Forbidden Cinema 76 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles

December 05, 2022 04:36 - 1 hour - 79 MB

Welcome to the holiday season.  We start off with the only Thanksgiving banger, Planes, Trains and Automobiles...  yes we all noticed the missing comma.  Welcome Steve Martin, John Candy, and John Hughes to the podcast.  This week we discuss the movie that was not so much forbidden as told, you wouldn't like it. We talk about how much as adults we absolutely loved this classic and can't wait to get deeper on it.

Forbidden Cinema 75 - Ghost - Going Deeper

December 03, 2022 22:06 - 1 hour - 80.4 MB

Welcome back to Going Deeper.  This week we take a look at the questions nobody thought to ask on the 1990 film, Ghost.  We look into the people involved in making it and discover it was one of the biggest movie hits of all time at the box office when it was released.  We also look into newspapers and magazines from around when the movie came out to get a feel of what the world was like. Tangents in this episode include converting the $80,000 that cost Swayze his life into Cryptocurrency, m...

Forbidden Cinema 74 - Ghost

November 21, 2022 06:06 - 1 hour - 111 MB

Spooky season is officially over for the year.  We have decided on a palate cleanser before we get into the holidays.  As a nod to our recent trip to New Orleans and the multiple ghost encounters we have decided to go back to 1990 for the blockbuster film, Ghost.  Patrick Swayze is at his shirtless best and Demi Moore joins Michael Douglas and Madonna in the Three Timers Club on our podcast.  Have we mentioned the pottery wheel scene yet... whew... sexier than we even remember. This movie r...

Forbidden Cinema 73 - Interview with a Vampire - Going Deeper

November 11, 2022 23:16 - 1 hour - 76.3 MB

We are back from our spooky New Orleans Halloween trip and ready to answer the questions that nobody thought to ask while watching Interview with a Vampire from 1994.  We look at the culture and the box office of the day to see where this fit in.  It turns out this episode is actually dropping on the 28th anniversary of this film hitting theaters, Happy Birthday!!! Diversions and tangents abound.  Some of my favorites are Zack and his vampire contacts, trying to remember Jenny's quote "tits...

Forbidden Cinema 72 - Fright Night (Bonus)

November 02, 2022 16:38 - 1 hour - 98.8 MB

Welcome to our spooky season wrap up.  For this week we look at the movie that is Jenny's first forbidden experience.  We wonder what our parents were up to during these times.  We spend a lot of time talking about who the intended audience was for this movie and about the time of the mid 80s where we have lived for a while now.  Welcome to the podcast Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowell, 2 actors Zack loves but probably won't show up all that much on our forbidden lists.  This one is a lot of...

Forbidden Cinema 71 - Interview with a Vampire

October 23, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 96.1 MB

Join us in October as we prepare for Halloween.  This week we take a look at a classic that Zack remembers from being on a tape with a Batman Forever.  We take a look at the nostalgia of having 3 movies on a tape that had nothing to do with each other.  We remember rewinding and checking to see where we were on the VHS and coming upon something we were not meant to see. The Forbidden Cinema journey is about excitement and longing and the sheer rush that comes with stumbling across something...

Forbidden Cinema 70 - Angel Heart - Going Deeper

October 14, 2022 21:36 - 58 minutes - 65.2 MB

Brace yourself as the Zack and Jenny tackle the questions nobody thought to ask in the  1987 supernatural thriller Angel Heart.   Zack crunches the numbers of movie rentals to decide if this thing made back it's budget.  We also look at the top grossing films of 1987 and wowza what a curve ball.  Coming off a year when Top Gun and Crocodile Dundee(not a typo) battled neck and neck for the top spot, this year came out of nowhere. We find the original serialized story in the podcast's favori...

Forbidden Cinema 69 - Angel Heart

October 03, 2022 21:32 - 1 hour - 107 MB

"Sixty Nine, Dudes!" Can you believe we have made it this many episodes.  This week we start Spooky Season 2022 off with a bang with the 1987 flick, Angel Heart.  This movie stars Mickey Rourke and features a fresh off The Cosby Show Lisa Bonet.  Also Robert Deniro is in this for only a small role, but steals the entire movie. This thing has it all.  There are gruesome killings, steamy sex, trippy religious hallucinations, spooky nuns, voodoo, New Orleans, Harlem in the 50s, so much smokin...

