  1. E51 - Death Wish (1974)

    AUG 16

    E51 - Death Wish (1974)

    Death Wish (1974) – Charles Bronson grows a terrible mustache, receives a gun, and basically invents the vigilante dad genre. It’s grimy, it’s dated, and yet somehow it still hits way too close to home.

    JUL 28

    E50 - Mystic Pizza (1988)

    We're hanging out in the 1980s again with some fun fluff.

  3. E49 - Home From The Hill (1960)... and 28 Days Later

    JUN 26

    E49 - Home From The Hill (1960)... and 28 Days Later

    It was a bit of a stretch to fill this episode. So we had some fun elsewhere.

    MAY 29

    E48 - Paris, Texas (1984)

    So, is this the best film we've covered?

  5. E47 - Some Like It Hot (1959)

    APR 30

    E47 - Some Like It Hot (1959)

    Time for another biggie. Movies like this can be kind of risky. How well does this stand the test of time and with a modern lenses? Tune in and find out!

  6. E46 - Bullitt (1968)

    MAR 28

    E46 - Bullitt (1968)

    It’s like, how much more cool could this be? And the answer is none. None more cool.

  7. E45 - Born Yesterday (1950)

    FEB 28

    E45 - Born Yesterday (1950)

    Spoiler alert... we were really happy we came upon this film. Loads of character, comedy and substantially more substance tot his than you might immediately assume. Give it a listen!

    1h 3m
  8. E44 - Top Hat (1935)

    JAN 28

    E44 - Top Hat (1935)

    We return this month to the timeless Astaire/Rogers filmography. This is certainly a massively popular classic, but is it actually timeless? Does the storyline stand the test of time? The chemistry? The outrageous gay coding?
