Blockbuster Film School

Welcome to the world of higher film education where two former Blockbuster Video employees, film school sorta graduates, and filmmakers take deep dives on different film topics from across the movie universe every week. Taught exclusively by Alex Bonner and Nicholas Souder: This is the world's greatest and cheapest free film school. You'll laugh, cry mascara tears, and possibly if the movie magic kicks in at just the right moment, accidentally get you to learn something. Take drugs and have a good time! (episodes are produced & recorded by Brian Tepps)

    Episode 57: NYE In Cinema

    Do you like hope based on calendar dates? Do you like balloon drops on top of people running through a crowd trying to find someone before they holiday decide to choose not you? Do you like kissing Billy Crystal while champagne drunk? Well Hollywood does. The boys have a very special holiday episode about the movie magic of (and nauseating over saccharineness) New Years Movies! Play that ancient song that drunks like to not know the words to! Let’s get ready to movie rumble! Let’s raise a glass to new starts, old friends, and movie fails!

    Episode 56: David Cronenberg

    How would you react to finding four inch long hairs up n down your back? What if your chest grew a secreting orifice with hidden weapons inside? Let’s be honest: we all want to be dude from Scanners popping coworkers’ heads like pimples. Our bodies are haunted houses, and David Cronenberg is the architect holding the blueprints for the newest additions. He became the master of body horror by directing an impressive list of films where the killer isn’t just calling from upstairs, it’s living under our finger nails. This semester of Blockbuster Film School takes on anatomy. It’s real nasty but fun as hell.

    Quik Drop: The Burbs

    Before they actually made smart horror thriller comedies that were self aware and post modern and mind bendingly hilarious Joe Dante and Tom hanks basically created the model. It didn’t really work at the box office but since it has created and entire generation of smart ass goofball movie nerds that can’t get enough of tan lines, night vision, and citizen’s arrests. If you haven’t seen The Burbs you’re a meatball. Get out of Nick, Alex, and Brian’s lawns lame-o. It is the the infinitely watchable Quik Drop time for The Burbs!!!!

    Episode 55: Paul Verhoeven

    When you think of international powerhouses outside of Hollywood you usually think of The UK, Japan, Italy, France, Bollywood and… the Dutch? Not really. But then like a heatwave in the late seventies a madman dressed like a suburban dad exploded out of Amsterdam and for the next twenty years threw haymakers in American smart action movies which would change the game. Until, he decided to make an expensive porno movie but even that couldn’t stop Paul Verhoeven from making movies about weirdos getting nuts. Maybe the most underrated auteur of the 80s and 90s. The boys discuss. Dead or alive you’re coming with us.

    Quik Drop: Conan The Barbarian

    What is best in life? Blood, swords, and James Earl Jones in charge of a snake cult. A movie that wouldn’t even have shot to be made these days but looks better than most that come out. An epic score, Milius at the true top of his game, and Arnold finds a magic sword that gives him an acting career. If Crom will not help us with this podcast, then the hell with him. The boys do a Quik Drop on the coolest R rated fantasy film of all time. Do you want to live forever?

    Episode 54: Kathleen Kennedy

    Kathleen Kennedy has sneakily taken over Hollywood. She has toyed with the idea of changing her name Movieoverlord Kennedy several times. She produced ET when she was a literal child. She convinced those Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park to be good at acting. She beat George Lucas in a real lightsaber duel and cut off his hand and got his company. Then turned the saber on Favreau and said “ invent Baby yoda or I will cut you in half like I cut Stoltz’ ginger ass out of back to the future”. The boys discuss. Treat yo self

  7. Quik Drop: Shaun of the Dead

    Quik Drop: Shaun of the Dead

    Can you have your parody film and eat it too? Many have tried, most have failed, but no one has done three times except Edgar Wright. His debut film Shaun of the Dead was the best horror comedy made since Evil Dead 2. The Blockbuster Quik Drop examines the first entry of the Cornetto Trilogy starring co-writer Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Shaun of the Dead hits all the boxes: scary, funny, romantic, heart breaking, zombies, and naturally it is infinitely rewatchable. How’s that for a slice of fried gold?

  8. Quik Drop: No Country For Old Men

    Quik Drop: No Country For Old Men

    It’s a simple formula: take an expertly written novel by a great author, multiply that by two with a pair of filmmaking brothers at the top of their game then add in exquisite cinematography and actors who transcend this dimension. The result is No Country for Old Men, a neo-noir crime western executed with such craft younger people with less experience would have muddled it up. Quik Drop is our series about infinitely rewatchable movies, and this Coen Bros masterpiece had to be here. Blockbuster Film School knows the math adds up, and in case you forgot, here are your notes.
