7h ago1:39:01

1:39:01

EPISODE #435-- We return to the age of Napoleon with Ridley Scott's debut picture THE DUELLISTS (1977). It's a great little movie about everything wrong with men, France, and upper class society. Also: Lots of swords. We also talk about Kiyoshi Kurosawa's PULSE (2001), the Tamil film THUPAKKI (2012) (featuring Vijay), KWAIDAN (1964), as well as SAT…

1M ago1:21:04

1:21:04

EPISODE #432: Thanks to the Criterion Channel, we finally visit one of the great cult horror films of all time: TETSUO: THE IRON MAN (1989) from writer/director/editor/photographer Shinya Tsukamoto. It's a little bit ULTRA Q and a little bit NEUROMANCER and a whole lot of grotesque confusion. It's great. Go check it out now. We also talk about Ande…

#431 CEMETERY MAN (1994): Enter the Spooktagon Part 1 1:10:08

1M ago1:10:08

1:10:08

EPISODE #431-- We start off this year's SPOOKTAGON with the Italian production CEMETERY MAN (aka DELLAMORE DELLAMORTE, a ridiculous, campy, grotesque journey into being so Italian and horny that you just have to start killing people. A tale as old as time. It stars Rupert Everett who, if I may say so, looks like a dish. We also chat about Gordon Do…

2M ago1:12:46

1:12:46

EPISODE #430-- We get away from Westerns to delve into the East. This week we're talking the seminal wuxia picture THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN (1967) staring Jimmy Wang (THE MAN FROM HONG KONG) and directed by Chang Cheh (THE MAGNIFICENT TRIO). It's a classic, if imperfect movie. Watch it. Listen to us. We also talk about REDS (1981), as well as anothe…

#429 Genet's JOHNNY GUITAR (1954) 1:05:18

2M ago1:05:18

1:05:18

EPISODE #429-- We return to the wild, wild west with Nicholas Ray's JOHNNY GUITAR from 1954. It's a good one. It's got Sterling Hayden. People love Sterling Hayden! We also talk about the lastest (French) version of THE THREE MUSKETEERS (2023) (as well as Richard Lesters' adaptations), as well as AMC's THE TERROR (2017) (now on Netflix!), Venkat Pr…

1:11:26

EPISODE #428-- Today we lament/celebrate the life and death of actor, pretty boy, deadbeat dad, and right-wing weirdo, Alain Delon with the pile of sludge that is RED SUN (1971). Directed by the Bond series' own Terence Young, and staring Ursula Andress, Toshiro Mifune, and Charles Bronson. This flick is an East-meets-West actioner that isn't nearl…

3M ago1:20:35

1:20:35

EPISODE #427-- We're still talking classic oaters over here. Today we're rapping about the classic western from George Roy Hill, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID from 1969. Staring prettyboy Robert Redford and salad dressing magnate Paul Newman, this movie tells the story of the last years of America's favorite duo of wisenheimers. It also has St…

#426 L'Amour's THE WILD BUNCH (1969) 1:11:39

4M ago1:11:39

1:11:39

EPSIODE #426-- We celebrate the dusty dregs of the summer with the epochal revisionist western THE WILD BUNCH (1969). Directed by Sam Peckinpah and staring literally every "that guy!" from the 1950's and 60's, it's a psychotic shooting spree sent straight from hell. It's great. Listen to it. Go watch it. Maybe not in that order. We also talk about …

#425 Werfel's MIRACLE (2004) 1:14:44

4M ago1:14:44

1:14:44

EPISODE #425-- We commemorate the 2024 Olympics with the post-9/11 feel good sports drama, MIRACLE, which tells the story of the rag tag team that beat the Soviet Union and won the gold for hockey in 1980. And, let me tell you, folks, there's more run-on sentences where that came from! On the back end, we got a ton of stone-cold cinema classics (in…

1:14:06

EPISODE #424-- We continue to celebrate Pride Month by going to. . . Canada? Huh. That can't be right. Anyways, we talk the Hitchcockian thriller THE SILENT PARTNER from Daryl Duke and Curtis Hanson, starring Elliot Gould and Christopher Plummer. It's properly sleezy-- just like us! We also talk the BAD BOYS saga (including the latest feature RIDE …

