"Empire of the Sun": Films of 1987 + "Mickey 17" Mini-Review

The week on the show, we welcome back our music sponsor and artist in residence, DASEIN, using John’s crap audio to discuss Spielberg’s 2nd of 4 (at least) WWII epics, “Empire of The Sun.”  The random year generator spun 1987, a year we visited to discuss Bertolucci’s “The Last Emperor”, but we still gave you some set-up of what was happening around the world to add context to why in the hell two movies about empires set in China were two of the biggest movies of 1987. Dave also opens the show discussing Bong Joon Ho’s “Mickey 17” in a mini-review where he states whether this movie can hang with previous episode features “Parasite” and “Memories of Murder”.

"The Abyss": Films of 1989 + "Last Breath" Mini-Review

This week, the boys return to 1989 for the second time to discuss “The Abyss”, James Cameron’s underwater sci-fi thriller that paved the way for much of T2 and Titanic. Starring Ed Harris, May Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael Biehn, the film looks real… because it is! After John kicks things off with a mini-review of “Last Breath”, we set up what was happening in 1989 before diving deep into the film. Jeff had a first-time watch, John and Dave returned to the film. How do they feel it lives on 36 years after its release?

"Primal Fear": Films of 1996 + "Companion" "Nickel Boys" "Captain America: Brave New World"

This week, the boys head back to 1996, a peak movie year featuring dozens of movies we’ve all seen multiple times! Dave kicks things off with mini-reviews of “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Companion”. John gives some quick thoughts about “Nickel Boys”. For our featured conversation, we chose “Primal Fear”, the movie that gave us Edward Norton and helped Richard Gere prepare for “Chicago”. Set in and out of a Chicago courtroom, this movie reminds you why movies were better in the 90s. And as John said, it’s more than just a genre film!

"Kingdom of Heaven" (Director's Cut Roadshow Version): Films of 2005

This week on the show, the boys head to Jerusalem! The random year generator spun 2005, so we chose “Kingdom of Heaven” (Directors Cut Roadshow Version) to see what Ridley Scott had in mind for his swords and sandals epic with lots of class and grace surrounding the religious tension that has disrupted the peace in Jerusalem for the last 1500 years or so… probably longer. What a cast, too!

“True Romance”: Films of 1993 + “Nosferatu” “A Complete Unknown” “The Brutalist” mini-reviews

This week on the pod, after the boys catch up, honor David Lynch, and give three mini-reviews, the boys discuss 1993’s “True Romance”, the film that makes you ask, is Quentin Tarantino a better writer or director? Not that it really matters, of course, but Tony Scott directed this Tarantino/Avary script to cult superstardom. It’s Dave’s favorite QT film (maybe), and Jeff and John realize why they both liked it and think it could have been better to watch. Crazy! Mini-reviews are short, spoiler-free reactions to new films. This week we have “Nosferatu”, “A Complete Unknown”, and “The Brutalist”. Don’t want to hear us talk to each other? No worries, ass! You can check the timing and skip to “True Romance”!

"AI: Artificial Intelligence": Films of 2001

This week, the boys discuss Stephen Spielberg’s AI: Artificial Intelligence, not to be confused with A1: The Steak Sauce. When Stanley Kubrick handed over the film, did 10-year-old John know he’d never ever be able to trust this film? Just kidding. He went in with an open mind. As did Dave, who pulled a Roger Ebert: hated it the first time he watched it but loved it this time around! Where did Jeff land? I wonder if he liked it better than he likes subway poetry. Grab a beer and listen along.

"Goodrich" mini-review + "North By Northwest": Films of 1959

This week, after John briefly discusses "Goodrich", the new Michael Keaton picture written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, the boys take on another Hitchcock classic to highlight the film year 1959. Chosen by our random year generator, 1959 was a doozy for world and civil news, making a mistaken identity spy thriller the perfect film to highlight. You’ll have to listen to see if the boys think this film sits on the Mount Rushmore (get it?) of Hitchcock’s classics.

