Clear Tinted Classics

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!

It's a reverse episode today, Jake is joined once again by fan favorite Justin to talk about this somewhat forgotten western movie that Sam Raimi and Sharon Stone put together in the mid-90's. Jake really likes this movie, a tournament style quickdraw movie, but how will Justin feel as a first time viewer? Is Raimi's over the top style too much? Are the gunfighters compelling? Should t...

Djosh makes his triumphant return to the show to talk with Jake about pretty much all things Batman. They talk about the other live action movies, who wore the cowl the best, rank their favorite Nolan films, discuss Batman's no kill policy, and yeah, they talk about the movie too. You don't want to miss this one, or Batman might swoop in and punch you in the face, cuz that's kind of hi...

We are kicking it way old school today with this actual classic. Based on a novel of the same name that came out just a year before the movie, a film Tyrone Power used all of his (pun intended) power to get made, this twisty, psychological noir that might have been too hot for audiences of the time. But has it stood the test of time today? Stephon is back on the show with another classic, and he&#...

Amazing guests Kurt and Victoria are back on the show to talk about this sometimes forgotten Paul Thomas Anderson film. Is it a stoner noir? Surf noir? It's something at least. It's a wild ride of a film and there couldn't be two people better to help Jake on this trip through this crazy trip. Come check it out!

Justin is back on the show to talk about this somewhat forgotten film from the 90's, Sleepers! Why is it not remembered as an all time classic? Well... They talk about it. It's a star studded affair, with Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt, and quite a few more, but ultimately, is this movie worth remembering? Also, slight trigger warning, the subject matter of this film deals very...

Whew boi, it's time to finally tackle The Big Lebowski, and The Big Fan himself is here to help Jake do it. Andrew is back on the show for a super-sized episode, and it's a doozy. They talk about, well everything. Definitely stay tuned to the end for Andrew's amazing rant about Donny's purpose in the film, it's amazing. Check it out!

Is The Strangers a classic movie? Well, it did come out over fifteen years ago. Feel old? But seriously, it's a film that's widely talked about in the horror community, and a story that has sunk under many people's skin and left them restless at night, wondering if it could happen to them. Jake welcomes esteemed guest Shelby back to the show to talk about how this movie holds up today,...

It's a lonesome old podcast. Jake is alone, and he's talking about this movie about a drunk alcoholic screenwriter who befriends a beautiful sex worker and things get super sad, much like Jake's life! But for real, it was fun to finally tackle this movie, Cage and Shue are great, and it was... an interesting movie. Come check out Jake trying to parse through it!

Guys, it's all in the title. I watched (and listened) to some stuff and I talked about it. Hope you enjoy.

Robert is back on the show, and it's a freaking treat this week! They shoot the shit about the filmmakers who came up in the 70's, the era De Palma came up in, and then they dive into a movie that is technically considered an erotic thriller enough by Criterion to be on its erotic thrillers of the month list. Is it though? Or is it an elaborate exercise in trolling an audience and Hollywoo...

It's time to mock the mentary with one of the first and greatest to do it, This Is Spinal Tap! First time guest on the show, Kevin Isaacson from I Like Ike Films and the Cinematic Heartland podcast joins Jake to talk about a film that has influence film, documentary, rock and roll, and everything in between. How does it hold up after all these years? Is it still as funny as it was back then? D...
