War Machine Vs. War Horse

The First Part in our Sex Pact Trilogy For our latest trilogy we make a sex pact. Not with each other but with three films on films where friends take "the next step" together. Unfortunately for our first entry in AMERICAN PIE it's the likes of Jason Biggs and Chris Klein awkwardly making these moves on the likes of the Alyson Hannigan and Mean Suvari. Thankfully all of them mostly come out unscathed as we remark on the strange sweetness of this perverted movie that was THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY for the blink-182 crowd. What we are saying is that in our 40s we are no better now than we were then. Especially when it comes to our fandom of Natasha Lyonne!

If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999! Toni Collette should have won an Oscar for and Bruce Willis at his best in THE SIXTH SENSE! This is the episode where we do not trash a universally loved modern classic ("modern" so we don't feel so old on this film's twenty-fifth anniversary) HOWEVER... the show does open with a bit of some IT FOLLOWS rules lawyering. But then it's right back to the love fest for M. Night Shyamalan's biggest hit. No, it's not THE VILLAGE. We already played that hip card on a prior episode so please go download that after you listen. Enjoy! Enjoy and catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part in our Driving with Death Trilogy Although David Lynch's THE STRAIGHT STORY didn't make the cut for our Book Club (shame on you Best Movie Year Ever!) but it's better than END OF DAYS (another strange omission from the book on 1999 in film) and so it gets to be included in a proper trilogy. On the definitive movie podcast on movie trilogies. That are not actually trilogies. Okay, we are going a bit off the rails here so how about a hot take? This is better Lynch than MULHOLLAND DRIVE.

The Second Part in our Driving with Death Trilogy They don't make them like they used to. Because every movie coming out now Is. Simply. Not. SPEED. From the auteur Jan de Bone we were introduced to the next great Hollywood star in Sandra Bullock (apologies to DEMOLITION MAN) and Keanu was anointed as The Next Great Action Star (though THE MATRIX and JOHN WICK would still be some years away.) And then there's Jeff Daniels as the boozing, cynical Obi-Wan Kenobi who knows everything about bombs and almost nothing about sober love-making. Even these show notes are making me want to watch SPEED again. As. Should. You. Catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The First Part in our Driving with Death Trilogy We open with an attack on Star Wars and then quickly move to expressing annoyance at the auteur Nicolas Winding Refn's interview style. Populist and independent cinema... no one is safe with us! Much like the characters in William Friedkin's SORCERER. Just a bunch of dudes driving through the jungle with dynamite in the back of the truck and two brave podcasters airing their various grievances. Same same!

If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999! The renaissance of Brendan Fraser as a beloved actor owes a lot to his crowd-pleasing adventures with Rachel Weisz in THE MUMMY; a movie better than it has any right to be and one that your hosts thought of themselves as too cool for upon initial release. Twenty-five years later they are recording a podcast on the not-so-hip mummy movie and it is clear that these two guys were never cooler than Mr. Fraser and Ms. Weisz. Spoilers!

The Third Part in our Liam Neeson is a Short-Term Mentor When a podcast host programs a Batman movie for a his co-host who usually shows up to record in a Batman t-shirt he expects a little more respect shown to BATMAN BEGINS! Alas, this is an episode in which one man's hatred of Christopher Nolan is put to the test when combined with his love of The Dark Knight... but not that movie because we needed to complete our trilogy on Liam Neeson mentoring young people to fairly bad results. Stay tuned for our episode on THE DARK KNIGHT RISES later this summer when it is included in a trilogy with EYES WIDE SHUT. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Liam Neeson is a Short-Term Mentor Trilogy How did one podcaster spend his May the Fourth? By running out on his sleeping family for a late night twenty-fifth anniversary screening of the George Lucas opus STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE. He then spent a week questioning his commitment to cinema and this podcast and pondering this question: if this podcast sticks around for two decades will people come around to our way of thinking or do we need to be bought out by Disney first to gain that wistful afterglow? We will probably be dead by then. Enjoy! Catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part in our Pressure of the Pedestal Trilogy In which Sofia Coppola's nepo baby status is questioned by one host and the other can't get over Josh Hartnett's hair. However that is the case even if we were discussing THE FACULTY. This episode is on THE VIRGIN SUICIDES. Though the hosts may prefer to rewatch THE FACULTY. Less suicide. Obviously. Enjoy!

The Second Part in our Pressure of the Pedestal Trilogy We Pick Flick for the second part in this month's trilogy with Reese Witherspoon in a star-making performance (sorry, she was merely the fuddy-duddy in CRUEL INTENTIONS) in Alexander Payne's ELECTION. Competing with the likes of a young Chris Klein at the height of his himbo powers we discuss how this look at high school politics ages somewhat gracefully into middle age.

The Third Part in our Dealing with the Devil in 1997 Trilogy One host talks about what a GREAT ASS Connie Neilsen has and how Keanu Reeves has his head... ALL THE WAY UP IT. Or something to that effect. The other host presents a childhood memory of walking in on his parents watching THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE and we wrap up our dealings with the underworld by debating the merits of bringing about the antichrist or being forced to watch SPAWN again.

The Second Part in our Dealing with the Devil in 1997 Trilogy Dr. Alan Grant is at it again and THIS TIME IN SPACE as continue dealing with the devil of 1997 with the release of EVENT HORIZON. For one host this a pleasant first time watch of unpleasantness while the other host remembers fondly the teenage musing in a Hot Topic on the sick cruelty that Morpheus is exposed to while simply doing his job. Also the audio commentary informed us that the producers found Joely Richardson very hot. So maybe this podcast isn't such a waste of your EVENT HORIZON audio time after all. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Dealing with the Devil in 1997 Trilogy So it's come to this. We (and perhaps you, dear listener) needed a reprieve from the year of cinema in 1999 and we find ourselves a mere two years prior... watching and discussing SPAWN? Blame the need for superhero silliness after the serious business of VARSITY BLUES for our current plight of watching lifeless action, in your face "politically incorrect" humor from John Leguizamo as a cross between Salacious Crumb and Jabba the Hutt and Martin Sheen right before the life jacket that was to be playing President Bartlett. There is no life jacket for us for this is our episode on SPAWN. Enjoy and catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part in our Taming of the 1999 Shrew Trilogy One host finds Julia Stiles AND Heath Ledger insufferable while the other is more bothered by the supposed nice guy act of Joseph-Gordon Levitt. Which is to say that maybe middle aged men should not sit in judgement of the charms of teen romcom hits from their youth. They do however really dislike labeling 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU a "cult classic." On that we and the fanbase for this film can agree. And also Allison Janney. Always Allison Janney. Especially playing an erotica writing guidance counselor named Ms. Perky. Movies are the best. Enjoy!

The Second Part in our Taming of the 1999 Shrew Trilogy One man faces down forty by watching CRUEL INTENTIONS for the first time. Then he moved on to the audio commentary track (which required finding a used DVD) AND THEN this man moved on to CRUEL INTENTIONS 2. Which was just a series of unaired television episodes continuing this porny universe starring a young Amy Adams. Still not satisfied he moves to a actual porn with a terribly titled adult film parody of this Sarah Michelle Gellar and Reese Witherspoon classic. Research was done. The other host just keeps bringing up Selma Blair in HELLBOY. Enjoy! Did we mention that you can get more of this in our Movie Book Club episodes on Patreon for BEST MOVIE YEAR EVER?
