A decade under the influence

This is a fun one, maybe not the best audio that we've every done but what a film. This week we invite several friends over to watch Disco Godfather. A film about the dangers of PCP and the fun and sexyness of disco dancing. Another film by Rudy Ray Moore and his low budget high entertainment production company. This time we find Rudy running the hottest club in town. He's about to find out about...

Here’s where we go where many podcasters have gone before. We attempt to dive deep into Star Trek the motion picture 1979. This is one of two and quite possibly 3 Robert Wise Picures we’ll be watching and reviewing, and the only Star Trek film we’ll be doing.(70’s podcast) Now I thought that this would be great. Just 2 trek fans and 1 super trek fan rapidly talking trek and being amazing through t...

Gordon Parks does it again! I would have loved to have known him and been able to hang out with him at such a productive period of his life. Whether photographing the Black Panthers or making movies like Shaft, Super Cops, and today's film Leadbelly. He does such a great job grabbing people from the past or his present to tell important stories. — Brian W Martz <B.Martz@Genie.com> described...

Welcome to our first short- It’s only a lil weird and confusing, but we believe that viewing and reviewing this 1980 Siskel and Ebert episode can really aid in explaining why we will not watch and review certain films that some may consider classics. Siskel and Ebert were dueling film critics at the 2 biggest Chicago papers the tribune and the sun times. This show sneak previews ran on channel 11...

Ok Here now is our feature length commentary of the greatest rampaging teenagers film of all time, in my humble opinion. Better jump in the bushes because here’s 1979’s Over the Edge. Oh it’s so destructive! Teens living in a sterile planned community with only a rec center to hang out in, proceed to lose their flippin minds when it closes due to “the man” Matt Dillon is here in his first film . D...

So we cheated a little bit this week but you will definitely benefit  from it because Ordinary People is amazing! A movie about living with  the death of a brother, the guilt of surviving, and having to deal with a  Sociopath/Narcissist as a parent. This film gets brilliant performances  from everyone involved and is written in the voice of someone who has  been through th...

What if there was a secret so important it was weorth threatening the end of the world to release?
