whatever. Ahahahaha. This movie sucked. “But,” you ask, “how exactly did it suck? Was it an earnest attempt to reboot the franchise with yet another trilogy-starter? (yes) Was it an egregiously miscast snorefest that tried to hit all points on the graph but somehow missed every single one? (yes) Did it convince you that Skynet is Genisys? (no, Skyn…

a live dog in a world of soon-to-be-dead lions. What is there to say at this point about Terminator 2: Judgment Day? That it’s a big ole crowd pleaser that updates the Wallace Beery wrestling pic for the ‘90s? That its florid sentimentality is the key to its success? That it’s a hell of a lot of fun? Maybe there’s nothing more to say, but we spend …

an undead lion. Welcome to Destroy All Connors!, a DAC mini-series that looks at the Terminator franchise. One morning in Rome in 1981, James Cameron woke from feverish nightmares. In his dream, a chrome skeleton emerged from flames. He started sketching his dream on hotel stationery. Three years later came The Terminator, a lean and twisty sci-fi …

something about live dogs and dead lions here. i don’t know. Before we recorded this podcast, Adam promised to lead with a question that he promised would ruin my enjoyment of the movie. Little did he know that his question would actually UNCOVER THE KEY TO THIS MOVIE’S GREATNESS. What is it that makes 1992’s Under Siege great? Is it the dolphin in…

whatever. In every life, some rain must fall. In every movie podcast, a Johnny Dangerously is going to happen. This is the movie that fueled a thousand dirty jokes for 12 year old boys in the ‘80s. Adam and Aidan discuss what works, what doesn’t, and why it was they decided to watch it in the first place. Listen below or find us on your podcatcher …

a couple of dead lions, pictured here as live dogs. Movie folks like to bang on about how good 1999 and 2007 were for film (it’s me, I’m the folks), but 1991 has to be a contender for the Great Years in Cinema pantheon. Barton Fink? The Fisher King? Hudson Hawk? Hell yes, Hudson Hawk. And of course, Thelma & Louise. 32 years later, this movie is st…

a couple of live dogs doing… whatever it is they do in this movie. In 2001, Luc Besson, having conquered the known universe of Eurotainment, turned his eye to the last uncracked nut: the French-Japanese procedural family comedy “what if Chunking Express went insane” co-production. In everyone’s movie library, there’s one that we foist on others in …

a live dog pretending to be (spoilers) a dead lion. Adam P. Knave once famously described Ronin (1998) as “two car chases dressed up in a movie”. Luckily for all of us, the record button was on when he said it. Less famously, Aidan said “Yeah, yeah - uh - yeah, that’s - um - right”. Also, what was going on with Sean Bean? And the objectively hilari…

a live dog, a dead lion, a guy with a sign. Toys is one of the weirdest mainstream movies of the 1990s. Barry Levinson, known for adult-oriented blockbusters and nostalgic reveries in the ‘80s, made his passion project in 1992, and boy was it a doozy. Toys is a riot of bold design choices, goofy performances and baffling story choices. It’s one of …

they are dead. they are robot jox! but they’re also live dogs. What happens when you finally allow D.J. Kirkbride on the podcast? According to his rider, all Kirkbride appearances must be accompanied by a discussion of Stuart Gordon’s 1989 mecha-magnum opus Robot Jox. Written by Joe Haldeman, Robot Jox is a strange remix of The Iliad, but with robo…

why is that hair. What do you when you’re coming off of a run of excellent films, including the nastiest low-budget crime thriller of the ‘90s and a generational cri de coeur about heroin use and Edinburgh street life? Well, you go a wee bit radge and end up making A Life Less Ordinary. Is it a crime thriller? A rom-com? A thesis on the nature of l…

what a live, live dog is this hawk. What happens when newly-minted superstar Bruce Willis decides to co-write a screenplay? You get… Hudson Hawk, an unhinged live-action cartoon that feels like the spirit of Max Fleischer inhabiting a ‘90s action movie. What the hell is Richard E. Grant doing in this? What is Sandra Bernhard doing? What in god’s na…

a dead lion singing about live dogs. Part of the Robert Altman subset of The Random Canon, Nashville may be Robert Altman’s masterpiece.

Listen below or find us on your podplucker of choice.…

a live dog dealing with a soon-to-be-dead lion. Welcome to one of Aidan’s favourite ‘80s cult sci-fi films. Also, welcome to an hour of Aidan trying to persuade Adam that The Hidden is a worthy addition to the canon of ‘80s cult sci-fi films. Is he successful? Spoiler alert: sorta. Unfortunately for Adam, he’s not the one who does these writeups. T…

now there’s a live dog. Do you like relentless images of clocks? Are you looking for a movie obsessed with the minute details of printing presses? Are you nostalgic for a time when newspapers had their own printing presses? Are you nostalgic for a time when people read newspapers and didn’t get their worldview from @queefbugler420? If so, may we re…

one day to be a dead lion, but for now, a live dog. Get hype! Get ranked! Adam and Aidan are laying out season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on the table and sorting them out.

in matters animal, vegetable and mineral, he is the very model of a modern live dog. In 1988, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was released, and the world would never be particularly different afterwards. One of the shaggiest of Terry Gilliam’s shaggy dog stories, the movie gained notoriety for its troubled production and its callous treatment of…

dudes rock, 1994 Who can argue with the sublime stupidity of Airheads? Michael Lehmann’s heavy metal update of Dog Day Afternoon (Rod-ney-King! Rod-ney-King!) is certainly not a masterpiece, but there are some inspired moments of goofiness, as well as committed performance from Brendan Fraser. Let’s get a petition for a cut without Michael Richards…

tfw you’re about to hitch a ride on the information superhighway. In the spring of 1995, Johnny Mnemonic was released on an unready world as a would-be blockbuster. Instead, what the public got was a B-movie with arthouse sensibilities buried under beams of neon and plumes of fog. In 2021, director Robert Longo released a black and white cut of the…

two live dogs, but sometimes you kind of wish albert brooks’ character was a dead lion. Hollywood loves taking apart the business of moviemaking, but satires on broadcast journalism are relatively scant. But who needs quantity when you’ve got Broadcast News? Holly Hunter, Albert Brooks and William Hurt play the world’s most toxic throuple* as the s…

remember when travolta was cool? i do. The movie that poured a bottle of Perrier on the Elmore Leonard adaptation drought, Get Shorty is still one of the funniest and sharpest Hollywood satires ever made. Adam and Aidan make a case for why you should stop listening to them and just watch the movie. But if you’re determined to hear our thoughts on t…

julia roberts wishing she was not in hook (1991) In 1991, I saw Hook. I did not like it. In 2023, I saw Hook and did not like it again, but with the benefit of 32 years of experience and maturity, I found myself not liking it for different reasons. Despite my undying film snobbery, though, there are genuinely enjoyable moments in this strange tunne…

one live dog and one dead lion in a movie that valorizes dead lionhood. For a certain demographic (Gen X and elder millennial men, I suppose), Master and Commander is a source of great pleasure. Maybe it’s the camaraderie between British tars (soaring souls, free as mountain birds etc.), the careful replication of shipboard conditions, the tense na…

Once upon a time, God in his lassitude made a John Patrick Shanley. Shanley looked around and called to God. “What is my purpose?” Shanley asked. “Go make movies, Shanley,” God said, shooing Shanley away. “What?” Shanley said. “You created me to make movies and left me alone in this desolate universe? Just for that, I’ll make the most annoying, une…
