The world punched a gift horse in the mouth when Quentin Tarantino's and Robert Rodriguez's double-feature release of GRINDHOUSE sadly flopped at the box office in 2007. But it really was a gift to cinema fans since the release was just as much about the theatrical experience as it was about the actual movies. Why the heck did it fail? And why the …

We face our fears as we examine Frank Marshall's "Arachnophobia" - eek! But what does athazagoraphobia mean? It's the fear of being forgotten! We jabber on about how not-talked-about-films can still matter. Along the way, we throw in the fear of pooping in public, past fears of dying before the Star Wars prequels finished, Peter Cushing Cornflakes …

The loving deconstruction of genres continues with Rian Johnson's hardboiled high-school booster shot of a debut, "Brick." We discuss how Rian Johnson's entire filmography challenges the preconceptions of whatever genre he chooses to tackle and how he's always artfully subverted those tropes in a new and interesting way. Then we gumshoe our way thr…

What does it take to "reinvent" yourself to find the job that makes you fulfilled? That's the question I asked three ex-colleagues from my nine-season run on the TV series, "Suits." I interview composer Christopher Tyng, editor Peter Forslund, and the main man himself - creator, writer, showrunner and eventually director, Aaron Korsh. They all give…

Can it be that Gore Verbinski's "Rango" is Johnny Depp's best film? That's the text Hollywood Nate received one day back in 2011 from And It's Me, Joel and we put it to the test here. This episode discusses how "Rango" pumped some much-needed blood back into Westerns with its unique blend of humor and action and how it pushed the conventions of the…

As we set out to do battle with Peter Yates's "Krull," we examine the Arthurian legend of Excalibur and how both "Krull" and "The Last Starfighter" rely on setting up their stories with their own versions of this myth. We discuss John Boorman's "Excalibur" and Disney's "Sword and the Stone" being the best adaptations and then use the sword in the s…

In 2020, my 64 year old Russian-born step-mother-in-law, Valentina, had been an American citizen for 15 years, but she didn't have any idea what a drive-in was. And since the only way to watch movies with an audience during the pandemic was at the drive-in, my family and I decided to take Valentina on her very first experience. Beyond ThunderamaDom…

We recount how Covid helped America's dwindling drive-ins regain their significance during the pandemic and then we time-travel with our audio segment back to 2020 for the Drive-…
