The Movie Blues Podcast with Dan & Dan

It's all about sex. Power. That's the game. (Plus there's VR)   We step into the Corridor with our pants half off as we watch 1994's DISCLOSURE starring firmly toned actor Michael Douglas, based on a book by now deceased misogynist and should-have-been-me-too'd author of JURASSIC PARK, Michael Crichton.

In which the boys open up their "homework" folder to watch Netflix's 2020 child-sploitation film CUTIES.   note to self, delete this

Dan and Dan finally give the people what they want during an election crisis - a review of the Chevy Chase classic FLETCH! Everything you ever wanted from an episode where the boys talk about FLETCH is here. We literally talk about Fletch the WHOLE time, no bullsh*t. Also includes the new hit segment, TRUTH OR FLETCH, as well as an embarrassing Jewish holiday story that probably should've been cut...

If you thought we would review something actually scary (or good) after The Haunting of Bly Manor, you thought wrong!   For this year's Halloween Special, two Dan's and one Steve break down one of the most reprehensibly bizarre Stephen King movies ever made, 1992's LAWNMOWER MAN, in which a drunken James Bond actor abuses the helicopter pilot from LOST until he stops dressing and acting like Simpl...

The Dans tumble into repetition amidst a 10 hour rash of waking, walking, and fucking forgetting THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR (2020). Another crushing blow in 2020 is absorbed, dissected, and made to answer for it's various misdeeds. It's the people vs. Mike Flanagan, in our first of two special Halloween episodes.    

The saga continues, in which Vin Diesel is large, The Rock is drenched, and the plot makes less than zero sense while the Dans have never seen Fast Five (2011).

SEASON 3 PREMIERE   In which the Dans try to get a brief reprieve from the plague by watching a movie about the plague: 2020's Christian propoganda film ANTI-CORONAVIRUS.    This is a condensed version of a live commentary track. You do not need to see the film for it to work, and you likely shouldn't.

A new re-beginning begins again... A prologue which the Dan's bridge the gap between seasons 2 and 3, introducing the path ahead while addressing the damage left behind. Enden is faced with a surprise gambit, Lyons trashes Lovecraft Country, and both Dan's lament...just in general.   Stay tuned for the season 3 premiere, "Anti Coronavirus" next week.  

An epic saga comes to a brief close. Bracket results are discussed, future brackets are revealed, every film of the season is given a shot at redemption, and it is concluded that Dan Lyons has no eye for cinema because he hates Speed Racer.

SEASON 2 FINALE, FEATURING THE HIT NEW GAME "YO, IS THIS RACIST?"   The epic conclusion to a historic saga, in which one Dan gets drunk, one Dan gets upset, and both Dans come full circle while having never seen 007: Live and Let Die (1973). Featuring special guest: notable James Bond and Jesus enthusiast, Josh Boyer

In which the Dans come face to face with the limits of satire, narrowly avoid a tragic misstep, and try to make sense of dark times while being beaten over the heads with 1986's cursed racial comedy, SOUL MAN. 

In which the Dans romanticize a talk show host's facial hair and confront the drug-glorifying circus of sex criminals and fuccbois that is THE FACULTY (1998).

Death Becomes Dan - A Robert Zemeckithon Following a manic episode and the torching of a cop car, the Dans dive deep into the filmography of director Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future Trilogy, Forrest Gump, Contact) while reviewing his underrated cult classic, 1992's DEATH BECOMES HER. 

In this edition of The Movie Blues Sidepiece, the Dans introduce a new movie game to the MBPCU: the aptly named "Movie Game"

Mayhem! Carnage! Destruction! In which the Dans take questions from listeners in The Movie Blues Rental Zone and fulfill an annual obligation....OF PAIN!

In which the Dans finally tackle a longtime contentious...gem? plague? Basically, in which both Dans get upset while having again seen SPEED RACER (2008).

S2 EpVIII - THE LODGE (aka Spooki Henry)   This week the Dans pump the brakes on absolute garbage and shift back toward artsy garbage with the brand new horror film THE LODGE, a spiritual sequel to 'The Book of Henry' and potentially Hereditary’s slow-in-the-head cousin.   Music for this week (and Sidepiece 5) provided by Freddy Rylands’ project “InBok” with the album “Short Stories.”  

In which the Dans continue an epic saga, attend a true beefcake bazaar, and learn the meaning of the word "family," again, while having never seen FAST & FURIOUS (2009).

In which the Dans take one for the team, alienate another portion of their fan base, and disparage an entire species while having never seen the nightmare incarnate that is CATS (2019).

In this edition of The Movie Blues Sidepiece, the Dans muse over Punch Drunk Love, Uncut Gems, The Royal Tenenbaums, and High Fidelity, and Fiona Apple's new album

Rach and Dan read a letter from a quarantined co-host, take calls from regular listeners including Vin Diesel, and reveal which movie from quarantine shockingly brought Rachel to tears.
