Fiasco Family Movie Night

The Fiasco Family welcomes Charlotte, from It’s Just a Show, to discuss three rom-coms for the Valentine’s Day return of Fiasco Family Movie Night!

The Fiasco Family is joined by Bill Smiley to talk about moral panics, evidence of satanic rituals, and why Sean still holds a grudge against Tom Hanks.

The Fiasco Family ponders the Devil’s Yearbook as they discuss the 1975 horror flop The Devil’s Rain.

Mike Bockoven returns to help the Fiascos determine how improbable it is that Starship Troopers turned out to be brilliant satire.

The Fiascos sign up to earn their citizenship and tour the healing tank facilities as they contemplate Paul Verhoeven’s upside-down adaptation Starship Troopers (1997).

The Fiascos bring back Melissa Kaercher to talk more about the making of a flop. Buckle up for more discussion of Hudson Hawk!

The Fiascos understand hubris, and sometimes they even admire it. This time they chase the hawk—Hudson Hawk (1991)—and try to uncover what went wrong… and what went weirdly right!

Paul Leni and Leo Birinsky’s Waxworks (1924).

The Fiascos watch the proceedings in a sensational courtroom drama, in Billy Wilder's Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution (1957).

The Fiascos detect radioactivity from the breakdown of the American family in Ray Milland’s 1962 apocalyptic film Panic in Year Zero. It’s the perfect cheery note to start off our 3rd season!

The Fiascos have some announcements about changes for their 3rd season! They also spend considerable time answering a few questions from listeners.

The Fiascos are joined by Melissa Kaercher to end their second season by discussing Larry Cohen’s 1976 alien messiah movie God Told Me To. It’s going to get a little grind-housey.

The Fiascos try to unravel the place of the evil Dr. Mabuse in the history of masterminds, as they cover the banned 1933 film The Testament of Dr. Mabuse.

Michael Reeves’ Witchfinder General (1968): It’s not the Vincent Price performance you want; it’s the one you didn't know you needed.

Two players vie for the lowest stakes imaginable in the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.

The Fiascos take afternoon tea to chat about Anna Biller’s magical 2016 film, The Love Witch.

Hilary Braley joins the Fiascos to talk about voodoo and vengeance in the high octane zombie film Sugar Hill.

Tim Gerolami guests as the Fiascos discuss Guy Maddin’s 2006 film Brand Upon the Brain! It’s 97% true! Emotionally.

The Atomic Weight of Cheese crew joins the Fiascos to try to make sense of the cinematic debacle Roar, a film that proved that maybe you should not film with untrained animals or filmmakers.

Fact is fiction and fiction may as well be truth in this documentary about deception by Orson Welles.

The Fiasco Brothers pile into their bus and head to the Appalachians for the anthology film about the cult fiction hero, The Legend of Hillbilly John!

The Fiasco Brothers cross the Iron Curtain to learn about the bittersweet reunification comedy Good Bye, Lenin!

A long overdue Hollywood break, an Oscar nod for Cannon films, and a super-Faustian bargain are discussed when The Fiasco Brothers watch Street Smart.

In 1984, history was made. A Walter Hill film flopped. With the assistance of Chad Plambeck of The Atomic Weight of Cheese, we take a tour of the Streets of Fire and discuss what went wrong, what went right, and why we love it.

The Fiasco Brothers pack up their fishing gear and pick up a stranger for a tense ride through the desert as they discuss Ida Lupino’s 1953 noir classic The Hitch-Hiker.
