| 4/23/26 | Hello, movie maniacs! On this episode, Dave and Mary talk about James L. Brooks newest (and maybe last?) film Ella McCay – an existential crisis/family trauma movie presented in the guise of a rom-com. Brooks’ films are famously meandering, and trade realistic dialogue for sparkling wit. Ella McCay is no exception. The question is…do you […] | — | |||||||
| 4/9/26 | Hello, movie maniacs! On this episode, Dave and Mary talk about Project Hail Mary. They discuss the careers of the directing team Lord and Miller, as well as the career of screenwriter Drew Goddard. And they talk an awful lot about the movie itself! They also talk about the revival of movie trailers – just […] | — | |||||||
| 3/26/26 | Hello, movie maniacs! Mary is away this week, taking in the sun and fun at Disneyworld in Orlando, FLA.

Could she have made more […] | — | |||||||

Mary and David sat down and they both hashed out a list of their Top Ten favourite films of 2025. What films made their lists and where do they rank, and how did Mary’s list differ from David’s? All very […] | — | |||||||
| 2/26/26 | Hello, movie maniacs! Please note this week’s episode jumped the queue and references the episode we had previously recorded. We were just so excited to support this movie! On this episode of The Fansplainers, Dave and Mary gush extensively about the wonderful film Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. They thought it was really […] | — | |||||||
| 2/13/26 | Hello, movie maniacs! This week Mary and Dave celebrate the return of Sam Raimi to being…er…Sam Raimi with the very enjoyable Send Help!

They praise the ridiculously talented Rachel […] | — | |||||||
| 2/5/26 | Hello, film fanciers! Mary and Dave continue their conversation about Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s fabulous Later franchise – this time talking about Nia DaCosta’s snappy, terrifying, joyous and beautiful second chapter of the 28 Years Later trilogy. Mary and Dave have loved these new iterations of the series and think you will too. Not […] | — | |||||||
| 1/29/26 | Hello, film fanciers! We think that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland (with Nia DaCosta) have created an amazing series of films that both revel in and transcend the horror genre. So this week, we celebrate the release of 28 Days Later: The Bone Temple with the first part of a long and involved conversation about […] | — | |||||||
| 1/15/26 | Hello, cinema sickos! Mary and Dave ring in the new year by not continuing their McQuarrying series but instead discussing Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet – the story of Agnes Hathaway’s courtship and marriage to William Shakespeare, and the movie all the old folks are flocking to theatres to see! Even if you don’t know what Metamucil […] | — | |||||||
| 1/3/26 | Our McQuarrying series will not be appearing this week because Dave and Mary went to see the new Safdie Brother film Marty Supreme – the usual Safdie chaos with a twist of Timothée Chalamet playing a young man who gets into a lot of trouble with his balls! Not sure what to think of Marty […] | — | |||||||

| 12/20/25 | Hello, film fanatics! McQuarrying has been postponed for the Christmas break. This week Mary and David have a spiritual tussle over Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man. Can this iteration of the Knives Out franchise possibly be as good as the first two instalments or will trilogy derangement syndrome take another victim? Let Mary and […] | — | |||||||
| 12/11/25 | Hello, movie maniacs! McQuarrying has been postponed again because David and Mary went to the theatres to see a couple of good old fashioned action flicks.

| 11/6/25 | Hello, movie maniacs! McQuarrying is on hiatus for another week as Mary and Dave take a deep dive into a frozen lake to discuss Scott Derrickson’s Black Phone 2.

| 10/23/25 | Hello, reel ravers! This week, Mary and Dave take a pause on McQuarrying and talk about Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film One Battle After Another in a discursive conversation that takes in conspiracy theories, the works of Thomas Pynchon, WWI political shenanigans, a spirited defense of Leonardo DiCaprio, a brief Beach Boys aside, a heartfelt […] | — | |||||||
| 10/9/25 | Hello, movie maniacs! Mary and David continue McQuarrying this week as Christopher McQuarrie is freed from director jail and given the reins of Paramount’s newest cash cow franchise Jack Reacher with a star hot off the hit film Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. He may not be as tall as the titular hero, but could […] | — | |||||||
| 9/25/25 | Hello, movie maniacs! McQuarrying is back, baby! And Mary and Dave prove it by discussing Valkyrie, the 2008 film directed by Bryan Singer, written by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Tom Cruise and a host of British goodies playing German baddies who turn out to be German goodies. How could a film with Tom Cruise out […] | — | |||||||
| 9/11/25 | Hello, film freaks! McQuarrying is being postponed another week – sorry Valkyrie fans! – as David and Mary discuss the first two films of Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s “lesbian B-movie trilogy” Drive-Away Dolls and Honey Don’t.

| 8/28/25 | This week Mary and David explore more Cruise/McQuarrie films in their ongoing series McQuarrying and review the new War of the Worlds starring a heavily sedated Ice Cube. It's a film everybody's talking about... ...negatively so let Mary and David fansplain it for you. | — | |||||||

| 7/17/25 | This week Mary and Dave continue their new series McQuarrying - an overview of Christopher McQuarrie's movies with Tom Cruise - by going forward into the past to ask, "Who is Keyser Söze?" | — | |||||||
| 7/3/25 | This week Mary and Dave start off their new series McQuarrying by watching Christopher McQuarrie's directorial debut The Way of the Gun, a neo-noir with its 1990s irony-laced heart very much on its sleeve. It should have been a fun, smart crime thriller, but it isn't. Why? Well, let Dave and Mary fansplain it for you. | — | |||||||
| 6/19/25 | This week Mary and Dave explore Wes Anderson's latest quirkfest The Phoenician Scheme and quietly dab their eyes watching Mike Flanagan's third Stephen King adaptation, The Life of Chuck. | — | |||||||
