Welcome to Season 2 baby! In honor of Nicolas Cage’s birthday we begin our special Cage Series! And to kick off the festivities we watched the very strange and entertaining Vampire’s Kiss! This week friend and Vampire’s Kiss expert Austin Reheiser joins the boys to shed some light on this wonderfully weird movie. The boys are also joined by a surprise secret guest that gives some context to the origins of this film. Listen and enjoy!
This year for Halloween we have another episode from the back catalog! In this blast from the past the boys talk about the fine line between good movies and bad movies, how the hell Gary Oldman hadn’t won an Oscar before 2018, the sexual nature of the Dracula story, and much more. Watch, listen, and have a happy Halloween!
The boys are back! This week’s conversation begins with Dan’s involvement in the community of filmmakers in Gainesville, FL called Cinemadrome. Alan has a guessing game for all you listeners so play along why don’t cha? And then the boys catch back up to the second edition of the Giallo series with Dario Argento’s Deep Red. Considered to be the height of the genre itself, this film has great camerawork, kills you can feel, and a soundtrack that has influenced many of the horror themes we adore today. Watch and listen!
The Coming of Age series is coming to a close with Gus Van Sant's My Own Private Idaho. Before the boys dive into the Shakespearian story of the sleepy hooker, they talk of all the things they've seen in the past week. The roster involves the action-packed Jack Ryan, Dan & Alan's detrimental neglect of The Wire & Oz, Polanski's Carnage, Hardy's Venom, and all things Charlie Manson! Once that's out of the way, we can all find out together if River Phoenix comes of age or wastes away. Watch and Listen!
Is it City slickers? Or Swingers? How old is Alec Baldwin’s daughter? How do you pronounce John Glaser’s last name? Is Party Down bad for first dates? Is Steven Spielberg okay? IS THIS MOVIE EVEN COMING OF AGE? Well, that’s the name of the show. We’ll find out together if Empire of the Sun fits the genre in part two of our namesake series. P.S. It doesn’t.
This week is the beginning of our namesake month! The boys sit down with their good friend Ben Gelber to discuss Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade and coming of age films in general. They get into the history of the genre, it’s influences, and how it’s evolved over time. Also, the boys go over the lackluster Deadpool 2, a spider that will give you a dangerous erection, how bad the English dub sounds on Netflix’s Dark, and the genius of Bo Burnham. Listen and enjoy!
The boys sit down with a couple cigars & a bottle of wine and have a casual conversation under the beautiful night sky. Starting with a lil Dana Carvey Show and Barry before moving onto the new Avengers film and everything that led to it's conception. Not only is this a conversation about Infinity War, but everything from Star Wars to Just Friends. Watch and Listen.
