Nick Nunziata and Justin Waddell have been podcasting about movies since 2005 on CHUD.com and now in this weekly show discuss the little moments that make or break in the movies we all love and hate. Don’t be expecting cutting edge film criticism, just a whole lot of zooms as well as the various businesses, sequels, tattoos, and other assorted minutiae the boys would like to create for each film. Each episode ends with a different track from one of Nick's many bands. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moviemicroscope/support

Customer Reviews
Best Evil Dead: Rise review
You guys crushed this review. I’ll be waiting for more. Thank you.
Came for Underwater, stayed for the rest!
This is by far my favorite podcast about films and basically it could be about anything. From Nick making Justin laugh like a giddy schoolgirl to the always looming Brownwall and adorable OZ the cat appearance’s, I Always look forward to the new weekly microscope. Keep doing exactly what you are doing guys, I love it! There has been only sparing mention of David Lynch on here and would love to hear a Lynch month sometime.
A goddam staple
Zoom in (!!!) on your new best friends. Nick and Justin are the best film commentators you’ve never heard of (unless you remember when CHUD existed).
This movie podcast exists beyond the crude framework of designating films as “good” or “bad.” They don’t rehash well-known scenes. Instead, they find the moments that make or break.
For instance, when discussing Manhunter, they don’t discuss the scene where the legendary William L. Petersen shrugs through a glass patio door.
Instead, they talk about how the white tiger must have felt about Joan Allen touching Tom Noonan’s face. And maybe something about Tom Noonan touching Dennis Farina’s face, which Joan Allen’s blind character probably wouldn’t mind.
They talk about the little moments. And films have been found to be made entirely of moments. Many are rife for extended imaginative riffing. They contemplate the credulity of those moments in the film’s reality, in our own reality, and perhaps in the reality where Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon are still behaving on a roller coaster.
The setlist is varied and impeccable. Gems like “Life” and ’88 “Blob” get their due. “Tales from the Darkside,” “Jaws: The Revenge” “Wild Things,” and “Rush” are “Bad Girls” are all parsed in celebration, or at least in good faith.
Look, you need to listen to Ben Greenfield, Rich Roll, TED Radio, and Freakonomics to further understand the steps you aren’t taking to make life work out.
But once a week, it’s time to give up on all that and just hear what Nick and Justin are up to, what they saw, and what they’ll say.
These guys stand apart and share for a lucky few. Be one!
