Southern Fried Cinema Siblings

Whatever happened to the great American drunk uncle? Our Halloween episode is the Stephen King's 1985 werewolf cult classic Silver Bullet, Gary Busey delivers one of cinema's finest examples of this increasingly forgotten character archetype: Uncle Red. Join the Southern Fried Cinema Siblings as we revisit Silver Bullet (1985) and celebrate the magnificent, imperfect institution of the chaotic goo...

The siblings revist the 1997 comedy classic Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and ask a simple question: When did we lose the art of laughing at everyone? With its outrageous characters, brilliant colors, and unapologetically ridiculous humor, Austin Powers reminds us of a time when nobody was above being the butt of a joke. But somewhere along the way, comedy became a minefield of griev...

This week, the Southern Fried Cinema Siblings revisit the 1983 cult classic Krull, a spectacular blend of sword and sorcery, science fiction, and fantasy. But beneath the epic adventure lies something Hollywood seems to have forgotten: a beautiful romance built on masculine heroism, feminine virtue, loyalty, and the transformative power of marriage. From honorable bandits to fire-breathing romance...

In this week's episode the Southern Fried Cinema Siblings review the 2010 Martin Scorsese neo noir psychological thriller, Shutter Island. After watching it the siblings have to wonder, is the big reveal in the end the truth? Or just another lie in the MK Ultra inspired masterpiece set in the middle of the 20th century. And is all of it simply more propaganda in the great American psyop? #martinsc...

If politics is downstream of culture, then who controls the culture.? In this episode Lorelei and Space Deviant ask themselves that question and theorize on the possible causes behind the modern intersectionalist agendas that have taken root in almost all entertainment. #westernculture #hollywood #culturewar #moviereviews #filmreview https://linktr.ee/SouthernFriedCinema ...

In this seventh episode on Nolan's Odyssey, Lorelei plays at one of her favorite games: Theory Crafting. In an attempt to make the Odyssey a fundamentally better movie, the Siblings explore what the movie could have been if Nolan had added an element from the classic Vietnam War psychological horror thriller, Jacob's Ladder. #nolan #odyssey #theorycraft #moviereviews #filmreview https://linktr.ee/...

In this sixth episode in the sibling campaign against Nolan's subversion of this piece of dynamic Western cultural heritage, Lorelei points out that Nolan's cowardice and fear of death seems to pollute the whole of the narrative. Her brother Space Deviant chalks it up to the general subversive narrative that has seemingly infected all of Hollywood. #nolan #odyssey #culturewar #moviereviews #filmre...

In this fifth episode in the Siblings series on Nolan's Odyssey, Lorelei accuses Nolan of purposely making the world of the Odyssey impossible to get lost in. From the aggressively bad soundtrack to casting anyone but native Greeks. Space Deviant agrees that this movie looks like it should be in East LA California, not the Ithica of centuries past. But why would Nolan want to abuse lovers of Weste...

In this fourth episode in the Siblings series on Nolan's Odyssey, they look at the original Homeric story and examine the concepts of power and consent between the mortal Odysseus, Circe and Calypso. Nolan did his best to obscure any of the original, selfish sultry desires of the goddesses. But our Cinema Siblings ask the hard questions, could Odysseus consent to a goddess? Why did Nolan remove th...

In the third installment of the Odysseus collection, the siblings review how Nolan fundamentally changed his Hero. No longer the overly proud Homeric Odysseus, Matt Damon's character would be more at home slogging through a 70's era Vietnam jungle scape. His listless apathy and aversion to war and violence take the once proud Greek tale and give it a post modern Marxist twist. Like any middle aged...

Lorelei has taken aim at Nolan's Circe. Replacing Homer's hotties with middle aged mids is only the dastardly director's original sin. The siblings leave nothing but scorched earth against these toothless witchy women, going from powerful, sensual agents of evil to aged victims of virtual violence. The first of many episodes to come breaking down the many faults in this epically bad retelling of t...

Lorelei is fit to be tied at Nolan's obsequious Odyssey. The first of many episodes to come breaking down the many faults in this epically bad retelling of the Homeric epic. But in this first episode the Siblings discuss the concept of Xenia, both the true Greek definition and Nolan's new woke definition. #nolan #odyssey #culturewar #moviereview #filmreview https://linktr.ee/SouthernFriedCinemaSib...