"Chinatown": Films of 1974

The random year generator spun 1974, so the boys head to 1937 L.A. to discuss the Roman Polanski, Robert Towne, Bob Evans, Jack Nicholson, and Faye Dunaway classic “Chinatown”. Often cited as one of the best movies with one of the best scripts in Hollywood history, plenty has been said about this film. Still, cinematographer Dave had never seen it, John went to fancy film school, and Jeff goes deep into the context of the film year, highlighting top-grossing films, awards, and what the heck was going on in the world. Is it coincidental that Nixon’s public demise and unequivocal exoneration came the year Chinatown cites bureaucratic corruption???

21 Grams: Films of 2003+ "The Outrun" super mini review

Two of the three dive into this high drama from the early 2000's.  Jeff is away but somehow still appears in the episode and doesn't sound the least bit like he's broadcasting from a phone in a toilet cubicle in Times Square (Don't try and find them, they don't exist) thanks to our AI audio algorithm knowing what he sounds like and his volume level.  We discuss acting performances, daring editing choices and the cinematography of the film, and have a lengthy extra discussion about how streaming "TV show" budgets are out of control.

"Saturday Night" mini-review + "The Shop Around The Corner": Films of 1940

This week, the boys head back to 1940 to discuss “The Shop Around The Corner” after setting up the film year and discussing some world events- Nylon stockings were invented this year! After Jeff gives his mini-review of “Saturday Night”, the Jason Reitman film about the making of the first episode of “Saturday Night Live”, the boys discuss the Ernst Lubitsch film, adapted from the 1936/1937 play Hungarian Perfumerie, which also inspired the musical She Loves Me and the film “You’ve Got Mail”. We also drink a lot, Dave gets mad at Thrifty, and Jeff confuses Superman and Captain America like a Beta.

'Decision To Leave': Films of 2022

This week, the boys reviewed the film year 2022, in which we saw over 50 films and discussed them in our feed. We feature “Decision To Leave,” Park Chan-wook’s incredibly filmed Korean film, which is considered one of the best international films of the year. Dave flexes his cinematography chops by detailing how the hell they did some shots, John gets wet talking about storytelling, and Jeff drinks a lot. Grab a drink and join the conversation!

'The Last Emperor': Films of 1987 + 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' mini-review

For our 250th episode this week, the boys headed to Peking to discuss the Bernardo Bertolucci masterpiece ‘The Last Emperor.’  The random year generator spun 1987, and we set up the film year, noted some world events, and then discussed how great it is to no longer have fantastic films set in Chinese spoken in English. John, with full CoVid immunity, also caught ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ and gave us a spoiler-free mini-review.

'Marty': Films of 1955 + 'Alien: Romulus' mini-review

The boys get romantic in 1955 NYC, where a simple middle-aged 34-year-old butcher named Marty caves to societal pressures and calls up a lady. We discuss! The random year generator spun in 1955, and we decided to delve into Paddy Chayefsky’s pen when he wrote “Marty”, the Oscar and Palme D’Or-winning 90-minute slice of dramatic life film starring with Ernest Borgnine in his Academy Award-winning performance. Dave is Australian, so he was drinking Fosters, and John gave us a mini-review of Alien: Romulus-going, now that his Covid passed his 5-day window.

'Jagten' ('The Hunt'): Films of 2012

This week, the boys head back to 2012 to discuss “The Hunt”, the Thomas Vinterberg - Mads Mikkelsen film nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. After we take our ritualistic pre-show shot of whiskey, we discuss major films & film news from 2012, movies we’ve previously discussed, movies that inspire us, and share some world events from 2012. We then get into an open conversation about the nuance and film techniques used to pull off this challenging yet thrilling work. Check out our socials!

'Brief Encounter': Films of 1945

The boys head back to 1945 England, where not much was happening (just kidding), to watch David Lean’s 'Brief Encounter' as part of our Random Year Generator series. David Lean’s first three films, including this one, were all Noël Coward adaptations! Didn’t expect that from the guy who gave us 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'The Bridge on the River Kwai'. We’re a drinking podcast trying to keep it positive, but somehow, Dave got buzzed over 25 times talking about this romantic drama rated the #2 Greatest British Film of all time by the British Film Institute!

