Ep 4.20 - The Silence of the Lambs [Z's bday May #3]
May 20, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 166 MBYo! Z's third bday pick is another movie which contains a nude crotch shot. And that overshadowed much of everything else the film has going for it. A film so deeply imbedded in the cultural zeitgeist that many folks to this day can't hear the words "lotion" "fava beans" or "Clarice" without compulsively quoting it. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Greenskeepers performing Lotion --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zandkmoviep...

Ep 4.19 - Léon: The Professional [Z's bday May #2]
May 13, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBGurl, here we go again! In this second installment Z's bday May, we bring you Luc "short-eyes" Besson's tale of a young girl and a grown-ass hitman tryna make their way in the world today. An extremely 90's indy film that Keith was unaware of before Z shared their 20+ year obsession with it. Here we are talking the original full length cut was not shown in US cinemas. Time to do some growing up.... references: "Women in Refrigerators" trope "Born Sexy Yesterday" | Pop Culture Detectiv...
Ep 4.18 - The Crying Game [Z's bday May #1]
May 06, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 83.3 MBMay Day, May Day - It's Z's birthday Month! And to kick it off we are bringing you the film you've been dying for us to talk about since at least March: The Crying Game. Neil Jordan's most infamous film (at least in the States) has a lot more going on than a genital surprise. In some ways, it's almost like a synthesis of Mona Lisa (1986) and The Long Good Friday (1981). Or at least, all three movies will heretofore always be conflated in Keith's brain... Happy outdoor f*cking! BFI panel ...
Ep 4.17 - The First Power (with special guest Randall!)
April 29, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 137 MBTo close out Easter's Revenge, we welcome long time listener/first time guest Randall to talk The First Power (1990). We bond over our shared Kober-philia, magical seatbelts, our appreciation for the action and stunt work and our confusion over why it isn't in a different, better movie. Plus Z catches us up on Shawnee language and Picard! Easter is dead!

Ep 4.16 - The Being (Flesh Gordon vs the spud CHUD)
April 22, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 94.8 MBMany potato puns to you, film fans! With plot points you'll recognize from Jaws and a radiation-spawned monster shot like a xenomorph, The Being doesn't add a whole lot to the genre/s besides being set in Idaho on Easter. Well and bringing together the producer of Flesh Gordon, Martin Landau, Ruth Buzzi, Jose Ferrer and Dorothy Malone. Better experienced that described, you'll just have to check this one out for yourself. Plus, we give you our rankings for this Easter's Revenge. What M...
Ep 4.15 - The Seventh Sign (Corpus Karen)
April 15, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 84.3 MBChrist on sale! The airtight logic of biblical prophecy is brought into glaring living, breathing relief in this white bread, end times thriller. The Seventh Sign follows a very unremarkable middle-class white lady who is pregnant and married to a DA that is trying to get a person with Down syndrome off of death row for killing his incestuous parents. Meanwhile, Jesus moves in upstairs and the Roman officer that slapped him back in the day is hot on his heels. Make sense? What til y...
Ep 4.14 - Little Witches (Craft, cheese & Illuminaughti)
April 13, 2023 15:22 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MBEaster is sure getting it's revenge on us with this one! Shot in 18 days and released straight to video to capitalize on the "occultsploitation" success of The Craft (1996) earlier that year, Little Witches holds the dubious honor of being the first feature with Clea Duvall and the last that Jack Nance shot. We won't insult you here by attempting a plot synopsis, you can watch the whole thing on youtube, should you dare. Make sure to bring some salt! +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping avail...

Ep 4.13 - The Long Good Friday (Harold and mobs)
April 01, 2023 07:00 - 58 minutes - 79.8 MBWelcome to Easter's revenge 2! Or more like 1.2 or "New Egginings" Or something. This film, besides being an excellent crime drama, turns out to be a great transition from Ireland to Easter. Bob Hoskins and Helen Mirren absolutely dominate in this tale of a London crime boss looking to expand into new territory, a new decade, a global economy but quickly finds he's not in as much control as he believed. Could it be a allegory for late '70's England? See for yourself. We consider T...
Ep 4.12 - In Dreams (apple bothered screens, ruse with a cur)
March 25, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBAs the candy-colored clown they call March is pulled off stage by the Sandman, we bring you our final Neil Jordan film for the time being. In Dreams (1999) can hold it's own against most other 90's supernatural thrillers, plus it's got Jordan on it's side. Annette Benning flexes as an otherwise ordinary white, American, middle class woman who is haunted by dreams, visions, premonitions of little girls being kidnapped and a little boy drowning. Things escalate as our abductor takes her daugh...

