    #472 Top Ten of 2025 (2025)

    EPISODE #472-- Today Cruz and James run down their respective top ten films from the previous year. I always say this, but 2025 was a weird year. It was also, thankfully, weird in a unique way. Lots of good movies. Lots of great movies. Maybe even some classics in there. Give it a listen! LINKS: Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

    #470 Miura's HARAKIRI (1962, dir. Masaki Kobayashi)

    EPISODE #470-- We commemorate the glorious dead with the classic film HARAKIRI (or "Hara-kiri," depending on how particular you want to be), directed by none other than the firebrand Masaki Kobayashi. This is a classic Japanese film, a classic samurai movie, and one of the all-around important works of all of the 20th century. We also turned out a pretty good episode about it. We also briefly discuss BAHUBALI Parts 1 and 2 (2015 and 2017, dir. S.S. Rajamouli), SWORD OF DOOM (1966, dir. Kihachi Okamoto), PREDATOR: BADLANDS (2025, dir. Dan Trachtenberg), and MR.

    #469 Maas' THE BRINKS JOB (1978, dir. William Friedkin)

    EPISODE #469 Nice. Today we talk about the best of the worst William Friedkin movies, 1978's THE BRINKS JOB. Or is it the worst of the best? That sounds worse, but I'm not sure it is. Anyways, there's a lot of guys in this movie. If you want look at or to see a guy, of some sort, there's worse movies to go with. Anyways, we love Hurricane Billy. We also chat about a bunch of old THE SIMPSONS (1989 - ) episodes, and recommend Peter Yates' BULLITT (1968), Kenji Misumi's KEN (1964), and Martin Scorsese's AGE OF INNOCENCE (1993).

    #468 Goethe's PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (1974, dir. Brian Di Palma)

    EPISODE #468 We wrap up Spooktagon 2025 with Brian di Palma's weird, minor masterpiece, PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (1974) (not to be confused with the Kiss made-for-TV-movie, PHANTOM OF THE PARK, which has nothing to do with anything). It's a good movie. It's a good episode. It's got everything: The devil, rock operas, pills, and Looney Toons BS. It's great. Give it a listen. We also rap about JUBAL (1956), Robert Altman's NASHVILLE (1975), and, of course, THE VENTURE BROS (2003 - 2023). What a run. Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

    #465 Steinback's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1981, dir. Jack Clayton)

    EPISODE #465 Today we enter into the SPOOKTAGON, the very real and very important series we do every year, in which we pretend that we don't do horror movies all the time. Anyways, today we tackle the long-lost Disney flick SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1981). We also talk about HBO's TASK (2025) and PEACEMAKER, Season 2 (2025), SUPER SONS (2025), the latest season of SLOW HORSES (2025) on Apple TV or Apple+ or whatever they're calling it, as well as the good Paul Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (2025).  ALSO: As I said in the introduction, we had a lot of issues with the audio glitching out. I tried to fix it, but, I think, even if I did, it's not our best. Bummer of an episode. This is why you gotta support the arts, people! LINKS: Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.
