In this week's episode of Fargo, the drug war is heating up... wait, I think I've said that before. In fact, it's been heating up for at least half the season now. And while things have certainly progressed, with bodies in the streets and gang shootings in the papers, the ambition of this season's storytelling make it somehow feel like the war is still simmering away on the back burner with just a...

This might be the last time they let street guys like us handle any podcasts this valuable. We've had a good run of Scorsese films this year (Goodfellas, The Irishman, The Wolf of Wall Street) but there's only so much gas is in the Scorsese tank. We canceled our Raging Bull 40th anniversary podcast because we just couldn't fit it in. Jim's pumping the breaks on reviewing any more gangster films in...

There's an ironic quality to the name of this episode, The Nadir, given that the previous two episodes were our least favorite of the season. This episode is a return to form with some excellent Raylan Gi-- er, Marshal Deafy scenes, a lot more action in the gang war, and trouble all around for nurse Mayflower. Join us for the podcast to get our full take. Hey there! Check out our Club Bald Move pa...

Another connective episode that has been chopped and screwed from other episodes into its final form leaves us not dissatisfied, but not exactly blown away either. We hear good things about the remainder of the season though, so the pace should pick up from here on out. Join us for a discussion of the episode as well as some corrections and questions from the listeners. Join the discussion: Email ...

This week's episode feels a little disjointed, probably for good reason, and we decide to take the opportunity to get some things about this season of Fargo off our chests. It's not all gloom and doom though, as we also talk about the interesting plot developments and some of the things we enjoyed.

Wait a sec, I thought this movie was called "Leon the Professional"? Well, apparently that's only true if you're in France. In America, it's just called "The Professional," while in the UK and Australia they get to call it just "Leon." Luckily, the actual movie is far less fickle, and far less horny toward it's preteen protagonist depending, again, on where you live. Join us for a breakdown and di...

Martin Scorsese's wild Wall St. ride shares a lot of the energy of his classic gangster film, Goodfellas. In our podcast review, we discuss those similarities, as well as the love/hate relationship we have with a film that might be too much fun for its own good. *apologies for the sound issues in the beginning.

It's the 30th Anniversary of the gangster classic, Goodfellas. Martin Scorsese has a long history making gangster movies. We covered his latest one, The Irishman, already but now we're going back to cover his most famous one. It's a wild ride, beginning with the Marty insight into the allure of the criminal underworld that you've come to expect and culminating in one of the all-time great scenes o...

Charlie Kaufman's new film is out on Netflix right now and we've decided that it's a good idea to cover a movie about general anxiety, hopelessness and the futility of life while we're in a full-blown lockdown pandemic.

After directing The Witch, one of the most unsettling horror movies of the last decade Robert Eggers has done it again with The Lighthouse, a film that defies description. Willem Defoe and Robert Pattinson both deliver astounding performances in this largely underrated tale about two lighthouse attendants ("wickies") who have to make the best of a bad situation.

We're back with another movie. This time it's Wes Anderson's Sophmore effort, Rushmore. Written by Anderson and his frequent collaborator and childhood friend, Owen Wilson, it bears all the hallmarks of a Wes Anderson project, though it's a bit less polished than his future films.

Today we're talking 1961's The Hustler, which might just be the greatest movie about the game of pool that has ever been made. Starring Paul Newman, Piper Laurie, and George C. Scott, it's a tale of an up-and-coming pool hustler trying to make it big but, more importantly, it's the story of a man trying to figure out what makes a person a "winner".

Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of Christopher Nolan's dreamscape heist film, Inception. We covered it immediately after its initial release and 10 years later we're back to do it all over again. I assume we'll hit level three in about 90 more years and come back from limbo to cover it one final time, but until then check out our 2nd podcast review of this film. Find out first review here.

We seem to be on a Vietnam kick with a couple of our movie choices lately. Oliver Stone's 1989 adaptation of Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic's autobiography of the same name, recounting his journey from a combat-thirsty young man to a disabled anti-war activist, is worthy of the two academy awards it won. Join us for a discussion about the film, this American folly, and its lingering effects on our soci...
