James Kislingbury

Cruz Flores and James Kislingbury love movies and love yelling at each other about them. Whether they're good, bad, involve lesbian vampires, or a good old fashioned vigilante shooting spree, we'll be there, over thinking all of it.

    #492 Chandler's THE LONGEST DAY (1962, dir. Annakin, Martin, and Wicki)

    EPISODE #492-- We fail to resist the urge to return to World War II with the epic, polyphonic invasion picture, THE LONGEST DAY (1962, dir. et al). It's a big one. It's a fun one. . . the episode, not the war. The war was bad. We probably talk about that a bit during the episode. But bad for its necessity, not bad in the way that so many people on Instagram seem to think that fighting the Nazis was a bad idea. It's crazy how many of those dudes are just out there now and allowed to exist. You'd think a guy named Mark Zuckerberg would be a little more sensitive about Naziism running rampant on his platform, but no. Anyways, what was I talking about? Oh, yeah: THE LONGEST DAY. We also chat about the 1967 TV series THE PRISONER (which is available on the Criterion Channel, currently), APOLLO 13, 1966's WATARI, and the original BEETLEJUICE.

    #491 Camus' THE GREAT ESCAPE (1963, dir. Johnn Sturgis)

    EPISODE #491-- We return to the trenchs to talk about one of the great dad movies, one of the great WWI movies, and probably just one of the great films, in general, the 1963 classic THE GREAT ESCAPE. We also talk about I SHOT ANDY WARHOL (1996), as well as Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER, Hayao Miyazaki's NAUSICAA: THE VALLEY OF THE WIND, and THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123. Good little episode!

    #490 L'amour's TRUE GRIT (2010, dir. Coen Bros)

    EPISODE #490-- We're talking cowboys, vengeance, and the harrowing absence of God with the classic Coen Bros western, TRUE GRIT (2010). Go see it! We love cowboys and the women who sass them. More of this sort of thing, I say! We also talk HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025), the Sasori sequel SCORPION: DEATH THREAT (1991), and the original, less good, TRUE GRIT (1969).

    #489 Alexi's BILLY JACK (1971, dir. Tom Laughlin)

    EPISODE #489-- We delve into the world of vetspolitation/counter-culture/biker/American Indian movies with the baffling and actually kind of cool BILLY JACK (1971), directed by Tom Laughlin, who also wrote and started in the movie. The film is about a half-Indian Green Beret who takes off his shoes to karate kick guys. Yes, Quentin Tarantino is obsessed with this movie, how did you guess? We also talk about A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992, dir. Penny Marshall), SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991, dir. John Demme)), Apple TV's WIDOW'S BAY (2026 - ), JAPAN'S LONGEST DAY (1967, dir.

    #488 Poe's YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES (1985, dir. Barry Levinson)

    EPISODE #489-- We're back on our BS with the pivotal action-adventure film YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES (1985) directed by Barry Levinson (The Diner guy? really? Okay. I guess so). It's a nice return to form, as we do love England's most famous, non-Masterpiece Theater-based detective. We also recommend, as per usual, a bunch of other bangers, including (and it's a lot of movies, so get a pen out) THE SHEEP DETECTIVES (2026, dir. Kyle Balda), NIGHT MOVES (1975, dir. Arthur Penn), PUTNEY SWOPE (1969, dir. Robert Downey Sr.), ACROSS 110th STREET (1972, dir. Barry Shear), THE DARJEELING LIMITED (2008, dir. Wes Anderson), and THE GENERAL (1926, dir. Buster Keaton). Like I said, it's a wild one. Oh, also PREDATOR: BADLANDS (2025, dir. Tratchenberg). LINKS-- Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

    #486 Marlowe's MEPHISTO (1981, dir. István Szabó)

    EPISODE #486-- For today's episode we talk about the unfortunately ever-green tale on ambition, temptation, and Nazism, MEPHISTO (1981), directed by István Szabó. It's good stuff. The movie, I mean, not the encroaching reality of fascism. That stuff sucks. We also talk about such hit films as STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE (2016, dir. Gareth Edwards), MADADAYO (1993, dir. Akira Kurosawa), and SCANDAL (1951, dir. Akira Kurosawa). Also, a whole lot of other movies. It's a movie podcast. What do you expect? LINKS-- Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.
