This week the guys take chopsticks to a pellet looking to uncover the specks of wonderment in Zack Snyder's first animated film, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole. . .

The trial of the century: Alan Moore VS. Zack Snyder. We're very unsure about this movie...and yet pretty sure about most of it...so...oxymorons aside, as nerds we're conflicted. Disclaimer: Not Evan's finest editing, so....bring it on in the comment section! . . Thank you all for listening! Please remember to rate, review and subscribe wherever you’re hearing us. . Many thanks to Matthew Roland P...

How many Spartans were there? We’ll never know. But we do have four boisterous goofballs going crazy talking about Zack Snyder’s second feature film, 300. That’s it!! There were, like, thirty or something. Anyway, join the fellas Jason, Paco, Terry and Evan as they get a little smashed and talk into the wee hours of the night about stylization, incredible action sequences, unreliable narrators, an...

Well, this movie is called Blazing Saddles, but most people call it.......Blazing Saddles. Just a little inside joke for all you Brooks-heads out there. He rode a blazing saddle as a torch to light the way. No truer words have been sung in regards to this era in Mel Brooks' career. Excuse the fellas Paco, Jason and Terry as they ride into town and whip out their perspectives on Mel Brooks' seminal...

We don’t mean to be Snide(er), but we’re not sure how we’re going to feel about this series, but you bet your Ga’Hoole that we’re ready to be Sucker Punch(ed) into Watch(ing) the filmography of Zack Snyder. To start us off, the fellas talk his debut film, an already influential remake of George A. Romero’s, Dawn of the Dead. When there's no more room in hell, the boys will watch Zack Snyder. . . T...

Happy 95th Birthday, Mel Brooks! Terry copies Jason's rankings, Paco identifies as a curmudgeon, and Evan does the duty of disregarding every editing request. The fellas discuss why Life Stinks (or does it?), and reveal our next auteur. This chuckle-worthy episode showcases the power of Brooks, and how the guys can continue to laugh at multiple bits weeks later. . . Thank you all for listening! Pl...

We're briefly returning to the Antoine Fuqua well with his latest film, Infinite. It's essentially Scorsese’s Kundun, but if it was an action movie. Suffice it to say, a more apt title for this movie would be Kundumb. Join our resident cinephiles Jason, Paco and Terry as they try to make sense of the disheveled mess that is Fuqua’s latest installment to his filmography. Fuqua, we still love you…we...

Much like Mel Brooks’ horniness, this episode description is To Be Determined… . . Thank you all for listening! Please remember to rate, review and subscribe wherever you’re hearing us. .

The return of friend of the pod, Cary Elwes (Elvis) in a role similarly charming to the Princess Bride. Side note: it takes the fellas 13 minutes and 52 seconds to start talking about Robin Hood, so be prepared for that. It’s not that it’s a terrible movie, it’s just…not as bad as Spaceballs, but….okay it’s got some great comedy, but….oh screw it. Just enjoy the episode. We had fun. They had fun....

In the post Reagan era, an era that produced a Wall Street persona, as well as films such as Trading Places and Brewster’s Millions, Mel Brooks’ Life Stinks looks to tackle both the struggle of the less fortunate, as well as the flaw in American capitalism and the way in which the rich play games with their fortune, much to the disadvantage of the poorer populations in America. Join the vulgarians...

Welcome to the future...or the past...Brooks isn’t clear about where his parody starts with Star Wars and ends with the sci-fi genre in general. Also, why did we love this movie so much as kids?......wait.....that might explain a lot about this movie. Join the fellas Jason, Paco and Terry as they discuss the difference between peeing one’s pants and peeing on one’s pants, as well as what happens w...

It’s good to be the king...until you’re revealed to be a blatant sex offender. This movie is as much a sword and sandals comedy as it is a Harvey Weinstein throughout the ages historical fable. Join our resident cinephiles (not as bad as it sounds) Paco, Jason and Terry as they reveal the nuances of a comedic giant like Mel Brooks, and his downward turn in a genre that Brooks himself helped to pio...

Welcome to our 50th episode of Vulgar Auteurs! We’re halfway to 100 episodes, and today we’re talking about Mel Brooks’ halfway point into his directoral filmography with, High Anxiety. Spoilers: we kind of like it, but I guess we were late for fruit cup. We’re not high, but we are anxious about Brooks’ following films. . . Thank you all for listening! Please remember to rate, review and subscribe...

Spoilers: Silent Movie is an unsung masterpiece...at least to us. Suffice to say, we engulfed and devoured this movie like Dom DeLuise with a series of snacks and a blueberry pie. Except in this case the pie doesn’t fly off and smack a cop in the face, even if we would be happy with that happening. Anyway, join our resident cinephiles Terry, Jason and Paco as they gut-bust their way through one of...

While the grandson of Victor Frankenstein considers Victor’s work “doo-doo”, there is no “doo-doo” to be found in this beautiful homage to both the original James Whale adaptation, as well as old-school, early 20th century monster movies. Join resident cinephiles Jason, Paco and Terry as they traverse the complexity of ‘70s comedy working (and sometimes not working) in our modern time and sensibil...

Spoiler Alert! "I don’t get it, and I think It's dumb," a solid quote from this episode that does its best to really pinpoint where RBW went wrong, and where it was right for a short stretch. In an amalgamation episode, Jason and Paco cover both the season one finale, as well as a little review of the show as a whole. Thanks for listening, and if you've been watching along with us....we're sorry.

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Counterprogrammers. I don’t get it. Look, just play along please. Okay okay....Counterprogrammers who? Well...I didn’t actually think that far along. Anyway, SPOILER, Papa’s back. Who? What? You’d understand it if you had watched Raised by Wolves up to this point. Some heads get smashed in, sectarian violence breaks out, yada yada yada, table-setting is the least of this...

TBD

Just like Seinfeld, this is an episode of Raised by Wolves where nothing happens. And adults are way too interested in teenage girls.

Mel Brooks has led a full career......full of laughter! HAHAHAHA!!! *loooong sigh* Anyway, the man is a legend, and this week we are breaking into his filmography with his debut feature-length film, The Producers. After coming off the circuit as a young and enthusiastic comedy writer for Sid Caesar, as well as his bouts with Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks steps into the film game, both as a writer, and a...

What makes a Kusama flick? There are many elements to Karyn Kusama’s work, but one theme carries its own merit within her filmmaking. Catch Jason and Paco as they discuss the nuances of Kusama, as well as the struggles she has faced just to make both iconic, and interesting pieces in her career. Whether you like the movie or not, you can feel Kusama’s touch in each of her films. We are also reveal...

Karyn Kusama has destroyed a lot of expectations throughout her filmography. One of which is the expectation that she is a one-note, predictable filmmaker. Destroyer is a good example of that. Coming from a neo-suspense-horror-drama-whatever else you want to label a neatly constructed film that cannot be finitely labeled like The Invitation, Destroyer is a doubling - or quintupling - down of one o...

Things are really ramping up. Has Mother had it with Father? (ya had one job, dude) Is Father secretly the masked antagonist? Is it Campion? What's up with the pits?
