Episode 182: Oppenheimer

3/18/2024
As we close up shop on Season 7, we could not leave without talking about arguably the biggest movie of 2023. With 7 Oscars and an unfathomable amount of other prestigious awards, Oppenheimer is a once in a lifetime opportunity (or Oppentunity, if you will.) Christopher Nolan has finally unleashed Cillian Murphy to his fullest potentials, and Nolan's directing capabilities and Murphy's acting powers are both truly staggering. While 2023 was an amazing year for films, there was none better than this cautionary tale about the horrors we face and the guilt we carry regarding nuclear war. So put on your wide brimmed hat and light up that cigarette as we discuss this absolute masterpiece. We'll also reminisce over Barbenheimer, deliberate on virtual international disarmament in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, break down the ad sponsored collapsible room for American schools, and a ton (20,000 tons, to be precise) more. And we'll give you the rundown on upcoming bonus episodes in our off season, our thoughts on the 2024 Oscars, and a note about when to look for Season 8. Thank you so, so much for making this season a truly fantastic one! Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, Dane DeHaan, Dylan Arnold, David Krumholtz, Alden Ehrenreich, Matthew Modine, Gary Oldman, Alex Wolff, Casey Affleck, Jack Quaid, Emma Dumont, Matthias Schweighöfer, David Dastmalchian, Christopher Denham, Josh Peck, Tony Goldwyn, Olivia Thirlby, and James Remar.

Episode 181: Shin Godzilla

3/11/2024
Before Minus One got all the love and admiration it so rightfully deserved, there was another Godzilla movie not so long ago that really stomped its way into the hearts of millions. So after 180 episodes of the show, we're finally discussing the one, the only, the King of the Monsters (but not that movie.) We're of course talking about Godzilla, but not just any Godzilla movie; it's the 2016 masterclass in satire that is Shin Godzilla. What would it look like from a bureaucratic standpoint to actually try and stop a kaiju attack? This film shows exactly how it would (probably) go down. But that's not to say it doesn't have some incredibly shocking and horrific imagery that any kaiju lover would be sure to appreciate. So prepare your uniform and make sure your ramen doesn't get soggy as we talk about that truly wild face reveal of Gojira, plus the sensual world of commemorative popcorn buckets, the United States edging with its nuclear weapons, and creating a kaiju just for America. All of that and more with returning guests Michael Moss and JT Kelly, plus we'll spin the wheel to decide which film will have the honor of being our Season 7 finale episode next week. Shin Godzilla stars Hiroki Hasegawa, Mikako Ichikawa, Satomi Ishihara, Yutaka Takenouchi, Kengo Kora, Matsuo Satoru, Kazuo Takahashi, and Kanji Tsuda. Directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi.

Episode 180: Totally Killer

3/4/2024
Like, we're totally diving into the radical '80s this week as we're talking all about the dark comedy slasher Totally Killer from last year. This one's, like, totally got it all: tubular time travel, snappy dialogue, and a rockin' soundtrack. So grab your Aqua Net and some bottom shelf booze as we kick off Women's History Month talking about how these women kick ass. Plus, Roger Ebert giving his ratings from the afterlife, the duality of short shorts and Saving Private Ryan, slander against Smarties, and hell of a lot more await you in the killer episode. God, the '80s were wild. Totally Killer stars Kiernan Shipka, Olivia Holt, and Julie Bowen. Directed by Nahnatchka Khan.

Episode 179: Judas and the Black Messiah

2/26/2024
We couldn't let Black History Month end without discussing not only one of the best movies about Black history, but one of the best movies of the decade. While 2021's Judas and the Black Messiah indeed got the praise it was due at the Academy Awards, we still feel as if it hasn't gotten the admiration it deserves. So put on your shades and adjust that beret as we talk about the incredible performances from absolutely everyone in this movie, plus Florida schools banning the dictionary (yes, seriously), AI Nancy Pelosi, burying our dreams of ever receiving X-Men powers, and much, much more with returning guests Brandi Dewberry and Jenn Paulemon! And remember: anywhere there is people, there is power. Judas and the Black Messiah stars Daniel Kaluuya, LaKeith Stanfield, Jesse Plemons, Dominique Fishback, Ashton Sanders, Algee Smith, Graham Lutes, Martin Sheen, and Lil Rel Howery.

