and remember the joy of the 90s with gusto. Can I movie this fun be perfect as well? We hope so…Khan needs this one. ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus...
-
Is Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan a Perfect Movie?
Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! We think you are very cool. Love, the Two Gomers. It’s another one of the episodes where we GUSH. Anthony talks about the importance of the Star Trek brand in his life and family, Steven talks about how he likes it when characters in a movie actually act like human beings…
more -
Is Big a Perfect Movie?
Tom Hanks, the only member of the Perfect Movie six-timers club, breaks out in a big (ahem) way in this 80s comedy that the guys have only reference like a billion times in the past. It’s time to put Big on trial! And to consider what makes Josh Baskin truly special: he is himself. We are jealous...
-
Is The Iron Giant a Perfect Movie?
This one’s mostly Steven making noises about how much he loves a 60-foot robot before he can’t talk for a month. Also, this one’s for professionals only. ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. To hear new episodes a year early – and…
more -
Is The Empire Strikes Back a Perfect Movie?
The action! The romance! The twist of all twists! The part where Chewie runs around with 3PO on his back like a fussy metal backpack! This movie is so good, even when everyone starts calling Han Han (rhyming with pan). But is it Perfect? I know. ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and...
-
Is The Santa Clause a Perfect Movie?
Facial prosthetics. Glottal fry. Judge Reinholdt. 90s jeans. Santa murder. What about this doesn’t sound perfect to you?! Happy Tinseling (not just for decoration)! ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. To hear new episodes a year...
-
Is Steel Magnolias a Perfect Movie? (with Jessica Grahmann)
Julia Roberts look-alike Jessica Grahmann joins the guys to finally talk about a movie with women in it. 90s yearbook pictures! Harmonica-infused movie scores! Eating out of open containers while shopping at the grocery store! The five stages of grief! Laughing at gravesites! And so much more....
-
Is The Hunt For Red October a Perfect Movie?
For the first time, we put a movie on trial that Steven’s never seen! Anthony does his best to help him follow the plot, overcome his submarine-confusion, figure out who’s a bad guy and who’s a good guy, make sense of the accents, ignore some shady green screen, and see the movie’s perfection....
-
Is The Shawshank Redemption a Perfect Movie?
Some say it’s the best movie of the 90s. Some say it’s the best movie EVER MADE. Are those people telling the truth, or are they being obtuse? We dig deep into this Stephen King based, Frank Darabont directed juggernaut and try to find answers. We hope… ** This episode of Perfect movie was…
more -
Is That Thing You Do! a Perfect Movie? (with Kevin Bates)
Tom Hanks did a thing: he directed his passion project about a one-hit-wonder pop band in the 60s. Well, he didn’t direct it in the 60s, he directed in the 90s. And it’s a good thing too, or else he wouldn’t have been able to cast Steve Zahn in it. Friend of the podcast Kevin Bates guests as we…
more -
Is O Brother, Where Art Thou? a Perfect Movie? (with Jason Norem)
That’s a lot of question marks! But for guest Jason Norem (Runner’s Block: I Need a Drink…Or Six) there is no question: he loves O Brother, Where Art Thou? and does his best (with a little help from his Gomers) to prove that it’s perfect. So much dust! So many weird line-readings! So much music!...
-
Is Father of the Bride a Perfect Movie?
It’s a Steven’s Choice for Father’s Day, and he does his best to prove that this frothy, light, low-stakes movie about a semi-obsessive dad and his entitled daughter (and his goofy wedding planner! Don’t forget him!) does what it sets out to do and is, indeed perfect. Welcome to the 90s, Mr.…
more -
Is The Firm a Perfect Movie?
We had to do a last-minute pivot, but you could do a lot worse than The Firm as your Plan B! We talk fun first acts, diabetes, bald caps, money, the magic of ’93, film adaptions of novels (including Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and Stephen King), racks of ribs, and Tom Cruise running. This is a...
-
Is Interstellar a Perfect Movie?
Wormholes! Dust storms! Crying! TARS! Playing baseball in space! Organ music! With all that, how could a movie NOT be perfect? Join us as we take a deep dive into Interstellar and our feelings around it. And keep an eye out on Instagram to vote for yourself on whether Interstellar is a Perfect...
-
Is Chariots of Fire a Perfect Movie?
It’s race month for the Gomers, and they’re putting THE running movie on trial. They discuss the unique “about-something-ness” of sports movies, running in wool trousers and suspenders, and electronic music scores. And of course, a ton of fun stuff along the way! Happy Running – and Happy…
more -
Is STAR WARS a Perfect Movie?
We asked for your vote, and you gave it! January is now Star Wars month on Perfect Movie, and 2022 is the OG: Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope! We talk our own Star Wars origin stories and what made this movie the cultural touchstone that it is. Also, a couple big things you’ve probably heard a...
-
Is Hook a Perfect Movie?
Oft discussed over the past 14 years, we finally put Spielberg’s least favorite movie on trial. Does it achieve Perfect status despite, or even because of, its flaws (á la A Charlie Brown Christmas)? Or will Julia Roberts’ pixie cut push Steven over the edge? Anthony and guest Kosmos Ververelli,...
-
Is When Harry Met Sally… a Perfect Movie? (with Graylin Porter)
Graylin Porter (the Blue Dot Podcast, the “It’s Too %$*#! Hot Out” episode of Runner’s Block) joins us to talk about her favorite movie of all time and to balance out our Harrys with her Sally as we discuss all things Meg Ryan, Billy Crystal, Carrie Fisher, Nora Ephron, and about a million other...

more -
Is Terminator 2 a Perfect Movie?
There’s no fate but what you make, and there’s no movie quite like T2. Is it the best sequel ever made? How freaking amazing is Linda Hamilton? Why does every dumb thing Arnold says work? And what would have made a much better Terminator 3? **This episode of Perfect movie was recorded and…

Is Die Hard a Perfect Movie?
It spawned a hundred knock-offs. It redefined the action movie, the action hero, and the action bad guy. And it has the best-placed f-bomb in movie history (twice!). It’s Die Hard, and we can’t wait to put it on trial! Merry Christmas, yippee-ky-yay, and Happy Listening! So what do you think? Is...
