    A Thank You More Than a Goodbye.
    Aug 25 2025
    Henrique Couto offers a heartfelt closing message after ninety Do You Even Movie? conversations about cinema, friendship and the films that shape our lives. He thanks everyone who listened, wrote in and joined the discussion, emphasizing that the audience made the podcast possible for nearly two years after Henrique and David Denoyer completed their Freddy’s Nightmares series.
    This farewell is about gratitude rather than loss. Henrique assures listeners that he and David remain friends and moviegoing companions, then shares where both hosts can be found: Henrique continues telling stories through Weekly Spooky, while David contributes to This Week in Geek and tracks his viewing on Letterboxd. The microphones may be quiet, but their shared enthusiasm for movies—and their appreciation for the community—continues.

  • Air Bud (1997): Disney’s Dog Basketball Classic

    Air Bud (1997): Disney’s Dog Basketball Classic
    Aug 19 2025
    Henrique and David revisit Air Bud (1997), the 1990s Disney family sports comedy set in Fernfield, Washington. Kevin Zegers plays Josh Framm, a grieving new kid who struggles to fit in after moving with his mother and sister. At an overgrown basketball court, he befriends a stray golden retriever, names him Buddy and discovers the dog can sink baskets. Their bond gives Josh the confidence to leave the bench, join the Timberwolves and face the question that made the movie famous: is there actually a rule against a dog playing basketball?
    Directed by Charles Martin Smith, the film pairs Buddy’s athletic spectacle with a story about loss, abuse and belonging. Michael Jeter is memorably slimy and slapstick-heavy as Buddy’s former owner, a cruel clown named Norm, while Bill Cobbs brings warmth as retired basketball player Arthur Chaney, the school custodian who becomes a team-first coach. The hosts trace the buried-newspaper gag, Josh surrendering his late father’s basketball to protect Buddy, the championship comeback and the unexpectedly legalistic courtroom finale in which Buddy chooses his family.
    The discussion asks how much of Air Bud survives in childhood memory beyond Buddy draining shots, then examines the fuller story found on a revisit: a frightened stray, Josh’s grief, a bullying coach hurling basketballs at a player and Chaney teaching teamwork without a ball. Both hosts praise the movie’s heart, brisk family-film construction, Jeter’s physical comedy and the remarkable dog performance; Buddy’s successful baskets were achieved without visual effects. Their nostalgia detour also recalls school “Monthly Movies” and where Air Bud sat beside staples such as Hook, Angels in the Outfield and Beethoven.
    Beyond the original, David recounts his endurance run through the Air Bud and Air Buddies follow-ups, from football, soccer, baseball and volleyball to sled racing, space travel, holiday mythology, treasure hunting and superhero powers. That marathon opens a wider conversation about animals-playing-sports movies, including Ed, MVP: Most Valuable Primate, Soccer Dog and the mule-football comedy Gus. The hosts also cover Buddy’s appearances as Comet on Full House and in Fluke. A side conversation weighs Zach Cregger’s Weapons against Barbarian, especially their nonlinear structures, slow-burn setups and earned payoffs, before Shiloh, Strays and Beethoven enter the dog-movie recommendations.

  • Blade (1998): Wesley Snipes and the Daywalker Legacy

    Blade (1998): Wesley Snipes and the Daywalker Legacy
    Aug 12 2025
    Henrique Couto and David Denoyer revisit BLADE (1998), the R-rated Marvel vampire action film that introduced movie audiences to Wesley Snipes’ Eric Brooks: the Daywalker with a vampire’s strength, a human conscience and none of the undead’s sunlight vulnerability. Director Stephen Norrington and screenwriter David S. Goyer turn a comic-book adaptation into a martial-arts-heavy horror thriller, and the hosts place its success between the fallout from Batman & Robin and the superhero boom that followed.
    The story begins with Blade’s birth after his pregnant mother is attacked, then follows hematologist Karen Jenson (N’Bushe Wright) after Quinn bites her in a hospital morgue. Blade and his mentor-armorer Whistler (Kris Kristofferson) race to stop Karen’s transformation while tracking Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff), an ambitious turned vampire seeking the power of the blood god La Magra. Their discussion follows Frost’s rebellion against the pure-blood council, the vampire archives, Blade’s serum and the temple ritual that makes his blood essential to Frost’s plan.
    The episode digs into the unforgettable slaughterhouse blood-rave opening: its pounding techno, goth-club imagery, deliberately wasteful spectacle and the practical headache of plumbing a room to rain blood. Henrique and David ask whether anyone besides Snipes could have balanced Blade’s swagger, martial arts and comic-book silliness, while celebrating Kristofferson’s effortlessly cool Whistler and Donald Logue’s repeatedly dismembered Quinn. They also trace the striking range of 1990s vampire cinema, from romantic Gothic horror to action and comedy.
    The hosts find the movie gloriously excessive, funny and still influential, even when its late-1990s digital effects and plotting become ridiculous. One considers it a strong rental that may become an own-it for nostalgic action and superhero fans; the other calls it an outright buy for its trailblazing mix of vampire horror, hard-R violence and superhero spectacle. Mortal Kombat and John Carpenter’s Vampires enter the conversation as companion pieces for the same era and energy.
    Beyond Blade, the recorded sidebars compare Liam Neeson’s comic presence with Leslie Nielsen’s legacy in The Naked Gun, consider what long gaps between installments mean through the Freaky Friday films, and explore memorable gross-out cinema. It is a detailed, affectionate review of the cast, lore, action design, soundtrack and genre impact behind one of Marvel’s defining pre-MCU movies.
