Movie Chumps

Luke Mayo

Luke Mayo, Corrye Cooke and their locker room of oddball buddies over-analyze a wild mix of films. What's profound? What's ridiculous? We like to think of ourselves as the Beyonce of movie podcasts (whatever the heck THAT means).

Episode 222: Kingdom of Heaven (Director's cut)
The theatrical version was a disaster. Critics weren't a fan, and neither were theater-goers. Then Ridley Scott said hold my beer - and released this puppy months later. The 3-hour director's cut is filled to the brim with visual spectacle but it's...

Episode 221: The Running Man (both versions)
Two completely different films. So much so that it feels wrong calling 2025's The Running Man a remake. Luke & Corrye find a ton of ridiculousness in Arnold Schwarzenegger's version, and timely commentary and nods to modern times in Glenn...

Episode 217: Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
A hat trick for Rian Johnson! The director feeds us the third Benoit Blanc film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, and once again, gets us exercising our brains and funny bone. Luke hated the cast chemistry but enjoyed everything else especially...

Episode 215: Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere
This biopic gets a metric ton correct: the facts, the casting, the early 80s atmosphere, the motivations behind the Nebraska album. But Luke & Corrye believe Scott Cooper misses with trying to stick the landing. The Chumps adore Jeremy Allen White...
