You Watched It Wrong

CONTINUATION IS OUR MISSION!  In Part 2, Wade & Siggy Discuss their picks in the Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director Categories. Up Next: Best Picture!

It's Awards Season and you know what that means!

We're back! And movie-r than EVER!  Wade and Siggy break down their favorite films and give out their personal awards - the Siggies and Wadies - in celebration of the films of 2024. 

Wade and Siggy run down their ballots for the top Oscar categories, plus some of their own special awards, for the films of 2023.

WE REACHED THE 1980s, PEOPLE!!! After a long hiatus, Wade & Siggy return to discuss another Wacky Race entry: 1980's MIDNIGHT MADNESS.  Get ready for a diverse range of jokes: fat jokes, obese jokes, jokes about being overweight and the many, many reasons one becomes so fully packed: overeating. Plus reductive views on an entire gender! Tastemakers rejoice! Is there genuine humor to be found h...

In the last episode discussing 1979's Scavenger Hunt, Siggy promises a story about a sneeze.  Well, as with most promises, we forgot it until after our signature sign off. Luckily, our recording devices are smarter than we are and this tale about the origins of the scavenger hunt itself - that also involves a sneeze - can finally be presented to you for your listening pleasure...

Finally! It's HERE! The Wacky Races' raison d'etre has finally arrived and...sadly, it turns out to be 1979's Scavenger Hunt.  This film is currently hard to find, but - I don't know - maybe don't bother? Siggy and Wade watched it for you so you don't have to! And don't miss the exciting new induction into the Wacky Races' Two-Timer's Club!!! Our apologies for the delay in release. We needed the t...

A special phonesode! We take a break from our Wacky Races miniseries for a casual conversation about Ari Aster's latest nightmare horror comedy. (And Siggy now wishes he had thought to compare the ending to Brazil.)

Disney gets in on this Wacky Race action with the third installment in their Herbie the Love Bug franchise, starring Dean Jones, Don Knotts, Julie Sommars, and the The Young and the Restless-Guy!  More appropriately titled "Horn Dog Herbie" for reasons that will become apparent, this movie has everything: sexually aroused cars, necessary racing, unnecessary diamond heist subplots with liberal crib...

Wade & Siggy are THRILLED to be discussing this little-seen, barely written-about 1977 sequel to Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, also directed by Chantal Akerman. This follow-up finds Jeanne Dielman behind the wheel of a race car competing in the 24-hour endurance race of Le Mans.  Jeanne Dielman 1 made quite the stir after topping Sight & Sound's 2022 Best Films Poll, which b...

Wade and Siggy hand out their movie awards for the 2022 slate! Hear their picks for:   15. BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS 14. BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR 13. BEST ORIGINAL SONG (Siggy) / BEST MUSICAL SCORE (Wade) 12. BEST EDITING 11. BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY 10. BEST SEQUENCE 09. BEST ANIMATED FEATURE 08. BEST SCENE 07. BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY 06. BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY 05. BEST MOMENT 04. BEST ACTOR 03. BEST ACT...

The SEVENTH entry in our Wacky Races mini-series is (somewhat?) at the mid-point of our ever-growing exploration of ensemble movies centered on a competition where the rules of the game break the rules of society.  Wade & Siggy discuss the welcome spirit The Gumball Rally brings to the genre, how conflicts that are set up but never come into play are just fine, the raw sexuality of Raúl Juliá, whe...

A surprise gift for you! We start off with a quick recap of 2022 (even though we agreed before recording that weren't going to do that, and Wade says in the episode that we're not doing that), we talk about the Christmas movies and specials we've watched lately (such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Spirited), talk about our perennial favorites, and present our gifts using the magical power of podca...

Why should a cannonball run when it can fly! Well this Cannonball doesn't do that either, but it is our second straight entry starring David Carradine, perhaps best known for not lending his voice to never-produced Saturday morning cartoon "Kill Bill's Wacky Racers."   

Our Wacky Races series continues with its nastiest entry... but maybe its most cerebral? ... with the Roger Corman/Paul Bartel drive-in classic, DEATH RACE 2000.

Also known as Monte Carlo or Bust!, the fourth entry in our WACKY RACES series places your two favorite hosts back into cinematic care of director Ken Annakin in this follow up to Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. As Annakin brings the racing action from the sky down to the ground, will the movie have scenes that affect the rest of the movie in any way? Will this comedy have actual h...

An epic race deserves an epic episode, so Wade and Siggy are here to throw 4,000 pies in your ear. We may not have spent as much as Blake Edwards did on 1965's The Great Race, but we take at least as many detours, including bizarre and slanderous Hollywood rumors, great sweater-wearing action heroes, and some speculation about what exactly was happening under that blanket. Hit the play button, Max...

This second entry in the WACKY RACES mini-series tests the mettle of your intrepid hosts by barely qualifying for this series' criteria and barely being a comedy. Siggy provides the much needed context to place this film into the larger cinema history and significance, while Wade wrestles with his sense of self as an open-hearted cinephile which is profoundly challenged by this film.  Next Episode...

We kick off our Wacky Races miniseries with the seminal, star-studded, stunt-stuffed spectacular that started it all, Stanley Kramer's comedy epic It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. It's a race to see if the movie or the podcast contains more actual jokes!

Wade and Siggy are embarking on a new, epic journey through the subgenre of wacky race movies, and they hope you'll come along for the ride. We'll go from It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, through various incarnations of The Cannonball Run, and all the way to Rat Race, hitting some more obscure entries in between. It's gonna be a fun year if the wheels don't fall off first!

Wade and Siggy wax cinemasophical about two movies co-written by Sjón: 2021's Lamb and 2022's The Northman. They also mourn Wade’s never-coming very special episode on the Death Wish movies, discuss Siggy’s theories on Dirty Harry, Master of the Universe’s love of hyphens, how watching Body Double far too young affects people, their desire to see "Bob Egger’s Northman Babies" come to fruition and...

Wade and Siggy were so excited to talk about the latest Sam Raimi/MCU collab/collision that they couldn't wait to get to their respective studios, so eavesdrop on this phone call (phone call!) where they discuss straining to look smart, alternate movie titles, and where this ranks in the Cloaky filmography.

Siggy & Wade attempt a new format to discuss the year in film that was 2021... and they're never doing it this way again! So enjoy it now, as it's the upside-down plane/misprinted stamp of year-end review shows!
