Mazan Movie Club

Let's be honest... a Movie Club is way more fun than a book club (except for credits & subtitles NO READING!). Join in as we discuss, dissect & debate the IMDB Top Rated movies. AFI's top movies and those films generally regarded as the best ever. Check out and chime in on social media--we will include your critique or comments in the show. It's a club! For cinephiles and regular movie lovers alike. We want your opinions on the movies and their place on the IMDB list. Hosted by Emmy-Winning Writer & Comedian Steve Mazan

On to the AFI list! This week we twist again like we did last summer (when we did Psycho)...this time it's M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" from 1999. When M. was killing it and Bruce still had some hair.

Is this the greatest twist in film history?

Is Donnie Wahlberg's acting the bigger twist?

What is ASMR and was Osment a pioneer?

Do we deserve a "Seventh Sense" sequel?

How angry is that prospective boyfriend?

All these questions and more get answered on this week's episode.

We made it to the top. And there was "The Shawshank Redemption" from 1994. Steve talks to Michael Greenwood who was part of making the film. Plus comedian Paul Moomjean tells us why this IS the best movie ever made. The Irish Critic & Denise Mazan chime in too.

Is this the best film ever?

Has Morgan Freeman (or anyone) ever been better?

Was Andy on the spectrum?

Would Tom Cruise have screwed this up?

How DID Andy get the poster back into place?

Is use of the word Obtuse suspect?

This is what Coppola did when they made him a financial offer he couldn't refuse. 1974's "The Godfather Part 2" which would go on to win a slew of Oscars including Best Picture. A first for a sequel. Cinephile and comedian Rick Ramos joins Steve to discuss it all.

Is this better than the original?

Who is better...Deniro, Pacino OR Bruno Kirby?

What do Hannibal Lecter and Tom Hagen have in common?

Did it's success and raves doom us with sequels for everything?

Was Michael always kind of a jerk?

How well can Diane Keaton take a punch? 

All these questions and more get answered on this week's Mazan Movie Club.
