  1. Episode 320 - Holly Jolly WTF?

    5 DAYS AGO

    Episode 320 - Holly Jolly WTF?

    Just because a movie is set at Christmas doesn’t mean it is a “Christmas Movie.” So sayeth us. We drop some hot takes on all the holiday entertainment marketed to us every year as being very Christmas-y… and we say NOPE. Or at least we are confused as to why they are considered part of this Season of Joy. The rules are pretty arbitrary here, but the bottom line is - if it has Santa Claus in it that doesn’t give it a free pass. You gotta earn that Xmas Cheer, yo. Also, Die Hard is still not a Xmas movie. 0:00 - Intros 5:00 - Landman (Paramount) 9:25 - House (series) 13:15 - It’s Florida, Man (Max) 15:40 - The Umbrella Academy (Netflix, final season) SPOILERS 19:40 - Cyndi Lauper live 25:35 - Le Tigre 27:15 - Plum Tree 30:05 - Holly Jolly WTF?

    Episode 319 - The Polar Express To HELL!

    Imagine a heartfelt, warm, comforting movie about Christmas. Get that idea locked in your head. Now, imagine that same movie, but all of the parts are played by cadavers - and half of those corpses are that of Tom Hanks. If that’s difficult for you to bend your mind around, have no fear, Robert Zemeckis has done all the work for you in Polar Express, our feature of the week! 0:00 - Intros 6:15 - Planes Trains and Automobiles (1987) 13:35 - Anthony Vincent 18:00 - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 27:30 - Brats (2024) 29:30 - Yacht Rock Documentary (Max, 2024) 38:20 - The Polar Express (2004) Check out Ten Second Songs on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm6r_b2K5jn1JGkwDcwJXrQ

    Episode 318 - Hundreds Of Beavers

    This week, we’re diving headfirst into the icy wilderness with Hundreds of Beavers, the latest indie film that’s equal parts surreal slapstick, silent-era homage, and weird woodland fever dream. This black-and-white oddity defies explanation—so naturally, we spend a half-hour or so trying to explain it anyway. 0:00 - Intros 5:25 - The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (1979) 13:10 - Eric’s Dune Rabbit Hole: Dune (2021), Dune: Part Two (2024), Heretics of Dune, Chapterhouse: Dune (Frank Herbert), Hunters of Dune (Brian Herbert) 19:25 - Hysteria!

  4. Episode 317 - Luc Besson’s Subway

    NOV 18

    Episode 317 - Luc Besson’s Subway

    It’s all neon gloss and kinetic pacing in this peak 80s early outing from writer/direct Luc Besson (Fifth Element)! And it is French! We get a pre-Highlander Christopher Lambert as a lost soul on the run from both the cops and the mob, hiding out in the Paris subway tunnels among a community of social outcasts and petty thieves. There is not much more to it than that. But again, it looks terrific, which is all we really expected anyway from Monsieur Besson. 0:00 - Intros 5:50 - Rivals (Hulu) 13:00 - Amelie (2001) 18:40 - Jeff Lynne’s ELO 27:40 - The Penguin (Max) 34:20 - Whatever Bond movie is on 40:40 - Subway (1985)

  5. Episode 316 - Coraline

    NOV 3

    Episode 316 - Coraline

    The first in what might be an occasional series on films that deliberately scarred children - and we love them for it! Join us as we explore the dark fantasy classic Coraline (2009). We discuss how its unsettling visuals, eerie storytelling, and masterful animation left an indelible mark on young audiences, and why none of that worked on Chris or Eric who are old and dead inside and hadn't seen it before. 0:00 - Intros 7:25 - What We Do In The Shadows 9:30 - Addams Family Channel and Munsters Channel (Pluto TV) 17:30 - Joywave 19:30 - Funny Girl (touring) 25:35 - Coraline (2009)

  6. Episode 315 - The Shining vs Doctor Sleep

    OCT 28

    Episode 315 - The Shining vs Doctor Sleep

    Doctor Sleep is the sequel to the Stephen King horror classic, The Shining, and is one of the better King movie adaptations that you probably heard was crap and so you didn’t see it. The truth is, it’s pretty darned good - if you watch the right version (ie, the theatrical cut or Mike Flanagan’s director’s cut). This is a rare occasion where the director’s cut is actually worth it, and not just a chance to see boobs. But it also exists within the very long shadow cast by Stanley Kubrick’s original masterpiece, which Stephen King hates. It is a complicated situation, is what we are saying. But watch Doctor Sleep and you will be rewarded, we promise. 0:00 - Intros 10:45 - Billy Bragg (live) 20:25 - Midge Ure 22:30 - Stevie Nicks - The Lighthouse 26:00 - Ted Danson 30:50 - Cruel World 2025 lineup 35:00 - Doctor Sleep (SPOILER Discussion)

    Episode 314 - The Hitcher

    Likely your parents told you to never pick up hitchhikers. But did C. Thomas Howell follow that advice back in 1986? Of course not! He stopped for Rutger Hauer on an empty desert highway in West Texas, and let’s just say he learned his lesson but good. It’s a B-movie grindhouse game of cat-and-mouse that has managed to gain a cult following over the years, but one that probably wouldn’t work as well in 2024, what with all our newfangled phone technology and freeways and such. Bottom line, they don’t make ‘em like this anymore…or do they? 0:00 - Intros 8:10 - Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (Netflix) 15:40 - I Feel Love cover by Colin Benders & Cato van Dijck (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9S2iDh1je4) 18:00 - Solar Opposites (Hulu) 22:15 - Love Death and Robots (Netflix) 23:45 - Hacks (season 1) (Max) 29:20 - Kite Man, Hell Yeah!

    OCT 7

    Episode 313 - Salem’s Lot

    Another Stephen King adaptation? In a word - yes. Full of vampire lore and 70s fashion, “‘Salem’s Lot” is actually a slightly better than average Stephen King adaptation. Want proof?
