Off The Shelf with Phil and Dave Podcast artwork

Each week Phil or Dave grab a movie off of their shelves and revisit it. They decide if it stays on the shelf and if not, why?? Did the movie not age well? Has our taste changed over the years? Or do we like it even more than before!? Phil and Dave's tastes are significantly different so it's interesting to see the different views. Share your views with us!

Nov 16 2024 68 mins  
"You know what I used to do at breakfast? Podcast. Know what I used to at lunch? Podcast. - Dave takes 2008's Role Models off the shelf. He feels the movie's sense of humour aligns with his and found himself yearning to join LAIRE. Phil found himself strangely moved by all the relationships in the movie. Finally enjoys a performance of Sean William Scott and completely bought in to

2017's Dunkirk

Nov 08 2024 78 mins  
"I can almost see it from here...podcast" - Dave takes 2017's Dunkirk off the shelf this week and finally reveals what we already knew; he's a Nolan guy. The manner in which this film is told is unique to Nolan and his skill. Piecing together the timelines makes the second and third watches enjoyable but it's the visceral experience of that first watch that is magic. Phil finds the

1957's A Face in the Crowd

Oct 31 2024 77 mins  
"Lonesome Rhoads is the podcast. The Podcast is Lonesome Rhoads" - Phil takes 1957's A Face in the Crowd off the shelf this week and wonders why, in this political climate, it is not talked about more. A movie that despite it being made almost 70 years ago still bites as hard as it did then. A brilliant movie about the influence of the media and the disdain some of the people in po

Halloween- The Return to 1978

Oct 30 2024 52 mins  
The Halloween series was more of a trick than a treat for Dave but as all the original films were taken off the shelf, Phil and Dave casually revisit the original and those that followed in the context of the series. Join us as we go back to Haddonfield.

2002's Halloween Resurrection

Oct 25 2024 72 mins  
"Michael Myers is not a podcast. He's a killer shark" - Phil takes 2002's Halloween Resurrection off the shelf and fondly remembers working at the video store when this was shot and shares some stories of hanging out with the actor who plays Michael. The fond memories end there as Dave discovers that whatever good will may have been earned last time is sorely wasted in the first 15

1998's Halloween H20

Oct 18 2024 77 mins  
"Has anyone ever told you that second hand podcasts kill?" - Phil takes 1998's Halloween H20 off the shelf. Dave wonders why this movie doesn't have a water theme and continues to wonder what is happening in this franchise. Phil explains that 6 was a mess and this is an attempt to clean it up by turning to the Scream model. Phil still finds this movie lacking but with some really g

1995's Halloween 6

Oct 11 2024 83 mins  
"It's his podcast now, and I know where he wants to play it" - Phil takes 1995's Halloween 6 off the shelf. Dave wonders if the curse of Michael Myers is that he has to watch this nearly incoherent sequel. Phil remembers really enjoying this entry upon it's release but time has not been kind. There is a deal made to revisit the movie with the producer's cut with pizza to make more

1994's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

Oct 05 2024 78 mins  
Dave tries to stay out of Phil's personal affairs as he brings 1994's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective off the shelf. Phil didn't find the over the top antics of Jim Carrey appealing as he once did unless it got cold enough. Dave shares memories of high school in 1994 and the impact the movie had on him.

1997's Contact

Sep 28 2024 100 mins  
"Dad, do you think there are podcasts on other planets?" - Dave takes 1997's Contact Off the Shelf this week. Phil thinks Matthew McConaughey is terribly miscast and the movie suffers as a result. Dave doesn't have as many problems with it but makes it harder to get into. The movie asks questions but doesn't have the strength to answer them.

1998's Fallen

Sep 20 2024 79 mins  
"I'm going to tell you about a time I almost podcasted" - Phil takes 1998's Fallen Off the Shelf and remembers seeing it in theatres, in Winnipeg! He loved it then, loves it now. Dave had never seen it before and was impressed by performances and the twists along the way. A few scenes so good, Phil can't pick just one.
