Married With Clickers: Episode 27 - Impact Point
July 17, 2011 15:47 - 33 minutes - 45.7 MBFor this week’s show, we decided to cover the Citizen Kane of Beach Volleyball Thrillers Starring 90210 Alumni: Impact Point. This film is filled with the 3 Bs: Beaches, Bikinis and Brian Austin Green. Mr. Megan Fox stars as a sexy… wait, we’ve already said too much. Needless to say, David Silver won’t be taking home the gold medal in sportsmanship. Our dishwasher’s notification system even makes a guest appearance. We recorded this one in rush, as Kat took the kids to the cottage while Sco...
Married With Clickers: Episode 26 - 28 Days Later
July 10, 2011 13:51 - 45 minutes - 61.9 MBIt’s been nearly a decade since Danny Boyle’s influential horror movie was all the rage (get it?). Does it still do the trick or are we suffering from zombie/infected burnout? Will Cillian Murphy kill or be killed? This episode was nearly lost due to an Audacity crash, but it was revived, zombie-style, with help from the Samurai of the GGTMC. Many thanks to the Lord of Louisville. There’s not much in the way of recent viewings, but Scott provides some brief thoughts on Revolver (1973) and t...
Married With Clickers: Episode 25 - The Swimmer
June 30, 2011 12:31 - 1 hour - 103 MBThis week, we turn our attention to a hidden gem from the 60s, The Swimmer. Burt Lancaster puts on his stylish swim trunks and attempts to find his way home, but it is not always smooth sailing (how's that for a mixed metaphor?). We also discuss The King's Speech, Hamlet (2000) and the fine documentary Marwencol. We loved the feedback this week, as it inspired even more conversation resulting in a marathon episode (for us, at least). Email us at [email protected] or leave us a v...

June 24, 2011 01:14 - 46 minutes - 64.4 MBThis week, we finally get around to watching John Woo's classic 1989 actioner The Killer. Does it still deliver the adrenaline rush 22 years later? Tune in to find out. Of course, by 'tune in' we mean 'download the show'. We also share our views on last year's buzz movie Black Swan. Yup, we are now only 6 months behind rest of the world.

June 17, 2011 01:38 - 45 minutes - 62.1 MBThis week, we put on our leg warmers and crop-tops to watch Perfect starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. Will we feel the burn or just feel burned? We got a ton of movies in this week, including a trip out with the kids to see The Muppet Movie on the big screen. We also share our thoughts on About Last Night..., The Reader and the original Taking Of Pelham 123. Props to Netflix for providing us with variety.

June 10, 2011 01:38 - 48 minutes - 66.6 MBThis week, we sit down in A Room With a TV to watch A Room With A View. Will Helena Bonham Carter choose Daniel Day Lewis or Julian Sands? It seems win-win to us. Kat comes up with the greatest pun in human history and Scott totally misses it. Scott gives a quick Thor review and yes, we do finally provide an update on The Bachelorette, so you can all relax. We've developed a nasty feedback addiction, so email us at [email protected] or leave us a voicemail at 206-338-0793

June 06, 2011 01:34 - 53 minutes - 74.1 MBThis week, we sit down to discuss Kathryn Bigelow's mid-90s mind bender, Strange Days.

Where does Sam Peckinpah's second feature film sit in the pantheon of westerns? Tune in to find out. We screened quite a few other movies lately, so we share our two cents on The Tourist, Easy A, Double Indemnity and a documentary on the Nigerian film industry called Nollywood Babylon. Our Question of the Week is: What is the best western produced between Ride the High Country and The Wild Bunch? We ex...
Married With Clickers: Episode 19 - (Escape to) Victory
May 19, 2011 01:52 - 52 minutes - 71.6 MBThis week, we experience the thrill of Victory (or is it the agony of defeat?). John Huston assembled an all-star cast including Sly Stallone, Michael Caine and Max Von Sydow for this WW2 soccer epic, but does the film deserve a yellow card? We also discuss the recent family movie Rio and have a chat about some recent TV season finales. Our Question of the Week is: What is a strong acting performance by an athlete? The answer is not Pelé - so email us at [email protected] or lea...
Married With Clickers: Episode 18 - American Psycho
May 12, 2011 13:48 - 51 minutes - 70.3 MBThis week we spend some time with the charming Patrick Bateman. He's a modern man, who can exfoliate while he decapitates. Does the movie's satirical message get lost in all of the bloodshed? What was real and what was imagined? Just how many crunches did he do per day? We also revisited that 80s gem Predator. Has it aged well? Our Question of the Week is: Who is your favourite female director? Feedback keeps your head out of our refrigerator, so email us at [email protected] or ...

