Films & Filth

Well we're back on Nazis again for #43 on the "good list", but it isn't occupied Poland this time, now it's occupied Los Angeles. We go over this critical darling that none of us really want to watch again and discuss whether it's aged well, whether Tony Kaye or Edward Norton should've had final cut, and lots of other uncomfortable things.

Shaq is back for #43 on the bad list for Kazaam! No, Shazaam featuring Sinbad isn't real, but Shaq's rap career is, and it takes up a lot of this film when you aren't watching a snarky kid try and reconcile with his sleazy dad and something something wishes magic comedy candy bars. We didn't exactly hate this one and one of us liked it better than Steel, and it may only be on the bad list because...

Coming in at #44 on the good list is The Pianist, we have Brian Lonano back on and we're back in World War II for a true story about a Polish pianist who survived....WWII Poland. It's a bleak one and none of us are all that great at stumbling through our feelings, but we all really liked the film and it's an interesting comparison with Come and See and Schindler's List (although most of us haven't...

#44 on the bad list is a creepy internet cash-in, no not Backrooms, that film is actually good. We discuss Slender Man (2018, we have to specify because there are several)  and how bad it is, and if it had any chance of being good, and also what a creepypasta is and how it doesn't make a good film and how maybe you shouldn't make a movie about a real killing and then cut a bunch out of it Support...

For #45, The Intouchables (NOT The Untouchables), we head to France for the only time on the good list. Mark thinks this is kind of weird so he looks into it and finds out things about the good list that send him down a rabbit hole to madness and vintage prison break films. We have mixed feelings about France and about this movie and about the good list on the whole so listen to us work through ou...

#45 on the bad list is pretty bad. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, none of us liked it, it made us feel pretty bad, we were all pretty angry, we were all cranky poop emojis about it and not in a Patrick Stewart way. At least one of us thought it was the worst movie they ever saw. But did this result in a good podcast? Yes. Support us at our podcasting network, Podcastio Podcastius at https://www.patre...

We've been so hard on the first Sergio Leone entry on the list that at one point we banned ourselves from talking about it. Do we feel the same about this one? Spoiler alert: no. We talk about westerns, progress, trains, revenge, Bronson, and ponder what the hell Sergio Leone's deal was.

Mercy joins us to discuss this Twilight parody but also Twilight itself, because at this point all of us have watched Twilight and some of us have very strong opinions about it, you might be surprised (and you might not). This is number two of six of the dreaded Friedberg/Seltzer parodies and we are just very fortunate to have a different movie to talk about this time. Make sure to go back and lis...

John Champion of Mission Log joins us once again for this film about WWII that you've definitely heard of and have definitely heard quotes from and heard the song from, but there are a lot of things you probably didn't know about it. There's a lot to get into about this film that represents peak studio system that we all enjoyed, as well as a little Star Trek DS9 chat, so make sure not to miss you...

Andrew Shearer from Gonzoriffic swings by to help us drop the hammer on some weapons manufacturers, most of us liked this extremely tall superhero movie and we talked about a lot of other superhero stuff, Marvel and non-Marvel, and Mark will not stop speculating about what Shaq allegedly did in the locker room.

We usually complain that we have nothing to talk about for good list movies but this is one of the longest episodes of our pod ever, we talk about Psychos 2-4, the remake, Diabolique, The Shining, lots of other slasher and horror movies, and of course Godzilla movies. What are our big takeaways? There are a lot so carve out 75 minutes of your schedule and put your stabbing dress on. Support us at...

We dive into the "best" of the Friedberg/Seltzer parody films, six of which are on the bottom half of the "bad list" and the "worst" of which sits at Number 1. Did we hate this one? Well at least one of us did, but we're just getting started.

I'm not crying, you're crying! We go over one of the saddest things which we were all dreading watching, but don't worry, there's plenty to talk about aside from crushing brutal sadness, such as the interesting polymath who wrote the story and the extremely methodical guy who directed the film, and of course some Miyazaki too. And if you're wondering, you don't have to watch the film to listen if...

The news just broke that Netflix made less original content in Q1 2026 than any time in the past 8 years and this film came out 8 years ago, so the pattern is there. There aren't many spoilers about the film because nothing happens so it's definitely safe to listen to this podcast without watching it, which is good because it isn't even on Netflix anymore. Probably also isn't a spoiler to say that...

Mark is back to wrap up talking about all the movies he wasn't here for in this finale to the trilogy that nobody asked for. Not exactly an April Fools' episode but it's the closest thing we had lying around.

Happy birthday to Matt! Belated birthday, ok very very belated (scheduling is hard) we are talking about a movie that features and was partially conceived by Bob Dylan in 2003(!) with a murderer's row of stars and directed by the guy who would later make Borat. Is it weird? How could it not be? It's Matt's birthday pick! Next week we're back to the list for the second half(ish) of it. Support us a...

We're at the end of the fast and furious road for now, as we talk about the film that was supposed to be part one of the finale whose cliffhanger may get resolved in one movie, two movies, or something completely different, I guess we'll tentatively see you for Fast Forever in 2028, but before that we're getting back to the top 100 and bottom 100 rated films on IMDB  Support us at our podcasting n...

Matt is out sick this week because this movie was too much for his immune system. Mark and Luke talk about Torettos punching holes in buildings, favorite characters returning from the dead, cars going to space, magnets making stuff fly around, this film has it all.

Suddenly Dom is a criminal! No not like that, he's not stealing DVD players, he's stealing nuclear launch codes. But for family, just not the family he can talk about right now. But really you're asking yourself "do they actually launch a nuke?" and also "is that even close to the biggest action set piece in the film?" and you'll just have to listen to find out. Support us at our podcasting networ...

You thought this franchise had peaked already? Think again. Cars parachute out of airplanes, drive between buildings, you get two head on collisions, Dom lifts a car, there's another computer chip that does something, and we're on our second Shaw of many. Rest in power Paul Walker, we'll see you again (digitally) Support us at our podcasting network, Podcastio Podcastius at https://www.patreon.com...

There's a baby now so the family's bigger, but so are the stakes, and so are the explosions, and so are the fights, and so is that tank and that plane and so on, and for the first time we have a Hobbs and a Shaw together onscreen (not that Shaw though, not yet)  Friend of the pod Devin Carlen joins us because a big movie deserves a big podcast.

For this one it's not the quality of the fast but the quantity, and all the furious is wrapped up in one frustrated and problematic truck driver. We take a break from the break we were taking from the main podcast to get into this 1954 Roger Corman-produced tawdry crime flick, because there's nothing better than diverting from the scenic route to take another, slower scenic route.
