Late To The Table

Apocalypse now rocks, Robert Duvall rocks, Dr. Pepper rocks!  Wanna know why?  I bet you would…you dork!  Listen to the show! Topics include grenade based fetishes, the darkness within the hearts of men, and a whooooollleee lotta surfing!  

Mike’s sick!  Dev can’t make it!  The quest for the ring stands on the edge of a knife!  WE PUSH FORWARD.  Wet Hot American Summer:  believe the reviews or the hype?  Don’t believe the reviews!  This movie rocks!  Paul Rudd is charming even while he allows children to die.  Imma go fondle some sweaters,  download that show yo!

The gang once again succumb to the evils of alcohol while checking out their first Scorsese film.  Robert De Niro kills it...but not as much as last night's Game of Thrones episode.  I mean did you see that?  Holy shit.  How are they going to follow that?  That had to be like the rest of the season's budget.  That was a amazing...also: Jodie Foster as a 13 year old prostitute and friend of the sho...

Lots of podcasts are doing tie ins with Mad Max Fury Road, but it’s cheap, and tawdry, and we’re above that….so here’s our Mad Max themed 25th episode spectacular*!  The gang hated the original Mad Max, everyone in the world loves Fury Road, how does Road Warrior hold up?  Who could ever forget such iconic characters like Warrior Women and Mechanic?  FIND OUT…now...ish.     *it’s not that spectacu...

The crew switch it up this week by watching a good movie that’s not lying about being based on a true story.  I’m looking at you Starship Troopers!  They discover a hidden gem of a movie and the secret of Al Pacino’s acting talent (volume.)  ATTICA!

We get it.  It’s a satire. It’s a beloved movie by the internet/Rich.  Mike and Dev have issues with it.  Watch Private Johnny “Spider” Rico get continually promoted due to the death of his superior officers.  See Neil Patrick Harris be kind of a dick.  Experience Denise Richards.  This episode brought to you by Activia Yogurt: Activia, the yogurt that helps you poop.

The Rock is a solid (as a rock!) mid 90’s action flick.  It’s also a Michael Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer joint.  Is it the best of a bad lot or is Michael Bay some kind of secret genius?  Minor spoilers for Netflix’s Daredevil and JaMarcus Russell fans.

There are three rules at Late to the Table.  Rule 1: At least one of us has to have not seen the movie.  Rule 2: It has to be deemed a classic by someone, somewhere.  Rule 5: Snitches get stitches.  Dev has never seen Holy Grail! Rich and Mike have waaaay too much!  Somethings gotta give!  Is it as good as Mike and Rich remember or do they have on nostalgia glasses?  FIND OUT TODAY!  (Or whenever...

The guys have a change of pace from last week and watch a GOOD movie, the 80's classic This Is Spinal Tap.  If you like bad British accents and lawn care/k-mart stories boy are you in for a treat. It's good! Listen! DO IT.

Dev and Mike agree to watch one of Rich's favorite movies in order to keep the Fargo episode edit free.  It wasn't worth it!  They have to watch the Fast and the Furious.  The gang travels back to a time when speed ruled and Ja Rule wandered the earth, the distant past of 2001.    

Dev's back!  The guys watch Fargo! It's good, I mean it's the Coen brothers, come on.  The gang tactfully discusses the evil within man.  Just kidding they make like 800 swastika jokes.  Sorry.     

Dev’s on Vacation!  Mike and Rich enlist Big Trouble In Little China expert Brent Thomas Anderson to guest host!  Kurt Russell is the handsomest/most dopey truck driver of 1986!  The guys get a lot of mileage out of a guy named Wang!  Every Asian person is either a mystical sorcerer or a martial arts expert!  Not our fault!  GO. GET. SOME. Taggin’: 80’s, comedy, Big Trouble In Little China, Kurt R...

Ep. 16 Predator:  Blue Ranger Slurs It’s the finale of Schwarzenegger month!  Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger? What does he mean to us? What does he want?!  I swear I’ll give it to him!  They guys watch another goddamn sci-fi classic starring Schwarzenegger and learn about life, love, and what it means to be human.  But seriously, it’s about explosions and capitalism.  CAAAAAPITALLLLLLIIIISSMMM!!!!!...

The guys feel the sting of sweet karma as they lose almost all of their Terminator 2 episode.  They duct tape it together with their Running Man review to make terrible tasting lemonade out of terrible tasting lemons.  There’s a Schwarzenegger soundboard! Mike can’t spell Joel or pronounce nun chuck!  Rich eats too many cookies!  Dev buys a wallet off amazon!  I swear it’s more interesting than it...

The gang kick off Schwarzenegger month in style with the sci-fi classic Total Recall.   They accidently drink too much and the show goes off the rails.   They struggle to remember the plot of the movie and spitefully try to spoil everything they can think of.   Spoilers for Star Wars, season 5 of Breaking Bad, season 2 of House of Cards, Battlestar Galatica, Final Fantasy VII, and every M. Night S...

Grosse Point Blank!  Late 90’s! John Cusack is an assassin full of ennui!  We’re breaking all sorts of new ground here people.  The Gang watches their most modern movie yet and everyone accidentally falls in love with 1997 Minnie Driver.  I swear it’s just her love of ska music!  The soundtrack was produced by Joe Strummer!  That’s pretty cool!  Exclamation points!  Special guest appearance by Ric...

Ep. 12 Reservoir Dogs:   Off The Reservoir   The guys venture into the distant future of the 1990s to check out the Tarantino classic Reservoir Dogs.   There are no dogs and no reservoirs in this movie.   What a load of bullshit.   There is a gratuitous amount of off screen violence so there’s always that.   Taggin’: Comedy, tarantino, reservoir dogs, classic, movie  

Police brutality, shooting unarmed citizens, Detroit in shambles, there’s nothing relatable in the 1987 sci-fi classic Robocop.  Nothing at all!  NOTHING AT ALL.    taggin':  comedy, movies, sci-fi, robocop, police, po-lice

The gang fulfills the world's lamest prophecy by finally watching Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner.  They discover what it means to be human and that Harrison Ford seems a little drunk.

While dissecting the coming of age classic The Graduate, the guys blow the lid off the untold story of a marvel-esque shared universe.  Take that Serial!   Taggin’:  Comedy, podcast, movies, classic, the graduate  

Technology gets the better of the guys causing them lose an episode and redo the whole review.  Listen as they try to recreate organic moments and get bogged down in issues of sexuality/dating.  Only through the love of their savior, Spider Rico, are they redeemed.  taggin': comedy, podcast, movies, rocky, classic

Dustin Hoffman is amazing and Tom Cruise is a force of nature: 80's style.  The gang watches their most critically acclaimed film yet, the Oscar winning Rainman!  The guys also come up with a Late to the Table Drinking game guaranteed to ruin your life or at least send you to the hospital.  Topics include: on set farting, Shyamalanian twist endings, and Vegas...BABY!     Taggin’:  Comedy, podcast,...

Get ready for some ultra violence as the guys check out the cult classic A Clockwork Orange.   Topics include, droog stabbin’, phallus smashin’, and a bit of the old in and out.   Taggin’:  Comedy, podcast, movies, classic, A Clockwork Orange

Kicking off 2015 in style with The Hunt for Red October!  The gang forcefully leaves the protective nest of 1970s movies and boldly travel into the future: the 1990s*.   *If anyone makes a 2015 Back to the Future joke, I will find you.  

The guys get cocky and think they can find redeeming qualities in the Star Wars Holiday Special.  They don’t.
