Clear Tinted Classics

Tony makes his triumphant return to the show with this absolute barnburner of an episode. They talk about the entire trilogy, Raimi, Campbell, low budget filmmaking, slapstick horror, it's all here. Jake even watched the remake and Rise. It's a jam packed episode, and if you stick around till the end, you'll get a pretty spicy ranking of all of the films. Swallow this!

It's an actual classic this week, The Sting. How does this conman flick hold up after all this time? Especially since it became incredibly apparent that every subsequent movie ripped this one off? Redford, Newman, Shaw? It's a murderers row, and a wonderful return guest in Bron, guys, it's a great ep, so check it out!

It's a brand new guest and a very famous movie, what could go wrong? Other than a bunch of droogs kicking down the studio door and dropkicking Jake for his spicy takes this episode of course. Michael helps Jake through the world of Kubrick, a world he is mostly unfamiliar with, and then they break down the movie. It's a great spot of ultrapodcasting, so check it out!

Jake is finally woken up to the best Scorsese movie of all time! Well... maybe not that extreme, but is this one of his underrated ones? How does Leo's performance hold up? Or better yet, what's going on with Cate Blanchett's Katharine Hepburn? Well, you know the drill, click to find out.

It's a recent movie, and Jake has seen it already, but Justin hasn't! They continue their descent into all things Shane Black with a film that Jake swears is actually pretty good. How does it hold up? I guess you'll have to click on the episode and find out.

Christina is back on the show to talk about one of Jake's favorite movies of all time. Park Chan-wook is the master, and they talk about it. And they talk about this absolute modern classic. Be Gay, Do Crime!

Justin swears this movie is good. Jake isn't so sure. I guess it's up to you to decide? Or just have fun listening to them figure out if Josh Hartnett is a good actor, if Harrison Ford is actually hilarious, and what the hell the intention of this thing was. Is it funny? I suppose the same could be asked about the podcast. Listen anyway?

What do you know? It's Justin, back on the show! They talk about this fucking terrible movie that shouldn't be as bad as it is, but somehow it is. Mel Gibson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, Raul Julia, a stellar behind the camera team. And it's the most boring movie ever made. Can Justin and Jake make it entertaining? Maybe!

It's the spookiest thing of all, Jake is tackling a popular movie all alone. Grab your favorite blankie, pop your poppinest popcorn, and curl up with him while he talks about zombies running around on a train. It's a good time, kinda!

Spooky season continues as Andrew is back on the show to talk with Jake about one of the biggest horror movies he has missed in his life, Hellraiser! Should it be in the same conversation as the big ones? Or is it a completely different beast all together? Does Jake spend half the episode pitching upgrades to the movie? Yes, but that's besides the point. Check it out!

It's the return of Lucas B. Gerke to the show! Spooky month kind of continues with this Japanese cult classic from 2000. Tarantino once said it is his favorite movie from that decade. It's the movie the popularized the death game genre, and is probably directly responsible for things like The Hunger Games, Squid Game, and even Fortnite. Does it hold up? Well, that's why you should list...

It's spooky season! And what better way to kick off the month with a movie about a bunch of mediocre dudes chasing an even more mediocre dude? Mostly kidding, but maybe not. So hyped to have Kurt back on, he and Jake dive super deep on the Finch man himself, and then get into the film. Check it out!

Stephon is back on the show, and this time they are doing a film from the 90's and not something pre-1960's! But, this movie is set in the 60's, so there is that. This is a film Jake has never seen, and it's a wild ride, so join them on this journey through a family drama where tensions finally boil over in a deep Louisiana town.

Justin is back on for a reverse episode. Jake is a fan of Point Break, but will Justin be? The only thing guaranteed this episode is a lot of Gary Busey and Keanu Reeves impressions.

Jake talks about Oshi no Ko, To Live and Die in L.A., Alita: Battle Angel, Netflix's live action One Piece, Nimona, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Zodiac, Strange Days, Dungeons and Dragons (the actual game), and Baldur's Gate 3. Whew!

Not one, but two Predator films debut on today's episode. Justin didn't feel content just putting Jake through the mediocre follow-up to one of the best action movies of all time, instead we have to talk about Shane Black's abomination from 2018 as well. It's a long, sloppy episode, it's all over the place, it's borderline incoherent at times, wait, are we talking about the...

I wanted to do a navel gazing episode where I look back on some of the best films I've found while doing this show. Wow, it's been three years! Time flies when you're watching some of the best films of all time.

Robert is back on the show, and this time it's to honor the recently passed madman himself, William Friedkin! They go in deep on Friedkin's films and history, and then they talk about the movie. Is it truly Friedkin's best film? Is it sad that we don't get sequences in movies like this anymore, or is it probably better for everyone's safety? Both, but there's more questions...

It's a reverse episode! Justin has never seen Reservoir Dogs, so he and Jake are gonna talk about it. And they do. Lots of Tarantino talk up top, then they dive into the film. Did Justin like this one? Or is another movie Jake likes doomed to not live up to expectations? Will it be, stuck in the middle of the ratings? So many questions, and some answers await within! Also the last like fifteen...

Is Jake Jake's real Enemy? Am I talking about Gyllenhaal or am I talking about me? Well, I guess you'll have to listen to me ramble about this movie to find out. But yeah, it's a subconscious mind melt and he's his own enemy, that's the point hope you tune in!

Jake is alone this week, much like Frances is after that dang Sophie leaves her to hang out with that goober Patch. But seriously, welcome to a solo episode where Jake gets a little existential about the aimlessness of life and talks about, well, this movie. Check it out?

Bron Theron, director of Half-Dead Fred and Pancake Man, is back on the show to push Jake into watching this early 90's Michael Douglas on a rampage movie. They talk a lot about Pancake Man, including the scene from Falling Down that inspired one in Bron's movie, and... oh yeah, they talk about Falling Down. Check it out!

Did you know Jonathan Demme made other movies besides Silence of the Lambs? Well, three years before that masterpiece, he helmed a movie starring Michelle Pfeiffer where she's the wife of a mob hitman who wants out. Robert is back on the show to help Jake tackle this one. Does the inconsistent tone, slightly confused plot, and weird acting from everyone not Pfeiffer drag this one down? Or does...

Fan favorites Andrew and Justin join Jake on the pod to talk about this sometimes forgotten 90's rock comedy. It's one of the big Sandler films Jake has never seen, so how does it hold up? Well, there's some pretty good stuff, some okay stuff, and a lot of great rock. It's a good time all around, so come check it out!

What a joyous occasion, Christina is back on the show to talk about a movie Jake has wanted to do for literally years at this point. Does it live up to the hype? They break down the whole movie, and little bit of themselves, and dive deep into this one, so deep Joel can't even hide. Check it out!