'Leaving Las Vegas': Films of 1995 + 'Borderlands' mini-review

The boys head to 1995 to discuss ‘Leaving Las Vegas’, Nicolas Cage’s Oscar-winning role, and whether or not there can be such a thing as too much jazz scatting in a film score. We set the scene, give you some context of world and film news from 1995, and sink our teeth into a productive conversation about this emotional film about an alcoholic (Cage) and his prostitute friend, Elizabeth Shue. Dave opens the episode with a mini-review of ‘Borderlands,’ the Eli Roth video game series adaptation that critics and audiences shunned, despite starring huge names: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis!

'Double Indemnity': Films of 1944 + 'Trap' & 'Longlegs' mini-reviews

This week, the boys watch ‘Double Indemnity,’ the incredible Billy Wilder film based on the crime novella of the same name, which is also based on a true story! Since the co-hosts don’t have solid life insurance policies, we can rest easy knowing our spouses can’t try that crap on us. Don’t even think about it, Diamond! We also spend a few minutes on some spoiler-free mini-reviews of M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Trap’ and Oz Perkins’ ‘Longlegs’.  Grab a drink and join us!

'Under the Silver Lake': Films of 2018 + 'Deadpool & Wolverine' mini-review

This week on the pod, Dave gives a brief, spoiler-free recommendation of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ before the boys take a trip back to 2018 to discuss David Robert Mitchell’s ‘Under the Silver Lake’. The random year generator spun 2018, and the boys didn’t want to discuss the big money-makers of the year. Screw them. We’ll give you some context of what was going on that year in film, culture, and news, and we also drink a lot during the episode, so crack open a beer and listen along!

'Deliverance': Films of 1972 + 'Twisters' mini-review

This week, the boys head up the Cahulawassee River to discuss ‘Deliverance’: Films of 1972. Our random year generator spun a year we’ve previously crossed to discuss ‘The Godfather’ and ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ and the three of us had never seen it before! Maybe it’s people's reaction when you say, “I’m going to watch ‘Deliverance,’ want to come over?” While we’re a joke-flinging, arrow-shooting, beer-drinking podcast, we promise to give a thoughtful and insightful reflection of ‘Deliverance’ that other podcasts can’t deliver! Dave also opens with a mini-review of ’Twisters’ in IMAX! Grab a beer and push play.

Denis Villeneuve's 'Incendies': Films of 2010

This week, the boys grab a beer and head back to 2010 to cover Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Incendies’, now streaming on Prime, and discuss what else was happening in that surprising year. From ‘The Social Network’ to ‘The King’s Speech’ to a whole lot of profitable animated films, led by the $1 Billion-grossing ‘Toy Story 3’, as well as some other big-budget films like ‘Inception’ and sequels to Harry Potter, Twilight, and Shrek. We also discuss Hollywood's inflated production costs and gripe about clean toilet paper littered throughout public bathrooms.

'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance': Films of 1962 + 'The Bikeriders' and 'A Quiet Place: Day One' mini-reviews

The boys grab a beer and head to Shinbone, the fictional town in a western US territory in the old West, to discuss ‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’: Films of 1962. The newest edition to our “Random Year Generator” was tons of fun to discuss, making jabs at John Ford’s notoriously fiery antics, John Wayne and Jimmy Stewarts contrasting acting styles, Lee Marvin’s screen presence, and how there were that many steaks in the old west- how were any cows left! We also had a few mini-reviews, beginning with “A Quiet Place: Day One” and then segueing into “The Bikeriders”.

'Leviathan': Films of 1989

John is back to discuss ‘Leviathan’, the fun underwater monster movie that attempted to kick ‘The Abyss’ in the ass the way Germany kicked the Berlin Wall to the ground!
