Forbidden Cinema 126 - Young Guns - Going Deeper
July 14, 2024 17:34 - 1 hour - 65.3 MBWelcome back as we tackle the questions nobody bothered to ask about our episode on Young Guns starring Emilio Estevez and everyone else who was hot in 1988. Zack gives us a brief history lesson about the Lincoln County War and how this film is surprisingly probably the most accurate representation ever put on film. We go in detail about which of the Young "Buns" actors has showed his buns the most on screen and can't even believe the number that Charlie Sheen puts on the scoreboard. Side...
Forbidden Cinema 125 - Young Guns
June 16, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 72.5 MBWe are back and this time with a proper movie. We watched Young Guns from 1988. There were 80's heartthrobs all over the place in what bizarrely seems to be maybe the most historically accurate film depicting the Lincoln County War. That's right, this is a biopic about Billy the Kid. Spoiler alert, it is kind of serious and Bon Jovi is nowhere to be seen. We think all of our preconceived notions about this film were from Young Guns 2. Come along with us as we see a Fagan-like Gener...
Forbidden Cinema 124 - Red Shoe Diaries 213 - Some Things Never Change
May 28, 2024 01:22 - 31 minutes - 28.1 MBOne last time into the fray! We have done it. We are now surely the internet's best and most complete resource for the first 2 seasons of 90's cable erotica Red Shoe Diaries. David Duchovny and Stella are back to read another letter from a Parisienne ad executive and her old flame / impossible to work with auteur commercial director. We have (surprise) red shoes in an episode for the first time in forever. There are random elevator shots, no crazy bedroom sets, stair sex, and a very low...
Forbidden Cinema 123 - Red Shoe Diaries 212 - Alphabet Girl
May 20, 2024 01:48 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBJoin us as we continue what has to be the most exhaustive deep dive of the nineties erotica for women cable show Red Shoe Diaries. We are winding down this season hopefully to get back to some movies just like David Duchovny. In Alphabet Girl we have a young model in a not terribly torrid affair with her famous photographer. There is not really a love triangle with his young assistant. Mostly everybody gives each other the space and time they need to grow, except for that one time wher...
Forbidden Cinema 122 - Red Shoe Diaries 211 - Gina
May 06, 2024 01:46 - 28 minutes - 25 MBDamn Gina... This episode is wild... I mean the last episode was wild, but this one was almost incomprehensible. Off to Paris at the houseboat next to the Highlander we get an American woman who (hopefully doesn't murder) and assumes the identity of her Parisienne benefactor. It's the Talented Mr. Ripley meets a Harlequin romance novel. This was probably the worst episode yet from a technical perspective, but we are here with you to work through the trauma of this atrocity. We are only ...
Forbidden Cinema 121 - Red Shoe Diaries 210 - Love at First Sight
April 29, 2024 01:43 - 34 minutes - 30.5 MBStop what you are doing, fire up Tubi, and watch this episode. I know we usually talk about stuff from our childhood that our parents would not let us watch, but this is something special. This episode completely breaks the mold of the moody/broody/dreamy 90s erotica for women anthology series and goes bat crap insane. This is 30 minutes of your life that you will be happy to have spent with us. I can't imagine many people have watched this in the last 30 years, and they are missing out....
Forbidden Cinema 120 - Red Shoe Diaries 209 - Hotline
April 08, 2024 03:07 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBWhoah... This one is getting Zack a little hot under the collar and Jenny a little annoyed at the logistics. We have got an oddly traditional gender role world view from a guy with no sleeves and his new bride who finds work at a phone sex line apparently featuring Margaret Cho!?!?!? This one has snapping rubber underpants, some playful spanking, a Friday Night Special from Leather Lana, kitchen table lovemaking, and the secrets of Stella the Dog. Come along as we continue our deep dive ...
Forbidden Cinema 119 - Red Shoe Diaries 208 - In the Blink of an Eye
March 18, 2024 00:56 - 29 minutes - 30 MBBuckle up folks, this one is wild. We continue our journey through early 90s cable erotica for women with Episode 208 of Red Shoe Diaries. This week we have David Duchovny actually playing for real with his doggy. There are vaguely European things, lots of establishing shots of castles that we never go to, a boxing ring in a stable, and some sex scenes that we think may have inspired Braveheart?
