Title: Fudoh: The New Generation [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Takashi Miike Producers: Yoshinori Chiba, Toshiki Kimura Writers: Toshiyuki Morioka (screenplay), Hitoshi Tanimura (original manga) Stars: Shosuke Tanihara. Riki Takeuchi, Toru Minegishi, Kenji Takano Release date: October 12, 1996 PROMO: Retro Anime Podcast (@retroanime) SPECIAL GUEST: Jason Stein, Dads from the Crypt (@CryptDads) SHOWNOTES: On our latest #Miikeversary Special, we are joined by returning guest Jason from Dads from the Crypt, as we talk about one of Takashi Miike's earlier works: Fudoh: The New Generation. Originally intended as a direct-to-video adaptation of an unfinished manga series, the producers of Fudoh were so impressed by the film that they insisted it premiere in theaters in 1996, and it's easy to see why with Miike's penchant for Yakuza stories, as well as his talent for cinematography and adapting wacky, edgy plots so far out they could only come from a manga.

On this momentous occasion, Derik from Ratchet Book Club and A Seat at the Spades Table joins Beau and Ashley as a first-time watcher of the 2003 independent film often called "the Citizen Kane of bad movies". It would be a massive understatement to call Wiseau's magnum opus The Room important to Collateral Cinema; it's practically the reason we started podcasting together in the first place! We took the opportunity to hear Derik's fresh take moments after the experience and share our thoughts on why this film is not only so important to us, but to cinema and pop culture as a whole. Thank you to all of our listeners, guests, collaborators, and fellow podcasters for helping us make it this far, and here's to Season Nine and the next 100 episodes! You are tearing us apart!

We're going podcasting. Mike from Mike, Mike, and Oscar joins us for an analysis of the 2004 teen comedy film directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey: Mean Girls! As consistently hilarious as it is quotable, this movie is a favorite of millennials, due in no small part to its surplus of memorable performances and Fey's brilliant screenplay.

Title(s): Reefer Madness (a.k.a. Tell Your Children, The Burning Question, Dope Addict, Doped Youth, Love Madness) [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Louis J. Gasnier Producer(s): George Hirliman (1936), Dwain Esper (1938-39) Writers: Arthur Hoerl (screenplay), Lawrence Meade (story) Stars: Dorothy Short, Kenneth Craig, Lillian Miles, Dave O'Brien, Thelma White, Warren McCollum, Carleton Young Release year(s): 1936 (original), 1938 (re-release) PROMO: Cinema Recall (@cinema_recall) SPECIAL GUESTS: Kevin and Erin Dougherty (@QueenErin), The Podcast That Wouldn't Die! (/tpodcasttwdie.bsky.social) SHOWNOTES: We hope all of our ganja-enjoying listeners had a fantastic 4/20; we sure did! This stoner holiday, we blazed while watching the anti-cannabis propaganda exploitation film Reefer Madness! Originally released as a Christian picture titled Tell Your Children in 1936, then vulgarly recut as an exploitation film from 1938 through the 50s, this hilariously melodramatic flick was recontextualized as an unintentional satire in the 70s, and is ironically considered by many weed smokers one of the original stoner movies today. For our (belated) 4/20 Special, Beau and Ash are joined by returning guests Kevin and Erin from The Podcast That Wouldn't Die! in our discussion of one of the worst films ever made and the batshit insanity it unabashedly presents as factual in its campaign against marijuana. If you enjoy this special episode, stay tuned for our (also belated) analysis of Ghost in the Shell, as well as our next numbered episode on Doctor Who: "The Day of the Doctor", and... smoke it if you got it!

Title: The California Kid [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Richard T. Heffron Producer: Howie Horwitz Writer: Richard Compton Stars: Martin Sheen, Vic Morrow, Michelle Philips, Nick Nolte, Stuart Margolin PROMO: Movie Wars (@MovieWarsPod) SHOWNOTES: Due to production issues, we are jumping ahead to our next episode ahead of Ghost in the Shell: we're reviewing the 1974 made-for-TV film starring Martin Sheen, The California Kid! This action thriller car movie is a blast to the past, filmed in the 70s and set in the 50s. While it may be one of our more obscure picks, Robert, Beau, and Ash tell you why we think it's worth a watch, not only for car enthusiasts but anyone interested in a TV flick with a rising star. We'll be back with Ghost in the Shell as soon as possible and then our next scheduled episode: the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, "The Day of the Doctor"!

Title: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Jeff Fowler Producers: Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, Toru Nakahara, Hitoshi Okuno Writers: Pat Casey, Josh Miller (screenplay/story); John Whittington (screenplay); Sega (original games) Stars: Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Krysten Ritter, Natasha Rothwell, Shemar Moore, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves Release date: December 20, 2024 PROMO: Reading Between the Reels (@ReadBtweenReels) COLLAB: Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast (@CGamingPodcast) SHOWNOTES: Gotta go fast! ...Except we weren't. We sort of dropped the ball on releasing an At the Movies review while Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was in theaters, and we didn't mention it on the Year in Review episode, but since Collateral Media has covered both of the previous films, we just couldn't not talk about the latest—and possibly greatest—one. So, once again, Collateral Gaming joins Collateral Cinema for a discussion of Jeff Fowler's newest Sonic movie, and this time we can get into full spoilers! With the addition of fan favorite Keanu Reeves to the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, and the return of Jim Carrey for not just one Robotnik role, but two, it's sure to be a blast! We'll have even more content out very soon, such as our Ghost in the Shell (1995) episode with the Retro Anime Podcast, as well as our analysis of The California Kid.

Title: Pass Thru Director: Neil Breen Producer: Neil Breen Writer: Neil Breen Stars: Neil Breen, Viad, Kathy Corpus Release year: 2016 PROMO: Movie Wars (@MovieWarsPod) SHOWNOTES: On this year's first installment of Bad Movie December, we are embracing the Breenius yet again as we cover auteur/actor/ex-CIA/messianic entity/skilled hacker with magical powers/artificial intelligence from the future/AI humanoid Neil Breen's fourth feature film, Pass Thru! In what is both his most dreamlike and arguably unhinged film up to this point, Breen yet again astounds us with his unique approach to filmmaking, script beyond mortal comprehension, and showcase of surreal performances. But is there a point where a Neil Breen film becomes just another Neil Breen film? If you enjoy this review, stay tuned for our next Bad Movie December episode on Samurai Cop 1 & 2 (with Geek Freaks), as well as our Holiday Special on Terrifier 3 (with Abyss Gazing) and Post-Holiday Director's Cut! on the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! "Chrimbus Special".

Title: Back to the Future [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Robert Zemeckis Producers: Bob Gale, Neil Canton Writers: Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale Stars: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover Release date: July 3, 1985 PROMO: Anime Talk (@AnimeTalk12) SHOWNOTES: LISTENERS! WE HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE! On the latest episode of Collateral Cinema, Robert, Beau, and Ash discuss a perennial 80s classic and a quintessential watch for any movie fan: Back to the Future! That's right, the original 1985 film that spawned Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale's media franchise as well as helped establish an entire branch of science fiction cinema. The trilogy as a whole is a highly regarded piece of our collective childhoods, but the first movie in particular stands out for its phenomenal script, excellent performances, and unforgettable soundtrack. Preserved in the National Film Registry and widely considered one of the best films ever made, Back to the Future is a flick we're genuinely surprised we've taken eight seasons to talk about! If you enjoy our take on it, just wait for our takes on the atrocities of Bad Movie December coming soon: Neil Breen's Pass Thru and Samurai Cop 1 & 2. And if you don't, well, I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it!
