Episode 35 - "Lethal Weapon 2"

March 15, 2024 19:41 - 1 hour - 71.5 MB

When Richard Donner’s “Lethal Weapon 2” was released in 1989 it not only conquered the box office, it quickly and assuredly climbed the ranks of movie sequels which surpassed their predecessors…a rare feat. This rousing entertainment wears its heart on its sleeve. Laced with wit and spectacular action, the film is widely considered the best of the franchise. Author and media executive, Andrew Fryer, joins Dennis to discuss how the filmmakers perfectly harnessed the magic of Riggs and Murtaugh...

Episode 34 - "Swingers"

February 23, 2024 02:25 - 1 hour - 70.6 MB

It’s hard to imagine a film as treasured as 1996’s “Swingers” actually failing at the box office. But it happened. Only a shrewd marketing push by Buena Vista Home Video gave the movie a second life, and in short order it became a highly-quotable cult classic. It also catapulted the careers of Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn and director Doug Liman. Ad tech executive Jason Zollan, the guy behind the guy behind the guy, joins Dennis to discuss why this superb indie comedy defied the odds. We’re all ...

Episode 33 - "Pulp Fiction"

February 02, 2024 01:52 - 1 hour - 74.5 MB

Media heavyweight and first time guest Jason Wagenheim didn’t bat an eye when asked which movie he wanted to discuss: Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” What can we say, Wagenheim doesn't screw around. Featuring three interlocking stories about thugs, palookas and divine intervention, this landmark achievement from 1994 hijacked the social conversation, resuscitated John Travolta’s career and instantly changed the course of independent cinema. So, grab yourself a Big Kahuna Burger and let’s ...

Episode 32 - "A Christmas Story"

December 22, 2023 20:01 - 1 hour - 73.6 MB

Jean Shepherd's razor sharp wit and keen eye for period detail provide the perfect holiday cheer in 1983's "A Christmas Story." Scot Safon and Jim Camlek return to the show and join Dennis to discuss why this heralded gem became one of the most treasured holiday films on record. It's a major award! (Dedicated to the loving memory of Barbara Camlek). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 31 - "L.A. Confidential"

December 18, 2023 16:42 - 1 hour - 77.7 MB

Jason Thompson is our resident expert on crime author James Ellroy. So it surprises no one when he leapt at the chance to join Dennis to discuss Curtis Hanson’s critically-acclaimed “L.A. Confidential” from 1997. This muscular, exquisitely crafted thriller about celebrity, crime and police corruption not only pays homage to classic noir of the 40’s and 50’s, but confidently earns its place alongside it. Life is good in Los Angeles, it’s paradise on Earth...that’s what they tell you, anyway. ...

Episode 30 - "The Royal Tenenbaums"

December 03, 2023 22:07 - 1 hour - 81.8 MB

Wes Anderson's critically-acclaimed 2001 film "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the kind of movie that takes on new meaning once you've danced a few rounds with life. Perhaps a comedy on the surface, this is a film about regret, loss, the passage of time...and Old Custer. Nick Malone returns to the show to revisit one of Anderson's greatest cinematic achievements. It's about putting a brick through the other guy's windshield, taking it out and chopping it up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy ...

Episode 29 - Rick Rosenthal, Director "Halloween II" (1981)

October 29, 2023 22:18 - 1 hour - 66.4 MB

In Los Angeles, you never know who's sitting at the next table. Sometimes it's an accomplished, award-winning filmmaker who's worked in film and television for over thirty five years. Call it chance, call it serendipity, but when you bump into the director of "Halloween II" and "Halloween: Resurrection," you invite him onto the pod. Hollywood veteran Rick Rosenthal joins Dennis to discuss his prolific career in entertainment, an unwavering support for aspiring filmmakers and the mark he left ...

Episode 28 - "Out of Sight"

October 14, 2023 16:28 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

You've got Steven Soderbergh, a rising filmmaker eager to take his craft to the level, two budding movie stars in Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney, and an acclaimed novel by Elmore Leonard, a national treasure. "Out of Sight" was lightning in a bottle, a perfect storm that changed the course of everyone's careers. So why did it tank at the box office? Filmmaker Matthew C. Mills joins Dennis to geek out on this criminally-overlooked gem from 1998 and assess why nobody ever talks about it. No ...

Episode 27 - "The Fugitive"

September 16, 2023 16:55 - 1 hour - 69.8 MB

It’s rare when a film comes along that strikes a chord with the critics while also becoming a massive commercial success. Such was the case with “The Fugitive.” The second highest grossing film of 1993 was universally acclaimed and also recognized with seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture (and a Supporting Actor win for Tommy Lee Jones). That doesn’t happen often and it begs the question of whether it was cinema's last great thinking person’s action film. So think yourself ...