Episode 178: Stay Alive

2/19/2024
Well, it's been two weeks since we've discussed a video game movie, so time to do another one. But this time, there's a twist: if you die in the game, you die for real! That's right, of course we're talking about none other than 2006's Stay Alive, and boy, would we like to find whoever made it and hurt them (not really – that’s just a quote from the movie.) Technically Disney's only slasher, this movie is capital B Bonkers. Insane plot contrivances, absurd character motivations, bizarre fashion choices, and god awful visual effects are enough to put this one up there with some of the worst films we've ever covered. So strap on your arm brace and turn that visor upside down as we discuss the film as well as check in on CanYouStayAlive.com, discovering some incredible fanfiction for the movie, and of course, deducing who the real villain was all along (cough Abigail cough). All of that and a hell of a lot more with special guest Brian Cottington of The Cinema Psychos Show. Let's butter this muffin! You can check out The Cinema Psychos Show on Apple Podcasts or wherever get your podcasts. Stay Alive stars Jon Foster, Samaire Armstrong, Frankie Muniz, Jimmi Simpson, Milo Ventimiglia, Sophia Bush, and Adam Goldberg. Directed by William Brent Bell.

Episode 177: In the Mouth of Madness

2/12/2024
This episode is going to drive people absolutely mad! It's the week of Valentine's Day, and you know what that means: it's time to celebrate John Carpenter's utterly bleak view of the world. Or at least that's how we celebrate it around here. We're talking 1994's In the Mouth of Madness this week, and prepare yourself now because this one gets dark. Can we find a silver lining at the end of the world? We'll do our best. So handcuff your naked husband to your foot and light one up as we talk about everything from the K-Mart version of Metallica's Enter Sandman to soft corn porn (you read that right) and everything in between. God's not supposed to be a hack podcaster, but we are. In the Mouth of Madness stars Jurgen Prochnow, Sam Neill, Julie Carmen, and Charlton Heston. Directed by John Carpenter.

Episode 176: Mortal Kombat (1995)

2/5/2024
We're testing your might and maybe even your patience this week as we're back discussing video game adaptations (and yet another one from Paul W. S. Anderson) with the original Mortal Kombat from 1995. A film with some pretty great locations, art direction, and set dressing, which is honestly amazing considering all the scenery chewing going on in this movie. But a myriad of strange decisions like brainwashing the two best characters of the franchise into mindless zombies, casting a white dude to portray the Japanese God of Thunder, and tossing out "flawless victory’s” with total abandon make this a very sloppy movie at best and an absolute disaster at worst. So with that said, pack your bags, put on your $500 sunglasses (asshole), and board the dragon boat as we head to Outworld and discuss a whole plethora of topics like Western Union's outrageous telegram rates, Nathan's old band opening for Adema, Mortal Kombat being a thickly veiled metaphor for Scientology, and a hell of a lot more with returning guest JT Kelly. This is where you download our episode. Mortal Kombat (1995) stars Linden Ashby, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Robin Shou, Bridgette Wilson, Talisa Soto, and Christopher Lambert. Directed by Paul W. S.

Episode 175: Don't Worry Darling

1/29/2024
2022 was a rough year in the entertainment industry. First there was The Slap, and then there was The Spit – or the alleged spit, we should say. Has there been a wilder ride (one could even say an Olivia Wilde-r ride) than the production and press tour for Don't Worry Darling? A very messy release for a very messy movie. But is it as bad as everyone made it out to be? Straighten up that bow tie and pour yourself a cocktail so we can let you know. Plus, we'll discuss what all the symbolism means (or try to), Barbie's "feminism 101" backlash, Dustin misremembering Scrubs, and, of course, the spit heard 'round the world. All of that and more awaits you with returning guest Jennie Lee. Don't Worry Darling stars Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Olivia Wilde, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Kate Berlant, Douglas Smith, and Asif Ali. Directed by Olivia Wilde.

Episode 174: From Hell

1/22/2024
Now that we've grieved the Fireflies last week, let's get back to having fun on the show. This time we're using 2001's From Hell as a jumping off point to talk about a lot of things: Johnny Depp sleepwalking through this film, Robbie Coltrane giving a Shakespearian performance in a completely different movie, and so, so much more. This one's yet another adaptation of Alan Moore's work that rightfully made him want to bury his head in the sand, and we'll talk about it all. So grab some grapes and pour yourself some Absinthe as we dissect this film. Plus, we'll talk about the worst time to be alive, Roger Ebert's wild movie reviews, Dustin's inability to pull off a convincing British accent, and plenty more. From Hell stars Ian Holm, Katrin Cartlidge, Heather Graham, Robbie Coltrane, and Johnny Depp. Directed by Albert and Allen Hughes.

