June 12, 2019 03:09 - 59 minutes - 81.3 MBIn this post-Avengers, post-Batman vs. Superman world, the last thing Kari and Kyle expected was a superhero movie that actually feels original and weird and under the radar. With special guest Nate Bowers!

June 05, 2019 04:04 - 1 hour - 110 MBThis week, Kari and Kyle are joined by Thomas Davant to discuss "Oslo, August 31," a languid, plaintive Scandinavian drama about a recovering drug addict attempting to meet up with friends and land a job.
Episode 38: DARKEST HOUR Feat. John Marchetti
May 29, 2019 04:03 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBAs far as high-stress workplace situations go, it doesn't get much worse than having to figure out how to prevent literally Hitler from taking over your whole damn country in your first month on the job.

Episode 34: EVIL DEAD 2
October 24, 2018 03:33 - 59 minutes - 81.4 MBGonzo special effects, absurd physical comedy, and a breakneck energy throughout combine to make 1987's "Evil Dead 2" an incredibly weird and wild experience, but is it actually good? Yes. It's super good.

October 03, 2018 04:07 - 1 hour - 90 MBTo see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty."

Episode 23: JONAH - A VEGGIETALES MOVIE
April 12, 2018 11:55 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBYes folks, this week we're discussing the biblical epic, "Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie." It's the age-old parable of a man who refuses his duties to God and faces horrific fish-based punishment, as told by talking vegetable pirates.
Episode 22: BOOGIE NIGHTS
April 04, 2018 03:22 - 1 hour - 115 MBIt's an extra long episode of "K Have You Seen" to cover our longest movie yet: Paul Thomas Anderson's breakout hit, 1997's "Boogie Nights." Prurient subject matter collides with poignant humanity and grade-A filmmaking to create a weird, funny, and sad time capsule of the late 70s and early 80s.
Episode 21: UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN
March 28, 2018 12:36 - 57 minutes - 78.2 MBDoes the Italian countryside cure all that ails the soul? If you're a recently-divorced Diane Lane, the answer should be obvious. This week, we take a closer look at the 2003 Audrey Wells joint, "Under the Tuscan Sun."

Directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as the titular hero, this film follows an enthusiastic yet horribly untalented filmmaker as he makes friends, finds love, and wears the hell out of some angora sweaters on the road to creating his masterpiece.
Episode 19: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
March 14, 2018 04:17 - 58 minutes - 80.5 MBJoe Wright's faithful 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved 1813 novel is our topic for this week, ending a decades-long streak of Kyle avoiding knowing what this story was even about.
Episode 18: FORCE 10 FROM NAVARONE
March 07, 2018 06:20 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBThis forgotten classic from Kyle's youth features a wild cast led by a fresh-off-of-Star-Wars Harrison Ford and the legendary Robert Shaw in his last film, both playing WWII commandos fighting against all odds (and a super convoluted plot) to blow up bridges and kill those darn Nazis. Will Kari fall for the charms of this juvenile male war fantasy? LISTEN TO FIND OUT!
Episode 17: HELP!
February 28, 2018 03:14 - 1 hour - 77.7 MBHave you ever seen a Beatles movie? Neither had Kyle until Kari pulled this deep cut from 1965 (narrowly edging out last week's The Trouble With Angels as our oldest movie yet). Absurdist comedy mixes with the birth of the modern music video in "HELP!"
Episode 16: THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS Feat. Kelly Quindlen
February 20, 2018 23:07 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBNovelist Kelly Quindlen stops by the study to discuss one of her favorite movies, the 1966 Hayley Mills comedy "The Trouble with Angels." It's an interesting pick, because 1) neither Kari nor Kyle had ever heard of it, and 2)it features a cast of nearly all women, as well as being written and directed by women, a rather uncommon distinction especially for its day. Director Ida Lupino and stars Mills and Rosalind Russell combine wonderfully to create something really unique and special, a true...
Episode 14: THIS IS SPINAL TAP
February 15, 2018 03:36 - 1 hour - 78 MBThe seminal documentary/rockumentary/mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap" has gone from a modestly-successful cult classic to a full-fledged cultural meme machine since its release in 1984. The film has only become more relevant over the years for its uncanny satire of the issues, egos, and cliches that run rampant in the music industry. This week, Kari and Kyle oscillate wildly between thoughtfully examining the place of satire in our culture and quoting lines while giggling uncontrollably.
Episode 13: WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS
February 07, 2018 03:47 - 1 hour - 88.9 MBVampire movies and mockumentaries: two genres that have been played out to hell and back, and yet writer/director/star Taika Waititi manages to combine them into something fresh and unique here.
Episode 12: GOODFELLAS
January 31, 2018 03:08 - 1 hour - 78 MBThis week, Kari and Kyle tackle another modern classic (even though it's almost thirty years old at this point)
Episode 11: HAPPINESS
January 24, 2018 04:12 - 1 hour - 87.1 MBThis week, we discuss "Happiness," a dark comedy/drama that tackles some DEEPLY unpleasant subject matter. While not visually graphic, it's definitely not a film for the squeamish. Enjoy!
Episode 10: SHE'S THE MAN
January 17, 2018 04:45 - 1 hour - 77 MBWilliam Shakespeare meets Amanda Bynes (FINALLY)in this 2006 high school sports screwball romantic comedy.
Episode 9: THE KING OF KONG
January 09, 2018 23:48 - 1 hour - 90.6 MBA prime sports documentary about classic arcade gaming records, with a perfect narrative and characters... OR a messy, uninteresting slog with questionable journalistic ethics?
Episode 8: SINGIN IN THE RAIN
January 04, 2018 04:48 - 1 hour - 85.1 MBThis week, we discuss "Singing' In The Rain," an undisputed classic that Kyle somehow avoided seeing for his entire life. We get into some serious analysis of Gene Kelly's dance style and whether ANY of these songs have anything to do with the plot.
Episode 7: COLLATERAL
December 27, 2017 05:17 - 1 hour - 91.9 MBA legendary director teams up with two A-list actors (including a recent Oscar winner) on a totally original story, and the resulting movie is critically lauded... and forgotten almost immediately? Huh? Kyle and Kari revisit the semi-forgotten thriller from Michael Mann, Jamie Foxx, and Tom Cruise.
Episode 6.5: HOLIDAY SPECIAL (unrated)
December 20, 2017 04:37 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBHappy Holidays from K Have You Seen! This week, it's Christmas favorite versus Christmas favorite as we pit 2000's "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas" against 2003's "Bad Santa." Speaking of bad, this version of the episode contains all the usual profanity, ya filthy animals.
Episode 6: HOLIDAY SPECIAL (clean)
December 20, 2017 03:52 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBHappy Holidays from K Have You Seen! This week, it's Christmas favorite versus Christmas favorite as we pit 2000's "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" against 2003's "Bad Santa." And what's this? It's a Christmas miracle! All the swearing in this episode has been replaced with the magical tines of jingle bells!
Episode 5: THE GRUDGE
December 13, 2017 05:01 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBOne of the sp00kiest movies to come out of the early-2000s Japanese horror remake trend is our pick for this week. Kari and Kyle attempt to nail down the perplexing logic and timelines in a movie best known for its big scares. Will they succeed? LISTEN TO FIND OUT!
Episode 4: THE BURBS
December 06, 2017 04:32 - 1 hour - 76.3 MBRemember when Tom Hanks was funny? No? Well, here's a refresher: 1989's "The 'Burbs" features Hanks alongside Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, and Corey Feldman in a comedy about new neighbors who are probably/maybe satanic cult murderers.
Episode 3: THE ROAD TO EL DORADO
November 29, 2017 05:40 - 54 minutes - 62.8 MBIt's a risky move bringing a childhood favorite to the table, but Kari does exactly that with "The Road to El Dorado," a classic animated adventure/romance/comedy/musical set against the impending Spanish colonization of the New World
