Ep 82 – Porco Rosso (1992) with Jacob Barrick
Talkin' Tuong - June 27, 2021 19:36 - 1 hour"A pig that doesn't fly is just a pig." Coming off last week's episode (Luca) set in an Italian inspired world with sea creatures, this week we go back to the legendary catalog of Studio Ghibli films exploring Italy once more but under the lens of sky pirates, planes, and a pilot pig! So join T...
Ep 81 – Luca (2021) with Cassie Pyatt
Talkin' Tuong - June 20, 2021 18:13 - 1 hour"Silenzio, Bruno!" It's hard to remember a time when Pixar was not at the forefront of animated movies. From Toy Story to Up to Inside Out (and much more) they have always somehow managed to push the boundary of story and animation while being incredibly accessible for the whole family. So join...
Ep 80 – In the Heights (2021) with Laura Gordon
Talkin' Tuong - June 13, 2021 20:36 - 1 hour"The streets were made of music". Even if you aren't a Broadway nerd, you probably have at least heard of the hit musical "Hamilton" by now. But long before Hamilton became the musical juggernaut that it is, a young Lin Manuel Miranda made his first masterpiece back in 2008 that also so happene...
Ep 79 – Bo Burnham: Inside (2021) with Justin Otto
Talkin' Tuong - June 06, 2021 18:16 - 1 hour"There it is. That funny feeling."

Juggling the fine line between comedy and music, he somehow finds a way to make you la...
Ep 78 – Army of the Dead (2021) with Michael Mongiardi
Talkin' Tuong - May 30, 2021 18:29 - 1 hour"It's A Goddamn Zombie Tiger. That's Crossing The Line." George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978) is one of the most beloved and seminal zombie movies in cinema. When Zack Snyder remade it in 2004 it had a high bar to clear which it somehow successfully did, modernizing what a zombie film cou...
Ep 77 – Paddington 1 & 2 with Sarah MacDonald
Talkin' Tuong - May 23, 2021 16:18 - 1 hour"If we're kind and polite everything will be right." Children's stories don't always translate well to the big screen and when they do, sometimes it's painfully clear they are made 'just for kids'. It takes a special type of movie magic to make a film that is good for the entire family, and the...
Ep 76 – Nomadland (2020) with Josef Addleman
Talkin' Tuong - May 16, 2021 17:36 - 1 hour"I don't ever say a final goodbye. I always just say, I'll see you down the road and I do". Last year was a weird year for movies. Not a lot came out but also not a lot of people were in the mood to watch any of the movies that were contenders for the typical movie award season this year. Well ...
Ep 75 – The Mitchells vs. The Machines (2021) with Meghan Murphy
Talkin' Tuong - May 09, 2021 18:14 - 1 hour“Families can be hard but they are so worth fighting for.” Stop us if you heard this before: A movie about an unlikely group of people saving the world from killer robots. You'd think with the amount of times this type of movie has been done before that there would be no way to tell us this mov...
Ep 74 – Mortal Kombat (2021) with Katie Pagnucco
Talkin' Tuong - May 02, 2021 18:29 - 1 hour"Get over here!" A good movie adaptation of a video game is really hard to come by since...well ever. From stinkers like 1993's Super Mario Bros. to Resident Evil to even the new Monster Hunter movie, Hollywood struggles to capture what makes these games so special in the first place. So join T...
Ep 73 – The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) with Taylor Fleming
Talkin' Tuong - April 25, 2021 19:22 - 1 hour"On your left..." Hey look we all love Captain America in the P0dCavern (at least Tuong really does) so was it a surprise that we'd be talking about this show? So join Tuong and Evil Captain America Taylor Fleming as they do a series review of Disney's second MCU show - The Falcon and the Winte...
Ep 72 – Love and Monsters (2020) with Adam Jasim
Talkin' Tuong - April 18, 2021 21:29 - 1 hour"Don't Settle. You Don't Have To. Even At The End Of The World." Generally post-apocalyptic movies can all start to feel the same and are usually kind of a big bummer (we imagine that's partly because it's about the end of the world and all that...). Luckily, this week's movie somehow creates ...

