Clear Tinted Classics

Jake welcomes first time guest Carolynn onto the show! This week, it's time to dive more into Hitchcock. How does it hold up to the rest of his work? Do Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman sizzle on screen? Probably, but you'll have to listen to actually find out!

Matthew McConaughey... month? Week? Whatever. It's kicking off, and it's kicking off in a big way, with a lot grey dragons, a lack of his iconic accent, and a Christian Bale Gerard Butler bromance as the main backdrop of this... not fantasy, maybe sci-fi apocalypse epic? Idk, It's me and Justin, it's fun, listen to it!

Andrew is back and it's time to talk about this forgotten Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan classic. How does it hold up? Is it a forgotten masterpiece? Is this why we do the show? All your answers await at the top of the volcano that is this podcast!

It's time for another round of: Jake and Justin haven't seen it! This week, Jake is trying to clean up his Denis Villeneuve watchlist, so they are doing this one.

Let's burn it all down!

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier, I'm a podcaster! Kurt and Nick are back on the show to talk about this absolutely insane movie. Richard Kelly's follow-up to his cult hit Donnie Darko. Is it unwieldy, convoluted, and nearly incomprehensible at times? Yeah, man. But if you read the three graphic novels first, maybe it makes more sense. Or maybe it doesn't They talk about it...

Tony is back on the show. And they've got an exciting one to talk about. Except, when it's not.

Jake is delighted to have Richard on the show for the very first time! And he's excited to dive into two films that have left a massive impact on both animation films and superhero films alike.

Probably!

Johnny is back to join Jake in talking about this murder and mayhem filled crime thriller about killing.

Rob is back on the show and he and Jake are coming in with all guns blazing, you have to when you're covering John Woo! Is this one of the greatest action movies of all time? Listen and find out. Spoilers, there's a lot of fawning over ChowYun Fat and Tony Leung.

Go check out all things Denise, including her Instagram: niecymichelle1104, as well as the cool production company: Boilin...

Brooke is back, and it's time to figure out if Pride and Prejudice lives up to the hype. Can Keira Knightley smolder so hard that we don't need pages of Jane Austen's inner thoughts spelled out for us? Turns out yes, but tune in to the show to hear how the rest of the film shakes out!

It's time decide whether this podcast is guilty or not, of being great! Verdict is in: Guilty! Luke is back on the show to talk through this critically acclaimed film that somehow makes twelve old dudes talking in one room one of the most compelling thing of all time. Check it out!

What's it like watching a movie this complex for the first time? Kind of crazy, but we've got Sean Connery playing a Russian and making no attempt at an accent to keep us afloat. Ethan is back on the show and the two dive in Jack Ryan style to wade through the depths of this one. Check it out!

Jake loves El Mariachi and is inspired by it. Nick hasn't seen it. They talk about it. Let's go!

Jake is almost positive he doesn't like the Muppets. But can he say for sure when he hasn't watched like... any of their stuff? Looks like it's up to first time guest Lisa to help figure this darn thing out. Is it a Rainbow Connection, or will this one be Movinrightalong to the trash heap? Let's find out!

It's time to climb the Holy Mountain. Jake isn't really sure why, and he isn't sure what's at the top, or the bottom for that matter, but thankfully Michael is back so they can take this journey together. Do they understand it? Well, they took the journey, we can at least say that.

Sammy is back on the show, and it's another old school classic. This time the unconventional love story between a guy with an apartment and the woman banging his married boss. It's a wild movie, but is it as good as people say? Take a listen!

Jake found someone willing to talk to him about Yorgos Lanthimos! Chase joins the show for the first time to talk about Yorgos' breakout movie, Dogtooth. Is it weird? Yeah, yeah it's really weird but you know come listen to the episode they talk about it and it's a good time and stuff.

Bron joins us once again to talk about this anthology film that's kind of about a pawn shop, also kind of about some meth heads (Paul Walker!), a horrific kidnapper, and Brendan Fraser as Elvis. Is it good? That question is sort of answered in the episode, so listen!

The games, The Hunger Games! Lucas is back so it's time to continue the deep dive in the Hunger Games series. What's it like to only watch one part of the a two part movie? Weird! And yet somehow this episode is over three hours. Enjoy.
