    “You Can See Everything” + “The Spy Who Came In From The Cold”: Films of 1965

    This week, after Jeff raves about “You Can See Everything”, calling it the “tensest movie he’s ever seen”, the boys head to the Berlin Wall for Martin Ritt’s 1960s Cold War film “The Spy Who Came In From The Cold” starring Richard Burton. Honestly, this movie proved to be one that got better and better the more we talked about it! Don’t worry about John saying some chunks were boring- but the good kind of boring! Based on the John le Carré spy novel, this film intentionally separated itself from the Bond series (“Thunderbolt” was released this year).

    "The Grapes of Wrath": Films of 1940 + "The Uprising" & "Digger": take two

    This week, the boys hop in their jalopy and head west for California to discuss John Ford’s 1940 Masterpiece “The Grapes of Wrath”. Based on John Steinbeck’s novel, of course, this film is not a comedy.

    "The Red Shoes": Films of 1948 + "Resident Evil" (2026) & "Digger"

    This week, the boys head to London and Paris to discuss 1948’s “The Red Shoes”! Our first Powell and Pressburger film; we got to drinking and kept it positive while talking about this absolute classic. From groundbreaking dance sequences to technical achievement to sensational performances, this film blew us away almost as hard as it did Martin Scorsese, who stole some filmmaking ideas for “Raging Bull” and led a restoration effort on this film. John also talked about “Digger”… sort of, and John and Jeff discussed “Resident Evil” (2026).

    "Warrior": Films of 2011 + "Practical Magic 2"

    Hide your China, the boys are at it again with a drink and a discussion of 2011’s “Warrior”. Gavin O’Connor’s film found Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton at the perfect time, and he paired them with legend Nick Nolte for one of his best performances. Jeff also saw “Practical Magic 2” in the theaters on 9/11 and gives a mini-review. Two very different films! They both go well with drinks.
