Clear Tinted Classics

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.

Denise joins the show for the very first time to talk about a surprisingly formative movie she saw way back when she was young. She and Jake talk about her journey into filmmaking, and then they dive into this wild movie about Denzel holding a hospital hostage to save his son. 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.

First time guest Obi joins the show! They talk about how D&D got him into storytelling, what films he grew up on, and then they dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster that is The Iron Giant. Tissues not included!

Jake is solo again! But it kind of fits for this movie about a sad, romantic sex worker who can't seem to catch a break. Sure, let's go with that!

Jake watched a strange erotic thriller from 1984 where Anthony Perkins plays a deranged priest hounding Kathleen Turner with a bladed vibrator. And so he talks about it for an hour. What is this show?

Jake talks about 2025, tells you the best five new(ish) things he saw this year, mentions some memorable podcast episodes, and gives his top ten films of the year that he covered for the show.

It's Christmas, Jake watches Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, with you!

One of Jake's favorite movies is Perfect Blue. The director is Satoshi Kon. He also made a beloved Christmas movie about three people finding a baby in the garbage and their crazy adventures together. So he watched it and talked about it. Merry Christmas.

It's time for Justin and Jake to ride eternal on the Fury Road. It's a reverse episode, Justin hasn't seen it, Jake says it's great, let's see how it holds up. Witness!... this podcast.

Jake is alone and it's six in the morn. He's talking about the well worn idea of vengeance in film, but this ain't no shoehorn. He's talking about Park Chan-wook, a man who was born to make movies Jake is horn... okay let's stop the rhyme.

Jake talks about what he's been watching. In order: Nerdy Prudes Must Die, Blood Tambourine and the Musical Mafia, Company, Bugonia, Friendship, The Chair Company, The Substance, Donnie Darko, Game Night, Weapons, The Great British Baking Show, Taskmaster, Critical Role, Cloudward Ho, Mythical Kitchen, Calen Hearon, Marc Maron, DandaDan, This Monster Wants to Eat Me, Dealing with the Mikadono...

Jake had only seen one Abel Ferrara movie before this episode and now it's up to two. How did it go? Well, he did read Abel's entire autobiography leading up to the record so... Not bad. Johnny is back on the show to bring us another harrowing "feel good" picture. It's a good time, with a very... Bad Lieutenant.

Jake is alone, maybe appropriately so, as he dives back into Ingmar Bergman, this time about an old man having an existential crisis on a road trip with his daughter-in-law. Wild (haha) stuff!

I rank all of Yorgos Lanthimos' features! Dogtooth, Alps, The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Favorite, Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness, and Bugonia.

The podcast will resume regularly scheduled programming soon!
