Kino Klash

Ho-Ho-Ho! Merry Christmas in July! We're at the halfway mark of the year and it never hurts to celebrate! We definitely didn't forget to post this 7 months ago and then had to sit on it until the first semi appropriate time to release it. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

"I don’t believe there is pleasure in life. I believe there is only relief of pain… We have to suffer to be on top." - Georges St. Pierre

Klashers, this episode is filled to the brim with English pride. No one here is English, but boy do they make a good picture! We've got Alex bringing out the big guns with "Casino Royale" playing a high-stakes game against Kyle's maritime masterpiece "Master and Commander: Far Side of the World."

WELCOME TO THE NASTY STASH... It's time we got gross here and started watching some real Bad movies (besides the ones Kyle already picked). In this episode we go through our respective bad movie lists and pick our first batch of 3! (expect these to be posted on off weeks) GET NASTY, KLASHERS

What more is there to say? This is is the WWII episode to end all WWII episodes! A pitched match between bitter rivals!

In another cursed match-up, we have What We Do in the Shadows (Ryan's #10) bearing its fangs at Do the Right Thing (Kyle's #7). Not a ton of common ground here between these two movies, but you better believe we tried our best! Also... YOP! Alert! CrAcK open your favorite flavor of Yoplait's famous Yop! drink and SLURRRP it up!

Here we go Klashers! Our first 1 v. 16 match-up! We've got Kyle's strange trip down depression-era child murder up against Brenden's struggle of youth creativity - I'll let you guess which is which ;) Also Kyle and Alex are sharing a tin-can-on-a-string for this episode. Yay.

Who'd win in a fight? Jackie Chan or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? These are the hard hitting questions we like to ask here at Kino Klash HQ. To find the answer we pit Ryan's No. 2 pick, Amadeus, against Brenden's No. 15 seed, Dragon's Forever.

Truly the Ali v. Foreman of match ups here at Kino Klash. Who could ever imagine Satoshi Kon's brilliant, visionary "Paprika" (Ryan's pick) duking it out against everyone's favorite Star Wars movie - the seventh one (Alex's pick).

If anyone is curious - Mad Max is up against the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Not the other Life Aquatic.

The old, dusty military movies special! We've got Kyle's WWII Feel Good Comedy??? (Twelve O'Clock High) up against Alex's Anti-War Vietnam Best Picture Winner (Platoon)! In this episode: -Alex calls in via his classic "bent-tin-can and shoe-string" method. -Ryan becomes President of the "Dark" -Kyle and Brenden compete over how lame their childhoods were.

In the FIRST MATCH UP OF THE SEASON we pit Ryan's 4 seed (The Thing) against Kyle's 13 seed (The Grand Budapest Hotel). In this episode: - Alex declares a blood feud with Ralph Fiennes - Kyle reminisces about a The Thing (2011) slumber party - Ryan declares his love for the long-neck-trunk-man

After a loooooooooooooooong holiday break (where we may have each been Kramped by the Krampus) Kino Klash is BACK with SEASON 2 Y'all! In this episode: - The boys share this season's BRAND NEW movie rankings - Ryan tries to meta-game - Alex plays a devious trick (chaos ensues)

This episode has nothing to do with Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge

A winner will be decided. Gang, We got tired. We tried - we really did. We shortened episodes. Tried to make it so we didn't have to rewatch movies. Bought a bar! But we just couldn't get our hearts into it. So in one last grand explosion, we just went for it. Episode 44 is the finale of Kino Klash season 1.  On a more genuine note for anyone who reads these, it really does mean a lot to u...

1 seed Her v. 9 seed Paddington 2

5 seed Inside v. 14 seed City of God Should be v. The Sisters Brothers but everyone is a coward. SMH

4 Seed Children of Men v. 5 seed Steve Jobs

10 seed Akira v. 15 seed Moon Don't worry gang, now that we started doing these shorter episodes, you can tell we're really cooking! We can keep this up forever!

3 seed Whiplash v. 6 seed Interstellar A rare Alex v. Alex matchup!

6 seed The Green Mile v. 14 seed Push I'm tired boss.

11 seed Leon: The Professional v. 14 seed In Bruges Still in the Bar and still having a great time!

1 seed 1917 v. 8 seed Citizen Kane A VERY rare Kyle v. Kyle matchup. But more importantly, with all the proceeds we've made from the podcast (which is to say, a lot) the four of us got together and founded the Kino Klash Bar (a working title). Now it's not the easiest place to find, but all of our true fans got there in no time. Looking at you Chris Nolan!

1 seed Inception v. 9 seed Donnie Darko Listeners, I acted poorly in this episode. I value you your time and experience. Please forgive me. . . . . . . . . . . . . . psyche

7 seed Alien v. 15 seed Good Time In hindsight, perhaps we were a bit premature in our last description...
