- 2 hours 24 minutesThe Rock (1996) | Ep. 137
The Rock is on the rock! John, Westy, and Matt break down Michael Bay's 1996 action classic — Connery's swagger, Cage's chemistry quirks, Ed Harris's tortured general, and how a script nobody could crack became one of the 90s' loudest, glossiest, most quotable blockbusters. Big opinions, big laughs, and a lot of green smoke.

26 June 2026, 6:41 am - 2 hours 27 minutesAlmost Famous (2000) | Ep. 136
It's all happening. Luke, Matt and Westy hit the road with Stillwater to tell the story behind Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, his 1973-set love letter to rock and roll and arguably the greatest movie soundtrack ever made. We get into the decade-long script, the Brad Pitt casting saga, how Led Zeppelin cleared their music, and being a golden God. Big opinions and bigger laughs as we board the bus for one of the most beloved films of the 21st century.

Mother's not quite herself today… but we are. John, Matt, and Westy check into the Bates Motel to tell the story of Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece — the film that reinvented horror, traumatised a generation of shower-takers, and proved you really can kill your leading lady 47 minutes in. Expect chocolate syrup, screeching violins, and a Master of Suspense mortgaging his house to make it happen. Big opinions, big laughs, and one very unfortunate private investigator.

Luke, Westy and Matt give their creation life as we tell the story behind Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's parody of the Universal monster movies, making one of the funniest films ever made in the process.
We get into why playing it dead straight is the secret, how Gene Hackman begged to play the blind hermit for free, John Morris's heart-breaking score, and the moving hump nobody saw coming. What hump? Big laughs and big opinions throughout on one of the great Hollywood production stories.

15 May 2026, 12:00 am - 2 hours 25 minutesBack to the Future Part II (1989) | Ep. 133
The future is now — and John, Westy, and Matt are here to tell you exactly how Robert Zemeckis built it. We go deep on the production of one of the most ambitious sequels Hollywood attempted: hoverboards, self-lacing Nikes, and a plot that required filming the past, present, and future simultaneously. (Doc would be proud.)
From the decision to make Parts II and III back-to-back, to the technical wizardry behind Hill Valley 2015, to the extraordinary challenge of recasting a central role mid-franchise — this is the full behind-the-scenes story, with analysis and huge opinions as we go.

24 April 2026, 12:00 am - 2 hours 27 minutesThe Towering Inferno (1974) | Ep. 132
Two studios. Two directors. Two DPs. Four camera crews. And two movie stars who counted each other's lines. Luke, Westy and Matt tell the behind-the-scenes story of Irwin Allen's all-time disaster epic. The McQueen vs Newman billing war fought to the millimetre, William Holden outshining everyone in a burgundy dinner jacket, a John Williams score from just before he became a legend, and the dream that accidentally invented Die Hard.
A landmark film and one hell of a story. Hope the wiring's up to code.

We're back at the editing desk - this time raiding the ATRM Classic archives from June to November 2025 for the moments worth keeping. This highlights compilation serves up the sharpest takes, the most chaotic tangents, and the conversations that somehow held together despite all evidence to the contrary. From summer blockbusters to autumn classics, we've done the sifting so you can skip straight to the good stuff (and a few glorious misfires we couldn't bring ourselves to cut). Whether you're a first-time listener wondering what you've stumbled into, or a seasoned ATRM veteran looking to relive the highlights - this one's for you.

27 March 2026, 2:00 am - 2 hours 31 minutesChildren of Men (2006) | Ep. 131
We're in 2027 with Alfonso Cuarón to talk a dystopian classic. John, Westy, and Matt dive into the story of how Cuarón created one of cinema's most visually stunning achievements - a film that turned a difficult-to-adapt novel into a breathtaking technical marvel. From those legendary long takes (yes, including that car scene) to Clive Owen's career-best performance (YMMV), we explore how Cuarón and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki revolutionised action filmmaking. How did they pull off shots that shouldn't be possible? Why does the world-building feel so unnervingly real? And can humanity ever truly find hope in hopelessness?

Luke, Matt, and Westy gather round the Thrombey estate to investigate Rian Johnson's modern whodunit masterpiece. We tell the story of how Johnson wrote the script on spec, assembled a murderers' row of A-listers, and turned every detective movie convention inside out, all while giving Daniel Craig the most gloriously absurd accent of his career. From the casting battles to the donut hole speech, we dig into the craft, the chaos, and why this film made studios remember that original screenplays still pack houses.

27 February 2026, 2:00 am - 2 hours 29 minutesDr. Strangelove (1964) | Ep. 129
How did Stanley Kubrick turn nuclear annihilation into a comedy? John, Matt, and Westy get into the Cold War satire that somehow made mutually assured destruction hilarious. We're talking Peter Sellers playing three roles (he was meant to do four, but pulled a sickie), George C. Scott being tricked into giving maybe the performance of his career, and a pie fight ending that never was. Plus, the realistic events that were so absurd Kubrick figured he might as well lean into the lunacy. One of cinema's greatest pivots from drama to dark comedy - we tell you how it happened.

13 February 2026, 1:00 am - 1 hour 31 minutesA Life In Movies: James Woods
On the latest episode of A Life In Movies, the movie interview podcast by All The Right Movies, we're talking to legendary actor James Woods.
With a career spanning five decades, James has built a reputation as one of cinema's most compelling performers. An actor drawn to morally complex characters and unafraid to inhabit the darkest corners of human nature. A two-time Academy Award nominee with multiple Emmy wins to his name, his filmography reads like a masterclass in intensity.
Speaking to us from Los Angeles, James takes us through the key moments that shaped his remarkable career. From his early days studying Political Science at MIT before the pull of acting proved too strong, to his film debut working with the legendary Elia Kazan. We dive deep into five landmark films: David Cronenberg's prophetic body-horror Videodrome, Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in America opposite Robert De Niro, Oliver Stone's raw and urgent Salvador (which earned him his first Oscar nomination), the action-comedy The Hard Way with Michael J. Fox, and Martin Scorsese's Casino where he brought the slippery Lester Diamond to unforgettable life.
James also shares insights into his approach to those morally ambiguous characters that have become his trademark, his acclaimed television work, the compelling story behind his Executive Producer credit on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and his most recent artistic endeavour in music. A fascinating conversation with one of American cinema's most distinctive talents.
