Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)

#045: Zodiac with Ben Haslar
For our forty-fifth episode, friend of the show Ben Haslar (Reels of Justice) returns to discuss the audio commentaries for David Fincher’s magnum opus: 2007’s “Zodiac”. Would the Zodiac Killer be as infamous if he didn’t write letters? Is the climactic basement sequence a bridge too far? Is Jake Gyllenhaal playing Fincher in “Spider-Man: Far from Home”? The answers to these questions and more (or at least speculation) await!
Ryan’s Recommendations: “The Game” (1997), “The Social Network” (2010), and “Gone Girl” (2014)

#044: First Man with JD Duran
For our forty-fourth episode, we’re joined by JD Duran (InSession Film) for a discussion of Damien Chazelle’s audio commentary for his greatest film, 2018’s Neil Armstrong kinda-biopic “First Man”. Hope you like the moon, because most of the episode concerns the epic Apollo 11 IMAX sequence.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “For All Mankind” (1989), “Eraserhead” (1977), “Wild at Heart” (1990), and “Lost Highway” (1997)

#043: Looper with Nick Emel
For our forty-third episode, we’re joined by Nick Emel (“10ish” podcast) for a discussion of Rian Johnson’s audio commentary for his stunningly original 2012 science-fiction masterpiece “Looper”. Green milk and J.J. Abrams’ fondness for lens flares may make up a great deal of the episode.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “Brick” (2005), “Star Wars: Episode VIII—The Last Jedi” (2017), and “Knives Out” (2019)

#042: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension with Nicki from Trivial Theater
For our forty-second episode, we’re joined by friend of the podcast Nicki, host of Trivial Theater on YouTube, for a discussion of the commentary track for the platonic ideal of an instant cult movie, 1984’s “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension”. It’s one of the most genuinely original films ever made and we raise the most compelling question: what’s that watermelon doing there?
Ryan’s Recommendations: “Night on Earth” (1991), “Dead Man” (1995), and “Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai” (1999)

Customer Reviews
Started great, just gets better
I wondered if my interest would drift after the meticulously researched MST3K exploration came to an end. But I find myself just as interested in Ryan’s wandering tastes. His analysis is always sharp, deeply researched, and often funny to boot. Just listen and subscribe, this podcast is a jewel.
Addicted!
I grew up with MST3K, so it holds a special place in my heart. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about a podcast covering such a uniquely hilarious and original show, but Ryan absolutely nails it! My favorite episodes are when he discusses Riff Tracks. Especially, the one that talks about the old informational videos like Guardiana and what to do in case of an atomic apocalypse. This has brought back so many memories, and it is incredibly well produced, which makes it s joy to listen to on many levels. I would 100% recommend this to any true MST3K fan.
Ryan is one cool dude
