The Projectors

For November’s theme of COMFORT FOOD we wanted to try and keep it clean. We didn’t even come close. Every episode says “fuck” at least 12 times. So many “shits”. There’s always a “cunt” popping up randomly. Revisiting and discussing films that meant a lot to our childhood just reminded as that we were also crude as children. So let’s get crude with a movie that actually meant a lot early in Bob an...

We’re dropping an episode every weekday this week to send off November’s theme of COMFORT FOOD and coast right into our Christmas selections. We start the week with Bob’s last nostalgia selection and there is truly none more nostalgic for a young Bob Sham than this ode to cartoon history in the form of a noir romp in the 1988 Robert Zemeckis film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” starring Bob Hoskins and...

For November’s theme of COMFORT FOOD we’re discussing the heartfelt fare of our moviegoing past as well as the sweet inspiration that is often found in movies where actors are portraying characters with intellectual disabilities. This discussion kinda goes both ways but we won’t say it’s overtly sweet. It may actually be one of the better portrayals of the sincerity and depression of a small town...

((NO SPOILERS)) - HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Stay home tonight. You don’t need a 50% off waffle maker. If your job is making you work on Thanksgiving then quit. Even if you work at a movie theater. You have our blessing. Thanksgiving is about being with family and eating too much and then falling asleep in front of the Lions game for an hour and then getting up and eating more. Be thankful for us because...

There isn’t much to grab onto out there when you need a good Thanksgiving themed movie. Off the top of my head there’s “Son in Law” with Pauly Shore. “Dutch” with Ed O’Neil. We got a new Eli Roth “Thanksgiving” slasher. The musical documentary “The Last Waltz” took place on Thanksgiving. “Hannah and Her Sisters” works but we’re not gonna make Angela watch any Woody Allen just yet. There is one tha...

November’s theme of COMFORT FOOD has got us chugging nostalgia straight out of the gravy boat. Every Monday this month we’re talking about a formidable movie from our youth and this one hits that sweet spot for both hosts. You’ve probably heard everyone between the ages of 36 and 46 quoting the hell out of this movie. If you’re one of our children then we’ve definitely forced you to watch it at so...

Admittedly, we’re in a strange hole with our film choices this month because we’ve watched some predictably saccharine and inspirational “challenged” movies in which actors play characters with intellectual disabilities. They don’t seem to get better. It’s supposedly COMFORT FOOD all month long and each movie cringes harder than the previous and we’ve reached the absolute valley with the prolifica...

The cinema of the mentally challenged as played by actors who are not mentally challenged is part of our family/inspirational selections for November’s theme of COMFORT FOOD. Maybe it’s 1999 and you met your mother for lunch at the Olive Garden by the mall and you decided to go see a movie and your mother sees that there’s a new Garry Marshall movie with Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi in it ca...

It’s COMFORT FOOD selections all month long and we’re getting nostalgic on Mondays so it’s Bob’s turn and he picked a movie that he was so unbelievably excited for as a child that we can say with all honesty that, for the rest of his life, he was probably never as excited for anything as we was excited for the feature film debut of “TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES” back in 1990. Directed by Steve Bar...

We keep it family style for November’s theme of COMFORT FOOD and what better way to keep it clean than watching movies where actors play mentally challenged characters? Unlike “Radio” and “Bill” this next choice is not based on a true story so all of this was as intentional as could possibly be. These movies are saccharine by nature but they might have to amputate your feet after this one. They re...

Open up your gullets because it’s time for some more mentally challenged COMFORT FOOD just as it should be for a November and it’s finally time to break the seal on a Made for TV movie. The true story of Bill Sackter is a brutal one about a boy, maybe a little slower than the other kids, being thrown away in an institution when he totally could have easily eked out a menial everyday life working a...

November’s theme is COMFORT FOOD and every Monday we go full nostalgic with a film from our childhood and why not start off the nostalgia episodes with a movie that defined a childhood (and child marketing) for an entire generation? Steven Spielberg was already pretty much Hollywood’s golden boy at the time and it was cemented into eternity upon the success of his heartfelt 1982 magnum opus “E.T....

For our MOVIE ROULETTE REVIEWS we draw movie categories from a hat and then select movies from a list pertaining to that category and for today’s review we picked a category called A CHALLENGING PERFORMANCE FOR EVERYBODY which is all about actors portraying people with intellectual disabilities and we fell upon the 2003 film “RADIO” directed by Mike Tollin and starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harr...

