    30 - Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

    In a very special episode the boys are joined by former PNAC host and pro cat nurse Erik to talk Mel Gibson's psycho War World 2 biopic "Hacksaw Ridge". We talk the rise and fall and rise and fall of Mel Gibson, the Chinese box office, even more about how good 2016 films were, how cheap and inept every second of this is along with the absolutely bonkers persecution fantasy cooked up for it's viewers and appreciate just how big Andrew Garfield's hair is in this. Also discussed: Maybe Happy Ending, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, A History of Violence, Midsommar, Prisoners, Bright Future PLUS Ben and Tim both rave about the new Faces of Death remake (?). We will be back next week talking about Denis Villeneuve and Taylor Sheridan's blackpilled 2015 narco horror-procederual film "Sicario".  Thanks as always to Disco and Eric!  Letterboxed: DeadFormatPod Bluesky: DeadFormatPod

    29 - Mysterious Skin (2004)

    The boys are back this week talking Gregg Araki's 2004 child abuse coming of age drama Mysterious Skin. We get into working with child actors, shoegaze, how cool Preston is, Awesome Culture and appreciate the insane degree of difficulty this tightrope act of a movie manages to pull off with absolutely brutal success. This is another one where both of us really hope you actually watch the movie instead of just listening to us prattle. Also discussed: Tenet, Limbo, Black Swan, Nymph( )manic and the Hellraiser quadrilogy. Next week will be a PNAC reunion as friend of the show Erik joins us to talk about Mel Gibson's psychotic, faith based World War 2 epic Hacksaw Ridge.   Thanks as always to Disco and Eric!  Letterboxed: DeadFormatPod Bluesky: DeadFormatPod

    28 - Dragged Across Concrete (2018)

    Fun time is over as Ben brings the boys back into their element with S Craig Zahler's brutal, nasty crooked cop heist nightmare "Dragged Across Concrete". Tim is left utterly confused as to what this movie is and we get into the bizarre hardboiled cop meta-satire and we talk Mel Gibson, the myth of Zahler as right-wing auteur, how the movie uses it's cheapness to it's advantage and wonder is this like the Synder Cut of DTV sleaze? The answer might surprise you. Also discussed: Blood Meridian, All About Lilly Chou-Chou, Little Fish, Obsession, Hereditary, Shortbus and an emergency review of Elliott Tuttle's "Blue Film"^. We will back next week talking Gregg Araki's harrowing 2004 drama "Mysterious Skin".  Thanks as always to Disco and Eric. Letterboxed: DeadFormatPod Bluesky: DeadFormatPod ^ First act spoilers along with a cw for child sex abuse in the "Blue Film" talk, timestamp to skip is 9:00-18:00.

    27 - She's All That (1999)

    Tim and Ben conclude the Spring of Love by going back to 1999 with Robert Iscove's delightful high school Pygmalion riff "She's All That". The boys talk high school, M Night's ghostwriting, what a good song "Kiss Me" still is along with teen movies that still believe in a future that could be good and how even 25+ years later the idea that a 20 year old Rachel Leigh Cook looks disgusting in a pair of glasses remains an all-time great bit. Also discussed: One Hour Photo, Backrooms, Jurassic Park and probably even more Forza Horizon 6 talk I'm afraid. We will return next week to talk S Craig Zahler's deeply weird and brutal crooked cop hiest thriller "Dragged Across Concrete".  Thanks as always to Eric and Disco.

    26 - Toni Erdmann (2016)

    The boys are back this week to talk about Maren Ade's nerve shredding, demented daddy-daughter dramedy "Toni Erdmann". We get into how much of this movie is actually about work, globalization, The EU, an American Dad comparison somehow and learning self-respect via getting butt naked in front of your coworkers to celebrate birthday. Also discussed: Speed Racer, Woman of Fire, Dead Man, Mysterious Skin, Blue Valentine and a rare new music check-in. We will be back next week with Robert Iscove's frankly delightful 1999 high school Pygmalion riff "She's All That". Thanks to Eric and Disco as always!

    25 - Brokeback Mountain (2005)

    The boys get romantic again this week as we go back to Ang Lee's 2005 queer cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain". We talk about Lee as demented auteur, the murder's row cast and crew, the insanely good acting performances plus talk a lot of Oscar controversey and the long life this movie still has as a meme in spite of it's greatness.  Also discussed: Tetsuo: The Iron Man, The Shipping News, Forza Horizon 6, No Country For Old Men and Tim eulogizes Destiny 2. We will be back next week talking about Maren Ade's singluar, cringe comedy masterpiece from 2016 "Toni Erdmann". Thanks to Disco and Eric as always.

    24 - Nightmare Alley (2021)

    The boys celebrate Tim's birthday this year with a much better episode than the last bday one we did! We get into Guillermo del Toro's nasty, classical 2021 noir "Nightmare Alley". Tim argues for the novel was one of America's greats, we get into another tortured production, push back against the idea of "Guillermoslop", crown Cate Blanchett as the living queen of noir and agree that deep down everyone just wants to believe the irrational. Also discussed: La Jetée, Pi, Forza Horizon 6 and the Alissa Nutting novel "Tampa"*. We will be back next week talking about Ang Lee's beautiful, heartbreaking cowboy romance from 2005, "Brokeback Mountain". * "Tampa" is basically "Lolita" with a lady so cw if you find child abuse objectionable. If you want to skip it talk goes from 11:30-18:45 Letterboxed: DeadFormatPod Bluesky: DeadFormatPod

    23 - The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

    The boys are back discussing Wes Anderson's 2001 film about hating your dad and wanting to smash with your hot not-sister (?). We get into fake New York City, bird ransom, the secret sauce that is Owen Wilson and enjoy some Hulk Hogan style lying from Alec Baldwin. Also discussed: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, Upgrade, The Phoenician Scheme, The Lighthouse and the films of Ken Russell. We will be back next week with Tim's birthday episode where we will be taking Guillermo del Toro's brutal 2021 noir Nightmare Alley, a movie about the love of lying to people for money.
