Ep. 410 - The Wolf Man (1941)

Jan 28 2025 62 mins  
Episode 410: The Crew's pretty sure this is Tarantino’s favorite werewolf movie (cause the transformation scene is just feet) while watching George Waggner’s The Wolf Man. This atmospheric 1941 film is missing some of the famous werewolf lore (no full moon), but adding to it as well (needing silver to kill the beast). The Crew discusses… If you like our music intro, head o

Ep. 409 - Nosferatu (2024)

Jan 21 2025 72 mins  
Episode 409: The Crew's a little confused on the vampire rules in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu. Rules aside, the Crew’s excited for the fourth film from Mr. Eggers, after one of the best directorial debuts of all time with The Witch. It’s technically impressive and all the performances are pitch perfect, but some of the Crew has problems with the film’s runtime. If you like

Ep. 408 - Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Dec 24 2024 68 mins  
Episode 408: The Crew's wondering how Keanu Reeves didn’t get fired while watching Francis Ford Coppola’s, Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Yes Reeves is horribly miscast, but everyone else is great. The costumes really standout in a film with so many memorable moments and shots. And this may be the most faithful adaptation of the novel; the only big change is the love story, which w

Ep. 407 - Nosferatu (1922)

Dec 12 2024 69 mins  
Episode 407: The Crew's going silent while watching F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu. This 1922 German silent film was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Stoker’s widow sued and the court ordered all prints to be destroyed. But like a vampire, the film has been resurrected, or restored from a few surviving prints. And thank god, cause the film set the blueprint for

Ep. 406 - Gladiator II (2024)

Dec 03 2024 64 mins  
Episode 406: The Crew's glad Ridley Scott finally got a rhino in the colosseum. This 24 year awaited sequel is out in theaters, and the Crew has some questions about the plot and character development, but zero issues with the production values. Worth the wait?

Ep. 405 - Gladiator (2000)

Nov 26 2024 77 mins  
Episode 405: The Crew's winning the mob while watching Ridley Scott’s Gladiator. This Best Picture winner announced to the world that Russell Crowe was a movie star. He went on to win Best Actor that year and enjoyed a decade of box office hits. Ridley Scott got a career resurgence after a series of box office disappointments or flat out disasters. But does this film hold up af

Ep. 404 - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

Nov 19 2024 63 mins  
Episode 404: The Crew's eating their favorite Texas BBQ while watching Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This low budget horror flick spawned a franchise and made Tobe Hooper a household name among horror fans. Hooper made the low budget work for the film; the grain and handheld camerawork add to the sense of dread. But make no mistake, this film has incredible dolly s

Ep. 403 - The Third Man (1949)

Sep 30 2024 67 mins  
Episode 403: The Crew's lost in the sewers while watching Carol Reed’s The Third Man. This film was voted Best British film of all time by the BFI, and the direction and photography are really strong. But the plot is thin, don’t think about it and stare at the pretty pictures. The Crew discusses… If you like our music intro, head over to Soundcloud and hear more amazing m

Ep. 402 - Leave Her to Heaven (1945)

Sep 19 2024 73 mins  
Episode 402: The Crew's wearing their most buoyant life jackets while watching John Stahl’s Leave Her to Heaven. This 40’s film noir is in color, which some critics use to point out it isn’t a noir. The Crew doesn’t solve that debate, but this film is a rarely seen masterpiece. With a terrific chilling performance from Gene Tierney. The Crew discusses… If you like our

Ep. 401 - Double Indemnity (1944)

Sep 10 2024 67 mins  
Episode 401: The Crew's wearing their best anklets while watching Billy Wilder’s Double Indemnity. This 40’s film noir classic has been copied and ripped off ad nauseam. Even if you’ve never seen it before, nothing will surprise you. It’s a victim of its own success. But the cinematography and costume design still look great today. The Crew discusses… If you like our
