FOUR BROTHERS

Author: Dan Benamor August 14, 2020 Duration: 38:39
Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin, Garrett Hedlund, and Chiwetel Ejiofor anchor this deeply satisfying John Singleton crime thriller. Comedian and screenwriter Atif Myers joins me to argue that it’s one of Wahlberg’s best and most underrated movies.

There's a particular kind of movie magic that happens not in the multiplex blockbusters, but in the quiet corners of cinema history. Movies I Love That No One Talks About is a podcast dedicated entirely to those forgotten, overlooked, and under-appreciated films that deserve a second look. Each week, host Dan Benamor sits down for a conversation that feels like digging through a hidden treasure chest. His guests are often the very people who brought these hidden gems to life-writers, directors, actors, cinematographers-who share the intimate, behind-the-scenes stories you won't find anywhere else. Other times, he connects with critics, scholars, or fellow superfans who share this specific passion for cinema's unsung heroes. The discussions go far beyond simple plot summary; they delve into why these films resonate on a personal level, the unique creative choices that define them, and the cultural moments they quietly captured. Listening to this podcast is like having a film-obsessed friend point you toward a masterpiece you've somehow missed your entire life. It’s a celebration of discovery, a rejection of the mainstream canon, and a deeply personal exploration of why we love the stories we love. You’ll come away with a watchlist full of fascinating titles and a renewed appreciation for the sheer volume of incredible art that exists just beneath the surface of popular conversation. Dan’s genuine enthusiasm is infectious, making each episode a compelling case for giving these unheralded movies the attention they’ve always deserved.
