Episode #460: 'Leviticus' with Justin Kirkland

LEVITICUS is the new Australian horror movie that turns (already quite frightening) gay conversion rituals into something even more haunting. And with us to unpack it is our friend Justin Kirkland, who just happens to have a new podcast exploring (with good humor!) how the Bible has been yielded as a weapon. Then we imagine some classic romances with a devilish twist. What's Good? Alonso - UDM14.com Drea - Bentonville Film Festival 2026!

Episode #459: ‘Disclosure Day’ with Jamelle Bouie

We put DISCLOSURE DAY under the microscope, then talk about some directors whose filmographies reveal hidden secrets. What's Good?

We watch 2004's Tropical Malady from Apichatpong Weerasethakul, director of the 2010 Palme d'Or winner, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.

Episode #454: Count on 'The Sheep Detectives'

If you didn’t have “Hugh Jackman/CGI Talking sheep murder mystery” down as a lock to be both a critical hit and a box office success, you’d be forgiven. Does it help or hurt to know that it’s director did all the MINIONS movies and it’s screenwriter did both THE HANGOVER and HBO’s CHERNOBYL? We get into all of that, plus our favorite moments in talking animal moviedom! What’s Good Alonso - Tacolate at Salt and Straw Drea - roasted edamame Kevin - cleaning up the office for real this time ITIDIC AMC Reports Box Office Recovery?!?