Forbidden Cinema 68 - 9 1/2 Weeks - Going Deeper

September 20, 2022 02:41 - 1 hour - 98.1 MB

Welcome back to the fold.   Soooooo... Zack bought a first edition of the book and has read it since the last episode.  We go into the differences and look at the making of the film.  Did you know "You Can Leave Your Hat On" was not a stripping song before this movie.  News to us. As always we look at news media of the time.  Did you know Joan Rivers was a late night host?  This is wild.  We also do our weekly deep dive into a Playboy magazine of the era.  We manage to get through an entir...

Forbidden Cinema 67 - Nine 1/2 Weeks

September 12, 2022 04:13 - 1 hour - 111 MB

Whoah, buckle in folks, this one is going to be a doozy.  This week we tackle the 1986 erotic drama, 9 1/2 Weeks.  Content warning, this one has some coercive control and consent evocative of almost 40 years ago. That being said, welcome to the podcast to Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger.  There is some icky and sticky stuff happening, but these two heat up the screen with sex appeal and chemistry.  And have we mentioned the costuming and the soundtrack, yes please.  Oh yeah, Christine Barans...

Forbidden Cinema 66- Body Heat - Going Deeper

September 06, 2022 22:53 - 1 hour - 86 MB

Join us and Zack answers the questions nobody thought to ask about 1981's steamy thriller, Body Heat.  We try to figure out who this JA Preston guy is and should we know him.  Tangentially from there we figure out that Kim Zimmer "Mary Ann Simpson" has been in almost 2500 episodes of TV entertainment.  We hit the career of Ted Danson and the unusual slow burn that was Cheers. We take a trip down Forbidden Cinema True Crime Lane discussing the history of forensics and whether it would matter...

Forbidden Cinema 65 - Body Heat

August 29, 2022 02:22 - 1 hour - 99.4 MB

Go watch this movie.  Spoiler Alert.  You want to watch this before listening.  There aren't many movies we have done on this podcast that we recommend more than this. Come back to 1981 with Zack and Jenny as we watch the origin of the Erotic Thriller and the Neo Noir genre all in one.  Kathleen Turner and William Hurt steam the place up and things get murdery.  Oh, did we mention Ted Danson is turning in an Oscar caliber supporting performance.  And heads up, this thing is written and dire...

Forbidden Cinema 64 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - Going Deeper

August 22, 2022 01:47 - 1 hour - 70.4 MB

Join your hosts as we go deeper on the questions nobody wanted answered on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.  Zack reaches his hand into the dark, insect ridden hole of the internet, pulls the lever, and figures out what opens up. This week we try to figure out what the world was like in the 80 days between this movie and the first PG-13 movie ever to be released.  We find out that the Iran-Contra affair is just starting.  Zack realizes that he finds Joan Collins, Julie Andrews, and the...

Forbidden Cinema 63 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

August 16, 2022 01:49 - 1 hour - 103 MB

Gather around children.  Today we are watching the gross-fest that Jenny's parents kept out of the house.  Zack first saw this when he was 8 and didn't know any other Indiana Jones until much later.  This was a film so violent that it basically led to the creation of the PG-13 rating.  Watching back, Zack goes back to being a little boy again and Jenny just kind of sighs at the gross stuff. If you don't hear from us next week, it is because Zack tried to whip-swing off the roof.  Also, Jenn...

Forbidden Cinema 62 - Ghostbusters, Die Hard, and more...

August 08, 2022 00:01 - 1 hour - 80.2 MB

Welcome to the first Forbidden Cinema Lightning Round.   We are back from Mexico and have finished binging How to Build a Sex Room.  It occurs to us that there are many movies that may be problematic or forbidden, but we have watched them so often as adults that we may not be able to truly view them with a fresh eye.  Not wanting to eliminate them completely we decided to do a 10 minute lightning round on each.  Join us as we hit the forbidden and nostalgic elements of the films: 1. Ghostb...

Forbidden Cinema 61 - How to Build a Sex Room 2

July 25, 2022 04:14 - 1 hour - 90.7 MB

Here.  We.  Go.   In this episode we finish How to Build a Sex Room.  We talk about how to relate to our friends who are swingers, apparently.  We discuss the ethics of polyamory and why only the women of color get stripper poles.      

