A month of movies meeting movies to form a good trilogy... in theory.

    The Straight Story (1999)

    The Straight Story (1999)

    The Third Part in our Driving with Death Trilogy
    Although David Lynch's THE STRAIGHT STORY didn't make the cut for our Book Club (shame on you Best Movie Year Ever!) but it's better than END OF DAYS (another strange omission from the book on 1999 in film) and so it gets to be included in a proper trilogy. On the definitive movie podcast on movie trilogies. That are not actually trilogies.

    Okay, we are going a bit off the rails here so how about a hot take? This is better Lynch than MULHOLLAND DRIVE. Enjoy! Or don't!

    Catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

    Follow along at our Patreon page as once a month (although sometimes more) we read AND watch films from 1999 for BEST MOVIE YEAR EVER by Brian Raftery!

    Speed (1994)

    The Second Part in our Driving with Death Trilogy
    They don't make them like they used to. Because every movie coming out now Is. Simply. Not. SPEED.

    From the auteur Jan de Bone we were introduced to the next great Hollywood star in Sandra Bullock (apologies to DEMOLITION MAN) and Keanu was anointed as The Next Great Action Star (though THE MATRIX and JOHN WICK would still be some years away.) And then there's Jeff Daniels as the boozing, cynical Obi-Wan Kenobi who knows everything about bombs and almost nothing about sober love-making. Even these show notes are making me want to watch SPEED again. As. Should. You.

    Sorcerer (1977)

    The First Part in our Driving with Death Trilogy
    We open with an attack on Star Wars and then quickly move to expressing annoyance at the auteur Nicolas Winding Refn's interview style. Populist and independent cinema... no one is safe with us!

    Much like the characters in William Friedkin's SORCERER. Just a bunch of dudes driving through the jungle with dynamite in the back of the truck and two brave podcasters airing their various grievances. Same same!

    Patreon Preview of Best Movie Year Ever: THE MUMMY

    Patreon Preview of Best Movie Year Ever: THE MUMMY

    If you have a buck instead of a book you too can time travel with us back to 1999!
    The renaissance of Brendan Fraser as a beloved actor owes a lot to his crowd-pleasing adventures with Rachel Weisz in THE MUMMY; a movie better than it has any right to be and one that your hosts thought of themselves as too cool for upon initial release.

    Twenty-five years later they are recording a podcast on the not-so-hip mummy movie and it is clear that these two guys were never cooler than Mr. Fraser and Ms. Weisz. Spoilers!

    Enjoy and catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!

    Batman Begins (2005)

    Batman Begins (2005)

    The Third Part in our Liam Neeson is a Short-Term Mentor
    When a podcast host programs a Batman movie for a his co-host who usually shows up to record in a Batman t-shirt he expects a little more respect shown to BATMAN BEGINS! Alas, this is an episode in which one man's hatred of Christopher Nolan is put to the test when combined with his love of The Dark Knight... but not that movie because we needed to complete our trilogy on Liam Neeson mentoring young people to fairly bad results. Stay tuned for our episode on THE DARK KNIGHT RISES later this summer when it is included in a trilogy with EYES WIDE SHUT. Enjoy!

    We dare to go after the great Martin Scorsese. And also Cameron Diaz.
