28:02

For April’s theme of AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP we examine the cult status of some movies that weren’t quite commercial successes in their day and while today’s discussion wasn’t considered an initial success, it did manage to get past the finish line in both financial success and long term it may have defied initial critical reactions. Panned al…

The Disorderly Orderly (1964) 28:23

12h ago28:23

28:23

We’re discussing a lot of box office misses this month for our theme of AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP but our unofficial mascot for Awkward Laughter is the one and only Jerry Lewis who made a lot of money in movies for a long time. We’re examining a smidgen of Mr. Lewis’s nutty career in three movies this month and we’ve hit the final of that trilog…

That damie stays my hammie. Forever sine on the cappa pane. Sada tay. If you think you know what that meant then you’re likely in a very specific age range. For April’s theme of AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP we’re reexamining some comedies that didn’t do very well at the box office but have managed to find a little bit of cult appreciation since the…

The Ladies Man (1961) 28:58

3d ago28:58

28:58

Our theme is called AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP but not every comedy selection is a flopper this month. For some vintage comedic studies we turn to three movies by the iconic Jerry Lewis and in our second Lewis feature the studios have the utmost faith in Jerry because they built for him a four story dollhouse that encompasses two sound stages. Yo…

Little Nicky (2000) 26:38

9d ago26:38

26:38

Some of the comedies we’re discussing for this month’s theme “AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP” are movies that maybe missed the mark after some high expectations but even with Adam Sandler’s hitmaking comedy pedigree, $85 million seemed like a quite a bit of money for any comedy film. Maybe even a lot by today’s standards. Most movies would be ecstati…

B.A.P.S (1997) 31:11

31:11

All April long is AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP in which we examine comedies that were not very commercially successful in their day and check in to see how they hold up many years later. This is a month of what many would call underrated cult classics and today’s discussion embodies that pretty well. We discuss a commercial disaster whose life on b…

The Delicate Delinquent (1957) 35:31

11d ago35:31

35:31

Our theme this month is called AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP but not every comedy this month flopped. As a vintage palette cleanser we will be examining three films by Jerry Lewis that actually did pretty well compared to our other discussions for the month. We start off our Jerry Lewis trio with the 1957 Don McGuire directed “THE DELICATE DELINQUEN…

Jean-Claude Van Damme is not ready for his swan song quite yet but he's not missing his life as an international superstar as much as his life as an international spy and assassin. Does he still have what it takes in a world of modern intrigue and geopolitical volatility? Joe and Andrew celebrate 8 years of podcasting by trying to find out.This wil…

Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996) 33:46

14d ago33:46

33:46

We’re ending the first week of our April theme known as “AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP” with a selection that is a fond memory from our youth. Apparently, not enough people can say that they watched “KIDS IN THE HALL: BRAIN CANDY” in the theaters when it came out in 1996 but our two hosts actually did pay to see this movie. Or they at least borrowed…

Cabin Boy (1994) 27:17

15d ago27:17

27:17

We’re back into one of our earliest themes to discuss a month full of comedies that didn’t quite hit at the box office in their time. We reflect decades later to determine if these panned films deserve more praise. We’re calling our theme: AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP. Some of these movies have gone on to enjoy genuine cult status and a few have ac…

New Month new theme. Last April our little movie review show was finding its footing when we discussed a few spoof comedies in an early event we called “Awkward Laughter”. One year later we return to the theme, our first returning theme for the show, and we’re discussing some comedies from over the last few decades that didn’t really blow up at the…

Europa (2016) 34:11

18d ago34:11

34:11

We just wrapped up a month chock full of post-war noir movies but let’s hang on to the genre for just a little bit longer because this is a year we’re calling THE YEAR OF VON TRIER because it’s pretty much guaranteed to be a shit year so why not increase our existential dread? We’re wrapping up Lars von Trier’s Europa trilogy with his hypnotic post…

With this episode we bid farewell to March’s noir theme we’ve dubbed THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR. We’ve discussed 21 classic film noir and a few more if you include episodes from months back.

22d ago25:54

25:54

We’re heading into the finish line for March’s classic noir month that we’ve been calling THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR. One last non-english speaking noir before we go and it’s prime post war Japanese filmmaking and our first Akira Kurosawa discussion for the show.

The Third Man (1949) 35:03

35:03

We’re nearing the end of our Classic Noir themed month we’re calling THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR and it’s just banger after banger each week and our last week is no different. Today’s classic noir is one that might show up on several “Best Movie” top 20 lists. One of the few classic noir that seem to shine beyond it’s genre. Chock full of stunning, shad…

In A Lonely Place (1950) 43:17

24d ago43:17

43:17

We’re in the final stretch of our noir month, which we’ve dubbed THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR (because it sounds cool). To say that we’ve hit up some classic heavy hitters is putting it mildly and it won’t be any different in this final week as we hit up our second Nicholas Ray directed feature this month as well as our second Humphrey Bogart feature. Di…

Lady in the Lake (1947) 31:22

25d ago31:22

31:22

We’re into the last stretch of THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR and we have five more classic noir to go and today we bid farewell to Chandler’s iconic detective in our last MARLOWE MONDAY feature. Robert Montgomery definitely isn’t our favorite Marlowe this month. Probably the worst one, actually, but this 1947 adaptation of “The Lady in the Lake” that he d…