This week Lorelei and Space Deviant take on the 1998 scifi classic, Dark City. An inspiration to the Matrix, this star studded film is the story of John Murdock, a man without memories caught in a strange, every changing world of perpetual night. But in this essay, Lorelei argues that the true hero of the tale is Inspector Frank Bumstead, a relentless detective in the style of 1940's noir. Join th...

The Siblings sat through Citizen Vigilante, so you don't have to. This (2026) schlockfest was written and directed by Uwe Boll and starting the notorious Armie Hammer. Lorelei is none too pleasing knowing what Armie looks like during the petite death and rakes him over the coals for the completely useless, but salacious sex scene. Though the siblings disagree on what to do about the greater issue...

Our Cinema Siblings discuss the origins, objectives and cultural aspects of the post modern "Woke" intersectional Marxist influence that has infiltrated Hollywood to it's deepest core. But Lorelei proposes that the root goes back to the very genesis of Hollywood (perhaps by practitioners of Frankism?) Only temporarily held at bay by the morally upright Catholic influences of the Hays code. But whe...

Our Cinema Siblings review Tombstone, Lorelei's favorite Western movie. Where she puts forth the theory that when good men refuse to lead, evil runs rampant and society crumbles. Kurt Russell's Wyatt Earp is that perfect example of the hero refusing the call to adventure (at least at first). Whereas Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday might be the most likeable anti hero of all time. https://linktr.ee/South...

During the Siblings annual rewatch of the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition, Lorelei noticed how Eowyn's damaged warrior princess story had become the blueprint for every sword and sorcery boss babe in the last two decades. But according to her, Peter Jackson left out the most important part of Eowyn's story, at least from the version released in the theatre. Space Deviant puts forth his argument...

Lorelei and Space Deviant review the Netflix Western drama created by Kurt Sutter. Filled with filler, hollow girlbosses, emasculated men, and enough historical snafus for the these Southern Fried Cinema Siblings to suspect that there is actually a hidden story within this pathetic excuse for a Western. ....it's secretly about the far more interesting side character, Miles Alderton - played by the...

With Disclosure Day in theaters, the Siblings review Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking cinematic ode to UFOs. Giving credit to it's next level cinematography and special effects while discussing the possible interpretations of the storyline as well as mulling some of the alleged conspiracy theories that surround the acclaimed director's life and body of work. ht...

The siblings take a look at this 1989 post apocalyptic, and utterly underrated masterpiece, The Blood of Heroes. Written and directed by David Peoples, it is his Magnum Opus and according to Lorelei's personal head canon set far in the future of the Blade Runner universe. https://linktr.ee/SouthernFriedCinemaSiblings Social Media Spotify open.spotify.com/show/2EJjXfVQ9nHa3lLMWh3Hu4 Instagram SOUTH...

Lorelei goes further down the David Peoples writing rabbit hole and introduces her brother Soldier, a movie set in the Blade Runner universe. Space Deviant appreciates both Blade Runner and a classic hero's story and they both marvel at how well the movie had aged compared with it's CGI laden counterparts. https://linktr.ee/SouthernFriedCinemaSiblings Social Media Spotify open.spotify.com/show/2EJ...

Charlie Sheen starts in this 90's classic about global warming, secret alien invasions and the worst neighbors. The siblings discuss whether or not this movie was a premeditated tool of the global elite or just a classic scifi tale. https://linktr.ee/SouthernFriedCinemaSiblings Social Media Spotify open.spotify.com/show/2EJjXfVQ9nHa3lLMWh3Hu4 Instagram SOUTHERNFRIEDCINEMASIBLINGS https://www.insta...

Lorelei lets loose with her theory: The Female Gaze, is in reality - The Gay Gaze. Space Deviant shares her annoyance with too much D on TV and longs for the days of 1980's T&A. The question remains, who is this kind of content serving? and why?

The Siblings review George R.R. Martin's HBO epic, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Surprising in that unlike much of modern day content, this story doesn't portray all men as inherently evil. Lorelei lingers on the different darling menfolk of Westeros while Space Deviant lets it be known that a mere three hours, is hardly a proper series. https://linktr.ee/SouthernFriedCinemaSiblings Social Media...

Watch as the siblings discuss Sidekicks, the classic kids movie that combines, actions, adventure, morals and most importantly - Chuck Norris. Lorelei laments how far modern kids movies have fallen, while Space Deviant discussed the death of the training montage and not being perfect just the way you are. https://linktr.ee/SouthernFriedCinemaSiblings Social Media Spotify open.spotify.com/show/2EJj...
