It's very simple - we discuss The Last Jedi. Moderately spoiler free the first 20 minutes, then we spill the beans on everything in the last 40.
The guys start learning their alphabet by talking about the letter A and movies beginning with "A" that influenced their life. We range through a number of movies from our past including All That Jazz, American Beauty, Apocalypse Now, All the President's Men, and more. Enjoy as we walk through our movie histories and discuss hot topics like can we enjoy art if the artist is a monster, can you overlook obvious plot holes in awesome movies, and if the Lian Neeson Mark Felt movie actually came out. Our music as always is from URL: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Latch_Swing/demo_2008/HungariaComments: http://freemusicarchive.org/Curators: WFMU, Free Albums GaloreCopyright: Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 France: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/fr/
The guys decide to just riff on movies and life for 50 minutes. You think that'd be kind of boring, but it's actually fascinating. No really. They debate if Atonement has a good ending, discuss if A Serious Man is a modern Biblical tale, challenge the audience to defend not liking Miles Davis and Keanue Reeves, drink scotch loudly in the background of the other person talking, and announce a new theme for the podcast. Enjoy!
Much like Rick Deckard, we are back after an unexplained absence. The guys get back into the swing of things with a short episode going over some of the movies they've watched recently including Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049, Dunkirk, and more. Enjoy the show and the new theme music as well!
We're back! And we are back in time for our favorite month - October! If you are fan of thrillers or scary movies, you need to check out the man we are discussing this episode. Mario Bava was an accomplished director and cinematographer whose works set the stage for the slasher movies of the 1980s and 1990s. We make some recommendations of Bava films and a few others, plus debate a modern masterpiece.

Set aside some time for our super podcast. The guys tackle the films of Billy Wilder this month and begin with his films from the 1940s. Can you trust Walter Neff's account in Double Indemnity? Is Sunset Boulevard Wilder's darkest movie, or is it The Lost Weekend? We close with Robert's spoiler free review of Spectre, and debate whether James Bond movies have to be good films to be good Bond movies.

Just in time for your post-candy crash, we wrap up our discussion on horror remakes. We wonder out loud if good big budget horror movies are possible, why so many remakes are simply lazy carbon copies, and how many mind-numblingly dumb things can Robert say in this episode.

True story, this episode was recorded October 22 but never published. That means you get to enjoy a two-parter where the roommates talk about some of the best and most high-profile horror remakes.
