Watch This Weeks Movie Along With Us: Bronson (2009) https://amzn.to/4awovji Check Our Next Week's Movie: The Big Lebowski (1998) https://amzn.to/4q3tdtz (Bezos tosses us some lunch money if you buy/rent through these links.) ⸻ Bronson is one of the weirdest “biopics” we’ve ever covered… because it’s not really trying to explain the guy — it’s just presenting him like a performance. And somehow, the best comparison we landed on was this: Bronson is Mr. Bean… but violent.In this episode of The Movie List, Jon (filmmaker) and Dr. Matt (actual doctor, yes) break down Tom Hardy’s unhinged transformation, the movie’s stage-play energy, and the constant tension that makes every scene feel like a loaded spring. We also get into the “Mom Meter” rating (you’ve been warned), plus the medical reality of sedatives used to calm down an agitated patient.New here? The premise is simple: Jon made a list of 100 movies Matt somehow never saw. We’re fixing that—one movie at a time. ⸻ The Official Movie ListFollow the full list of every movie in order:IMDb List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls415664898...Letterboxd List: https://boxd.it/QnbYc____#MoviePodcast #Bronson #TomHardy #venom #bane #mobland #legend #peakyblinders #MovieReview #FilmPodcast #MovieList #FilmAnalysis #NicholasWindingRefn #CrimeMovies #IndieFilm #CharacterStudy #MovieDiscussion #Cinephile #FilmTalk #MovieRecap #FilmBreakdown #TrueStoryMovies #PodcastClips #YouTubePodcast #MovieRecommendations #UKMovies #CultFilms #Cinema00:00 Cold open – “Mr. Bean… but violent”00:43 Intro + Mom Meter06:05 Synopsis07:50 First watch notes15:10 Filmmaking breakdown (budget + style)23:27 Medical Minute (sedation / agitation)27:13 Favorite scenes + trivia43:53 Interesting Facts about Charles Bronson46:51 Oh Yeah Right51:57 Ratings57:08 Next week’s movie