Forbidden Cinema 60 - How to Build a Sex Room 1

July 18, 2022 00:09 - 1 hour - 70.4 MB

Ok guys, if you haven't started binging Netflix's new hit show How to Build a Sex Room, you should stop right now and go do it.  When you are done with the first couple episodes, come on back and let's unpack it. While it is a bit of a departure from movies we couldn't watch as children, we are enjoying going on these detours to cover fun, sexy, entertainment for adults. Join Melanie (or Maggie as Zack can't figure out) Rose and Mike as they restrain the home improvement show genre and spa...

Forbidden Cinema 59 - Madonna Truth or Dare - Going Deeper

July 15, 2022 18:37 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

***We spend several minutes talking true crime style about Paul Dennis Reid's spree killing that affected us greatly when we were growing up.  If this is a trigger for you you can skip ahead to about 30 minutes when we get there***   This is the week the podcast goes off the rails. It's been a weird couple of weeks, guys. This week we delve deeper into Madonna's Truth or Dare, but get really sidetracked.  We go from antiretroviral treatment of HIV to the Tony Scott / Kiera Knightly vehic...

Forbidden Cinema 58 - Madonna Truth or Dare

July 03, 2022 16:25 - 1 hour - 94 MB

Madonna... is... amazing... Why were we not just a little older when this happened?  We feel like we know that Madonna was a popular singer in the 80s and 90s, but had no idea about how fabulous this tour actually was. Come with us as we view our first concert film.  We get to see a lot of people in their early 20's being really terrible to each other in black and white and then... Boom... Brilliant color footage of Madonna rocking stadiums, night after night, for months.  

Forbidden Cinema 57 - Dick Tracy - Going Deeper

June 26, 2022 21:39 - 1 hour - 77.3 MB

Welcome back to Forbidden Cinema.  On our going deeper episodes, Zack goes into deep research mode to find the answers to questions you never thought to ask.  Sometimes the answers are fascinating.  Sometimes they are so horrifying that you wish we hadn't bothered. This week we look start to look at the career of Warren Beatty, but get distracted by how many famous lady's he had affairs with.  Then we look at the rights and box office, and everybody's gets dizzy so we move on.   We get dis...

Forbidden Cinema 56 - Dick Tracy

June 13, 2022 02:36 - 1 hour - 120 MB

Join us as we wrap up our "What were they thinking" series looking at movies with which our parent's had no objections, but had content that looking back seems a little crazy.  This week we looked at Warren Beatty's 1990 passion project, Dick Tracy. This is a movie Zack saw at the drive-in theater.  We have trading cards and movie props from the film in our collection.  This movie was so dark that they took the Disney name off of it, and put it in the newly formed Touchstone Pictures instea...

Forbidden Cinema 55 - Tremors - Going Deeper

June 01, 2022 02:46 - 1 hour - 76.3 MB

Engineering school time!!! Zack takes Kevin Bacon's hair length and nudity and tries to determine if there is a statistically significant correlation.  There are graphs.  You should probably check social media, I don't think this translates very well in audio.  Zack also calculates the number of animals required for a stampede.  The best thing about science is it has to give you an answer.  If you decide a formula is credible, you can put all sorts of numbers in, and science has to give yo...

Forbidden Cinema 54 - Tremors

May 16, 2022 04:03 - 1 hour - 97.7 MB

This week the forbidden couple take a time out from their "What were our parents thinking" series to pay homage to the great Fred Ward.  We dig into a film that was a staple of Jenny's adolescence, but was completely forbidden from Zack.  This is a movie that Zack can specifically remember the moment in which it was turned off by his aunt. We watched the 1990 film, Tremors.  Come along with us as we watch Fred Ward, Kevin Bacon, and the Dad from Family Ties fight a bunch of under-ground mot...

Forbidden Cinema 54 - Speed - Going Deeper

May 08, 2022 22:00 - 1 hour - 89.1 MB

Welcome back to Forbidden Cinema.  This week we go deeper on the 1994 action film, Speed.  We figure out the Keanu timeline, try to place his accent, and try to figure out why Sad Keanu is so sad and how to make him happy again.  Showgirls, Dolly Parton, and Alice Cooper all show up in some form or another.  We discuss briefly the tragic story of River Phoenix. We mythbust the crap out of some of the physics of this film.  We also are able to find detailed specs for both the cars and the gu...

Forbidden Cinema 52 - Speed

May 03, 2022 03:13 - 1 hour - 107 MB

Pop Quiz - What were our parents thinking.  Zack's parent's turned off Spaceballs and Jenny's family turned off A Knight's Tale, but both of us were completely allowed unlimited viewing of Speed when we were 13-14 years old.  We start a short series about movies our parents were completely ok with, but we wonder if they should have been forbidden. In this series we talk about nostalgia and how it feels to be "getting away with something" when your parents relent and let you check out someth...

