1:12:29

We continue our quest to watch all 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. This week, we randomly selected our 32nd movie, Robert Altman's The Player (1992). The Player has the distinction of having the most Oscar winners in one film: 12 actors/actresses and 1 producer/director. Does the star power overshadow the plot? Can the acting help the self…

Boogie Nights #31 1:21:02

4y ago1:21:02

1:21:02

We are discussing the amazing PTA (Paul Thomas Anderson) and his movie Boogie Nights. While all our episodes are marked explicit, this one is definitely NSFW. Boogie Nights follows porn star, Dirk Diggler, as he navigates through the world of porn and his place in it. This episode is a tad bit longer than usual, but it's hard to fit in all the good…

4y ago1:06:28

1:06:28

Our next movie from 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die is The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!

1:03:57

Chris and Pam discuss the next movie from 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. This week's randomly selected movie is Muriel's Wedding.

Clueless #24 1:09:12

4+ y ago1:09:12

1:09:12

As if! Whatever! I'm not trying to hear that! So many classic quotes from a classic movie. Nothing is more typical mid-90s as Clueless, written and directed by Amy Heckerling. The fashion, the music, the issues, the technology are all sooo 90s, and the 90s were sooo awesome. Now don't be a full-on Monet, listen to our latest episode even though you…

1:13:15

Hey Spider! Dance that drink over here!! One of the best "true stories" ever that has been made into a movie. Scorsese at his best brings us Goodfellas (1990). DeNiro, Pesci, Scorsese, with a dash of Liotta makes this an amazing film. We might have gotten a little too into the movie as this episode might be a bit more explicit than others - the num…
