The Banderas Version of Jack Ryan: Clear and Present Danger (1994)
Reel to Meal: A Foodie Action Movie Pod
Two self proclaimed funny guys (See Genre: Comedy) summarize nostalgic action movies before dishing about their successes and failures, all while peppering in fun facts about their creation. After the review, Zach and Mitch liken the films to culinary dishes - how consuming the movie makes them feel as compared to a plate of food. Like your mom’s spaghetti- movies can make you feel nostalgia, and warm and fuzzy inside, or quite the opposite.

A Different Idea
Zach and Mitch are two friends who don't know very much about movies or or cuisine. They do however enjoy "dishing" about some great, and terrible movies together. Being big fans of podcasts, they got the idea to compare movies to food as the foundation of a podcast.
In the same way eating specific foods invokes emotion in the one consuming them, so too does the action of watching a movie. Instead of reviewing the latest flicks, Zach and Mitch opted to examine movies that provoke nostalgia in many.