Ep 4.11 - High Spirits (Banshees of Innit-shyte-then)
March 18, 2023 07:00 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MBOur most unfortunate entry in this most Irish of months comes to you just in time for St Patty's. Only our Neil Jordan himself knows the film that could have been without studio/executive mucking about. What we get instead is bizarre casting, confusingly placed slapstick and disorienting editing. Along the way we chat about our respective (lack of?) creative processes, the Scott brothers and Clint Howard. For more of Z talking about their Process, check out their solo podcast I...
Ep 4.10 - The Butcher Boy (Pig loose & Francie free)
March 11, 2023 08:00 - 53 minutes - 49.8 MBHappy Neil Jordan to you! This week we bring you a filim that Keith remembers watching at some point and the rest is conjecture. A movie based on a novel inspired by a real life mukduk, a possible anti-Boomer nostalgia piece, a impressionistic allegorical rumination on Ireland in the 1960s - all or none of this and more, it's 1997's The Butcher Boy. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Sinead O'Connor performing Call Me Joe --- Support this podcast: https://p...
Ep 4.09 - Mona Lisa ("LHOOQ")
March 04, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 71.5 MBTop o the morning and welcome to March for Jordan! Our first entry in our look at the films of Neil Jordan is 1986's Mona Lisa. When newly released con George meets working girl Simone, it's love at first fight. Or is it?! A film with surprising and subtle complexity (and queerness; don't forget the queerness), we couldn't have picked a better place to begin. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Jyoti Mishra performing Your Woman 1917 --- Support this podc...
Ep 4.08 - Malcolm X
February 25, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBTo finish out the month, we bring you Spike Lee's epic biopic from 1992, Malcolm X.

Ep 4.07 - Jumpin' Jack Flash
February 18, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBOh hai! This week's entry is a movie that: almost was directed by the same person as My Girl and the "that's a spicy meatball" commercial; almost starred Shelly Long, Burt Reynolds, Sam Kinison and didn't have Jon Lovitz; was co-written by Rosa Diaz and Adrian Pimento's favorite romcom screenwriter. Yuuuuup, it's Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986). For your pleasure Keith monologues about the Iran/Contra affair, Z talks eyebrows, and we analyze the relative significance of old b&w movies that app...
Ep 4.06 - Set It Off
February 11, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBThis week we bring you another film in which John C McGinley plays a cop trying to catch some bank robbers. This time, instead of some white men doing it because their privilege has left them bored, it's four Black women doing it in an attempt to pull themselves out of cycles of oppression they were born into. Set It Off (1996), stars Jada Pinkett, Vivica A Fox, Queen Latifah, and Kimberly Elise with appearances by Blair Underwood, Dr. Dre, Charles Robinson, Thomas Jefferson Byrd and Mark ...
Ep 4.05 - House Party
February 04, 2023 08:00 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MBHiya! This week we bring you the first installment in the House Party franchise. Starring Kid and Play, Tisha Campbell, A.J. Johnson, Martin Lawrence, Robin Harris, Full Force, and many, many more! An obvious classic in its sub-genres, this movie from the Hudlin brothers is packed with laughs, heart, amazing fashion and some serious dance moves.

January 28, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 69.1 MBAloha! As Tanuary comes to an end, we talk cousins, grannies, namesakes, and One Crazy Summer (1986).

Ep 4.03 - Satisfaction (Pud-tease Falcon's)
January 21, 2023 08:00 - 58 minutes - 54.1 MBHello from the other side! This week we bring you a movie that's been on our list since the inception of this pod. And boy is it.... unsatisfying. Despite the available star power -- Roberts, Neeson, Bateman -- this film has trouble finding its tone. But it may be goofy enough to watch anyway. You better knock on wood! +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Sarah Vaugh performing Summertime --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sh...

Is it a crime drama, is it about a surfing guru, is it about the emptiness of privilege? We bring you our second Katherine Bigelow directed film, it's 1991's Point Break, bruh. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Tim Grogan & co performing Bodhisattva Bossa --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/za...
Ep 4.01 - Weekend At Bernie's (dead 80's walking)
January 07, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBHappy New Year! To kick off 2023, we are discussing a film famous for its hackneyed premise which itself can be read as a metaphor for the worn to death tropes of preceding decade that are drug out one more time for this movie: Weekend At Bernie's (1989). We reminisce about some old tv commercials and get into it about cinnamon-flavored candy. What more could you ask for? Don't answer. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: The Lion performing Death --- ...
Ep 3.53 - The House of Yes (Parker Posey Gardens)
December 31, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBOh boi-- Here we are closing out Dysfunctional December, 2022 AND season 3! And what a great film to do it with: 1997's The House of Yes! Parker Posey, Josh Hamilton, Freddie Prinz Jr, Tori Spelling and Genevieve Bujold deliver a tight adaptation of a play by Wendy MacLeod. Mark Waters and crew adroitly guide us through this contemporary take on Jacobean-style upper class drama. We delve into how much and why we loved the performances in this film and also reflect upon our personal r...