We’re finally getting around to our RANDOMLY GENERATED MOVIE REVIEW that we randomly picked after discussing Roman Polanski’s “Oliver Twist” several weeks ago and we’re going full-on DAD BONER THEATER because we’re gonna be cracking open our very first movie in the world of Tom “Fancy” Clancy. Yep. This is the most we’ve encountered of the fictional character known as Jack Ryan and this soft reboo...

We humped the hell out of Halloween yesterday and why not just go ahead and do an every weekday drop for this week as well? We’re long overdue to get back to the movies and we’re discussing a much hyped flick that came out about a week and a half ago. It’s based on the true story of systemic serial murder that happened some time after the Osage tribe found oil on some land they were shoved on to....

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! All month long, we dropped a different horror movie discussion every weekday and now we culminate to our grand HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST FINALE. There’s no better way to go out on our theme, on Halloween, by discussing the first six films in the iconic franchise created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. Yes. This episode we review: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1982), Halloween III: Se...

We’re feeling a little melancholy, not unlike Christopher Lee’s Dracula, because this will be the last Hammer Film Dracula movie we will discuss for HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST. Christopher Lee appears in three more Hammer Films as Dracula but Peter Sasdy’s 1970 film “TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA” will be our last for the season and perhaps that’s for the best because some of Dracula’s choices seem a little...

It’s HALLOWEEN HUMPEST and we’re humping around with a horror discussion every weekday this month and we’re capping off this week with a fucked up Austrian/German flick that was banned in many theaters in Europe as well as the United States. It was Gerald Kargl’s last and most notorious movie based on a true story. This movie didn’t even get widely distributed until the 2000s. We’re talking about...

It’s been a weird week in this final full week of HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST. It’s been some pretty crazed haunts and Michael J. Fox enterprising haunts and now we’re back to more crazed haunts in another Japanese feature that somehow, arguably, isn’t the weirdest shit we’re watching this week. Commercial director Nobukiko Obayashi was tapped by Toho Films to make whatever their own version of JAWS should...

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST stays humpin’ and this mid-week sub theme is “ghosts, spirits, and haunts” and we go for a bit lighter spooky fare with Peter Jackson’s 1996 comedy-horror “The Frighteners” starring Michael J. Fox as a man who can see ghosts and makes a buck off of it. There’s also Starkweather type antagonists and an FBI agent who is beyond absurd. This was Peter Jackson’s most mainstream movie...

It’s our last full week of HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and shit is about to get haunted as we drop what will probably be our strangest movie this month. We’re breaking the MOVIEHUMPERS seal on Takashi Miike and that should tell you most everything you need to know. This isn’t one of his kids movies. We’re deep diving into YAKUZA HORROR territory and for the love of God, don’t go to Nagoya. Don’t let your Y...

We’re returning for our penultimate Hammer Films Dracula feature this month and we aren’t with Terence Fisher this week, instead we check out an early director work by the acclaimed cinematogrpaher, Freddie Francis. Last we saw Dracula, his sad-ass fell into some ice. How does he get out of that pickle? Well, a sadder-ass priest slips on some rocks right outside of the castle and bleeds into crack...

We just can’t get enough Christopher Lee this month so let’s make it five and check out his “Austin Powers” look. You’re the most catholic Scottish cop on the planet. You’re literally abstaining sex until marriage like a madman. You get a letter telling you that a girl has been missing on a place called Summerisle. You go there alone. People are fucking out on their lawns. Children are laughing at...

HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST will end up being discussions of 27 different movies when it’s all said and done. Frankly, we’re already tired and we’re gonna lie down and go to sleep. Let the little fibers of the special plant touch our skin. We will dry up into husks and come back good and wet as fresh pod people. Ready to continue the show in a much more dead-eyed fashion. We pick Podworld. Remember when pe...

Second week into HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST and you might notice that our midweek theme is involving things from beyond the sky. Lethal space invaders that might want to suck your blood out with a one of those whacky straws that they just pull out of nowhere. The Chiodo brothers rocked us with some great looking creatures in this 1988 sci-fi horror cult classic, “Killer Klowns from Outer Space”. These Kil...