Forbidden Cinema 118 - Red Shoe Diaries 207 - Liar's Tale
February 26, 2024 03:56 - 23 minutes - 21 MBHey everybody, sorry for the short episode this week. There was not a ton of meat on the bones for this episode, but the Forbidden Crew are refusing to pull a Duchovny and phone it in this week. We have the story of a photojournalist doing a story on "up market" sex workers who make $1500 a night. This one reads more like a psychological thriller where everyone is stalking everyone. Zack actually thinks he could work this into a thriller. We have a lady spying on sex, lots of red neckwe...
Forbidden Cinema 117 - Red Shoe Diaries 206 - Night of Abandon
February 20, 2024 03:45 - 41 minutes - 36.7 MBIt's Carnival! Join us as we have establishing shots of Rio, some Wild On clips from E! Network, and then some close ups of sex on a beach (that we assume is in southern California). This one is wild. We have some samba that is more nude that we think is actually allowed at Carnival. We have a weird wine/blood orgy. We have a super horny grandma, a lady who is definitely not Brazilian, and a white horse tamed on the beach. We also wonder about the mechanics of a sacrifice brought back ...
Forbidden Cinema 116 - Red Shoe Diaries 205 - Burning Up
February 20, 2024 03:33 - 34 minutes - 30.3 MBOk, things are getting wild. We have sexy firefighters and the unreliable narrators who voyeur them in the shower. Are there any actual fires happening? Is she setting these fires? Is a steamy night with a veterinarian who is actually a "real doctor" what this lady needs, or should she look up some BetterHelp (not a sponsor). Come along as we wind down our Valentines binge of early 90's cable erotica for women. David Duchovny would approve.
Forbidden Cinema 115 - Red Shoe Diaries 204 - Kidnap
February 16, 2024 23:50 - 26 minutes - 23.6 MBJoey is back! That's right, we have the second and apparently last appearance of a not-yet-famous Matt Leblanc as a modern day bank robbing cowboy? In this episode we have people escaping from a bank robbery on horseback. We have a kidnapping. We have a winner-take-all highest stakes game of poker. Come along with the Forbidden crew as we start to wind down this Valentine's Day / Carnival week binging as much early 90s cable erotica for women as we can and giving our feedback.
Forbidden Cinema 114 - Red Shoe Diaries203 - Runway
February 15, 2024 17:50 - 26 minutes - 24 MBThree episodes down in a week. Join the Forbidden Crew on our Valentine's week binge of the 90's erotica for women staple, Red Shoe Diaries. Barely famous David Duchovny is phoning it in with Stella the Dog reading the diary of Amber Smith, a young fashion model who has a rendezvous with her cab driver. We see no buttons on shirts of any kinds, a Matrix fashion show 5 years before the Matrix, more natural lighting than any episode so far, butt crack hair gleaming in the natural lighting e...
Forbidden Cinema 113 - Red Shoe Diaries 202 - Naked in the Moonlight
February 14, 2024 05:31 - 35 minutes - 30.6 MBLaissez le bon temps rouler. Happy Mardi Gras and Happy Valentines Day! Join the Forbidden Crew as we look at Red Shoe Diaries 202 - Naked in the Moonlight. We have some of the sexiest sex scenes so far in the series... but not much in the way of moonlight. Join us as we look at a lady with a bunch of cars getting a boner for a working class dude. There are lights dangling in the middle of industrial workspaces, open air showers, classic cars, jingly foley work on jewelry, and Tha...
Forbidden Cinema 112 - Red Shoe Diaries 201 - Midnight Bells
February 13, 2024 01:33 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MBWelcome to Valentine's Day week and Carnival! Plus Zack is on Vacation. We had an idea, we are going to try to do as many episodes of Red Shoe Diaries from the early 90's as we possibly can this week. They are going to be rough edits, but we are going to go until we drop. Come back with us to the early 90s as (a now famous) David Duchovny and Stella the Dog introduce us to a middle aged Jewish man, his eccentric sculptor wife, and his daughter think is the voice of female desire. In thi...
Forbidden Cinema 111 - Caddyshack Going Deeper
February 05, 2024 00:46 - 46 minutes - 41.3 MBWelcome back! The forbidden crew look into the questions that were best left unanswered from our coverage of Caddyshack. We are back in 1980, people. We find newspapers from the week this film came out (the week Zack was born) and see what is going on in the world... spoiler alert... the world sucks in 1980. We pause and take a look at the career of Harold Ramis, a man with 4 films on AFI's top 100 funnies. We also spend a little time looking at Brian Doyle, a strong contender for our 2...