Forbidden Cinema 51 - Showgirls - Going Deeper

April 24, 2022 22:51 - 1 hour - 69.6 MB

We end our year with a bang going deeper on Showgirls.  Join us as we do extra credit and watch You Don't Nomi and try to figure out if this movie was better than our first impressions.   Zack spends a lot of time looking at the history and physical demands of being a showgirl.  Zack spends too much time looking into bananas strip club laws around the country.  Zack spends way too much time looking up current pubic barbering trends and the risks associated with them. We talk about the sad ...

Forbidden Cinema 50 - Showgirls

April 18, 2022 03:57 - 1 hour - 122 MB

For our 50th episode join the hosts as we tackle our most requested, and probably the most forbidden of the 90s.  Guys, this thing is wild.  If you had asked me what this was before I saw it, I would have said the guys who made Basic Instinct got back together with a lot of drugs and hired the girl from Saved By The Bell to spend 1/3 of the movie nude in a spectacle of flesh and grit/glam of Vegas.  I think that is exactly what we got, but we aren't quite sure if that is what we needed. Joi...

Forbidden Cinema 49 - Weekend at Bernie’s - Going Deeper

April 10, 2022 14:24 - 50 minutes - 59.9 MB

Join us as we break down all the unanswered questions from our discussion on Weekend at Bernie's.  We take time to try to understand the reviews, box office, and reason for a sequel for this move.  We discuss but don't really get to a finishing point on why this movie is so poorly reviewed, only a modest financial success, but has entered into the lexicon to where everybody knows the premise. We take some time going deeper on the careers of Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman.  Zack acci...

Forbidden Cinema 48 - Weekend at Bernie’s

April 04, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 83.5 MB

Welcome back to Forbidden Cinema, Spring Break Edition.  This week we tackle Weekend at Bernie's from 1989.  This is a movie that Zack saw in his friend's rec room at 10 or 11 years old, had on VHS, and spent many hours hoping his parent's never took the time to watch it to see what was in it.  This is one of those PG-13 movies from the 80s with content not catering to children, but jokes that nobody with a fully formed brain would not find funny.  But underneath that is one of the best dead...

MinxOnMax Going Deeper - Episode 2

March 31, 2022 23:56 - 46 minutes - 54.5 MB

We are dropping this in the main feed because Apple is taking a bit.   We go deeper on Episode 2 - Au revoir, le double dong of HBO Max's Minx.  Off to the country club for some hijinks with the Bottom Dollar crew.  Come along with us as we get lost in this fantastic 70s dream of erotica for ladies.

MinxOnMax Going Deeper - Episode 1

March 29, 2022 02:53 - 55 minutes - 63.9 MB

Minx has landed on HBO Max and it is awesome. Join your hosts as we branch off in an entirely new direction.  We have spent the last year podcasting about movies our parent's wouldn't let us watch and Zack has been elbows deep in explicit print journalism from the 70s, 80s, and beyond.  In the midst of all of this, HBO Max releases a new show about a new erotic magazine from women in the 70s... and it has Nick Miller in it. We are there.  We watched the first episode and are hooked.  We ar...

Forbidden Cinema 47 - The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas - Going Deeper

March 27, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 68.9 MB

Here we go.  Guys, the Chicken Ranch was real.  This whole thing is based on a true story.  Zack buys the books, reads the newspapers from the time, and finds local news coverage from the time.  The true story is almost crazier than the musical.  All the wondering we did about why Dom Delouise didn't get his comeuppance is finally answered.  He is based on a real person who became a local legend after this story. This has been one of our favorite surprises in our journey and we hope you com...

Forbidden Cinema 46 - The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

March 20, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 73.6 MB

"Have you ever just been reading Playboy magazine from the mid-80's and saw a picture from a movie and thought let's go watch that and had this much fun?" We watched The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.  This thing is an R Rated musical.  We knew Burt Reynolds would show up eventually, but I don't think that this is how we assumed.  Also, have we mentioned that St Dolly Parton is in this thing.  We shouldn't have to say more, but we go on for a bit.  We talk about Zack getting busted cussin...

