36.4 Don't Google "Roy Cohn's Bedroom"

Dec 27 2024 45 mins

Luke and I start off by discussing Ali Abbassi’s controversial biopic “The Apprentice.” We try to talk about the President Elect’s record as a rapist, his friendship with Roy Cohn, and well... at least we tried. Meander we did through our cinema experiences while Luke is in Deutschland. We discuss what we’ve seen, what we haven’t, and then Luke takes plenty of time scro

36.3 Beetlejuice Squared

Dec 21 2024 22 mins

We’re running a few weeks late due to the release schedule in Deutchland, but here is Luke and I talking about experiencing Tim Burton’s latest big hit and how it played out down in the Potsdammer Platz.

36.2 Joker 2- Wahnsinn Für Zwei

Nov 23 2024 24 mins

Luke is going to school in Berlin this semester and there’s no good reason why he can’t keep up with the release schedule. In between Brewmaster classes, history classes, and yes, a true to form Deutch Kino Class, Luke has been streaming Prime and heading down to you guessed it, Berlin Alexanderplatz, or Zoo Station to see what it is the rest of the world says is great... or su

36.1 Batman Schmatman

Nov 16 2024 96 mins

Once again we are faced with the fact that sometimes the best conversations are the meandering ones we have after the commentary is over. I asked Warren Hayes and Paul Emig to stay over a little loner, have a couple of beers, and talk about our favorite caped crusader, why comic book films are fading, and why they still enthrall us. But first, David Lynch. And later, the English Pa

36 Batman (1989)

Oct 20 2024 130 mins

In one of the bravest acts of Cinema History, Warner Brothers decided to give Tim Burton, a former Disney animator with a whopping two directing credits to his name, the keys to the Batcave. One of Burton’s most controversial decisions, casting comedic actor Michael Keaton as the brooding millionaire Bruce Wayne. The cinema event of the summer, Batman 1989 touched pop culture in

35.1 The Phantom Bonus

Sep 22 2024 109 mins

After we recorded The Phantom Menace Commentary, Warren and Paul and I pontificated on the many reasons the film did not succeed even though it had tons of pluses to it. We discuss the action figure market, the genius of Carrie Fisher, and that thing we all hate with a passion: sand.

35 The Phantom Menace (1999)

Aug 22 2024 136 mins

After sixteen years of a fanbase growing into adulthood, George Lucas dropped fifty millon dollars of Lucasfilm Limited’s money into the surest bet in Hollywood history: The first film in a new trilogy of Star Wars films. Though distributed by Fox and produced by Rick McCallum, Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace would be exactly like the first film from 1977. Lucas would ha

34.12 Hannibal And Hannibal

Jun 30 2024 51 mins

As will be explained in the subsequent conversation, Luke and I came across two very different films called Hannibal and decided to do a double feature in a day. The result... was very dour.

34.11 Wild Movie Weekend

Jun 18 2024 61 mins

We had a helluva weekend folks. Friday night, the boy and an caught The Phantom Menace for the 25th anniversary re-release. Saturday, we caught Jeanne du Barry with Johnny Depp. Starring Johnny Depp, I mean we didn’t go see the movie with him. And Sunday we woke up and caught the first screening of The Fall Guy. Join Luke and I as we try to navigate our feelings around such an em

34.10 The James Bond Theme Song Bracket

May 18 2024 55 mins

Just after we finished the bracket for the best James Bond film, Luke and I kept on going, using the same bracket and the same faulty feeders to determine the best James Bond theme song. Just like the film bracket, the results here might surprise you. Jack White and Alicia Keyes made cinema history when they collaborated on what White called “the most divisive thing I’ve eve