Forbidden Cinema 110 - Caddyshack
January 22, 2024 03:25 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBOk, we are in the 80s here, but just barely... We watched the movie that came out when Zack was 6 days old, Caddyshack. There are old white guys going to 11 at every moment. Chevy Chase is a creepy golf guru. RIP Cindy Morgan who plays the siren of the piece. I'm pretty sure Sarah Holcomb isn't Irish. Did we mention Rodney Dangerfield is in the movie and is hilarious he dose scare one of our cats, though. We watched the Kenny Loggins, gopher dancing, Bill Murray mumbling masterpiece t...
Forbidden Cinema 109 - Eyes Wide Shut - Going Deeper
January 15, 2024 22:40 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBJoin us as we answer the questions nobody thought to ask about Eyes Wide Shut. We look at the original novel and how close it is to the film. We find out that this has not been the first time this has been adapted and look into the films of Mario Bianci who directed such classics as The Erotic Adventures of Zorro. We talk about the Guinness world record grueling shoot for no apparent reason, and look a little into what is known about this time in Tom and Nicole's lives. Jenny continues h...
Forbidden Cinema 108 - Eyes Wide Shut
January 02, 2024 04:56 - 1 hour - 110 MBMerry Christmas, ya filthy animals, and a happy new year. We watched the final film of a master film maker, Eyes Wide Shut. Where do we even start. This thing took years to shoot. The tabloids went crazy about the sex and relationships of the stars. One of the best directors of all time stayed up all night talking to Zalman King to get the vibe just right for a weird dreamlike orgy. Did we mention Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are in this thing. Welcome to the 2 hour 40 minute masterpi...
Episode 107 - The Whole Nine Yards - Going Deeper
December 18, 2023 02:48 - 1 hour - 89 MBHello friends, and welcome back to Forbidden Cinema! This week we go deeper and answer the questions we had from our coverage of the late Matthew Perry's R-rated caper comedy, The Whole Nine Yards. If you know, you know. We start with looking into what we were curious about during our main episode on the movie. Then we look at the time it was released and try to find sources from the day to figure out what day to day life was like in news, entertainment, film, sex, drugs, and rockandroll...
Episode 106 - The Whole Nine Yards
December 10, 2023 21:56 - 1 hour - 81.6 MBThe Forbidden Cinema crew take a moment to come out of our normal timeline to pay homage to the late, great Matthew Perry. This week we go all the way in to the distant future of the year 2000 to look at the Bruce Willis / Matthew Perry caper comedy, The Whole Nine Yards. This critically mixed (but must have been commercially valid as there was a sequel) film had it's flaws, but at a brisk 98 minutes with credits and 2 musical numbers it flew by with some incredible physical comedy from an...
Forbidden Cinema 105 - Bram Stoker’s Dracula - Going Deeper
November 19, 2023 22:03 - 1 hour - 81.3 MBWelcome back everyone! We hope everyone had a great October / Halloween / Spooky Season. As we head into the holidays Zack and Jenny follow up with the questions nobody ever bothered to ask about our coverage of Bram Stoker's Dracula. We threw a little bit of shade by omitting Peter Cushing as Van Helsing in our main episode, so we make sure to give him some love in this one. We talk about the Spanish language Dracula filmed at night on the same sets as the Tod Browning version. Have yo...
Forbidden Cinema 104 - Bram Stoker’s Dracula
November 06, 2023 03:37 - 1 hour - 113 MBHappy Halloween family and welcome back to the Jr high lunch table for Bram Stoker's Dracula. We go back to 1992 for Francis Ford Coppola's wild fever dream featuring so much blood, sex, and religious iconography that we are terrified to think about what would happen if our parent's had ever found out we wanted to see this movie. This one slipped under the radar. It was always one we wanted to see, but had no idea how many forbidden elements would be present. This movie is a mess, but su...
Forbidden Cinema 103 - Scream - Going Deeper
October 22, 2023 22:32 - 1 hour - 75.5 MBJoin us as we answer the questions that nobody ever thought to ask about Scream. We answer the things that came up in our full episode covering the 1996 horror / slasher classic, Scream. This movie revitalized a genre, and showed studios that teens were a valid audience. Come along as 2 church youth group kids grow up, get married, and watch all of the things our parent's wouldn't let us watch. This week we realize that Neve Campbell is a 3 time guest on our show. We try to figure out...
Forbidden Cinema - 102 - Scream
October 16, 2023 03:20 - 1 hour - 125 MBWelcome to spooky season in 2023 and welcome back to winter of 1996 as we look at the film that revolutionized horror and slasher films, Scream. We take a look at the movie that was on Zack's top 10 for all time wanted to see but couldn't. We talk about longing and nostalgia. We look back at the time and welcome Queen Neve Campbell to the 3 timers club along with Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas. In 100 years, we would not have predicted she would get in so early. Wes Craven comes back ...