Forbidden Cinema 45 - Porky’s - Going Deeper

March 13, 2022 06:00 - 36 minutes - 43.3 MB

This week we look back at the unanswered questions from our discussion of the 1981/82 film Porky's.  Zack goes a little funny trying to figure out where the fictional town of Angel Falls really is and where Porky's would have to be located in order for the geography all to work out.  This is a tough one, because most of the questions we asked had really simple answers that didn't lead down deep dark holes of the internet.  Spoiler Alert, the fact of the podcast for the last couple of weeks i...

Forbidden Cinema 44 - Porky’s

March 06, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 88.5 MB

Wow...  This one...  Things are different 40 years later.  In this episode we look back at a film that Zack turned off on basic cable because he was afraid it was too dirty.  This is a film that was a huge commercial success that basically made A Christmas Story able to happen.  It is racist, homophobic, and has a view on women that would have been outdated even in it's setting.  But it also made Zack almost fall off the couch laughing.  This is the birth of the teen sex comedy and is influe...

Forbidden Cinema 43 - Fatal Attraction - Going Deeper

February 27, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MB

Buckle in people, we are all over the place in this one.  We start off detouring into our Valentine's Day date at the Forbidden Ballet.  We talk about the history of filmmaker, Adrian Lyne (the first 2 time director on our list, but we will see him again).  We talk about the year's awards season and Jenny can't figure out the difference between Empire in the Sun and The Last Emperor.  Zack deep dives etiquette manuals to try to figure out the right way to eat spaghetti.  We discuss the poten...

Forbidden Cinema 42 - Fatal Attraction

February 21, 2022 00:51 - 1 hour - 90.4 MB

We return once again to 1987 and to Michael Douglas as we evaluate Fatal Attraction for this Valentine's Day Week.  We go deep on Donald Ducking Douglas and some of his fashion choices.  We spend an inordinate amount of time talking about how good of a boy Quincy the Dog is and how scared we are for his well being.  We divert into the best high school lunch trade and talk about times where something big happened when we were somewhere we weren't supposed to be.  We compare the D grabbing tec...

Forbidden Cinema - 41 - Adventures in Babysitting - Going Deeper

February 13, 2022 00:41 - 45 minutes - 54 MB

Welcome back to Going Deeper with your Forbidden Cinema crew.  Today Zack gets into the weeds looking at the careers of some of the minor cast members of the film.  We actually find some opinions on diverse representation in the film from the time it was released.  Zack goes crazy deep looking at the career of the Crystals and our favorite wacky murder producer Phil Spector.  We also look at some of the filming locations and uncover the fantastically seedy history of The Silver Dollar Room.

Forbidden Cinema 40 - Adventures in Babysitting

February 05, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MB

Come back with us to 1987 where an early example of the PG-13 movie first introduced a generation of children to the concept of men's magazines and a certain word starting with the letter F.  We look back at how the world has changed in the time since the release and continue our path of nostalgia.  We try to figure out who this movie was really for and what a 17 year old would reasonably be able to handle in a wacky night.  We once again experience the trope of criminals escalating to mass ...

Forbidden Cinema 39 - Pretty Woman - Going Deeper

January 23, 2022 06:00 - 59 minutes - 69 MB

Join us as we go deeper on the Class of 1990 Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Who made the cut and who got a trading card?  We go deep on Julia Robert's butt double and George from Seinfeld being a creeper.  We discuss the tragic life of Carole Lombard and the wild history of the Lotus Esprit.  We look at obscure 5th century Sanscrit plays and also spend some time on the tragic life of John Ritter.

Forbidden Cinema 38 - Pretty Woman

January 16, 2022 20:37 - 1 hour - 80.6 MB

Hold on to your thigh high boots, it's time to dive into Pretty Woman.  Join us as we go all the way back to 1990  and discuss Jenny's clandestine viewing of this classic romantic comedy.  We wonder how George from Seinfeld ever recovered from being such a sleaze and this.  If you have been spending your entire life wanting someone to do a detailed comparison between the junk grabbing techniques of Julia Roberts and Madonna, fret no more, we have done the work for you.  Boy, my targeted adds...

Forbidden Cinema 37 - Body of Evidence - Going Deeper

January 09, 2022 23:42 - 1 hour - 89.6 MB

Brace yourselves, we go too deep in this one.  Zack has all the sales numbers for Madonna's Sex book and describes it staring at him on the bookshelves for months.  We throw down the gauntlet and challenge the Razzies.  We find out that the writer of this movie also wrote the #2 movie on Zack's forbidden pantheon.  Zack tries to translate a 9th century Persian medical text to find out if you can snort peony root to calm your superpowered vagina.  We explore the lore of Willem Dafoe's member ...

