War Machine Vs. War Horse

The First Part in our Taming of the 1999 Shrew Trilogy One host compares this early 1999 hit for the young adult crowd to the works of George Bernard Shaw and Spike Lee. Specifically Usher's appearance as the high school prom DJ as a callback to Samuel L. Jackson's work in DO THE RIGHT THING. It is at this point that I remind you that he has a very disagreeable cohost. Enjoy, if you can! Did we mention that you can get more of this in our Movie Book Club episodes on Patreon for BEST MOVIE YEAR EVER? If you've made it this far into these show notes maybe you will follow us for a dollar. Either way, enjoy!

The Third Part in our Follow the Non-Linear 90s Trilogy The best way to educate young people in their pursuit of the German language is to watch Franks Potente run. And run some more. Preferably with cool red hair. That's about all that one host remembers from his high school foreign language class while the other host is still airing grievances about his father's lack of an opinion on THE MATRIX... but that's for next episode. Speaking of which subscribe to our Patreon as we read our 2024 book club on the 25th anniversary of the films of 1999 as documented by BEST. MOVIE. YEAR. EVER. by Brian Raftery. This month has featured three of the films from that book and how the 90s loved telling stories out of chronological order. That should be very comforting to any of our regular listeners who try to follow the thread that is our movie grumbling. Watching RUN LOLA RUN now is just exhausting. Enjoy!

The Second Part in our Follow the Non-Linear 90s Trilogy Back in 1999 one host was trying to convince his buddies to go see John August and Doug Liman's GO instead of seeing THE MATRIX for a third time while the other lesser host was somehow privy to stars of the adult entertainment world... but had no respect for the work of Canadian great Sarah Polley. Thus begins yet another disagreement in the joys of youth. However we do agree that Jay Mohr would not make for a convincing drug dealer as there are still some things that almost anyone can agree on. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Follow the Non-Linear 90s Trilogy Christopher Nolan is like a bad penny on this podcast which is to say that he's good for the numbers (or at least he used to be before we constantly negged him) but also manages to crash the first episode of a year where we will primarily focus on the film of 1999... with a film from 1998. Such is his immense talent! For his debut feature film FOLLOWING we try to create some distance from what would follow in his filmography but end up extolling the virtues of his Batman flicks while also relaying a horrible date night experience with DUNKIRK.

If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999! One host somehow avoided THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT until twenty-five years had passed and the other in his senile years is starting to blame this happy pop culture craze of his youth for the Snyderverse. Or something like that. At least a shot at JJ Abrams is taken if you subscribe to our Patreon for the full episode in our inaugural episode on the book BEST. MOVIE. YEAR. EVER. by Brian Raftery!

The Third Part in our Stuck at School Trilogy Our 2023 holiday episode features an "instant Christmas classic" (if such a thing exists other than the mighty ELF) in Alexander Payne's THE HOLDOVERS. What does the future hold for this film in future shopping seasons? Repeated airings on Freeform? No! It will reside on Peacock! And thus we must promote it on our soapbox which often features the great work of the heartthrob of our time: Paul Giamatti. Merry Christmas!

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. Our final chapter on Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION is a simple story about a boy in a Frankenstein mask who meets an older lady over a romantic business transaction and the peeping tom teenagers who trespass in his shame for their own amusement. As do we. We hope you have enjoyed our 2023 Movie Book Club and return next year for a little trip to 1999! See you in that year. Enjoy!

The Second Part in our Stuck at School Trilogy In which revisiting HAPPY DEATH DAY (again and again) causes us to be both perplexed and increasingly distressed that star Jessica Rothe does not star in EVERYTHING after her charming (and farting) performance in this slasher comedy take on GROUNDHOG DAY. We are simple men with simple pleasures AS LONG AS those pleasures don't include the sci-fi sequel HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U. Enjoy!

The First Part in our Stuck at School Trilogy High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds There sits Tobey boy sitting oh so proudly Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck. I'd like to continue the show notes in such a fashion but it would be disrespectful to Curtis Hanson's impressive followup to the all-time classic L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. To do so he needed more than just one Wonder Boy by casting a great ensemble that includes Frances McDormand, Robert Downey Jr, Rip Torn, Katie Holmes and Michael Douglas as one of the title characters in the Michael Chabon adaptation of WONDER BOYS. Oh, and also Tobey Maguire. Enjoy (as much as you can with Mr. Maguire present.) We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. Even MORE practical knowledge is gained by reading Quentin Tarantino's Cinema Speculation: if you are Clint Eastwood all you need is an accordion and some paper mache to break out of Alcatraz. And some other things too. What you don't need is one host being a killjoy. Did we mention that Mr. Eastwood is nude in the opening sequence of this film. QT does. We might as well respect the author and auteur's wishes and mention that in these lowly show notes. Enjoy! Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part in our Obsessed Behind the Wheel Trilogy We pat ourselves on the back for going with international cinema in our finale for this trilogy on drivers instead of THE OBVIOUS CHOICE of Mel Gibson in the Richer Donner classic CONSPIRACY THEORY. Look this is no PACIFIC HEIGHTS starring Michael Keaton episode. This one has crying! And driving! And then more crying! Also something called UNCLE VANYA. Enjoy!

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. Finally some practical knowledge is gained by reading Quentin Tarantino's Cinema Speculation: if you need a man you can count on in a brothel, Tommy Lee Jones is your guy. QT calls this the greatest combination of character study and action movie ever made and we try to keep up with his praise by praising a film where a man can't stand his wife and child. But more than that he can't stand someone taking away his wife and child... that he can't stand. Enjoy! Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Second Part in our Obsession Behind the Wheel Trilogy We get behind the wheel for the first time (!!) with a John Carpenter flick in the Stephen King film adaptation of CHRISTINE. One host is revisiting a favorite of his youth while his co-host was horrified at a small dorky teenager making out with a tall beautiful woman and in turn getting his best friend hurt during a football game. With good reason. This movie is truly a horrifying NEVER BEEN KISSED. Enjoy! We hope you join us by supporting our Patreon Movie Book Club episodes and not deciding to read!

Cinema Speculation by Quentin Tarantino to be precise as this is a FULL episode of what we've been covering all year long on our Patreon page. So... welcome all you cheapskates!

If you have a buck instead of a book... we read so you don't have to. We resume our reading of Quentin Tarantino's book of essays and this time it's the shortest chapter on Peter Bogdanovich's blissfully short DAISY MILLER. In keeping with the brevity of both the book and film to be discussed we have a brief chat providing a modest amount of sound and very little meaning. Will MOONLIGHTING vanquish polite society? Sure. Maybe. Does Cybill Shepherd have the same amount of moxie as Kate Winslet in THE HOLIDAY? Absolutely not. Enjoy and keep reading along with us from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

The Third Part of our Building a Better Monster Trilogy PROMETHEUS asked all the questions and answered none. So in the followup Sir Ridley Scott decided to give us some rather dumb answers. SUCH AS: Do androids desire a need for haircuts? Do mere humans need a commentary track to explain the clumsiness and pratfalls as the humans on screen fend off the Alien? And finally when did Russell from Stillwater become so trusting? We apologize for the short break but we return JUST IN TIME for Halloween with our final monster entry in this trilogy in theory!
