Shahbaz • The Movie Podcast

Spent the day at the Rivoli 👀

#TheFantasticFour : First Steps is EXTRAORDINARY! The score is pure magic, the visuals are next-level, and the cast chemistry is electric. It’s bold, fresh, and unlike anything Marvel’s done before. This is their next MASTERPIECE!

These Toronto friends had a group chat all about film, and it’s turned into a top podcast The Movie Podcast started in 2019 and has gone on to release 877 episodes.

Absolutely love this @themoviepodcast.bsky.social profile on Toronto.com. 🇨🇦 🎥
It's been truly inspiring seeing everything @dbapz.bsky.social, @shayhbaz.bsky.social and Anthony have accomplished as they've grown the show over these years.
So deserved! 👏

Got to live a dream⭐️. Can’t believe @themoviepodcast.bsky.social was on the red carpet for #TheStudio at @academymuseum.bsky.social Here’s just some of the amazing people I had the chance to speak with.

Thank you again Apple TV+

Review: BlackBerry follow-up Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie will make you laugh till it hurts A lovingly crafted ode to Canadian culture filtered through the vision of Robert Zemeckis acolytes, it is difficult to imagine a better, sharper comedy coming along this year. Or the next

Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol’s ingenious NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE is a relentlessly funny time-travel epic that just about killed me. #SXSW

Some pretty awesome hosts at our #Novocaine screening, too!
@themoviepodcast.bsky.social

I hear @shayhbaz.bsky.social
is besties with @JackQuaid92 now and has a cool interview coming up soon. 👀

#Novocaine is ELECTRIFYING! A heart-racing, pulse-pounding adrenaline rush that never lets up! Jack Quaid is effortlessly charming, Amber Midthunder steals every scene & your heart. Violent and incredibly funny, it’s the PERFECT date night movie! @paramountpictures.bsky.social

The first 2 episodes of #DaredevilBornAgain kick off with a shocking event, setting the stage for an electrifying clash between Matt Murdock & Wilson Fisk. GRITTY, BRUTAL & CINEMATIC, it starts strong but struggles with pacing. Still, there’s potential for a real knockout.

#CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld is messy, with weak writing, clunky dialogue, & directionless storytelling. It’s confusing, visually unappealing, & does nothing to push the MCU forward. Anthony Mackie shines as Cap, but the reshoots are glaring. Liv Tyler is wasted.

And some MILD language like “ass”

I wouldn’t say so, it definitely has more violence than I was expecting (blood for example) but nothing too frightening

#HeartEyes is a BLOOD SOAKED campy nightmare that has some of the funniest moments of the year! Mason Gooding & Olivia Holt have effortless chemistry while Gigi Zumbado brings such chaotic energy to the group! Some great moments that a sequel can refine & build on!

#YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan is SPECTACULAR! All 10 episodes deliver an electrifying, web-slinging adventure. With a fresh art style and AMAZING voice acting, it brings some of the BEST Spider-Man stories to life! Every episode packs enough surprises to keep you hooked!

Our final interview was with Aaron Pierre & Kelvin Harrison Jr from Mufasa.

What an incredible year 2024 was and I didn’t even cover it all. 2025 is poised to be another major year and I can’t wait to see what’s coming our way!

Ended the year with another CCXP but this time in Brazil! Our first time there and I don’t think our last. (There’s more pics but currently can’t share them yet 🤫)

Just look at these smiles!

Smile 2 is one of my favourite movies this year and along with our quote being in most of the marketing, I also had a chance to speak with the lovely Naomi Scott and director Parker Finn

And the interviews kept rolling!

Nicholas Alexander Chavez & Cooper Koch from the hit @netflix.com series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story joined us for an intimate discussion

The Penguin consumed us every week and we got to speak with Cristin Milioti & Rhenzy Feliz!

#TIFF24 was full of great movies, reviews and interviews.

Had a really cool opportunity thanks to our friends at @ubisoftgames.bsky.social covering #StarWarsOutlaws

It was Agatha All Along on The Movie Podcast!

While I was busy honeymooning @dbapz.bsky.social & Anthony hit up #D23 and covered some really COOL announcements!

I got married! This was probably the biggest thing to happen to me. I got to marry my best friend and every day since then has only gotten better❤️