Ep 70 – The Silence of the Lambs (1991) with Kelley Oliver
Talkin' Tuong - April 04, 2021 18:32 - 1 hour"Well, Hello Clarice" Thanks to the bone-chilling performance of Anthony Hopkins, The Silence of the Lambs has become a franchise that has no shortage of sequels and spin offs that is continuing to be milked for all it's worth. But what's the big deal anyway? Join Tuong La and intrepid FBI det...
Ep 69 – Zack Snyder’s Justice League AKA The Snydercut (2021) with Angus MacDonald and Matt Barrow
Talkin' Tuong - March 28, 2021 19:05 - 1 hour"There Are Six, Not Five. There Is No Us Without Him." The Snydercut is one of the weirdest things to happen in film in a long time. The Justice League came out in 2017 which was finished by another director and had a sub-par reception to it upon it's release. Since then, the internet and even ...
Ep 68 – Good Burger (1997) with Alli Harris
Talkin' Tuong - March 21, 2021 18:19 - 1 hour"Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger! Can I take your order?" Hey look, moves in the 90's were weird. But they were also wonderful because sometimes an idea is so bananas that it wouldn't work in today's world of cinema. That's why on this week's episode, Tuong and Alli "Mondo Burge...
Ep 67 – Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury (2021) with Doug MacKendrick
Talkin' Tuong - March 14, 2021 19:11 - 1 hour"It's a-me!" We are not quite done celebrating Mario's 35th birthday in the PodCavern! Like many games that came to the Wii U, this particular one was revered by many but played by so few...until now! So join us this week as Tuong La and Doug MacKendrick talk about the newest (sort of) cat-fill...
Ep 66 – Raya and The Last Dragon (2021) with Kalvin Nhan
Talkin' Tuong - March 07, 2021 19:45 - 1 hour"It may feel impossible, but sometimes, you just have to take the first step" Over the last couple of films, Disney Princesses have started to move away from the formula of being the damsel in distress and having to have big sweeping romantic love stories. With Disney's latest film, we (finall...
Ep 65 – The Platform (2019) – with Jesse Bergen
Talkin' Tuong - March 01, 2021 15:01 - 1 hour"There are three types of people: Those at the top, those at the bottom, and those who fall." There have been many films that have tried to provide social commentary on status and class in such a way that it's almost become it's own sub-genre of movies. And while Parasite has popularized this s...
Ep 64 – Paddleton (2019) with Kristy Matheson
Talkin' Tuong - February 21, 2021 19:43 - 1 hour"I'm the dying guy!" "I'm the other guy!"

Talkin' Tuong - February 15, 2021 14:29 - 1 hour“I…am Tetsuo!” While loved by many, only in recent years has anime started hitting the main stream in North America. And while there are plenty of great anime films out... The post Ep 63 – Akira (1988) with Amanda Parker appeared first on PodCavern.
Ep 62 – Dope (2015) with Stenley Philippe
Talkin' Tuong - February 07, 2021 19:38 - 58 minutes“Why do I want to attend Harvard? If I was white, would you even have to ask me that question?” Geeky kids. A party gone wrong. Geeky kids are forced into a life or death situation involving drugs. These are all beats from thousands of other movies that we've seen before. So is it possible to h...
Ep 61 – MacGruber (2010) with Brie Watson
Talkin' Tuong - January 31, 2021 19:12 - 1 hour"Time to go pound some Cunth!" These days when you say Saturday Night Live we often think about the weekly sketch show featuring a famous Hollywood guest host and some popular music artist. But Saturday Night Live is far more than a bunch of sketches. Over the years, SNL has put out a ton of or...
Ep 60 – Lilo & Stitch (2002) with Simone Dorie
Talkin' Tuong - January 24, 2021 19:43 - 1 hour"Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind".

Ep 58 – Bumblebee (2018) with Vinny Francois
Talkin' Tuong - January 10, 2021 17:04 - 59 minutes"Where is Optimus Prime?!" Back in 2007 Michael Bay launched one the most beloved shows/toys from our childhood into a live-action franchise that took over the world by storm. After 4 sequels, he also ran that sucker right into the ground creating the most convoluted, explosion festish-y, and o...

Talkin' Tuong - January 03, 2021 19:36 - 1 hour"Is All This Living Really Worth Dying For?"
