Blind Spots & Second Thoughts

We're Dan & Heather, a couple of movie lovers (and a couple, too). But strangely, there isn’t a lot of overlap in what each of us has seen. Heather is crazy for musicals and horror; Dan loves sci-fi and action. Between the two of us, there’s a surprising amount of blind spots . In this podcast, we pick a movie one of us hasn’t ever seen before. We talk about what we know – or what we think we know – about the movie. Then after watching it, we do a deep dive into the film, discussing what makes the movie work (or not), how the movie has aged since it came out, and also get into the behind-the-scenes of the movie’s production. One part comedy podcast, one part in-depth movie review, we tackle enormous hits you won’t believe one of us hasn’t seen and obscure favorites just out of the mainstream. If you’re ready for a distinctly unique perspective on movies you love, movies you hate, and movies you’ve always been curious about, give us a listen! https://blindspotsandsecondthoughts.com

  Heather hasn’t seen The Avengers No, you’re not reading that wrong.

Heather hasn’t seen it. How does the 2012 movie written and directed by Joss Whedon hold up? Is it still fun? Is it the beginning of the end for the Marvel Cinematic Universe? How does the movie fare nearly 15 years later? Find out in this supersized superhero podcast episode!

  Firefly (Part One)

  Jul 15, 20261h 35m

  Heather hasn’t seen Firefly YOU CAN’T TAKE THE SKY FROM ME! In the first part of our two-part episode, we go deep into the cult favorite sci-fi western TV series Firefly, starring Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, and created by Joss Whedon. We talk about the history of the show, lots of behind-the-scenes and production stories, and how watching the show in 2026 for the first time reflects on when the show was made and how the show has aged. We really get in the weeds about Joss Whedon and talk about his background and his current self-inflicted troubles in Hollywood, and we do an episode-by-episode recap. So listen to the full episode now, or I swear on my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.

  Heather hasn’t seen Dr. Strangelove …or: How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb. That’s right, we sit down to watch the 1964 black and white dark comedy about the cold war and mutually assured destruction from Stanley Kubrick starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott. Is the movie relevant today? Is it actually funny? What’s with all the silly names like General Turgidson and Slim Pickens?
