    #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.

    #483 Maimonides' GOD TOLD ME TO (1976, dir. Larry Cohen)

    EPISODE #483-- We slam headfirst into the car crash of a genre-bender, GOD TOLD ME TO (1976), which tries to combine a police procedural, UFOs, horror, and, I don't know what else, into a real must-see mess of a movie. Seriously. It's almsot good at every single turn. It begs to be watched. We also chat about George Clozeau's LE CORBEAU (1943), Tim Burton's BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE (2025), Carol Reed's NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH (1940), and Alfred Hitchcock's THE LADY VANISHES (1938).
