Vulgar Auteurs

We’re talking the Hughes Brothers’ debut film, Menace II Society. A passionately complex and nuanced film that can only be described as one of the smartest directoral debuts of any filmmaker, make that two filmmakers to date. Even going so far as being inducted into the Criterion Collection. That says enough. Bare with our three resident cis white dudes as they tackle an underrated piece of Black...

If there is one thing we've learned, it's that you can be a messy director(s) and still produce some of the most challenging, most heartfelt, and most daring filmography that solidifies you in the annals of history. The Wachowski Sisters are a fine example of that. Join all of the vulgar dorks Paco, Terry, Jason and Evan as they bicker and reminisce about their thoughts on the brilliant, tumultuou...

Warning: foul language at the top….and here and there throughout, but we come in hot at second ONE. Anyway, here we are, folks! The time has come for our deep-dive into the meta - no, not Facebook - textual world that is the resurrection of one of Earth’s finest, and not so finest franchises to melt the brains of any millennial that had a mind to give a damn, the Matrix. Join the whole vulgar crew...

So, brace yourselves. Jason is playing both Evan AND Paco, Paco is playing both himself AND Terry, and Terry has opted out of playing any of the hosts, including himself, and has decided to play Hugo Weaving as the Nurse, which sounds strangely more akin to Nathan Lane as Albert Goldman from The Birdcage than it does Weaving doing lady voice. Anyway, we are truly excited to talk about one of the W...

Whoa, boy…Spoilers for the episode: can we all agree that Revolutions deserves more credit than it was given? No? Okay, well…we’ll explore that a little more. A lot more, really. Just hear us out…or don’t. Ya know what? Take it as you will, and a majority of our hosts will take it as they will as well….as well. That was a melee-mouthed sentence, but whatever. Anyway, join the dorks of Christmas Ye...

This movie is kind of....okay hold on....THIS movie has the.....no no no, wait a second.....okay, this...alright, let me reload this for a second.....Join the fe- NO! Alright. I'll treat this like the Wachowskis treated this sequel: Whatever, it's a movie that has some cool shit in it. Some stuff happens, deep shit be, like, embedded in the text, and Neo fights a bunch of Freddy Krugers disguised...

It's time, folks. We took the red pill, and we can't go back. It's time for: DUN DUN DUN! THE MAAAAATRIIIIIXXXX *cue Dragula Remix Anyway, come on down, as the wheel-spinning bard used to say, and Join Jason, Terry and Paco as they plunge into the murky, warm nutrient bath that is one of cinema's most game-changing pieces of science fiction. You love it. Spoilers: WE love it. So let's get into it....

This week we're finishing out our run on the films of Edgar Wright with, you guessed it, an in-review deep-dive into our experience with tackling Wright's filmography. Join the fellas Jason, Paco, Terry and Evan as they discuss the importance of Edgar Wright's style of filmmaking, and why we chose him as to be under the microscope. They can't all be winners, but Edgar Wright certainly has a signat...

Spoiler alert: Last Night in So-So? Don’t get us wrong, Edgar Wright is a brilliant director. We just have a lot to say about it. Join the fellas Terry, Paco, Jason and Evan as they discuss undercutting of feminism in film, as well as the downfalls of nostalgia for a bygone era. . Thank you all for listening! Please remember to rate, review and subscribe wherever you’re hearing us. . Many thanks t...

Drive us home, Baby! But before we get there, let’s take a Wright on American-Action-Drama avenue. Next stop, Baby Driver! We’re talkin’ next-level diagetic and non-diagetic audio incorporation into the cinematic experience the likes of which have not been seen, nor heard quite like this. Join the fellas Paco, Terry and Jason as they discuss all the ways this film knocks it out of the park product...

We’re back! with Edgar Wright’s sci-fi, mid-life crisis, barmageddon masterpiece. Leave a light on, good listeners, for though we have returned with a twinkle in our eyes, we are in truth blind…drunk…with passion for this movie. Join the mid-life dorks Jason, Paco and Terry as they discuss the nuanced, balmy, and matured nature of Pegg and Wright’s third collaboration in a much beloved send-off to...

We are ONCE AGAIN returning to the Fuqua well with his most recent, and SECOND release of 2021 with, The Guilty. Let’s just say this is a HUMONGOUS step up from Infinite. However, as prevalent as it may be to a certain degree, did we really need this remake? Join the fellas Paco, Terry, Jason and Evan as they talk about Fuqua’s exceptional direction, as well as the importance that voice acting can...

Paco understands that there is a clique that is in love with the conceit of this film…but we’re all very open and confused as to why that community exists. No judgements. Just tell us why this movie has a cult following beyond the technical brilliance that Edgar Wright brings to the table, and we’ll all be copasetic…to an extent. It’s fun to watch, but difficult to witness. Anyway, join Paco, Jaso...

Here come the fuzz! Now picture Timothy Dalton. Are you picturing him? Good. Moving on. The fellas are talking Edgar Wright's second feature film, Hot Fuzz. Join Paco, Terry, Jason and Evan as they try very hard to not just talk hype and fanfare, and really dig into what has made Wright's films - up to this point - so absorbing and technically astounding. Evan also attempts to write a little synop...

Welcome to our introductory foray into the universe of Edgar Wright. We begin our sojourn with one of the UK’s most well regarded cult classics, Shaun the Sheep…wait…what’s that? Oh! Sorry. Shaun of the Dead. A movie about a mischievous, but well-meaning sheep that…sorry, what?….OH! I’m such an idiot. The classic zombie-comedy. Of course. Anyway. Join the dorks Jason, Paco and Terry as they fan bo...

From the mind of James Wan, Ingrid Bisu and Akela Cooper, and the camp of Dead Silence level dumbfounded silliness, comes a new type of horror that can only be described as having 15 minutes of actual entertainment. Spoilers. Join Terry, Paco and Jason as they do everything in their power not to equate Malignant to sitting down with your family to watch old home videos on their can't-believe-it-st...

Okay. What did we learn? Why did we choose Zack Snyder to cover as our vulgar auteur? There are many reasons, and *spoiler* we came through with brighter colors than we expected. Which is strange for a filmmaker that is about as drab in color tone as Takashi Miike. Join the whole gang Terry, Jason, Evan and Paco as they sit down in person (yet again! Long awaited!) to discuss the entire oeuvre of...

Army of the Dead was more easy peasy lemon squeezy to watch than we had anticipated. What is less easy peasy lemon squeezy is deciphering Zack Snyder's general politics, if he even has any, or cares to represent them in his films. Either way, join the fellas Paco, Terry and Jason as they corral their thoughts on a zombie flick that puts the work in to broaden, and subvert the genre in ways that ar...

Forget Lawrence of Arabia, or A Bridge Too Far, or Ben Hur. We’re diving deep into what this generation has to offer in terms of epic filmmaking. Except it’s nowhere near as groundbreaking as the aforementioned films. It’s just long. Join the fellas Jason, Paco and Terry as they discuss the merits of storytelling, and how one filmmaker’s vision can be easily skewed by another’s, and how the pandem...

This movie….let’s just say we created an entirely new segment/game based on how we felt about this movie. Join the fellas Jason, Paco, Terry and Evan as they try to whittle through the weeds of the garden party of madness, misguided auteurism, and sensual deviance that is, Sucker Punch. . . Thank you all for listening! Please remember to rate, review and subscribe wherever you’re hearing us. . Man...
