October 13, 2023 06:00 - 35 minutes - 28.5 MB

The movie: Taxi Driver (1976) Ian and Joshua finally watch the DeNiro movie that launched a presidential re-election. Is there anything actually aspiring about it? Is working because you can't sleep wise? Just how much did a dirty movie cost in New York in the '70s?

October 06, 2023 06:00 - 30 minutes - 24.5 MB

The movie: The Thin Man (1934) It's time to watch another light-hearted murder mystery that asks the big, important questions. Like, how long is Christmas, exactly? And, what makes a good murderer? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

September 29, 2023 06:00 - 36 minutes - 29.3 MB

The movie: Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Ian and Joshua finally sit down for four hours of Peter O'Toole crossing the desert with those eyes. Plenty of time to ponder things like identity and confidence, while still asking the important questions. Is this movie still relevant? Or does it insist upon itself? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

September 22, 2023 06:00 - 34 minutes - 30.3 MB

The movie: How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965) Ian and Joshua watch another beach party movie, because apparently they didn't learn their lesson the first time. This one has Buster Keaton in it, though. That's a good sign, right? Right? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

September 15, 2023 23:29 - 33 minutes - 26.1 MB

The movie: Within Our Gates (1920) Joshua makes Ian watch the oldest surviving movie made by a Black filmmaker, with hopes that it will spark some desire to watch "Birth of a Nation." Will Ian be convinced? Are there messages in this film still relevant 100 years later? How far have we really come as a nation? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

#177 - Grooming a Teenage Witch

September 08, 2023 06:00 - 34 minutes - 26.5 MB

The movie: Sabrina (1954) Ian and Joshua watch this Billy Wilder classics and hope for a shirtless William Holden. Ian looks out for a talking black cat, while Joshua re-examines his sexuality. It's always good to check in on it from time to time. http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

September 01, 2023 13:00 - 30 minutes - 20.5 MB

The movie: Trading Places (1983) Ian and Joshua watch how sick and twisted the super rich were in the '80s to everyday people. Thank goodness those days are over, right? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

September 01, 2023 06:00 - 31 minutes - 24.4 MB

The movie: Hester Street (1975) Joshua wants to see Carol Kane in an Oscar-nominated performance, so he and Ian watch her immigrate to America to meet her husband who's been sleeping around. Was it worth the find? Will they want to call a taxi halfway through? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

#175 - Groucho-ing All Over the Place

August 25, 2023 06:00 - 33 minutes - 26.1 MB

The movie: A Night At the Opera (1934) It's been a while since Ian and Joshua have watched some Marx Brothers, so they class things up by taking in a bit of high society, and a crowded stateroom. http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

#174 - Spock Ex Machina

August 18, 2023 06:00 - 33 minutes - 26.4 MB

The movie: Star Trek - The Motion Picture (1979) Cracker Classics sets out to piss off an entire fandom as Ian and Joshua explore what cameos and long establishing shots can do to pad the length of a film. There is also spirited discussion about blatant yet unmentioned sexual references and the superiority of Doctor Who. http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

#173 - Mustache Rides: Double or Nothing

August 11, 2023 06:00 - 35 minutes - 27.5 MB

The movie: Smokey and the Bandit (1978) Joshua and Ian want to see some sweet 'stache and go for Burt Reynolds bootlegging across the South with Sally Field. Will they regret their decisions and be turned off facial hair forever? http://www.crackerclassics.com  https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

#172 - Keep Drinking the Kool-Aid

August 04, 2023 06:00 - 41 minutes - 32.3 MB

The movie: A Clockwork Orange (1972) Ian and Joshua watch an old favorite of theirs and hope it holds up. They both want it to be just as horrorshow as they remember, but will their glazzys viddy some awful truths?  http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics

Beaten By Belloq ['80s Edition]

August 01, 2023 19:02 - 32 minutes - 19.7 MB

The movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Joshua and Ian seek adventure and history while seeing Indiana Jones be a sexist pig who always has the right answer to every archaeological mystery.
