Clear Tinted Classics

The hosts of Steel City Screams join Jake on the show to scream about the wild ass movie that is 1976's Carrie. Ashley and Bryn try and help Jake understand why everyone is so mean to Carrie, they get wildly off track, and then they break down the whole movie. It's a blast, like one from a firehose.

In 1968 Night of the Living Dead came out and changed cinema forever. Much less talked about is the following film by most of the same crew, There's Always Vanilla, a slice of life drama/romance film in the vein of things like The Graduate. Is it a hidden gem, or is there a reason why this film has mostly been forgotten? First time guest Johnny Catalano joins the show to talk about his history...

Christina is back on the show, what a joyous day it is! It's time for her to walk Jake through one of the big John Hughes movies he missed growing up, and maybe try to convince him Ducky isn't an annoying little pervert. How does it go? You better listen to find out.

Jake is joined for the very first time by Ethan. They dig deep into Ethan's history with filmmaking and what he's hoping for next, before they turn to discussing this wild post-apocalyptic ride. And no, I'm not talking about the current landscape, I'm talking about the movie Children of Men. Check it out!

Ian guests on the show for the very first time, and he and Jake reminisce about the past, talk about Ian's history with movies, and then well... A History of Violence. It's a wild ride through this Cronenberg look at violence and America. You won't want to miss this one.

First time guest Josiah joins Jake on the show. And what a heavy movie to cover for a first time guest, but they have an honest go at it. First they talk about Josiah's journey into acting and film, and then they break down the movie itself.

It's been a long time, but here comes another four person podcast episode. Jake welcomes Tony and Luke back to the show, and Michael makes his first ever appearance. They dig into stage vs. screen, the guests relationships with superhero, sci-fi, and fantasy, and then they get into the movie. Is is a fun, schlocky B-movie? Or is it a complete dud? Maybe something in between. Go check out the g...

It's time for John's triumphant return to the show, and it's also time for Jake to watch more Hitchcock. This is a pretty wild ride, one that takes us all over the states, and all through old timey age gap politics. It's a really fun one, so definitely check it out. Also check out John's movies, available on Tubi. The Girl in the Crawlspace, Scarecrow County, and Smart House.

Jake is joined by first time by new guest Malakai to try and break down what the trailers try to sell as some kind of European crime thriller, but what actually turns out to be more of a withdrawn, slow-burn family drama about a nomadic group of people who live on the outskirts of society. Brendan Gleeson is Michael Fassbender's dad, isn't that wild? But seriously, listen to Jake talk to Malakai a...

Charlize Theron's Oscar winning turn as America's first female serial killer. Did she earn it? Yeah, she did and then some, but there's plenty more to talk about with this wild ride. Thankfully Andrew is back to help Jake through it. Check it out!

It's Justin's turn to pick a movie, and we've got a proper classic this time around. Walter Hill directed buddy comedy action movie starring Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. Did this start the genre? Maybe, it definitely started a lot of things. But how does it hold up? Well, that's what listening to the episode is for guys.

Jake didn't feel like watching a movie this week, so instead you're getting a top ten list. It's a blast from the past, all the way back in the yesteryear of the 2000s. Enjoy.

Justin is back to chat about this slightly deceptive cop... thriller? Drama? Who knows? They sort it out as they sort through the beyond stacked cast, and go back and forth on whether this is one of Stallone's best and fawn over Robert De Niro yelling at him. Check it out!

King Arthur has long been the focus of film and TV, and this is no exception. What sets this movie apart is how much it sticks to the lore, how trippy it is, and the random incredibly famous people who flit in and out of the story. And what makes this episode special is first time guest, Darren! Jake chats with him about how he got into the world of filmmaking, what movies he loves, his dance care...

Tony makes his triumphant return to the show with this absolute barnburner of an episode. They talk about the entire trilogy, Raimi, Campbell, low budget filmmaking, slapstick horror, it's all here. Jake even watched the remake and Rise. It's a jam packed episode, and if you stick around till the end, you'll get a pretty spicy ranking of all of the films. Swallow this!

It's an actual classic this week, The Sting. How does this conman flick hold up after all this time? Especially since it became incredibly apparent that every subsequent movie ripped this one off? Redford, Newman, Shaw? It's a murderers row, and a wonderful return guest in Bron, guys, it's a great ep, so check it out!

It's a brand new guest and a very famous movie, what could go wrong? Other than a bunch of droogs kicking down the studio door and dropkicking Jake for his spicy takes this episode of course. Michael helps Jake through the world of Kubrick, a world he is mostly unfamiliar with, and then they break down the movie. It's a great spot of ultrapodcasting, so check it out!

Jake is finally woken up to the best Scorsese movie of all time! Well... maybe not that extreme, but is this one of his underrated ones? How does Leo's performance hold up? Or better yet, what's going on with Cate Blanchett's Katharine Hepburn? Well, you know the drill, click to find out.

It's a recent movie, and Jake has seen it already, but Justin hasn't! They continue their descent into all things Shane Black with a film that Jake swears is actually pretty good. How does it hold up? I guess you'll have to click on the episode and find out.

Christina is back on the show to talk about one of Jake's favorite movies of all time. Park Chan-wook is the master, and they talk about it. And they talk about this absolute modern classic. Be Gay, Do Crime!

Justin swears this movie is good. Jake isn't so sure. I guess it's up to you to decide? Or just have fun listening to them figure out if Josh Hartnett is a good actor, if Harrison Ford is actually hilarious, and what the hell the intention of this thing was. Is it funny? I suppose the same could be asked about the podcast. Listen anyway?

What do you know? It's Justin, back on the show! They talk about this fucking terrible movie that shouldn't be as bad as it is, but somehow it is. Mel Gibson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, Raul Julia, a stellar behind the camera team. And it's the most boring movie ever made. Can Justin and Jake make it entertaining? Maybe!

It's the spookiest thing of all, Jake is tackling a popular movie all alone. Grab your favorite blankie, pop your poppinest popcorn, and curl up with him while he talks about zombies running around on a train. It's a good time, kinda!

Spooky season continues as Andrew is back on the show to talk with Jake about one of the biggest horror movies he has missed in his life, Hellraiser! Should it be in the same conversation as the big ones? Or is it a completely different beast all together? Does Jake spend half the episode pitching upgrades to the movie? Yes, but that's besides the point. Check it out!

It's the return of Lucas B. Gerke to the show! Spooky month kind of continues with this Japanese cult classic from 2000. Tarantino once said it is his favorite movie from that decade. It's the movie the popularized the death game genre, and is probably directly responsible for things like The Hunger Games, Squid Game, and even Fortnite. Does it hold up? Well, that's why you should list...
