This week we have two films featuring a couple of guys just being dudes... in the worst way possible. In The Boys Next Door, we follow Bo and Roy on a road trip journey of self-reflection and self-destruction. House on the Edge of the Park utilizes those same themes, but cranks the insanity up to the maximum in an almost too convenient revenge story. We want to hear from our listeners. What show i...

There are times in life when the world sucks so bad that the only way to feel better is to watch movies where the world sucks even more. Cue the post-apocalyptic genre. Rampant in the 70s/80s, these films all shared one common theme - a nuke was dropped and society has dissolved into chaos, usually in the middle of some barren wasteland. This week, we cover two perfect examples of the genre, both...

Everyone remembers their first boutique label. For us, it was the Criterion Collection. This was before young and innocent Robert and Matt even knew what a boutique label was, and the extent to which they would completely rule over our lives in the future.

Valet Girls | Directed by Rafal Zielinski A young girl who aspires to a singing career gets herself and her best friend a job as valet parking girls at a Malibu party to meet people who can help them achieve their dreams.

On the show this week, Grindhouse Chic celebrates not one, but TWO milestones! Exactly one year ago, we put our YouTube channel on hold and began our audio-only journey on Spotify.
