Episode 304: The Crew’s taking inventory of their Nicolas Cage props while watching Tom Gormican’s The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. This meta comedy is a career celebration of Nicolas Cage, but it’s Pedro Pascal who steals the show. Pedro’s facial expressions are heartwarming and goofy fun. And director Tom Gormican sets the tone perfectly, it’s even more impressive when you realize it’s only his second feature film. The Crew discusses…

Episode 303: The Crew’s farting to prove they’re human while watching Robert Egger’s The Northman. Egger graduates from indie filmmaker to big budget epic filmmaker in his third directorial effort. This brutal Viking revenge film is also his most accessible, even if the film is struggling to recoup its $90 million budget. The Northman is in theaters, go see it before listening… cause of those spoilers. The Crew discusses.

Episode 302: The Crew’s readying their third googly eye while watching Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once. This multiverse film has so much energy and heart its easy to forgive most of its shortcomings. The cast is fantastic and the script gives all of them their moment. Some of us liked it more than others. The Crew discusses…

Episode 301: The Crew’s spinning records for a psycho while watching Clint Eastwood’s Play Misty for Me. Eastwood’s directorial debut was released the same year as one of his most iconic roles, Dirty Harry. And the director of Dirty Harry (Don Siegel) has a small part in this film as a bartender. Eastwood shows the promise of the director he would become; infusing Misty with lots of energy and some cool low budget techniques. Eastwood’s direction in this film has been compared to Hitchcock, but we think it feels more Romero. The Crew discusses…

Episode 300: The Crew’s renting their masks and capes for the cult orgy while watching Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. The film was called an erotic thriller when it was released, but the sex isn’t sexy and the thriller/suspense plot isn’t resolved… which is the point. Real life couple at the time, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman caused quite the publicity storm when cast. The nudity and orgy scenes were built up to legendary proportions, but today look pretty tame. The Crew discusses…

Episode 299: The Crew’s disturbed by the clown driving around Miami while watching Lawrence Kasdan’s Body Heat. William Hurt and Kathleen Turner became stars with their seedy lawyer and femme fatale performances. And Kasdan comes out of the gate strong with his directorial debut, after writing some of the biggest blockbusters of the early 80’s. John Barry’s score is great and the cinematography has a nice 40’s noir feel. The Crew discusses…

Episode 298: The Crew’s sharpening their ice picks while watching Paul Verhoeven’s Basic Instinct. This steamy thriller was a huge box-office hit in 1992…. everyone was talking about the vagina shot and all the sex scenes. But the sex scenes build suspense, cause when people do it, they get stabbed in the face with an ice pick. Sharon Stone steals every scene and redefines the role of a femme fatale. Jerry Goldsmith’s pitch perfect score and the editing got Oscar nominations. The Crew discusses…

Episode 297: The Crew’s wearing their best sexy nurse outfits while watching Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill. Put your Hitchcock comparisons aside and marvel at one the 80’s best erotic thrillers (or slasher film – it’s a fine line here). De Palma makes good use of his trademark visuals, adding splitscreens and split diopters to help sell the suspense and tell the story visually. There’s a 6 minute museum seduction sequence that holds your attention without a single line of dialogue spoken. The Crew discusses…

Episode 296: The Crew’s eating rabbit stew while watching Adrian Lyne’s Fatal Attraction. This sexy thriller made every man in the 80’s think twice before cheating. And was a huge box-office success that exploded all over pop culture. The performances, the cinematography, and the editing are picture perfect. The Crew discusses…

Episode 295: The Crew’s licking each others bio-ports while watching David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ. This $15 million production was a box-office bomb, grossing less than $3 million. The film was released 4 weeks after The Matrix, and while both films share similar themes, The Matrix was a lot more crowd-pleasing. Regardless of money, Cronenberg milks this concept for every weird body horror moment. Music and Production Design are excellent! The Crew discusses…
