Clear Tinted Classics

What's 12 plus 11? 23. What was Michael Jordan's basketball number, before he had to switch because he retired and they retired his number? 23. What episode number is this? It's not 23, but isn't that other stuff crazy??? Justin and Jake try to get to the bottom of this mysterious 23 business, and most of all, just try to find out if this movie has been unfairly maligned over the years or not. We...

Jake does a more casual style of review of the original Nosferatu, Shadow of the Vampire, and talks a little about the new Nosferatu film. It's all very chill.

Sorry!

Is it a classic? Eh... maybe. But it has had a lot of influence on modern culture, so it's time for Jake to grab his friend Lucas who has a lot of opinions on the series and start the deep dive into the Hunger Games franchise. And where else to start but at the beginning? Feel free to email cleartintedclassics@gmail.com to ask about Lucas' book, or just look up Internal Damage by Lucas B. Gerke!

It's that time again, time for Jake to pick a film Justin hasn't seen. And this time, it's a western starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe and their budding cowboy bromance. Does is still hit the same for Jake fifteen years later? Can Ben Foster save this movie? Well, you'll have to find out.

Bron is back on the show, and this time he and Jake are going down to the bayou to talk about the film Walter Hill made right after The Warriors, Southern Comfort! It's got some recognizable faces and a lot of trudging, how does it hold up? You'll have to listen to find out. Go check out Bron on all things, Half Dead Fred is playing on a lot of streamers, keep your eyes peeled for Pancake Man, and...

Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas are here to hunt some lions! Kind of. It's a supersize episode as Jake and Justin get into the weeds, or whatever the thorn bushes in this movie were called and dig through this... action adventure horror thriller lion movie. Yeah!

It's time for a true classic, we are going way, way back to talk about Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo. First time guest Lydia Manson talks about how she got into film and acting, and then they dive into the movie. Lydia brought a lot of fun facts, so buckle up! Some links to Lydia's stuff: https://www.instagram.com/lydiamanson88/ https://www.imdb.com/name/nm12038604/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ...

I hope you're having a better afternoon than the folks in this movie. Justin and Jake have both never seen this bleak... heist? vehicle for Al Pacino from back in the day, and they definitely had some different opinions about it. And they definitely do a lot of Pacino impressions. So check it out.

It's time to get chased across the south side of Chicago by Denis Leary for... some reason. It's a wild ride, as Jake watches this film for the first time with frequent guest, Justin!

Jake has never seen Saw. Jake doesn't really do live commentary episodes. Is doing one for a movie he has never seen, alone, a good idea? No, but it's fun anyway. Get on the wild ride!

It's stilly spooky season, and what could be scarier than Jake scrambling last minute to put an episode together? Probably his taste in horror films. Come be terrified by his choices and wail in lament!

Spooky month continues with... a comedy. But, horror themed so it kind of counts. Idk. It's a fun time, Jake likes this movie and it's Justin's first time. How does it hold up? Well, that's the point of the episode.

Spooky October continues with Bong Joon-ho's monster movie from 2006, The Host. Kurt and Jake dive into their history with the director, and then the movie itself. How does it hold up? Is the CGI bad? Yes, but does that matter? That's the true question. Listen and you'll find out!

It's time to kick off the spooky season, and what could be spookier than a group of four high school girls with the powers of dark magic on their side? Christina is back to chat with Jake about one of her favorite fall classics, and they dive deep into it. What a way to kick off the season! Follow Christina on all things at: dangerbot

Jancy and Rob are back on the show, and this time they are crossing off a big miss of Jake's, Mean Girls. How does this iconic mid-2000's comedy hold up today? Will they mostly just quote it? Kind of. Also, they all lost their minds and watched the movie musical version as well and discuss that too. Hot takes abound, Regina George worship reigns, and damn it, this episode is fetch as hell.

Justin is back and it is time to cover a film he and Jake both haven't seen. Get it, time? Uhm, anyway, we have a stacked cast, a wildly eccentric director, a slightly mind-bending time travel sci-fi plot, and maybe kind of a great love story? How did the boys feel about it? Well, that's why you listen.

Jake tries to share his love of Dredd. Justin rebuffs him. Somehow, they kind of get through the movie.

Man, it's time for more Michael Mann! Johnny is back on the show to talk about this really interesting time capsule. A film about a war that often isn't talked about, sort of starring one of the greatest actors of all time, made by a guy mostly known for his meticulous crime movies. It's a wild one, so check it out!

Jake talks about how he is stopping his Cowboy Bebop series, and what the future of the show is (it's fine!). Then talks about almost a year worth of stuff he has watched. Which he will now list. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, The Last of Us, Saltburn, Barbie, Barbarian, Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness, Oppenheimer, American Fiction, Past Lives, Sanctuary, Leave the World Behind, Dune, Dune 2, Love L...

Are we gonna get lucky and discover that this film has always been an underrated gem? Or are we gonna get Slevin, whatever the heck that means. Josh Hartnett. Lucy Liu. Bruce Willis. Morgan Freeman. Sir Ben Kingsley. Stanley Tucci. A lot of other good actors. Can they make this wannabe Tarantino thing any good? I guess you'll have to listen for yourself.

Time to rock out with your space dock out, it's a new episode of Jake watching Cowboy Bebop for the first time, and we got space truckers, heavy rock music, and the nerd with the dragon tattoo. Heck yeah!

First time guest Phoenix joins Jake to talk about the wild puppet/Bowie/musical that is Labyrinth. A pretty formative movie for a lot of people getting exposed to the Goblin King Jareth and his really tight pants, but how does it hold up for someone seeing it the first time? Jake talks to Phoenix about getting into editing and film, and then they dive into the film. Twists and turns abound!

It's back to chasing weekly bounties and this week's is a doozy. Spoilers, it's an immortal kid. What the devil?

We finally meet Vicious! We finally get some Spike backstory. Faye gets caught and handcuffed again! Jake reviews the fifth episode of Cowboy Bebop, you already know what it is!