May 06, 2011 10:43 - 1 hour - 94.5 MBWe cover our first film noir this week, with a review of Rudlph Maté's D.O.A. from 1950.

This is our most supersized episode yet, as we respond to some terrific feedback, including some trivia on Santa Carla/Cruz and a creepy story about a serial killer.

Married With Clickers: Episode 14 - The Lost Boys
April 11, 2011 16:38 - 54 minutes - 75 MBIt had to happen. The two of us cannot sit down for too long without someone referencing The Lost Boys, so it was high time we discussed this 1987 love letter to mullets and fangs. Does it still hold up? Was Dianne Wiest born a Mom? Why can't we get that song out of our heads? We ponder the future of Survivor after the shot of adrenaline provided by Redemption Island. Scott also takes a couple of minutes to discuss his aborted attempt at watching 2008's The Spirit. This week, we want you t...
Married With Clickers: Episode 13 - Eight Men Out
April 05, 2011 21:26 - 51 minutes - 70.2 MBBaseball season is upon us, and we’ve all got baseball on the brain in the Clickers household after taking in the ballgame Saturday. We stay class this episode, by reviewing that other Charlie Sheen baseball movie: Eight Men Out. Everyone looks sharp in their 1919 fashions, but their play on the field is somewhat sloppy. Is something strange afoot? Will Shoeless Joe ever play again? Is that Mr. Noodle? We haven’t watched much this week, so we look ahead to the film selections on an upcoming ...

March 22, 2011 11:48 - 1 hour - 110 MBThis week, we look deep into the eyes of Roger Corman's 1963 film, X, the Man With the X-Ray Eyes. but do we like what we see? This film stars Ray Milland as a scientist who wants to see what God sees, but doesn't quite understand why God doesn't have to wear bulky sunglasses. It's a pretty ambitious film, but what happens when ambition outpaces budget? Tune in to find out. Also, we got through a ton of movies this week: The Driver, Dune, The Hurt Locker, Across 110th Street, Heroin Busters...
Married With Clickers: Episode 10 - The Watcher in the Woods
March 15, 2011 23:37 - 83.8 MBFor our tenth episode, we revisit a childhood favourite while on vacation 'in the woods'. Does Disney's attempt to make a scary movie for the whole family actually work?

Married With Clickers: Episode 8 - Rebecca
February 28, 2011 02:16 - 45 minutes - 62.3 MBThis week, we tackle Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca – the 1940 Best Picture winner. Kat is a big fan of Daphne Du Maurier’s original novel. Scott is a big fan of Kat. So, will we agree on this film? Will Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine sweep us off our feet or push us off a cliff? This film has some great performances, an intense atmosphere and the least friendly housekeeper in film history. We also share our thoughts on Morning Glory, The Long Goodbye and a Film Noir lecture series at the R...
Married With Clickers: Episode 7: Escape From the Planet of the Apes
February 14, 2011 21:01 - 45 minutes - 62.8 MBIt's Valentine's Day folks, and nothing says romance quite like a screening of Escape From the Planet of the Apes. In all honesty, Zira and Cornelius do seem to be quite dedicated to each other. This film gives a lot to the viewer: everything from a discussion on infinite regression to a chimpanzee in a bubble bath. It's not every day that Victor Newman and Khan Noonien Singh (a.k.a. "KHAAANNNN!!!") appear in the same film.What did we make of all of of this monkeying around in early 70s Los...

December 14, 2010 03:34 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MBWe are Scott and Kat - a married couple in Toronto that probably spends too much time in front of the TV.