Episode 26 - "Road House"

August 26, 2023 20:30 - 1 hour - 68.7 MB

Patrick Swayze injures himself while shooting a grueling fight scene in 1989's “Road House.” As a result he’s unable to star in "Predator 2" or “Tango & Cash,” and opts for the less strenuous role of Sam Wheat in “Ghost.” Which only becomes the highest-grossing film of 1990, a career move that catapulted him to another level of stardom. All because he said yes to play the Double Deuce's brawny, philosophizing cooler, Dalton. After months of waiting for his phone to ring, Rob Bohn finally join...

Episode 25 - "The Bear"

August 05, 2023 01:13 - 1 hour - 76.8 MB

When a work of art can speak to you so profoundly that you think it was specifically made for you, breathe that in deeply because that's rarified air. That’s how Lance Neuhauser and Dennis both feel about the FX series “The Bear.” Neuhauser makes his annual visit to the show to not only sing the praises of this terrific creative achievement but to also question whether criticism and optimism can co-exist. Micro basil, eff yeah! (Warning: Spoilers) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for ...

Episode 24 - "Coming to America"

July 21, 2023 19:46 - 1 hour - 81.6 MB

How can “Coming to America” not be considered one of the most quoted movies of the 80’s? It features a treasure trove of delightful characters. Reverend Brown. Randy Watson. Cleo McDowell. The My-T-Sharp barbers. Priceless. So, prepare the royal baggage as David O’Sullivan joins Dennis to celebrate the film’s 35th Anniversary and relive a glorious time of their youth when they both worked the concession stand at the Trans-Lux Cine’ in Danbury, CT. "No journey is too great when one finds what ...

Episode 23 - Good Bad Movies

June 17, 2023 19:19 - 1 hour - 88 MB

It's late at night, you’re flipping channels and land on a movie you know you probably shouldn’t be watching. After all, you’ve got better things to do, right? Wrong. Some refer to them as guilty pleasures but we call them Good Bad Movies. As Jason Thompson puts it, “These films are chicken pot pies, they are fish sticks.” Movies with no nutritional value, but let's face it, they sure taste great. So, buckle up and take a ride on The Porkchop Express as Jason, Nick Malone and Jim Camlek join ...

Episode 22 - "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy"

April 23, 2023 22:04 - 1 hour - 74.5 MB

The story of San Diego’s top ranked news anchorman getting upstaged by a budding female reporter is the perfect film to break format on a podcast. When the host of this show got the call from network brass that they wanted to give Nick Malone - a rising, hot shot talent from the local affiliate in Viera, Florida - his shot at guest hosting duties, he graciously agreed to the proposition. After all, Dennis has secretly wanted to be a guest on his own pod for a while now. So, let's give this ki...

Episode 21 - "Heat"

March 17, 2023 15:27 - 1 hour - 86.2 MB

The late Tom Sizemore said it best, “For me, the action is the juice.” In 1995 few filmmakers had the juice to convince Warner Bros. to green light an ambitious three hour movie featuring two of the greatest actors of their generation. But visionary director Michael Mann was determined to finally realize his sprawling Los Angeles crime saga, and he did so with the critically acclaimed “Heat,” a searing work widely considered to be his masterpiece. Jason Thompson returns to the pod and joins D...

Episode 20 - "Die Hard"

December 23, 2022 23:46 - 1 hour - 80.3 MB

Imagine having so much love for a film that you stakeout a video store in the dead of winter just so you can be the first person to rent the VHS (and bring it home and illegally dub it!) That’s the kind of heart Steve Cozzolino and Dennis have for the 1988 masterpiece “Die Hard;” but let’s be clear, their 40+ year friendship goes way beyond film piracy. These life-long best friends return to Nakatomi to celebrate one of the greatest action - and Christmas - films of all time, and to once agai...

Young filmmakers rarely become overnight sensations however that is exactly what M. Night Shyamalan accomplished. With his massive breakout "The Sixth Sense," the writer/director became an immediate household name. A brand even. He hit the trifecta with his two subsequent films "Unbreakable" and "Signs," both of which cemented his arrival as master storyteller.

“You don’t beat this river.” Words to live by. Ed, Lewis, Drew and Bobby leave their Atlanta homes for a canoe trip down the Cahulawassee and a harmless weekend getaway goes horribly awry in John Boorman’s critically-acclaimed “Deliverance.” Nominated for Best Picture in 1972, it is considered one of the greatest films ever made, and it turned Burt Reynolds into a movie star.

October 08, 2022 00:23 - 1 hour - 87.9 MB

1982 was a banner year for Sylvester Stallone. “Rocky III” is a knockout and months later he stars in “First Blood,” a lean, tough-fibered actioner that introduces John Rambo to the world. It’s an acclaimed and important film; one can even posit that it’s the best work Stallone has ever done. Not unlike Rambo, Chief Boatswain’s Mate Jason Thompson, United States Navy, Ret. has seen the world in ways most of us can only dream about yet has witnessed things we hope to never experience.
