The Dudes travel to hell with Bruce Lee to defeat The King of Hell in 1977's "The Dragon Lives Again", directed by Joe Law, Starring Siu-Lung Leung (a.k.a. Bruce Leong). But Bruce isn't alone! He teams up with Popeye the Sailor Man, and battles pop-culture icons, such as Clint Eastwood, The Godfather, and Dracula! This inept "Bruceploitation" film is pure, irresistible garbage! Other Movies Discus...

The Dudes discuss 1978's "Corvette Summer", directed by Matthew Robbins. This confused romantic comedy stars a Post-Star Wars Mark Hamill and a Pre-Ghostbusters Annie Potts, on an adventure in Las Vegas to find a stolen dream car. Various romantic and perilous adventures ensue, including bicycle chases, de-flowerings, and getting beaten by gigantic chains! Other Movies Discussed The Cabin in the W...

It’s our 100th episode, and we’re discuss 1974’s “The Godfather: Part II”, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. Considered my many as the greatest movie ever made, and a genuine Dude favorite, this film deservedly earns its reputation. Listen to us discuss why! Other Movies Discussed The King of Marvin Gardens (1972) – Directed by Bob Rafelson The French Connecti...

The Dudes discuss 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar", directed by Beeban Kidron, starring Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo. This misguided comedy about being true to yourself, and kind to others, has its heart in the right place, but gets a lot of things wrong. Other Movies Discussed Serpico (1973) – Directed by Sidney Lumet Power Rangers (2017) – Directed b...

The Dudes discuss 1968's "If....", directed by Lindsay Anderson, starring Malcolm McDowell. This is the first film in the "Mick Travis Trilogy", where we join him for a surrealist rebellion against religion, jingoism, and the English preparatory school system. Other Movies Discussed Marty (1955) – Directed by Delbert Mann X-Men (2000) – Directed by Bryan Singer QUESTION OF THE WEEK What's your fav...

The Dudes fall in love with Adam Sandler and Emily Watson in 2002's "Punch Drunk Love", directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Imagine the Adam Sandler caricature transplanted into the real world - that's this movie. Sprinkle on a love story, and a slimy Philip Seymour Hoffman, and you've got something glorious. PTA is truly, ahem, the master. Other Movies Discussed Mildred Pierce (1945) – Directed by...

The Dudes discuss 1998's "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels", directed by Guy Ritchie. This stylish crime-caper follows four friends who get in over their heads with various London gangsters. This smart, flashy, and humorous plot has enough charm to make even Vinnie Jones smile. Other Movies Discussed Under the Sun of Satan (1987) – Directed by Maurice Pialat I Am Thor (2015) – Directed by Ryan...

The Dudes love the bomb, and fight in the War Room, as they discuss 1964's "Dr. Strangelove", directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott. This cult comedy is often considered one of the best Kubrick films, and touches on absurd subjects still relevant today. A true classic. Other Movies Discussed The Thing (1982) – Directed by John Carpenter Nausicaa of the Valley of t...

The Dudes discuss 2007's "Hot Fuzz", directed by Edgar Wright, starring Simon Pegg. This English satire takes all you love about action, mystery, and suspense films, and lovingly mocks them with rapid paced jokes, and a big ol' fat wink. A soon-to-be comedy classic! Other Movies Discussed Point Break (1991) – Directed by Kathryn Bigelow The Founder (2016) – Directed by John Lee Hancock QUESTION OF...

The Dudes get busy livin' as they discuss 1994's "The Shawshank Redemption", directed by Frank Darabont, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Considered one of the best films of the 90s, it chronicles the life of two prisoners who form a friendship that overcomes all odds. If you haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor, and do it. OTHER MOVIES DISCUSSED I Am Not Your Negro (2016) – Direct...

The Dudes discuss 1987's "The Secret of My Success", directed by Herbert Ross, starring Michael J. Fox. This cliched comedy comes with all the trappings of any mediocre 80's film, including montages to bad music, chauvinistic rants, idiot plot lines, and bad haircuts. No cocaine though! Other Movies Discussed Split (2016) – Directed by M. Night Shyamalan Psycho (1960) – Directed by Alfred Hitchcoc...

The Dudes discuss 1989's "Longtime Companion", directed by Norman Rene, starring Campbell Scott and Bruce Davison. This might be the first theatrically released film that addresses the AIDS crisis, and it does so in a sincere, sympathetic, and hopeful manner. Hopefully, we find a cure soon. Other Movies Discussed Halloween II (1981) – Directed by Rick Rosenthal 5 Centimeters per Second (2007) – Di...

In space, no one can here the Dudes. This week we discuss 1979's "Alien", directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Sigourney Weaver. This seminole sci-fi horror flick redefined our expectations of both genres, and created one of the biggest pop-culture sensations of the last 50 years. And, yes, Yaphet Kotto could probably beat you up. Other Movies Discussed Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) – Directed b...

The Dudes watch 1987's "Prick Up Your Ears", directed by Stephen Frears. Both Gary Oldman and Alfred Molina give knock-out performances in this British biopic about the controversial English playwright, Joe Orton, and his longtime lover and assistant, Kenneth Halliwell. Other Movies Discussed Chud (1984) – Directed by Douglas Cheek The Red Turtle (2016) – Directed by Michaël Dudok de Wit QUESTION...

The Dudes join the servants and the masters for an English murder-mystery in 2001's "Gosford Park" directed by Robert Altman. The all-star ensemble cast will give you an engaging look at England's class system, how it effects the people surrounding it, and the ends that come from those means. Keep your eyes and your ears open for this one! Other Movies Discussed Chopping Mall (1986) – Directed by...

The Dudes destroy a sleepy northwestern town, as they discuss 1982's "First Blood" directed by Ted Kotcheff, starring Sylvester Stallone and Brian Dennehy. This poignant story of a man mistreated by his homeland is the progenitor of action icon "John Rambo", as well as most of 80's action cinema. Or, as we like to call it: Rambo Begins. Other Movies Discussed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) – D...

The Dudes are "Singin' in the Rain" in Gene Kelly's 1952 masterwork! This world renowned musical is often considered the best of the genre, so get out your umbrellas, put on your tappin' shoes, and listen to Scott complain about all things good. Other Movies Discussed: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) – Directed by Zach Snyder Doctor Strange (2016) – Directed by Scott Derrickson Question...

Join the Dudes as they discuss, not only the best documentary of the 90's, but quite possibly the best film of the decade: 1994's "Crumb", directed by Terry Zwigoff. Whether you like the man's art, or the man himself, there's no denying how well made and compelling this film is. Keep on truckin'. Other Movies Discussed Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012) – Directed by Eric Wareheim and Tim...

The Dudes witness the birth of modern cinema in 1960's "Breathless", directed by Jean-Luc Godard.

The Dudes do a little NYC fast talking in 1957's "Sweet Smell of Success", directed by Alexander Mackendrick, starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. This stylish American film-noir is one of the best of the genre, highlighted by two powerhouse performances. If this is a bad movie, then we're pretzels! Other Movies Discussed Get Out (2017) – Directed by Jordan Peele Inferno (2016) – Directed by R...