Episode 173: Grave of the Fireflies

1/15/2024
Oh yeah, we're doing it. And honestly, it took way too long for us to finally discuss this one, let alone anime in general. Grave of the Fireflies was only the third Studio Ghibli movie when it debuted in 1988, but it was just as powerful and evocative then as it still is today. So much so that a lot of people can only bring themselves to watch it once - but not us. A beautiful tragedy enveloped by incredible imagery, fantastic performances, and a deft hand in direction, Fireflies is well deserving of its perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. So grab your pickled plums and relax as we cover every second of this great film, plus dine-and-dashing, how Gen Z and Alpha feel about 9/11, what bugs smell like, and a lot more with returning guest Priscilla Hendry. Also, don't worry: we promise this episode isn't a bummer. Grave of the Fireflies stars Tsutomu Tatsumi, Ayano Shiraishi, Yoshiko Shinohara, and Akemi Yamaguchi. Directed by Isao Takahata.

Episode 172: The Night Comes for Us

1/8/2024
Like many others, Gareth Evans's The Raid was a gateway for us into the incredible world of Indonesian action films. For what used to feel like a bygone era, these movies simultaneously conjure up nostalgia for '70s and '80s kung fu films while also transcending the genre entirely, and Timo Tjahjanto's The Night Comes for Us pushes what we thought those movies could be to the absolute extreme. Body horror by way of punches and stabbings, this film is relentless. We'll cover it all in this episode, so straighten up your tie and grab the nearest "wet floor" sign as we discuss the dumb logic of Escape from Tarkov, Jakarta's seemingly indestructible infrastructure, Grok going woke ("unfortunately"), and of course, that slutty little cow. You know, this episode sounds like a fucking gangster movie. Don't you think so? The Night Comes for Us stars Joe Taslim, Iko Uwais, Julie Estelle, Sunny Pang, and Zack Lee.

Episode 171: Triangle of Sadness

1/1/2024
We decided we needed to kick off 2024 with a bit of sadness. That's right, this New Year's Day we're talking about the absolutely stellar Triangle of Sadness from 2022. Incredible performances, precision editing, and top notch directing are just a few of the factors that make this scathing satire of gender roles and social classes a well deserved Palme d'Or winner. So grab your evian® Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray and a box of pretzel sticks cause we're breaking open this movie as we discuss the death of influencer culture, how to pronounce Caribbean (is it "care-uh-be-en" or "cuh-rib-be-en"?), the excessive amount of entries in the Death Race franchise, and a lot more. #friendship #everyonesequal #happylife #stopclimatechange Triangle of Sadness stars Charlbi Dean, Harris Dickinson, Woody Harrelson, Zlatko Burić, Henrik Dorsin, Iris Berben, Sunnyi Melles, Dolly de Leon, and Vicki Berlin.

That's right, it's the cult classic Deadly Games (aka Dial Code Santa Claus aka Game Over aka Hide and Freak aka 3615 code Père Noël aka Las fantasías del pequeño Rambo) from 1989 - and yes, those are all real alternate titles.

We'll let you know in this jam packed episode.

Press play on our episode and start listening. Does your girlfriend think you’re a fucking loser? Well, we can't help with that one, but if she likes the amazing The Wolf of Wall Street, we're just the place to be. It's been a decade since this 5th collaboration between Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio was released, and with the recent critical success of Killers of the Flower Moon, we thought there's no better time to revisit this movie than now. So put on your $2,000 suit and grab your fun coupons cause this week on the show, we're talking all things Wolfie, as well as that $59 million wedding you heard so much about recently, David Zaslav's ultimate plot for HBO's downfall, Bane's one weakness, and KoЯn - LOTS of KoЯn.

12/11/2023
If you thought one Ezra Miller on screen was annoying, wait until you see two of them. That's right, this week we're talking about the absolute abomination that is this year's The Flash. A fitting end to the DCEU, this movie is stunning - and not in a good way. Horrible CGI, completely dropped plot threads, and jokes that would have killed twenty years ago plague the entirety of this two and half hour train wreck. So crack open that can of "8 Hot Dogs" you've got in your fridge y tu mamá también as we speed through this episode (not really) discussing this putrid flick, including all of those terrible multiverse cameos, the worst Father's Day gift, the debate regarding the cover of The Dark Knight Returns, Spongebob's odd impact on this movie, and plenty more with returning guest Michael Moss. Rest in piss, DCEU! The Flash stars Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, Maribel Verdú, Kiersey Clemons, Antje Traue, Michael Keaton, Ian Loh, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, and Rudy Mancuso.

