Ep. 334 - Under the Silver Lake (The Black Dahlia vs. The Nice Guys)

It wouldn't be a movie podcast without a couple of dudes trying to put the pieces together on things they don't fully understand and that is very fitting for the recent film UNDER THE SILVER LAKE. Thankfully we have a new guest Melvin Benson of the podcast CINEMATIC DOCTRINE to lead our unfortunate host in a discussion on the missing women of Hollywood and the foolish men who follow. And there is a lot of foolishness in our selected double feature of THE BLACK DAHLIA and THE NICE GUYS. Also if you click any of the links below... fools!

Ep. 333 - The Post (The Front Page vs. The Paper)

Having been looked upon for years as the movie podcast of record for this art form known as cinema we've taken it upon ourselves to celebrate 1001 films covered on this show (don't ask why two extra were covered on a premise based around a triple feature but I remember one of the extras was MONEY MONSTER, obviously you fools) by looking at the paper of record on film. In the recent (we said we were the record, not punctual) Steven Spielberg picture THE POST we find Meryl Streep challenged to maintain her family's legacy under pressure from everyone else and Tom Hanks. Spoiler alert: Hanks has more sway than EVERYONE ELSE. This inspires a conversation on the changing power of the daily newspaper as seen as far back in 1931's THE FRONT PAGE and unfortunately the every bit as dated 1994 movie THE PAPER.

Don't @ me about how dated this episode is but if you must please subscribe to my podcast with our guest BEN ZUK over at 99 FROM 99... and THEN click the links below:

Ep. 332 - Juliet, Naked (Training Day vs. The Phenom)

On this episode with Jairo from the great MARK AS PLAYED podcast (and to a lesser degree THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST) discusses one of his great passions in life: Ethan Hawke. Unfortunately much like our theme revealing around JULIET, NAKED of the more you know the the more your passion wanes, our esteemed guest finds himself in the same spot with our double feature of TRAINING DAY and THE PHENOM.

Along the way we both do a terrible job of promoting our other podcast MARK AS PLAYED so here's a reminder on that particular misfire. Also these links:

Ep. 331 - Beatriz at Dinner (Rope vs. The Last Summer)

We invite our listeners to one last dinner with us, machine and horse, as we do the polite thing and talk politics over the dinner table. BEATRIZ AT DINNER features two great performances from Salma Hayek and John Lithgow doing battle across the political divide and we in turn present Alfred Hitchcock's ROPE and Stacy Title's THE LAST SUPPER as dinner party rivals where philosophical differences lead to murder.

And then we announce our intent to murder this podcast (as if we haven't done that before!)