Forbidden Cinema 36 - Body of Evidence

January 02, 2022 06:00 - 1 hour - 83.1 MB

Join us as we go back to the very beginning of this podcast.  We go into the genre that we were aware of, but was completely banished from our homes as children.  Double whammy, this one also has Madonna who was also not allowed in our homes growing up.  We saw the movie Body of Evidence, or should it be called Body the Murder Weapon.  Guys, this is a court procedural about a woman literally being accused of murdering a rich older man through sex.  This was not a good movie, but we had such ...

Forbidden Cinema 35 - Christmas Vacation - Going Deeper

December 26, 2021 23:42 - 52 minutes - 62.4 MB

The holidays are over and hopefully we all survived.  We went deeper than should be expected on Christmas Vacation.  We as the question, "Who is National Lampoon?"  We talk about family gatherings, action figures, and 8mm porno.  We talk about how ubiquitous racist depictions of AAPI are in holiday movies an how happy we are that this didn't have them... then we read the source material... frowny face...  We take on squatters rights and bring the legislature of our home state to task for hav...

Forbidden Cinema 34 - Christmas Vacation

December 19, 2021 20:31 - 1 hour - 82 MB

Welcome to the nuthouse, we watched Christmas Vacation to get in the holiday mood.  Join us as we look back and ponder how this fits into the established Vacation cannon.  We ponder the little things, little things, like you.  We skewer Santa and talk about the porno section of the local video store.  We rent movies from the library long before that was a thing.  Zack admits to past crimes and details the story of his Christmas house fire.  Zack also makes a dire prediction that only Jenny's...

Forbidden Cinema 33 - Scrooged - Going Deeper

December 12, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 85.5 MB

Join us as we go back to 1988 and go deeper on our unanswered questions from Scrooged.  We try to figure out why Jenny's mom dislikes Bill Murray so much and go on a tangent about his random late night calls to writer Mitch Glazer.  We take a look at the wacky budget for this film compared to others of the time.  Zack finds an internal memo about the amount of service calls that Xerox attributes to butt copying.  We look at the time of 1988, the end of the Reagan years.  We look at the music...

Forbidden Cinema 32 - Scrooged

December 05, 2021 18:37 - 1 hour - 93.3 MB

Grab some eggnog and get into the holiday spirit.  We saw Scrooged, a film that was completely off the radar at Jenny's due to her mom's heeby-jeebies about Bill Murray and kept of the table by Zack's parents because of nipples.  We unpack this thing and go for longer than ususal.  We talk, we tangent, we wonder, and we just generally try to get into that holiday spirit early this year.  Happy Holidays everyone.

Forbidden Cinema 31 - Batman Returns - Going Deeper

November 28, 2021 06:00 - 53 minutes - 64.6 MB

We are your reckoning, Batman.  Join us as we go deeper on the unanswered questions regarding our Batman Returns episode.  We try to find the line in the sand on who should not get a Happy Meal toy.  We go back to 1992 to determine if Zack could have seen this for his birthday in July and whether Bill Clinton was assaulting women on a national or local level at the time.  We go a little true crime discussing the police record of Paul Reubens and explore the tragic story of Miss November 1992...

Forbidden Cinema 30 - Batman Returns

November 21, 2021 21:29 - 1 hour - 82.1 MB

Join us as we talk about the movie that Jenny's mom straight walked the family out of at less than 3 minutes of watching.  We tackle the sexier than expected Tim Burton film Batman Returns.  Michael Keaton got rich doing this, Danny Devito got gross, I was a 13 year old boy who learned to spell Michelle Pfeiffer.  We get in to the wild physics and tone for this.  We One-der who in the world this was intended to please.  We also do a creepy amount of impressions.  We promise to stop if you do...

Forbidden Cinema 29 - Wild Things - GoingDeeper

November 14, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 79.2 MB

Join us as we talk about all the things we forgot and left unsaid in both Poltergeist and Wild Things.  We talk about the trope of the native burial ground.  Zack gets really confused when trying to figure out how to count fake boobs.  We go deep on advertisements for fragrances in 2004 Playboy.  Zack tries to call Playboy to order a chainmail dress featured in 2004 for Jenny.  Is the 800 number still valid.  Are we going to post pictures.  You have to listen to find out.
