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 shots and the sound is phenomenal. The Crew discusses…

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…

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…

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…

Episode 400: The Crew’s really glad pointless voiceover is hardly used today while watching Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing. This 50’s noir (and early heist film) isn’t Kubrick’s best work, but audiences can see the early building blocks of the filmmaker he would become. Marie Windsor is a standout as the femme fatale. The Crew discusses…

Episode 399: The Crew’s wondering what the titular falcon would look like with jewels while watching John Houston’s The Maltese Falcon. This classic 1941 film noir is still entertaining and enjoyable today, thanks to a terrific cast and some fast delivered snappy dialogue. The Crew discusses…

Episode 398: The Crew’s playing golf with shovels and rakes while watching Ron Shelton’s Tin Cup. This 1996 golf “rom-com” was Kevin Costner’s second outing with his Bull Durham director. The script isn’t as good as Bull Durham, but the supporting cast and likability of the leads more than makeup for those shortcomings. The Crew discusses…

The Crew is joined by writer, Nick Roth. Nick’s latest film Hanky Panky is currently streaming. Watch it today!

Episode 397: The Crew’s putting the rose in the front while watching Ron Shelton’s Bull Durham. This 80’s baseball film is more interested in its characters than the actual outcome of any of the games. And the script is so good no one cares… it’s funny and 80’s sexy. The Crew discusses…

Episode 396: The Crew’s dusting off their six shooters and getting back on their horses while watching Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One. This big budget western is the first chapter of four. And while you can call this film a vanity project, Costner brings his A-game to his first film he’s directed in twenty years. Some of the Crew has problems with the runtime, and the fact the story isn’t finished yet. But some of the Crew called it the best film of the year… so far. The Crew discusses…

Episode 395: The Crew’s taking a sexy limo tour of D.C. while watching Roger Donaldson’s No Way Out. This sexy spy thriller from 1987 was a major step in Kevin Costner’s rise to stardom; releasing less than 3 months after The Untouchables. The supporting cast is great, from Sean Young to a perfect Will Patton. Donaldson’s direction is superb, consistently building suspense. And please watch the film first, cause the Crew spoils the twist. The Crew discusses…