The Killers (1946) 37:46

28d ago37:46

37:46

It goes without saying that there’s gonna be some dangerous dames all March for our noir month we’ve dubbed THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR. Today’s feature has a lady that is so stunning, so femme fatale, that she’s got Burt Lancaster’s bisexual ass simping to the grave. I mean, this dude did time for this lady by taking the fall for her while she was sitt…

Le Doulos (1962) 28:23

29d ago28:23

28:23

THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR aka “Film Noir Month” is rolling along and you might call it “criminal” that we’re discussing only one French Noir. Ahhhh, the French. They coined the genre after its peak and plucked the inspiration for its 60s New Wave works and today’s feature is from a founding father in the French New Wave oeuvre. Our youngest movie disc…

Gun Crazy (1950) 33:21

It just keeps getting deadlier and deadlier as we delve deeper into THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR! It’s classic film noir five days a week all March and we got some strange lovers here who go together like guns and ammunition. Bart is a gun pervert. He’s known this from a young age. He got sent to reform school over his gun perversion. Annie is also a gun…

NYEAH SEE!? Who says that? Who says “Nyeah See”? Is it Jimmy Cagney? Edward G. Robinson? That tiny mobster guy in the Looney Tunes cartoon? I can’t exactly remember.

Our third Marlowe Monday feature’s Philip comes off a little more …

33:40

THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR is what we’re calling our jam packed noir month all March long and we’re delving into all realms of seedy endeavors. Makes sense that a traveling carnival and freak show might have its own share of sheisters and troubled souls. Stan sees a golden road of fame and fortune through trickery. He’ll use up, sleep with and toss asi…

M (1931) 29:51

29:51

For our classic noir themed month every Thursday we will discuss a classic Noir from a non-english speaking country and today’s foreign feature about THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR is a foundational one and influences the entire month. It was all filmed on the cusp of great turmoil in Peter Lorre and Fritz Lang’s home country. Of course we’re talking about…

Kiss Me Deadly (1955) 33:27

1M ago33:27

33:27

THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR, our celebration of classic noir, continues in abundance and we land on one wild flick involving another iconic private dick that isn’t Philip Marlow. We’re talking about Mickey Spillane’s two fisted dirtbag protagonist “Mike Hammer” as played by Ralph Meeker In Robert Aldrich’s 1955 genre-bending noir, “KISS ME DEADLY”. Some…

We’re crossing into the seedy sporting life for our film noir theme we’re calling “THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR” and what sport feels more noir than boxing? Stoker feels like he’s got one more good fight in him but his poor wife is sick of seeing his battered mug. She doesn’t want the violence to ruin her marriage. Meanwhile, some scuzzy managers are mak…

It’s classic noir month, a theme we call THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR, and every Thursday in March we go overseas and away from the Hayes code for some Noir classics beyond the English language.

They Live by Night (1948) 29:15

2M ago29:15

29:15

THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR is this month’s theme and that means classic noir 5 days a week. Bob loves this shit so we’re all gonna overdose on it. No drug use under the Hays Code, though. We got ourselves a lovely little “noirmance” from “Rebel Without a Cause” director Nicholas Ray. This is actually Ray’s debut film and it’s a very worthy noir gem tha…

Alright, you scoundrels. March’s theme of THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR is in full effect. That means all classic film noir, see? That means dangerous dames and Switchblade Sammies out the wazoo, see?

It’s a sordid world all this month for the theme we’re calling THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR.

Hot damn! It’s March! That means it’s time for a whole new MOVIEHUMPERS theme and all month long we will discussing a whole “orgy” of underworld endeavors that we’re calling “THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR”.

This year really seems like it’s gonna be a von Trier kinda year. Sad and cruel with a warped sense of humor. That’s why we’re gonna be discussing Lars von Trier movies about once a month all year long. Twelve of these movies with the last one being about a serial killer. That will be perfect for Christmastime but it is the end of February right no…

This is it. The last of our selections for February’s theme of WOMEN IN CRISIS and it’s time to dive into some Hollywood nights and strange blue realms for a dreamy tale of an amnesiac woman and an up and coming actress who get wrapped up in a mystery of missing pieces that they may not want to really solve.

We’re heading into the last leg of February’s theme of WOMEN IN CRISIS and the mental state of women this month has been pretty rough. Imagine being a housewife in the 1970s and you’re pretty much losing it. Sure, you can get away with being “eccentric” much of the time but eventually the mask slips and all the devotion in the world can’t get in th…

We’re almost done discussing all of the Best Picture Oscar nominations and we’re talking about the other Sandra Hüller nominated movie in a VERY UNSPOILERY way.

It’s WOMEN IN CRISIS month and we’re discussing several movies with several distraught women in them. Crisis comes in many forms and this movie has several obvious crisis layers to contend with.

Breaking up is quite hard to do. Especially when you’re not yourself and controlled by some entity that makes you into a really bad parent. You can’t feel pain, that’s a plus, but poor Bob.

It’s time to go vintage with our theme of WOMEN IN CRISIS and today’s movie discussion involves a certain director who should know a little something about that type of thing.

This month’s theme is WOMEN IN CRISIS and crisis is coming in a variety of ways. Sometimes women can go insane and maybe they need to be admitted to a facility but maybe they don’t really need to be in that facility?
