    The Prestige (2006)

    In this episode, we investigate a rivalry between two magicians, one with a closely guarded secret that the other desperately wants. We discuss this tale of obsession and turn-of-the-century intrigue while unpacking Nolan's narrative design and approach to storytelling. Prepare for loads of Michael Caine impressions.

    Gattaca (1997)

    In this episode, we travel to the not-too-distant future of Andrew Niccol's minimalist sci-fi drama to take a hard look at how it addresses bioethics, eugenics, and determinism. Also, Gore Frickin' Vidal is in this movie.

    The Mask of Zorro (1998)

    The Shadow (1994)

    The sun is shining…but the ice is slippery, just like Alec Baldwin's performance. He's running around with a big schnoz, ripping off his face, and cackling in the breeze, while a madman is running amok and Ian McKellen stands around with nothing to do. This might be the first movie we've covered that gets us some mail. Who can say? The Shadow nose.

    Flash Gordon (1980)

    In this episode, we fight the evil Ming the Merciless and save the lovely Dale Arden with the help of Prince Vultan as the music of Queen plays triumphantly in the background! We tackle race representation, camp, and queerness in the film, and we do exhaustive Brian Blessed impressions to entertain ourselves. And you, of course.

    1h 55m

    Closer (2004)

    Today we head across the pond to follow the intersecting lives of four flawed, very conflicted, contradictory people... a love- and lust-seeking quartet trying to find themselves and what they want in a partner…or rather, a stranger.
