“It’s What’s Inside” (2024)

Oct 29 2024 46 mins  
Definitely the most current movie we've ever covered...and maybe one of the best? If you haven't seen it, we recommend going in blind, but either way, it's a big recommend from us - it's available on Netflix. This episode is formatted a bit differently than normal, so if you want to follow how we did it, you can stop and listen at around the 25 minute mark, and the 1:04:00 mark. E

“Cell Count” (2012)

Sep 27 2024 68 mins  
A group of people wake up in an experimental facility hoping for a cure to a disease that is ravaging the world - but is that cure worse than the disease? And does this low-budget indie movie make the best out of what it has to work with? The hosts are split, much like the dog in this movie.

“Without Warning: Terror in the Towers” (1993)

Aug 27 2024 65 mins  
Would you believe me if I told you there was a TV movie filmed in Portland about the attack on the World Trade Center starring George Clooney and Fran Drescher? Of course you would - this is Portland at the Movies, after all (and it's the 1993 WTC bombing). It's also got the dad from "Fresh Price of Bel Air," so there's that too. And Andre Braugher. And the brother from "Blossom."

“Love at Large” (1990)

Jul 30 2024 60 mins  
A movie so baffling that even after discussing it for an hour we're at a loss. So we'll just post Roger Ebert's review here: "Here is a movie that looks like a parody, sounds like a parody and plays like a parody, but isn't a parody -- because the genre it's making fun of doesn't exist. Maybe "Love at Large" is a satire on satire itself. It feels like a movie from another time-spa

“Final Justice” (1998)

Jun 25 2024 57 mins  
Like a moth to the flame, we're back with another 90s made-for-TV legal thriller starring Annette O'Toole, Michael McKean, and CCH Pounder. Kidnapping, murder, dubious legal work, and the continual highlighting of the gay community and those who love them as dangerous monsters is really only table setting for what are two of the most egregious miscarriages of justice we've ever se

“The Legend of Tillamook’s Gold” aka “Treasure Hunt” aka “Tillamook Treasure” (2006)

May 28 2024 67 mins  
Summer is just beginning, so let's head to the Oregon coast for this family/adventure film about a teenager's search for the legendary Tillamook gold left by Spanish sailors. Is it a jaunty kids action movie, or a frigid, bitter look at the disintegration of an American marriage? Find out on this month's episode!

“Antitrust” (2001)

Apr 01 2024 74 mins  
Is there anything more early-2000s than Ryan Philippe and Rachel Leigh Cook? This month we travel back to the Big Tech of 2000s for this thriller about a mega tech company who will stop at nothing in their pursuit of code with the perfect structure. Or something. The tech is a bit hazy. Does this movie get anything else right? Find out on this month's episode.

“Body of Evidence” (1993)

Feb 26 2024 77 mins  
Well, we're finally reviewing the movie that spawned this whole podcast: Madonna's 1993 throwback/thriller/noir/erotic courtroom drama that dares to ask the question: "Can you screw someone to death?" We dare to ask the question: "Is this movie as bad as its reputation holds? Is it that bad in comparison to the other Portland films we've been subjected to in the past?" Light your

“Body Language” (1992)

Jan 30 2024 59 mins  
Jumping on the bandwagon of "Single White Female," this 1992 made-for-TV movie, starring Heather Locklear, takes a stab at being the sexy office place thriller that so may other movies of the time strived to be. Strap on your high heels and get ready for some busy business as we decide "does this have what it takes?"

“Something Like Summer” (2017)

Dec 05 2023 64 mins  
This month we're joined by Nicholas Beatty to unwrap this gay coming of age film/black box musical theater journey that spans 12 years of time and dares to ask the question "why does a movie that takes place over the span of 12 years have the singular word 'summer' in the title? And why did nobody's clothing or hair style change in those 12 years?" Did we find a Christmas miracle,
