Movie Man Dem | Happy New Year, Everyone's Depressed (Cocktail)




When the clock strikes midnight most anyone that legally can will have a drink in their hand, possibly prepared by an expert. We’re taking the time to get into the movie that honours those experts, that was also filmed in our home country. We went in thinking, Tom Cruise, some drinks, the beach, what a fun time! Oh how wrong we were.Here’s to a better year with 2026.

Movie Man Dem | Best Movie of the Year? (One Battle After Another)




There are movies that come to us years too late, and their message feels outdated and stale. There are movies that come to us far too early, with something to say that’s ahead of its time. Then there are movies that feel perfectly aligned with the current moment. One Battle After Another is one such film and to break it down we’ve assembled a crack team ready to tackle what’s being called the best film of 2025

Movie Man Dem | Wicked Gyals: Glinda and Elphaba (Wicked)




Y’all wanna hear the story about how Glinda and that Wicked Witch fell out? It’s long but full of suspense. So suspenseful that they made a whole broadway show about it, and 2 whole movies twenty years later. Is it worth the hype? Tune in to hear us get Wicked. 

Movie Man Dem | The Best Jamaican Movie You’ve Never Seen




Collectively, Damian and Bam have seen every movie ever made, but somehow, a 1980s wacky comedy starring Robin Williams and Jimmy Cliff filmed in their own backyard didn’t make it to their individual spaces. Thankfully, movie gyal Lexy is around to help us fill our gaps, and shows us an aboslute hidden gem of a movie.

Movie Man Dem | 35 Years of Goodfellas




The ultimate wiseguy movie turns 35! We’ve consulted a resident goodfellas Lopo on what’s heralded as the greatest gangster movie of all time. On the opposite end is Lexy who at one point called it overrated. Has she changed her mind? Find out on this week’s episode as we celebrate over 3 decades of Goodfellas.

Movie Man Dem | Philosophy in Black Leather (The Matrix)




The Matrix. Released in 1999 and still influencing cinema to this day. One of the most important movies to ever exist. A revolutionary in cgi effects, an intimate trans allegory, and a techno music lover’s fantasy. It’s a perfect movie, so naturally we’re covering it for Bam’s Birthday.

Movie Man Dem | 50 Years: The Double-Edged Legacy of Jaws




Jaws is 50 years old this year. We’ve seen it so many times and it still holds up to this day. It invented the blockbuster and as a result is the cause of everything wrong with the industry today. It’s a great movie, but was it all worth it? We dive into its legacy, the films its influenced, and how this monster of a monster movie got made.

Movie Man Dem | He's Not A Clanker, He's My Friend (Wall-E)




If you look ahead, things don’t look great for the human race. Things get more and more dire with each passing day, and no one knows that better than Pixar. In their depiction of a desolate earth 700 years in the future, one rusted robot emerges as a glimmer of hope, teaching us all the importance of love in the face of the apocalypse. Ladies and Gentlemen, we present Pixar’s finest hour, Wall-E

Movie Man Dem | Investigative Hilarity (The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad)

Yes it does. We talk all the things we loved back then and some new stuff we appreciate more as we’re older.

Movie Man Dem | The Modern Miracle of Speed Racer




Come one come all to the race of a lifetime. It’s an anime adaptation that some call brilliant, others misguided. A failure at the box office and a critical nightmare, Speed Racer has found new life in the internet age. We take a look and see if this movie is a cult classic, or a car crash.

Movie Man Dem | From Animation to Action: How To Train Your Dragon




There were dragons once, and for the most part people hated them and killed them on sight. Except for the young Hiccup, who was terrible at hunting, but turned out to be a natural at training. It’s a story so nice, they made it twice. We’re focusing on the animated version, but Damian saw the live action and has thoughts.
