Slow Motion Triple Feature

IN THIS EPISODE, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SPIELBERG’S WORST MOVIE (OR IS IT?). PAULINE KAEL LIKENED 1941 TO “HAVING YOUR HEAD STUCK IN A PINBALL MACHINE FOR TWO HOURS”—BUT WILL THE AMERICAN FRIEND INSTITUTE AGREE? WHAT? HUH? I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER JON BELUSHI SCREAMING.

Superman is foundational to Kit and Andrew's friendship, so who better to discuss the latest cinematic take on the Man of Steel? Mike sits this one out, out of respect for Zack Snyder.

Unforgiven: Nope, not that one! We're talking about the criminally underseen 2013 Japanese adaptation of the Clint Eastwood classic, which closely follows the original but sets it in the Meiji period and adds swords to the gunplay. Which sounds pretty fucking cool, doesn't it?  

Time to light the fuse one last time as we discuss Tom Cruise's apparent final appearance as Ethan Hunt in what has become arguably the greatest action franchise to have ever graced the big screen. Plus we do an impromptu ranking of the whole series at the end, so that's fun. 

YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWWW! Time to reflect upon and deconstruct the John Wayne western, possibly with some introspective help from the Duke himself. Saddle up, let's lock 'n' load.

Do you or probably your dad like westerns? Well this is the triple for you (or your dad, probably)!

So how did 2024 pan out? was it a complete pile of irredeemable, flaming shit? Or was it actually pretty alright? You'll have to listen to find out! And if you thought the runtime of The Brutalist was too much then get ready for twice the brutality with NO INTERMISSION. 

Jump back in time to 2022 when we talked about this movie and a bunch of stuff that isn't anywhere near as relevant now as it was then! Fun!

A belated PT. II of Mike's Boyhood triple feature. We sincerely hope you like crude little boy humor and pie eating contest-driven projectile vomiting!

Come one! Come all! See the magic that can only exist between a young boy and a wild stallion who get shipwrecked on a tropical island together! This one is truly one of the greats. 

Welcome to a discussion of napoleonic proportions. 

Do you remember the unique feeling of being a weirdo in the 90's who watched a lot of TV? This movie sure does! Buckle up for the final installment of 2024's SHOCKTOBER!

Get ready to burn the city down for Devil's Night and beware of..... THE CROW (not to be confused with THE BATMAN).

"They'rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeee heeeeerrreeeeeee" -Little Girl from Poltergeist talking about us returning to the 'cast-o-sphere for SHOCKTOBER 2024! Get ready to POO! your pants because we're talking about the scariest movie made for children under 10. 90's kids definitely remember... 

Happy New Year! Time to discuss all of our favorite watches of 2023 (and some of our least favorite!). Unfortunately, we're running about...checks watch...7 WEEKS LATE? Oh my God, I way overslept. I am SO sorry. 

It wouldn't be Shocktober without an old and dusty spooktacle from the 40's! This year we ask again, "can old movies be scary?" Spoiler alert: the answer is still "kinda!"

Shocktober kicks it up a notch with a hidden gem we'd never heard of! It's kind of like Body Double but made for even less money!

Change your diapers and pull the blankets up to your eyeballs because it's time again for SHOCKTOBER. This week we're starting with a blind watch of a 2023 movie that we'd never heard of.

From the director of an AFI favorite, Moonstruck, comes Steve McQueen's second raunchiest film and the second raunchiest film in this very triple! 

WaWaWeeWa, who knew people in the 1940's were so nasty? We're crankin' up the heat in part two of our Big Kit Triple!

In remembrance of our favorite listener we are watching three fantastic films recommended to us by the one and only Big Kit Shields. 

He's back, baby! Get ready as we all cram into the sidecar that was attached Tom's motorcycle as it dove off the cliff.

Take a trip down under as we discuss Peter Weir's completely unnerving and maybe very gay period horror film starring Jacki Weaver and a bunch of other people.

This is one of those defining movies that most people haven't heard about. It is truly amazing and has several stand out scary moments! Highly recommend. 

Get ready for another wild ride with badass directors' Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Things are about to get nasty.
