Clear Tinted Classics

Jake talks about pretty much every Adam Sandler movie he has seen. And he's seen a lot. He really likes Adam Sandler.

Shelby is back on the show to talk about Mean Streets. It's a mob movie, but only kind of, but that's maybe... the charm?

I watched stuff, now I'm gonna talk about it. Spy X Family, Sex Education, The Boys, Top Gun: Maverick, RRR, Men, The Northman, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Nine Days, Little Fish, X, and Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Is this the Korean Zodiac? No, cuz this came first. Join Jake and return guest Mool on a journey into one of Bong Joon-ho's early works, which still is kind of a masterpiece. It's depressing as hell, but it has got a lot to say. And it's also kind of funny? Listen!

Going back to the future today to 1997 to talk about this post-apocalyptic romp. Sure it's recent, but it's a cult classic, and it's good and was made for 60,000 dollars so it's super fun to talk about. Join Jake and first time guest Ricky Wilson Jr. as they dive into this relatively unseen gem. Go check out Rev-X-Films, and Ricky's films, including the amazing sci-fi western Draw.

I feel the urge, the urge to Purge. Espy is back to talk about this dumpster fire of a film. Classic? The two chat about their film careers up top, and then dig in on this disaster, and the wasted potential it has.

Andrew is on the show to help wingman Jake through this Tony Scott classic. How had he never seen it before? Don't worry about it. Just lay back and let's join Maverick, Goose, Iceman, and the rest on the highway to the DANGERZONE!

A new friend joins the show to talk about this throwback to 80's slashers. Is it a classic? Maybe by someone's definition, and that's good enough. Jake and Roman talk about Roman's journey into film, which Hatchet actually plays a role in, and then they dig into the film. Makes sure you go check out Studio 605 everywhere!

Clear Tinted Classics finally lives up to the name and actually covers a classic! First time guest Holly joins Jake to talk through this now 70 year-old film. Do the jokes hold up? Does the music hold up? Of course it all does but it's fun to still talk through it anyway. Come check it out!

Jake stretches the definition of classic once again by taking on a movie that is only... wait, it's been seven years since this came out? No... time, it, it's moving too fast, I can't take this anymore! Anyway, having seen Eggers other films, it was finally time to complete the set and check out The Witch. Is Anya Taylor-Joy amazing? Is Black Phillip the icon that was worthy of all the memes about...

Jake hasn't seen a lot of period dramas, but Svetlana is back on the show to help him rectify that. There's a lot to talk about when it comes to this movie, and of course they talk about whether a 13 year old child is the devil or not. Come check it out!

Jake is riding solo for this episode, much like Mark is on his radio show. Thematic parallels? We got em! Come and check out this slightly forgotten gem (maybe?) from 1990 about the relevant topic of short wave radio shows. More relevant than you might think!

An appropriate movie for Jake to cover since he is constantly interrupting people. But for real, Taylor comes back on the show to talk through this gem from the late 90s, and also dive into the mental health issues that the movie tackles. Come for the intellectual discussion, stay for them telling Angelina Jolie she needs chapstick.

No movie, no agenda this week. Just Jake chatting with his new friend Derek. They talk about documentary, travel, empathy, and wishing you lived in a fictional universe. Hope you enjoy!

Jake has been on the set of a feature film and he's been a little too busy to edit. Sorry!

Kingdom of Heaven

Christina is back on the show to help Jake talk about this lovers on the run film from David Lynch starring Laura Dern, Nic Cage, and Willem Dafoe. It's a weird movie, it's Lynch, so there's a lot to dig into. Slip on your snakeskin jacket, turn up the radio and listen in!

Jake has on first time guest Victoria to help him talk through one of the biggest films he's evaded all these years Apocalypse Now! They talk about her start in in film, and then they dive into one of the most infamous war movies of all time? What's it really about? Does Brando live up to the hype? Why doesn't Charlie surf? Some of these answers await.

Prolific screenwriter and lover of a very specific kind of science fiction John Oak Dalton is back on the show! It's time for Jake to watch his first Tarkovsky film. Will it be too much? What is Solaris? What is anything? Come find out.

Jake continues his journey into Paul Thomas Anderson with PTA aficionado Kurt. This time, it's The Master. Let Jake and Kurt take you on a slow boat to China as they break down pretty much every aspect of this surprisingly complex film.

Jake tackles another egregious miss on his Coen brothers list. This movie is way funnier than he was expecting! 

Jake is joined from overseas by his friend Mool Hood to discuss this absolute Kurosawa banger. They talk a lot about screenwriting and movies, and then they dig into what makes Yojimbo such a compelling movie. It's mostly Toshiro Mifune.

Jake's voice is back, and he's using it to talk about the classic Jackie Chan vehicle, Police Story. It's a wild movie, filled with some of the best stunts of all time. But is that enough to earn it a super high rating? Well, Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin are in the movie, so that helps a lot.

Jake lost his voice, so he is using the audio from one of his Youtube videos. Sorry, but maybe you'll get a nice recommendation or something.

Christina is back on the show to talk about this incredibly well known film, Irma Vep. It's got  Maggie Cheung in latex, what more could you want? Also, a shocking amount of Sesame Street talk and impressions in this episode, be warned.