Forbidden Cinema 102 - Jade - Going Deeper
October 10, 2023 13:24 - 1 hour - 93.2 MBWelcome back, This week we answer the questions nobody thought to ask about our coverage of Jade. Zack dives deep on this one. We uncover a surprising link between this movie and Basic Instinct. We talk about the box office and business of this critical and commercial flop. Zack gets disappointed when he realizes the "For Strippers Only" album in the iTunes library is research for a class Jenny is teaching, not a new career move. We go from an article about sex in cinema in 1995 to a P...
Forbidden Cinema 100 - Jade
September 25, 2023 04:18 - 2 hours - 134 MBAre you even joking right now. We just hit 100 episodes. It's time for our most requested episode ever, the 1995 Joe Esterhas / William Freidkin collaboration with the guy from NYPD Blue, the femme fatale from The Last Seduction, and that guy from The Sopranos who has the awesome restaurant who I think did A Bronx Tale. We hit up the least erotic and least thrilling erotic thriller of the 90s. This thing is a train wreck, but we had so much fun. Come along as we spend more than 2 hours ...
Forbidden Cinema 99 - True Lies - Going Deeper
September 11, 2023 03:19 - 53 minutes - 60.3 MBJoin us as we deep dive the behind the scenes of True Lies. There are Oscar winners besides Dame Jamie Lee. We discover that Tom Arnold isn't as trash as we originally assumed. This was the most expensive move ever made and is high on the list of the top grossing R rated films ever, but didn't make all that much money. We also deep dive Dame Tia Carrere's 36yo newly single mother of 2 appearance in Playboy in 2003. There are some wild things that happen, but nothing as crazy as the surv...
Forbidden Cinema 98 - True Lies
September 05, 2023 01:28 - 1 hour - 108 MBWe are back and we are talking about True Lies. Welcome to the podcast, Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold. How have we made it to 98 episodes without either of you getting on board. Both of you will be back... see what I did there. Jenny and Zack are a married couple who grew up in the most conservative purity culture church around and are now unpacking what that meant by watching the movies that were forbidden in our childhood (hint, Zack's parent's took him and his friends to see this for hi...
Forbidden Cinema 97 - Cruel Intentions - Going Deeper
August 22, 2023 02:38 - 1 hour - 69.2 MBWelcome back to our first deeper dive into the history and time behind Cruel Intentions. It's been a while since we have done a Going Deeper episode. Zack has got his research hat back on and Jenny has been drinking Rose. Come along as we talk about the 2 adaptations of Les Liaisons Dangerous that were released back to back in the 80s. Zack was today years old when he realized Cyrano de Bergerac was a real person. It's almost like next week you are going to tell me that Toulouse Lautrec...
Forbidden Cinema 96 - Cruel Intentions
August 14, 2023 04:33 - 1 hour - 88.1 MB'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony that's life... sucker love is heaven sent..." Holy 1780's erotica Batman, we just did Cruel Intentions. Zack loved this movie so much he owns most of the wardrobe from the filming. Jenny is vaguely aware of it. Come along with us as we dive back in 24 years later and see if it holds up. Spoiler alert... some of this is problematic at best, but there are some beautiful people doing wild things, and that is what Forbidden Cinema is all about.
Forbidden Cinema 95 -Red Shoe Diaries The Movie
August 02, 2023 01:47 - 1 hour - 92.9 MBBuckle up, folks, this is going to be a long one. Zack and Jenny return to the world of feature length films after our season of TV shows. And boy do we do it with a bang! This is where it all started. This made for Showtime pilot walked so that Sex and the City, The Sopranos, and Game of Thrones could fly. Join us as we discuss all of the dick grabbing techniques in play. We get to see our favorite mopey David Duchovny's awesome dog Stella. We get one of the dirtiest players from A...

July 24, 2023 05:49 - 50 minutes - 56.4 MBGod save the Queen of Dicks!!! Minx is back!!! Pandemics, network changes, and buyouts couldn't kill this show. We are back to recap the last season and move forward into the next.
