Snobbies! We’re back with Cody’s pick for REMAKES and this one is a stone cold classic. Kurt Russell has never been hotter?? Questions mark?? This remake is from a 1951 original called, “The Thing From Another World,” adapted from the 1938 novel, Who Goes There? WE WATCHED Director John Carpenter’s, “The Thing.” THIS. FILM. RULES!!! We had an absolute blast watching this film. Every once and a while, the Snobs watch a film that just makes us react. The Thing was more psychological than we thought and we loved talking through what makes us human? Who can we trust? What even was this film trying to say? One thing was for sure, this film had EPIC visual effects. Ooey, Gooey, gutsy, visual effects. Enjoy this legendary film Film Discussed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Thing (1982) Letterboxd: Eric Peterson: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/EricLPeterson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Jared Klopfenstein: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/kidchimp/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ethan Jasso: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/e_unit7/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Caleb Zehr: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/cjzehr/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ricky Wickham: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠letterboxd.com/octopuswizard/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Here is a COMPLETE LIST of every film that we have done an episode for.

Good morning SNOBBIES! And welcome back to our episode on Terence Davies month. This week we have Jared’s pick and he decided to go with “The Long Day Closes.” This film has a similar feel and vibe to Distant Voices, Still Lives. In this film we follow the perspective of Bud, a boy in Liverpool in the 1950’s, coming of age around the other family members and the austere Catholic Church as he enters the rigors of school, nurtures a bedazzled love of the movies and longs for companionship. Jared says this is a near perfect film and Terence Davies best film he’s ever made. We dive into childhoods, favorite shots, the Davies Dissolve, and much much more. Enjoy!

Snobbies. Welcome to a new segment. Today we are featuring an old ep from the archives. This episode is one that we have talked about more than once on the podcast. The topic when this originally aired was "Going on a Journey." This was Ricky's week to pick a film and he decided to go with MXP Most Xtreme Primate as the film that best represented "Going on a Journey." You can tell on the pod, but I was a little less than enthusiastic about this pick. Probably one of the only times I've actively tried to derail a podcast due to how horrible the film was. Ahhh, fun times. Anyway, enjoy this throwback week as we recuperate after the holidays and we WILL be back with Jared's Terence Davies pick next time! See you then!

He joins for the first time ever and we have an interesting one for you.

Here. We. GOOOOO!! Welcome back to SPOOKTOBER 4, pick #3 by Cody Martin himself. We are excited to talk about this film. This animated EPIC is packed with delicious animation, beautiful shots, and a tragic story. This film is directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and is called, “Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.” This film, in the words of Cody is the perfect middle ground as it doesn’t feel like a halloween movie made by Disney or an over the top horror flick.

Welcome Snobbies! to the last episode in the ChatGPT series where Artificial Intelligence picks our movies for us. The topic has been a lot of fun and we have seen some really cool films. Tonight we have Jared picking the film from the list ChatGPT gave him. The film that was chosen was from legendary director Éric Rohmer, “A Summer’s Tale.” This film deal with ultra-realism, where the other film we did for this topic, 8 1/2, did surrealism. The film follows a man on his way through the French coast side and his many interactions with women where choices are made for him. We had different opinions about this film, but we all agreed that it was the best of the bunch.
