Episode 324 - 2025 Movie Previews Show

Feb 02 2025 75 mins  
If you’ve ever wondered what movies were coming out in 2025, you probably had that thought in like just the last week or two, right? Who thinks of the movies coming soon any further back than that? If this was January 1997, the movies coming out in 1997 should be what you’re worried about, not the movies dropping in 2025… Wait, what were we talking about again? Oh yeah, movie

Episode 323 - David Lynch's Blue Velvet

Jan 26 2025 79 mins  
Episode 323 - David Lynch’s Blue Velvet David Lynch - the great visionary of modern cinema - has died and we are all the poorer for it. RIP Mr. Lynch. And while film fans slather your entire career with praise and hosannas, we instead salute the single film that is most important to our show, Blue Velvet. It is where all the Lynchian tropes got defined, a mash-up of 50’s melod

Episode 322 - Yet Another Freshitstravaganza

Jan 12 2025 68 mins  
New year, same old podcast… We’re back from our December holiday hiatus and doing a full show of the usual segment we like to call The Fresh Sh*t. Because we’re lazy and didn’t get around to picking a real topic. So enjoy our normal crazy talk about all the movies, TV, music and books we have been enjoying before we ultimately get cranky and start yelling at clouds or whate

Episode 320 - Holly Jolly WTF?

Dec 16 2024 77 mins  
Just because a movie is set at Christmas doesn’t mean it is a “Christmas Movie.” So sayeth us. We drop some hot takes on all the holiday entertainment marketed to us every year as being very Christmas-y… and we say NOPE. Or at least we are confused as to why they are considered part of this Season of Joy. The rules are pretty arbitrary here, but the bottom line is - if it h

Episode 319 - The Polar Express To HELL!

Dec 08 2024 64 mins  
Imagine a heartfelt, warm, comforting movie about Christmas. Get that idea locked in your head. Now, imagine that same movie, but all of the parts are played by cadavers - and half of those corpses are that of Tom Hanks. If that’s difficult for you to bend your mind around, have no fear, Robert Zemeckis has done all the work for you in Polar Express, our feature of the week! 0:0

Episode 318 - Hundreds Of Beavers

Nov 25 2024 68 mins  
This week, we’re diving headfirst into the icy wilderness with Hundreds of Beavers, the latest indie film that’s equal parts surreal slapstick, silent-era homage, and weird woodland fever dream. This black-and-white oddity defies explanation—so naturally, we spend a half-hour or so trying to explain it anyway. 0:00 - Intros 5:25 - The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (1979) 13:10

Episode 317 - Luc Besson’s Subway

Nov 17 2024 69 mins  
It’s all neon gloss and kinetic pacing in this peak 80s early outing from writer/direct Luc Besson (Fifth Element)! And it is French! We get a pre-Highlander Christopher Lambert as a lost soul on the run from both the cops and the mob, hiding out in the Paris subway tunnels among a community of social outcasts and petty thieves. There is not much more to it than that. But again,

Episode 316 - Coraline

Nov 02 2024 59 mins  
The first in what might be an occasional series on films that deliberately scarred children - and we love them for it! Join us as we explore the dark fantasy classic Coraline (2009). We discuss how its unsettling visuals, eerie storytelling, and masterful animation left an indelible mark on young audiences, and why none of that worked on Chris or Eric who are old and dead inside an

Episode 315 - The Shining vs Doctor Sleep

Oct 27 2024 84 mins  
Doctor Sleep is the sequel to the Stephen King horror classic, The Shining, and is one of the better King movie adaptations that you probably heard was crap and so you didn’t see it. The truth is, it’s pretty darned good - if you watch the right version (ie, the theatrical cut or Mike Flanagan’s director’s cut). This is a rare occasion where the director’s cut is actually