Forbidden Cinema 93 - Red Shoe Diaries - How I Met My Husband
July 18, 2023 01:58 - 35 minutes - 39.7 MBOk, here it is. We have finished Season 1. It is back to standard def if we want to watch any more. Come back with us to the Ramada Inn for a Dominatrix workshop. Our protagonist surprises the staff with her whipping technique and craziness ensues. This one is quick and to the point. We have figured out a formula and now we are running with it. We have Indiana Jones whip sounds. We get to see yet another lightbulb striptease, but this time of a man. We get a new kind of therapy sess...
Forbidden Cinema 92 - Red Shoe Diaries - Double or Nothing
June 19, 2023 23:57 - 51 minutes - 57.1 MBWe are almost at the end of our journey through the first season of this groundbreaking show. This one has it all. Two pool hustlers find each other and go on a journey of self discovery, shouting at each other, overly intense power games, and steamy sex. This episode has biker bars in the middle of the day, pool contests at a strip club, apartments that are way too nice for the jobs people have, dirty water alley sex, and so many 90s outfits. Also, this has Paula Barbieri in it. If you...
Forbidden Cinema 91 - Red Shoe Diaries - Weekend Pass
June 07, 2023 00:52 - 39 minutes - 45.6 MBHey everybody, we are rounding the corner and coming to the end of our dive into the 1992 first season of everybody's favorite ladies cable erotica show starring Mulder and Joey. This episode is wild... Four badass soldier ladies have the weekend off from armying and go to a dive bar in ball gowns and things go off the rails... Is this the origin story of the Nashville bachelorette party? This episode features motorcycle bullfighting, irresponsible playful assault rifle use during sex, so...
Forbidden Cinema 90 - Red Shoe Diaries - The Bounty Hunter
May 23, 2023 00:12 - 37 minutes - 42.1 MBWe are almost done with the first season of the 1992 Showtime erotica series, The Red Shoe Diaries. David Duchovny and his trusty dog Stella have taken us on a journey through the secret desires of women in the early 90s. It has been a blast! This episode we have some action, some guns, some knives, a lot of handcuffs, bad guys straight from the dust bowl, a Matrix lady in a power suit, lots of pie, more cigarettes than the entire series so far, several shots of both a quarters and a juke...
Forbidden Cinema 89 - Red Shoe Diaries - Accidents Happen
May 15, 2023 22:23 - 52 minutes - 58.7 MBJoin us as we head down the home stretch on covering the early 90's cable erotica series for women, Red Shoe Diaries. Zack and Jenny are a married couple who grew up in conservative youth group together and watch things that were not allowed in our youth. This podcast is dedicated to nostalgia, film history, a peak behind the forbidden curtain, and a healthy dose of retrospection. Guys... Welcome to the podcast Dame Ally Sheedy!!! That's right, she is in this episode. Stop what you are ...
Forbidden Cinema 88 - Red Shoe Diaries - Jake’s Story
May 08, 2023 02:44 - 54 minutes - 62.4 MBOk guys, here is the one that Jenny wanted. We finally get to Jake's story. We finally figure out who he is and what makes him tick. Record scratch---- nope, that is the movie. Jenny is pissed. In this episode we get to see David Duchovny actually interact in the narrative. He has his own Red Shoe Diary.
Forbidden Cinema 87 - Red Shoe Diaries - Auto Erotica
April 25, 2023 01:57 - 35 minutes - 41.2 MB"I live my life a quarter mile at a time" We are finally their. We just hit the highest rated episode of the early 90's Showtime erotica series, Red Shoe Diaries. Talk about things we were not allowed to see as kids. This is full of fast cars, insane Tony Scott level editing, sex, speed, and power plays. As usual, Jenny finds the whole thing a bit ridiculous, and Zack is along for the ride. This episode is fast and furious, famiglia. In other news, Minx is back. Get Starz and binge i...
Forbidden Cinema 86 - Red Shoe Diaries - Another Woman’s Lipstick
April 17, 2023 00:37 - 40 minutes - 47.6 MBThanks for coming along on this journey through early 90s cable erotica with us. This week we take on the episode, Another Woman's Lipstick. Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride. We have got lipstick stains, more of Zalman King's women-with-a-moustache cliché, and a wild dance with a full on floor lamp. We watch the things that were forbidden in our conservative childhoods and teenage years and comment on them now. We had so much fun with a single episode, we are doing the whole serie...
Forbidden Cinema 85 - Red Shoe Diaries - Just Like That
April 09, 2023 11:00 - 40 minutes - 47.6 MBGuys... Joey is in this one. That's right, welcome to the podcast Matt Leblanc. We are assured he is a loyal listener, but this time he is in the show we are watching. We simply can't imagine what it must have been like to be him or David Duchovney at this time. Both were making cable erotica for ladies but were just about to achieve superstardom. This was a fun one. There were bike messengers, rich guys, flowers, elevator sex, and more. Come along as we continue our underwear rippin...
