Clear Tinted Classics

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.

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 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!

The podcast will resume regularly scheduled programming soon!

Jake is back from hiatus just in time for one spooky episode this October. And what could be scarier than having not one, but two guests on the show who love a movie that Jake is unsure about. That's right, we've seen many strange things already, but nothing quite like this!

I'm making a movie and not podcasts. Sorry! I'll be back soon.

Night Shyamalan's breakout hit, and one of the most famous twists of all time. How did it treat both of them having never seen it before? Well, you have to listen!

Justin is back on the show and we couldn't have saved a better movie for him. Well, we could have, but we are doing Cherry 2000, a slightly forgotten film about a bland man and a redheaded tracker and their romp through the desert to get a sex robot. Also there's maybe a cult? It's a weird one!
