Movie Bones is a film podcast adventure, exploring the rich history of movies available from free-streaming platforms to find out how much of it still has value, whether it's in the form of thought-provoking art-house films to cheesy cult classics. Justin Miller and Ryan Spurlock subject themselves to it all, and render judgement.

And because the best adventures are shared, we hope you'll watch them alongside us. Especially because we talk spoilers. Did we mention that? I guess now we did. New episodes every Wednesday.


If any of this sounds like your jam, feel free to follow us on your favorite podcast platform.

Here's how we rate the films we dig up, based, naturally, on that most famous film archaeologist himself, Indiana Jones...


• “Fortune & Glory” films are pure gold. They're movies to go back to again and again. These are the films would find a great home in your physical movie library, if you've still got one - they're that good.

• “Trust Me” films are imperfect gems that still offer a really good time. Buy a digital copy to stream if you want to make sure you always have access to it.

• “Belongs in a Museum”: If you think of museums as places you pay to get in to see things you wouldn’t necessarily want to bring home with you, then you’ve got a good feel for this category. If you can’t find these movies for free on sites like Tubi, you might still consider renting them off one of the paid platforms when the mood strikes.

• “Bad Dates”, happen when ‘free’ is the only price you’d be willing to pay to experience it, and only because at least one person showed up to make a good film. It could be the special effects were ahead of their time, the stunning cinematography, or some other aspect. But generally speaking, these are once-and-done films. Once you’ve seen it, you’ve gotten everything out of it you’ll ever get.

• “Don’t Look At It”. Movies so bad they’ll melt your face off, whether from boredom or some really horrible sensibilities, and nobody doing ‘their best’ could make it worth enduring again. If you've taken the chance to watch it along side Ryan and me, we make no apologies, because part of what makes this podcast journey unique is the shared risk of the occasional exploding head!

• “Nuke the Fridge”; A category reserved for films that manage to be fun because they’re bad in entertaining ways. You know the kind. This is kind of a ‘modifier’ category, that’ll often be applied alongside one of the other ratings.

• “Kill it with FIRE”; A new basement category, to only be used sparingly. This is our "Break glass in case of Emergency" basket. Films in this category don't just have horrible sensibilities, but go out of their way to feature them as an integral part of the plot and theme so you can't just wait them out. First appears in our review of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", and hopefully will never again!
