Ep 5.28 - The End of Violence
July 13, 2024 07:00 - 55 minutes - 76.8 MBMove #2 of Keith's bday selection is one that has haunted him since he was one of the extremely few people to view it in a cinema at the time: The End of Violence (1997). Starring Bill Pullman, Gabriel Byrne, Andie MacDowell, Traci Lind, Loren Dean, with notable support roles by Rosalind Chao, John Diehl, Pruitt Taylor Vince, K. Todd Freeman, Nicole Ari Parker, Marshall Bell, Marisol Padilla Sanchez, Henry Silva, to name but a few. A treatise on the rise and fall of the popularity of violen...
Ep 5.27 - Phantom of the Paradise
July 06, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 96.2 MBWe open Keith's birth month-o-movies with Brian de Palma's rock n roll Faust with a soupçon of Leroux/Lubin and a heaping scoop of Paul Williams. An excess of excess, an explosion of exploitation, a spectacle of split screens -- plus a special appearance by T.O.N.T.O.! We think it makes a perfect follow up to Velvet Goldmine.

Ep 5.26 - Velvet Goldmine
June 29, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 116 MBThe film Keith discovers is a bigger "root" then previously acknowledged and is then subsequently beset upon by a ~mid~ life crisis.

Ep 5.25 - Cruising
June 22, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBExtremely controversial in it's day (for legitimate reasons), somewhat middling today; this week we bring you the movie that began William "Hurricane Billy" Friedkin's hate affair with Al Pacino, Cruising (1980). We talk about how to look at looking, the intrinsic biases therein, and transgression vs oppression and repression in a capitalist, white supremacist society. So the yoozh.

Ep 5.22 - Priest (1994)
June 01, 2024 15:50 - 1 hour - 101 MBThe "priest" they called him. and they were correct. He was a priest. And spoiler: He's gay. Because it is the month in which we acknowledge the existence of things outside of the heteronormative. Here we have Linus Roache, Tom Wilkinson, Cathy Tyson and many other terrific supporting actors from the UK that I haven't heard of before. This movie swings for the fences.

Ep 5.17 - Mac & Me [w/special guest Randall!]
April 27, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 151 MBAt long last, dear listeners, we bring you a film made famous by Paul Rudd. A movie bank-rolled by Golden State Foods and Coke-a-Cola and yet looks worse than many a indie project.

April 13, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBWhat happens when Ralph Bakshi mixes live action with animation in a post Roger Rabbit universe? We examine the result: Cool World (1992). Too much toon, too little cohesion, and a nice soundtrack. Plus: circus peanuts, Freakazoid, Signal's former porny gif problem and Z still hates Al Pacino. Thanks for listening!

February 03, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBWelcome, dear listener, to February. We are starting things of with a film neither of us had encountered before, A Rage in Harlem (1991). Loosely based on the Chester Himes novel of the same name and directed by Bill Duke, it's a love story of sorts, a heist movie, a buddy comedy, and other stuff too! Thoroughly enjoyable throughout.

Ep 5.04 - True Lies (detected)
January 27, 2024 08:00 - 1 hour - 112 MBWrapping on Jameuary we revisit the 90's classic romcom/Western military hegemony, True Lies (1994). Just a lot of misogyny masquerading as romance and uh i guess... spycraft? this film wastes so much of the talents on hand. To lighten the mood, we touch on such topics as legislative applications of religious doctrine, abuse on set, tales in ID-ing, plus we revisit the Legend of the Sonny Edits.

Ep 5.03 - Blue Steel [what if a man weaponized victimhood?]
January 20, 2024 14:20 - 1 hour - 84.1 MBHere, dear reader, listener, lover, we bring you a movie full of wasted talents. A tale as threadbare and tedious as any we've discussed before. It askes the hard questions of "can a woman with a gun be a victim?" or "can a man get away with it?" and "is murder a justifiable punishment for sexual assault?" So, y'know heavy trigger warnings for this one. Take care of yourselves out there. How One Movie Killed the 1980's | Patrick (H) Willems +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on ...

January 06, 2024 08:00 - 58 minutes - 80.3 MBOh shit- it's season 5! and another year! We're starting off with a month of Jamie Lee (become a patron to find out how come) and this little movie that we'd never heard of is nice little bit of turn-of-the-decade upper-middle class paranoia/psychosexual family thriller. Of course, you'll be reminded of Fatal Attraction, Poison Ivy, Single White Female -- basically any other "crazy b-word" film of the time -- but this one has Jamie Lee.

