A second look at our favorite movies, without the fog of nostalgia

    Silence of the Lambs (1991): Why We Cant Have Friends For Dinner Anymore: A Retrospective

    Send us Fan Mail After 35 years, most things tend to degrade.  We certainly did.  But this is not the case for one of the greatest psychological horror films of all time.  Join the gang as they revisit the culinary curiosities in this amazing Jonathan Demme classic. Rural Appalachia, oversized panties, homemade Halloween masks, and a well-placed tuck are just the start. Our only regret is that we covered this movie way too early in our podcasting career.  The result was fine, but the fine-tuned listener will appreciate an extra level of horror upon hearing our early attempt at being clever podcasters.

    607. Manhunter (1986): Hannibal Lector's Film Debut Overshadowed By Really Tiny Shorts

    Send us Fan Mail With Silence of The Lambs returning to theaters this week for it's 25th Anniversary, the boys decide to spoil the party by reviewing the film where it all started, Michael Mann's stylish Manhunter from 1986.  Heavy handed and completely free of any levity at all, it's a bit of a chore to sit through, but we knew the risks when we took the job.  Bereft of any other original ideas, the boys pad out the rest of this episode with their first annual 2026 Summer Movie Preview.  The results of which have to be heard to be believed.

    Armageddon (1998): Roughnecks Are People Too - A Retrospective

    Send us Fan Mail The Artemis crew WISHES they could be as cool as the goofy miners-turned-astronauts in this ridiculous Michael Bay extravaganza from 1998.  Grab your animal crackers and settle in for nearly 3 hours full of space dementia and good old America saving the world yet again.  Oh, spoiler alert: Gruber doesn't make it (whoever the hell he was).

    606. Invasion U.S.A (1985): You Don't Mess With A Man's Armadillo

    Send us Fan Mail We're going full icky this week by covering a film by the recently deceased Hollywood icon Chuck Norris.  Yes, we tried to avoid memes and jokes and, yes, we failed.  Over 120 gratuitous kills and zero sleeves. Not a bad ratio for a movie in the 80s.  Oh, and an armadillo out-acts most of the cast.

    The Mummy (1999): Camels Outrunning Horses Is Just The Beginning With This One

    Send us Fan Mail With The Mummy Returns returning to theaters for a special 25th-anniversary this weekend, we thought it prudent to dust off our own take on the franchise from several years ago. Though not a well preserved as a mummy, this episode still has some life in it and quite frankly we're too busy getting next Monday's release ready to do our job as podcasters properly.  Until then, please enjoy Brendan Fraser's energy and Rachel Weisz's face.  Emphasis on the latter

    605. Men In Black (1997): Galaxy Defense, Courtesy of a Ford LTD.

    Send us Fan Mail This week we go back to a big one, but as we learn, size doesn't matter.  In fact a few minutes we wont even be matter.  Come back to glorious 1997 where movies were bigger, better, and could star Will Smith without the audience wanting to punch him in the face. Speaking of jerks, stick around to the end when the boys explore other celebs that we used to admire, but now not so much. Wonderfully petty and indefensible.

    Spirited Away (2001): Life Lessons Mean More When Delivered By Nightmarish Creatures

    Send us Fan Mail With Studio Ghibli releasing 1989's Kiki's Delivery Service in IMAX this week, the gang decided to dust off this awesome episode featuring a collab with the gals from 2nd Hand Nostalgia. Mucho Manga

    604. Clash of The Titans (1981): The Gods Are Jerks

    Send us Fan Mail An 80s fantasy adventure with scorpions, gorgons and gratuitous boobs. A recipe for the best Saturday night ever.  Laurence Olivier is here for some credibility and Ursula Andress is here for two more things.  The nostalgia hits harder than the Kraken as the boys end the episode talking about their other favorite early HBO movies that seemed to be on every day, all the time.