Episode 167: Blue Is the Warmest Colour

12/4/2023
There's never been a Palme d'Or given to not only the director but also the two leads of a film before 2013's Blue is the Warmest Colour, but there's rarely been a movie with as much power behind it like this one. Over the past decade, several articles detailing a mired production and testimonies of the troubling circumstances surrounding Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux's experiences making the movie seemed to have cast this one into a dark light, but there's so much good in this film that deserves to be celebrated - and we're here to do just that. So pour yourself an ice cold glass of strawberry milk and grab a hefty serving of spaghetti Bolognese cause we're talking everything Blue this week, as well as discussions about restaurants dropping their remixed versions of the Happy Birthday song, the subjective taste of La Croix, how much betters bars are than clubs, our Mount Rushmore of Neapolitan milk drinkers, and much, much more. And remember: love has no gender. Take whoever loves you. Blue Is the Warmest Colour stars Adèle Exarchopoulos, Léa Seydoux, Catherine Salée, Jeremie Laheurte, Aurélien Recoing, Sandor Funtek, Salim Kechiouche, and Mona Walravens.

After a (way) too long hiatus from discussing Korean cinema, we're back talking about the great Park Chan-wook and the first in the Vengeance Trilogy with 2002's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. The tonal shifts in this movie are gracefully done, the performances otherworldly, and the message troubling; all what you come to expect watching a Park film. Is there really anything positive we can gleam from this absolutely bleak film? Grab your baseball bat & 10,000,000 won and tune in to find out. We'll cover every aspect of this movie, plus Dustin's shocking revelation about his blood type, Lily Gladstone's performance in Killers of the Flower Moon, some suggestions for other great Korean and Japanese films, and of course, more Tubi talk. By the way, we heard that this happened in Australia. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance stars Song Kang-ho, Shin Ha-kyun, and Bae Doona. Directed by Park Chan-wook.

We're thinking about starting a new tradition around here for our Thanksgiving episode where each time we'll cover another Fast and Furious movie. We test this little experiment out this week by talking about this year's latest entry into this dumb-as-hell-yet-equally-entertaining franchise with Fast X. Jason Momoa seems to be the only one here that understood the assignment, and for that we salute him. This movie is somehow overstuffed and yet feels like it's continually spinning its wheels - but is it bad? We'll let you know as we discuss the film in this explosive episode, as well as topics like how much the Toretto’s neighbors must hate them, the secret about Han's dating profile, naming the most delicious pizza as seen in a movie, and much. much more.

Episode 164: Quantum of Solace

11/13/2023
It took 148 days this summer for the studios to give the WGA fair wages and protection against AI, but if you need an example of what can happen to a film during a writers' strike, look no further than 2008's Quantum of Solace. It's often cited as the most maligned James Bond film, but let us take you back for a proper revaluation as this one may be better than you remember. Great stunts, amazing visuals, and creative editing often times outweigh clunky screenwriting and odd performances in this one. We'll discuss it all, plus casting Natasha Lyonne (and maybe Natasha Leggero) as a Bond girl, Barack Obama's thoughts Mission: Impossible II, Dustin discovering with "P" in Life of P stands for, and much, much more. Quantum of Solace stars Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Judi Dench, Giancarlo Giannini, Gemma Arterton, Jeffrey Wright, and David Harbour. Directed by Marc Forster.

Episode 163: Alien³

11/6/2023
Rumor control! Here are the facts: even though Spooky Linings is officially behind us now, we couldn't let go of horror just yet. Alien³ is, unfortunately, not up to director David Fincher's standard, but we think there's a great movie in here that's begging to burst out. And given the possibilities of what this movie could have been, we got the best possible version. So shave your head and get off the morphine cause we're dissecting this one to tell you all of the parts we love and the parts we don't. Plus, we'll talk about getting cholera from a Xenomorph, the incredibly lazy way studios are naming their television shows these days, Shirley Temple's impressive longevity, John Carpenter's Dead Space movie (let him do it!), and a ton more. Alien³ stars Sigourney Weaver, Charles S. Dutton, Charles Dance, and Lance Henriksen. Directed by David Fincher.