Ep 3.51 - The Adventures of Sebastian Cole
December 17, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBSeasons Greetings! Dysfunctional December may be at its peak with this 1998 ~quirky~ indie coming of age story written and directed by Tod Williams. With Adrian Grenier as the titular twit, co-starring Clark Gregg and with notable appearances by Merritt Weaver, Famke Jensen and Levon Helm, this film has trouble finding its direction, not unlike Sebastian. Wait a minute... Along the way we revisit the Heaven's Gate docu-series, review the Kennedy-Kassebaum Act, and Z reminisces about thei...
Ep 3.50 - Men Don't Leave (post dad clarity)
December 10, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBWhat a doozy! We very much enjoyed this one. You've got Jessica Lange, Arliss Howard, Carlie Korsmo, Kathy Bates, Chis O"Donnell in is big screen debut and of course, the charming enigma, the legend, the inimitable: Joan Cusack. When the patriarch of this painfully average, white, middle-class nuclear family suddenly dies, mom and sons have to cobble together a new life for themselves in the city. Oh, yeah, it's Men Don't Leave (1990). And it rules. Get some. ++++++ Intro: by Profes...

December 03, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBWelcome to the home stretch of 2022, dear listeners With good tidings, we bring you one of the most successful print-to-screen adaptations known to our kind. The second highest grossing film behind Jurassic Park for the year 1993. The movie that made Anne Fine a household name. Chris Colombus' favorite documentary. The celluloid fable that taught us "never buy gribenes from a Mohel." Mrs. Doubtfire You know it, we love to hate it, Keith had never seen it. So don your a...

We're talking the film that fictionalizes (for some reason) real events on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the 1970s, Thunderheart (1992). Plus we wrap up our Native November viewing with some good ol contrasts and comparisons. +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: John Trudell performing Rockin' the Rez --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters...
Ep 3.47 - Smoke Signals
November 19, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 76.6 MBIn our 3rd entry in our look at films that deal with Indigeneity, we bring you probably the most well known (to US audiences at least) Native production: 1998's Smoke Signals. Written by Sherman Alexie, directed by Chris Eyre and co-produced by the two, it *allegedly* holds the title of being the first film to have Native Americans in all three roles. Anyhoo it's about fathers and trauma and generational stuff. And we get on to talkin' about white supremacy and the like, so: the usual....
Ep 3.46 - Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner
November 12, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 77.6 MBGreetings! In this, our first ever review of a non-English language film, we bring also maybe our first Canadian production? If you can call it that... Anyway, it's 2001's Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner. Based on an Inuit legend, this epic comes in at just under 3 hours. So strap in. It is as unique as it is worth your time. 2017 Interview with Zacharias Kunuk and Natar Ungalaaq +++++ Intro: by Professor Ping available on Bandcamp Outro: Tanya Tagaq performing In Me --- Support this...
Ep 3.45 - Powwow Highway
November 05, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBWelcome to our month of focusing on Native creators and stories. It promises to be a somber one! A riff of the classic road movie, 1989's Powwow Highway has an undeniable charm. While not sugarcoating reservation life and the particular struggles of post VietNam War Natives, it avoids the pitfalls of hopelessness and poverty porn. There is sly humor and complex depictions of implicit racisms. A high recommend from us! Plus Z dives into some of their lived experiences as an Indigenous ...
Ep 3.44 - House [1985]: (Hanging Mx Hooper)
October 29, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBTHE HORROR-- This is the final entry in Z & Keith's Second Annual Doc-Oc-Shock-Rocktober Hollerween Scream-a-long Spook-a-thon! It's been a wild and befuddling journey, and this film is no exception. TV's William Katt stars as a horror novelist haunted by his experiences in the war on Viet Nam. A premise with potential that reminded us of Jacob's Ladder but in the end, this movie can't decide if it's a comedy or not. Plus we give you our cheers & jeers for this month's holiday ...

October 08, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 69.8 MBIt's the year 2022 and HOLLERWEEN 2's second episode is here to terrify you with a blunt, yet effective metaphor about how upper classes stay top in 1989's Society! Directed by pod favorite Brian Yuzna and featuring (extremely) wet puppet design by Screaming Mad George, the only thing this film is missing is solid performances.

August 06, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 71.5 MBIn this very special episode, we both cry. We're talking Gods and Monsters (1998). Based on the novel Father of Frankenstein by Christopher Bram which gives a speculative account of the last days of Frankenstein (1931) director James Whale. Oddly enough--in talking about this movie about movies, images, bodies--we talk about impossible body standards in media, the abuse of bodies by The Industry and warmongers, the enforcement of heteronormativity... which inevitably leads to tears. ...

Something fishy is happening under the streets of Manhattan. The wife of the chief of the 9th precinct has gone missing, homeless folks are not showing up at their regular soup kitchen, the Nuclear Regulator Commission is leaving behind ankle boots.