To close it out, we bring you a foreign film in a foreign land: Three Fugitives (1989) We find the unlikely duo of Nick Nolte and Martin Short forced to team up to evade police and save Short's little girl. Naturally, many many hijinks are had. We also discuss physical acting theory and Cpt. Janeway's hairpiece. Plus we try to summarize our feelings about season 4.

December 23, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 95.2 MBHeyo- This week we bring you a film that's long been on our list: Postcards from the Edge (1990). Based on Carrie Fischer's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, the movie follows a middle-aged daughter of a famous actress who is herself an actress struggling to find herself while also navigating addiction, the industry, horrible men and her mother. You will also hear about Keith's long lost connection to the industry, hot takes on Australians, CCH Pounder's accent and iceberg le...
Ep 4.50 - Serial Mom (white suburban compartmentalization & asymptomatic lethality)
December 16, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 98 MBGreetings sports fans! This week we bring you arguably John Waters' most widely viewed film: Serial Mom (1994). Pitch perfect performances really sell this tale of a middle class white lady from the Baltimore 'burbs who erases anyone that gets on her bad side. Plus, per usual, we shit on some of our favorite Hollywood bastards to hate, reference porn and praise Kathy Bates bravura boobies (RIP). Typical. Let's All Go to the Lobby (B.A.N. remix) T.J.

Ep 4.49 - The Secret of my Success (spoiler: it's whiteness)
December 09, 2023 08:00 - 57 minutes - 78.9 MBWell, well, will you look at that. Another movie in which a young white person lies to get ahead in the world. Michael J. Fox plays a white kid from Kansas driven to make a bunch of money off the backs of others (aka, The American Dream). But he wants to get to the top on his own merits. That's why he calls in favors to a distant uncle. and then his aunt. whom he's sleeping with. And Helen Slater is there. I'm very tired. Please enjoy. 'Walking On Sunshine': Living on a Song +++++...
Ep 4.48 - Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead
December 02, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 96.4 MBGD it if it ain't another Dysfunctional December! To start it off we watched Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead (1991). Despite a somewhat cliche failing-upwards/"Fawlty Towers plot" initial premise, it avoids many of the expected tropes and delivers some surprising charm and believable growth for Christina Applegate's lead. As a result, our conversation naturally turned towards manila envelopes vs Nilla wafers & leavening the whole lump. This episode brought to you be the death of Hei...
Ep 4.47 - The Keep (we did N@zi that one coming)
November 25, 2023 07:58 - 1 hour - 111 MBHere we are driving a stake through the heart of Nosferatu November with Michael Mann's The Keep (1983). And what a great way to go out!

Ep 4.46 - Nadja (nod-ya head, it's so good)
November 18, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 95.1 MBAfter The Addiction, we had a bad taste in our mouths. But this film was a Mentos for the senses! We have Hartley alumni Donovan and Löwensohn plus an impressive supporting cast that includes a surprisingly fun Peter Fonda and an sadly brief Jared Harris. Building on Bram Stoker's source material and set in contemporary NYC, this movie manages be funny, charming, heavy, and technical craftiness without veering to far into navel-gazing.

November 11, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 96.1 MBBlah! Our second entry for Nosferatu November is 1995's The Addiction. From the same writer/director team that brought you The King of New York comes this b&w philosophical wank--I mean meditation on the nature of man's relationship to addiction. Only not really. Along the way we weigh in on internalized victim blaming, Natalie Wynn, and I Shot Andy Warhol (again). Your welcome (again).

November 04, 2023 07:00 - 59 minutes - 81.9 MBWelcome, creatures of the night, to Nosferatu November! We begin with The Lost Boys (1987). In this episode we question whether it's Schumacher movies or vampires that are inevitably disappointing? Plus we reminisce about video rental stores and can't help but touch upon the history of the Coreys. Synergistically, on the same day we finished editing this ep, Minty Comedic Arts published a video about the version of The Lost Boys that never was. Check it out here. Tell'm Z & Keith sent ya....

Clockwatchers (1997) is one of those nearly forgotten gems of 90's indie filmmaking.

September 16, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBIs it the late '80's sequel to 9 to 5? Is it the sassy sister film to Die Hard? Is it an accurate representation of Long Island aesthetics of the day? These and many other questions are left unanswered as we discuss Working Girl (1988). On our second viewing we noticed some nuance to the messaging we had missed on our first go (pre-pod).
