Perfect Movie

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…

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 recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. To hear new episodes a year early –…

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 The American President, and it’s a great ep! Happy voting. ** This episode of Perfect movie was recorded…

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 crumpling up that rug? Come on. Don’t be frightened, Nation, we are here to hold your hand through this…

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 Perfect movie was recorded and released one year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. To hear new episodes a…

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 year ago this month on The Bonus Disc. To hear new episodes a year early – and get access to their…

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 the L twice. Enjoy this rollicking ep about this rollicking summer blockbuster, which, it turns out,…

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 love of all that is holy, never rub another man’s rhubarb. ** This episode of Perfect movie was…

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 this episode as we put one of our favorite movies, The Truman Show, on trial. ** This episode of…

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 safe bet. Did it pay off? As always, you’ll be the judge of that. And if not, hopefully Steven’s…

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 what we pivoted away from. Also, Steven laughs for five minutes straight trying to explain Chubs…
