    Denver Film Festival 2023 Part 2 (Hey Viktor!, Late Night with The Devil, Monster)

    Six movies and a lot to say, so it's another two-parter! We visited the 46th Denver Film Festival this year and got to see a whole grab-bag of raw horrors and raw dramas! Lot of rawness this year! In this second part, we cover our last three entries: The meta mockumentary Hey Viktor! and the 1998 movie it's based on, Smoke Signals, the *instant* cult horror classic Late Night with The Devil, and the sleepy-warm drama of Japan's Monster. Want to sound esoteric to your friends about a bunch of titles that haven't hit streaming yet? Listen in!  Chapters: (00:00) Hey Viktor! / Smoke Signals (17:44) Late Night with The Devil (29:47) Monster (34:17) Closing Thoughts

    Yee Haw Y'all (Films About Texas!)

    *This episode was recorded on July 9, 2023* THE STRIKE IS OVER!!! Now that we're not scabbing, we'd like to take you on a vague and existential trip to the land of freeways, hitchhikers, and oodles of banks to rob. With the Lone Star State constantly being the center of news stories, we decided to dive into the cinematic stories that portray Graham's homeland. What does the American psyche say about this land that's bigger than most European countries? Hear us talk about titles like: No Country for Old Men, Bernie, Paris Texas, Vengeance, Office Space, Red Rocket, Friday Night Lights, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and more!

    Movies with Less Oscar Nominations than Blonde (Oscars 2023 Nomination Reaction!)

    We've come full circle and are talking about the Oscars once again! If you don't have anyone to talk awards season with or feel completely out of the loop, this is the episode for you! We discuss the merits of bullying children on the internet, the movies that got snubbed by the academy, Michelle Williams' hair, who Andrea Riseborough is, and Amber's sudden popularity. We also, of course, give out our predictions for this year's ceremony. Embrace the chaos and take a listen!

    The Banshees of Inisherin: Monologgd!

    Merry Christmas ya filthy, friendless donkeys. We tried an experimental new episode format where we only talk about ONE film in a short amount of time. The experiment failed, but the conversation is good! Come join the discussion on "The Banshees of Inisherin" in this follow-up to our Martin McDonagh episode! Donkeys! Fingers! Despair! Don't want to talk about politics? Don't have anything else interesting to discuss? Put on HBO Max and watch this movie with them! Then sit around the fire and listen to this episode.