#423 Moorcock's PERFORMANCE (1970) 1:13:08

1:13:08

EPISODE #423-- Happy Pride, I guess? To celebrate this most hallowed of months, Cruz and James take on the cult classic from Cammell and Roeg: PERFORMANCE (1970), starring Mick Jagger and James Fox. It's a fun one. Very few accents in this one. We talk about queer theory, British acting families, and the legacy of The Rolling Stones. We also talk a…

#422 Capote's SERIAL MOM (1994) 1:20:24

5M ago1:20:24

1:20:24

EPISODE #422-- We belatedly celebrate Pride Month the only way we know how: With basic audio problems. Want to know why our SERIAL MOM (1994) sounds like this? Because somebody refused to talk into the mic, because it would "pop(?)". Note: It is not our guest, Alexis Simpson, of Drunkards and Dragons, who is always on point. And now here we are. An…

#421 Genet's VELVET GOLDMINE (1998) 1:11:13

5M ago1:11:13

1:11:13

EPISODE #421-- We (finally) get into Pride Month with Todd Hayne's mash-up punk rock/glam/whatever epic VELVET UNDERGROUND. The movie isn't very good, but it does have the decency to at least remind us of better, more relevant films. I don't know. Christian Bale is pretty good in it as a closet homosexual? Or at least failed bisexual? I don't know.…

#420 Leary's DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993) 1:13:38

6M ago1:13:38

1:13:38

(2004), STAX: SOULSVILLE USA (2024) on HBO Max, Alex Cox's WALKER (1987), and, finally, we talk once again about Amazon's FALLOUT (2024). It's a good, solid, little well-rounded episode,…

#419 Bachman's TARGETS (1968) 1:04:26

6M ago1:04:26

1:04:26

EPISODE #419-- What happens when New Hollywood meets Old Hollywood? A spree killing, apparently. And repurposed stock footage from some Roger Corman schlock (RIP). We're talking Peter Bogdonavich's TARGETS from 1968. We also talk about how a lot of old heads helped inspire the new (and also how Peter Bogdonavich was kind of a massive sack of garbag…

#418 Dostoevsky's THE BIG DOLL HOUSE (1971) 1:05:19

6M ago1:05:19

1:05:19

EPISODE #418-- We eschew all semblance of taste and decency to celebrate the life and death of Roger Corman (RIP) with the women-in-prison nightmare THE BIG DOLL HOUSE from 1971. It's got Pam Grier and that's about the best thing in the movie. The rest of is a fetid horrorshow of 1970's politics, exploitation aesthetics, and run of the mill schlock…

#417 Hodgson's THE SEVENTH CURSE 1:10:36

7M ago1:10:36

1:10:36

EPISODE #417-- We return to our roots with the Hong Kong schlock fest THE SEVENTH CURSE (1986). Directed by the same maniac that made RIKI-O: THE STORY OF RICKY and staring Chow Yun Fat (barely), it's a wild one. Not quite Indiana Jones and not quite a martial arts movie. It's a melange of madness that you just have to see to believe. We also talk …

7M ago1:43:40

1:43:40

EPISODE #416-- In this epic-length episode we take on the epic-length mini-series SHOGUN from 2024. In short: We loved it. It's a great remake of a great novel. A perfect follow-up to GAME OF THRONES. It's just what the doctor ordered. It's also great if you like to hear funny voices from loud white boys-- and I know you do. We also talk about FALL…

Staring Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick, Andre Braugher (RIP), and Denzel Washington, Glory tells the story of the first African-American regiment raised in the United States of America. It's great. One…

1:14:30

EPISODE #413-- We get into the grittier end of the 1990's with the neo-noir classic from Bill Duke DEEP COVER (1992). A good episode, a big episode, and the right movie to belatedly celebrate Black History Month. Hell of a film, folks. Hell of a film. We also talk about Wim Wenders' PERFECT DAYS (2023), Villenueve's DUNE PART II (2024), PAST LIVES …

Importantly, though, RIP to the lengend himself, Carl Weathers (1948 - 2024). It's a good one, come listen. We also talk about RAN (1985) from Akira Kurosawa, as we…
