On the BiTTE

Ryan is slowly realizing that we cover plenty of films he enjoys and rates quite highly. Continuing with that streak, we look at Neil Jordan's THE CRYING GAME , starring Stephen Rea, Jay Davison, Miranda Richardson and Forest Whitaker. This episode is filled with some true revelations, as you listen to a man in real-time that "Rea" is pronounced "Ray". He always thought it was pronounced "Ree-a". ...

A Room With a View (1985), directed by James Ivory, has not just one, but THREE penises in it. Also, so many balls. Join us as we welcome our first guest, a friend of the podcast: Miriam Ruckert. There were just too many penises for Ryan and Laura to discuss alone.  All that fuss over a room? I mean, it's a nice view and everything but really? Times were much simpler back then. All you had to worr...

The Terminator (1984), our 2nd film of 2022! We get to break down Arnold Schwarzenegger's only full-frontal nude scene, but it's just an excuse for us to chat about The Terminator , which is obviously (spoilers) a 5-star film. James Cameron's (essentially) directorial debut, and an instant classic. Join us while we revel in the GLORY that is 1984's The Terminator.  

Red Rocket (2021) was such a great film to go see in the cinema. We urge you to go check it out if it's playing in a theatre near you, as long as you feel safe. Did you hear? Simon Rex is BACK. He's back, and he's naked. 

Wild Things (1998) is a film that we couldn't wait to record. This film has a legacy that precedes itself. The best part is...Ryan had never seen this film. Can you believe it?

We made it! We actually made it! We got to the end of the year and survived 2021! And we've achieved what we set out to achieve; start a podcast and deliver it every two weeks to our beautiful audience. But there's more. In this Wee BiTTE we outline what it is we hope to achieve in 2022, be it with less of a crippling feeling of despondency, we go into the New Year much more hopeful. Thank you all...

Eastern Promises (2007), is our very first David Cronenberg film! And the indent that Ryan made for this is truly spectacular. He’s really outdone himself with this one. We’ve been waiting to review this film for a long time, as it is famously infamous, and also we wanted to wait because it is, of course, a Christmas movie. Some may argue, more Christmas-y than Die Hard (1988). Grab a bottle of Ru...

The Power of the Dog (2021) is our 13th episode and an extra special extra episode! There had been rumors about full-frontal in this movie, and it delivered, kind of. You'll need to listen to find out. Also, watch the movie on Netflix!

One Hour Photo (2002), directed by Mark Romanek, is our second Robin Williams film, but he’s not the nudeman. Romanek has only directed 3 films, and this is his second. I wish we had more Romanek in our cinemas, but until then we’ll need to treasure this one. I would be surprised if you haven’t seen it, but we had a fantastic time talking about it. It’s streaming on HBO Max (at least as of 11/29/2...

Sideways (2004), directed by Alexander Payne, is pretty darn good. It certainly has one of the wildest full-frontal nude scenes we've covered to date. Join us while we discuss nothing about wine, but a lot about daytime soap operas. 

Bad Lieutenant (1992). What episode is this? Nine? Well, it didn’t take us too long to dive into one of the world’s most famous dick scenes, and the father of all male nudity, or may I call him Penis Papa?: Harvey Keitel. I need to make a #penispapa for my IG posts… Directed by Abel Ferrara, this is a visceral, hard-to-watch film that is truly unforgettable. I laughed when I was uncomfortable, whi...

An American Werewolf in London (1981), an absolutely favorite and a classic from John Landis. And, potentially, from what I’ve researched, the ONLY full-frontal male nudity we’ve ever gotten from Landis. This particular scene caused David Naughton to lose his long-time job as Dr. Pepper’s resident singing-and-dancing mascot. Join us, as always, as we dissect, indulge, and ruminate on our last Hall...

Danny Boyle only gone and done it again! He made another movie with a dick in it. It just so happens that it falls into the "spooky penis month" because he had a crack at ole' faithful...The Zombie Flick! This one's different because the zombies run in this one... and... em... uh... Did I mention the zombies run in this one? Don't forget, it's spooky season, and #SpookyPenisMonth continues!

Night of the Demon (1980) is a terrible movie you can watch for free on YouTube! It involves a Bigfoot, and a scene that can only be described as...blood everywhere.  Holy mother of God! He's coming! He's coming to get you! The Demon! Or more accurately Bigfoot. A really angry Bigfoot. This is the angry Bigfoot movie and he's absolutely furious. The sole outing from Director James C. Wasson; an ul...

Trainspotting (1996) wasn't Ewan McGregor's first foray into full-frontal, and certainly not his last.  Join us as we breakdown this film, along with the early works of Danny Boyle. 

Have you seen The Fisher King (1991)? You should, and you will certainly enjoy surfing through this film with us. The 4th episode of the podcast, we delve into how this film got made and how it ended up in Gilliam's lap, along with the casting choices, and of course, the nudity choices. This is the first full-frontal nudity that Robin Williams had ever done, but it's certainly not his last. 

Steve Zahn naked? Nope! HBO has had a tendency to supply the audience with prosthetic phalli and even body doubles. We discuss the fake penis in Mike White's new series The White Lotus . This episode was recorded for YouTube, but you can listen here, too!

2003: a wonderful year. The same year both Ryan and I graduated from high school, the year Chicago (2002) weirdly won Best Picture at the Academy Awards (even though Sam Raimi’s glorious Spider-Man was also released). 2 Fast 2 Furious came out, as well as Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King , I mean, what total gems we were gifted…and then In the Cut . Ryan may never forgive me, but what mak...

Find this video episode on YouTube! But you can also listen here, on the go, audio only. Enjoy as we, in a SPOILER FREE fashion, chat about The Suicide Squad (2021). Why? Because it has a dick in it!

What an absolute gem, this one. I’m glad William Friedkin is a man who will never give up, and will give jobs to people like William Petersen so we can now enjoy him in…how many seasons of CSI ? Fifteen? Jesus. I also love this movie, and I hope you go buy this if you don’t already own it. The Arrow Video release is incredible. If you don’t want to own it for whatever reason, although you should r...

Color of Night (1994) is an erotic thriller starring Bruce Willis and Jane March, directed by Richard Rush. This was the film that really gave us the kick in the pants to start this podcast. It is a wild, confusing ride, that is both satisfying and bewildering.  As of today, in order to watch the Director’s Cut, you’ll need to purchase it. We recommend Kino Lorber’s Blu-ray release, which has both...

Discover how Laura and Ryan met, the origins of this idea, and where we're going to go from here. STAY TUNED every other Friday for a new episode.