Forbidden Cinema 84 - Red Shoe Diaries - Talk to Me, Baby
March 26, 2023 10:00 - 38 minutes - 43.1 MBOk, guys, this show has redeemed itself with this episode. We were on board, and then last week really turned us off. We open in a dive bar on a wet t-shirt contest, hop in a super 90s muscle car, and then listen to 30 minutes of a guy in a mullet try to convince a woman to love him without stopping so long as to take a breath. Stay with us, here. This sounds ridiculous, but somehow they manage to make it work. Fire up Tubi, watch this episode, and come on the journey with us. Everyone...
Forbidden Cinema 83 - Red Shoe Diaries - The Right to Remain Silent
March 19, 2023 17:24 - 41 minutes - 46.6 MBWhoa boy... here we go... buckle up and pull over, people (wait does that even make sense, why bother buckling up if you are pulling over, oh well). Guys we are venturing in the the sexy, erotic themes of police misconduct??? This thing is wild and has aged... poorly. This episode stars Denise Crosby of Star Trek TNG fame as a police officer who names off every male body part imaginable for 5 minutes and then kidnaps and assaults a guy because he doesn't notice her. Join us for some ex...
Forbidden Cinema 82 - Red Shoe Diaries - Safe Sex
March 06, 2023 00:43 - 1 hour - 89.5 MBWe had so much "fun" watching an episode of Red Shoe Diaries for our last episode that we decided to spend a quick mini-season watching this early 90s erotic anthology show hosted by David Duchovny at the same time he was making the X-Files. How are those words even a thing. Join us as we watch the first episode, Safe Sex, which starts out as a second draft of 9 1/2 Weeks and then just gets weird. Laughs abound, there are tears on screen, and Zack gets a little hot under the collar.
Forbidden Cinema 81 - Red Shoe Diaries - s1e02 Double Dare
February 27, 2023 02:18 - 38 minutes - 43 MBAlright people, it is time to get 90s horny. That's right, Zack just left streaming on upstairs and the algorithm decided that we should watch Red Shoe Diaries. Did we mention that David Duchovny was in 6 seasons of this weekly erotica show at the same time he was in the X-Files. That is a thing that happened. Get ready for sexy fax machines, ladies starting to wear black underwear, lots of pearls, the freaking Mummy!, sax music, and Stella who is such a good girl. Do yourself a favor. ...
Forbidden Cinema 80 - Vacation - Going Deeper
February 12, 2023 22:28 - 1 hour - 70.7 MBWelcome back as we look at the questions nobody thought to ask about National Lampoon's Vacation. We find out more about the careers of the child actors that I could ever have imagined. BDA's (Beverly D'Angelo) history is so much more interesting than we would have figured. And we hit tangents on everything from Conan the Barbarian to Mr Mom.
Forbidden Cinema 79 - National Lampoon’s Vacation
January 31, 2023 03:15 - 1 hour - 79 MBPull over, folks... Zack has never seen this movie. We watched the original Vacation from back in 1983. Hold on, this movie has 80s racism, jokes about gun violence, animal cruelty, policing in need of reform, a lady we know only as a classic holiday film mom whipping her boobs out, cigarette machines, Harold Ramis as the voice of a moose, Anthony Michael Hall, Chevy Chase being mostly likable, a custom car build to be specifically ugly American, and a variety of roadside set pieces all ac...
Forbidden Cinema 78 - 2022 Year in Review
January 22, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 83.1 MBGreetings everyone. Sorry for the silence for a few weeks. We hope your holidays were amazing, but if they were a nightmare like ours, we feel for you. Ours were full of overwork, family drama, sick pets, and another round of COVID-19. Nowhere to go but up from here. Join us as we recap the questions no one thought to ask on Gremlins and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. We wrap up 2022 and look forward to a better 2023.
Forbidden Cinema 77 - Gremlins
January 01, 2023 19:15 - 1 hour - 82.4 MBWelcome to our Holiday Season kickoff episode that is dropping on New Years. It is amazing how optimistic we are about how our work, life, and families are not going to be a living nightmare. Well, that didn't happen. Anyhoo, come back with us to 1984 as we watch and discuss the Spielburg, Collumbus, Dante collaboration, Gremlins. This movie brings Zack back to so many specific places and times, but it is the first time Jenny has ever seen it. Join us as we talk about this classic smal...
