2013 at the Movies: TRANCE

On April 5, 2013 Rosario Dawson got out the clippers.

And cinema was never the same. As was James McAvoy. As was OUR EYES. After this visual delight director Danny Boyle has us believing in all manner of nonsense such as the convoluted mechanisms need to pull off the complicated art heist that ultimately revolves around the toxic relationships of Mr. McAvoy. This is a far cry from THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ELEANOR RIGBY, sir.

2003 at the Movies: BASIC

On March 28, 2003 John Travolta put on a clever ruse.

John McTiernan is the director of PREDATOR, DIE HARD and most importantly BASIC. If you have forgotten this military thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson (150 lbs soaking wet and with a cape!), Connie Nelson (of THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE... you remember the scene) and Giovanni Ribisi playing Orson Welles then we are here to help!

1993 at the Movies: POINT OF NO RETURN

On March 19, 1993 even Bridget Fonda confused Dermot Mulroney with Dylan McDermott.

Doesn't matter. He's just a man who will be fed ravioli erotically. And we all win by witnessing this act. Do we thank Gabriel Byrne? Anne Bancroft? Who trained Ms. Fonda to be the ultimate assassin and supportive life partner? If you believe these show notes are too wistful for the early 90s wait until you hear the episode. Please click play. Did we mention the ravioli? EROTICALLY!

2013 at the Movies: SPRING BREAKERS

Harmony Korine made the A24 version of MIAMI VICE...

...and still the world was not satisfied. Including your hosts! Mainly the one from Florida who does not recognize the rap success from his home area as portrayed by James Franco.

Meanwhile another host lives in fear of the alternate version of this film that stars Emma Watson. This film does not exist and so he remains forever grateful to Ashley Benson and is checking out her latest work as a cam girl in ALONE AT NIGHT. As an act of appreciation and for podcast research of course.

Our final host just feels like he was born in the wrong place and time. A wistful episode for SPRING BREAKERS as we begin our new season celebrating 1983-2013 and how old and perverted we increasingly are. Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: THE CRYING GAME

The movie that inspired a Sean Young role in ACE VENTURA.

Which isn't entirely a bad thing. It's more Sean Young!

For a very late 1992 anniversary episode, a somewhat late Valentine's Day episode but BUT an EARLY St. Patrick's Day episode we present Neil Jordan's.... THE CRYING GAME.

We tried to be careful here but spoilers almost instantly for this Oscar contender starring Forest Whitaker in a very dreamlike sweater. Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: BAD LIEUTENANT

Thirty years of going to church with Harvey Keitel.

Among other activities for the title character in Abel Ferrara's family film. As for our activities discussing BAD LIEUTENANT on a podcast that includes:

  • More hate for the Miami Heat when it comes to decision making in the final seconds of a Game 7.
  • More debate over the assets of early 90s It Girl Winona Ryder.
  • And how this film provided the template for the... calmer UNCUT GEMS.

Have a good cry with us on our latest episode!

1992 at the Movies: BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA

Thirty years of Anthony Hopkins slut-shaming Winona Ryder.

And a redhead of course. We can't forget God's greatest gift to mankind. Other than Sir Anthony it's also the Dread Pirate Roberts and Neo/Constantine/Johnny Mnemonic getting in on the sex negative attitude. Also my co-host informs me The Rocketeer is a prude. I'm glad I did not get that reference.

If you are wondering why the IMDb filmography list it's because BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA is one of those sure-fire classics on our rewatch of 1992 in film that we were afraid there'd be no new ground to cover. Then the scissoring talk began. Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: JENNIFER 8

Thirty years of Uma Thurman being a witness to driving men crazy.

One podcast host in particular. And although you've probably heard all you need to about one Kentucky man's love for Ms. Thurman this is actually an episode of discovery as shockingly all hosts have a good time with JENNIFER 8. Is it John Malkovich's sass with a cold? Lance Henrickson's trusting nature of dark figures with a flashlight? Or just an excuse to analyze the perverted nature of flash photography? Three decades later this thriller gets the justice it deserves on SOBER CINEMA.

1992 at the Movies: RESERVOIR DOGS

Thirty years of Nice Guy Eddie not being so nice.

Which is why he quickly becomes a fan favorite in this episode on Quentin Tarantino's directing debut RESERVOIR DOGS. In one of those almost unimpeachable classics we decide to take on the likes of Harvey Keitel and Tim Roth for they are no Chris Penn. Also the decision to not cast Samuel L. Jackson as Mr. Roth's Jedi master here brings up a returning segment of can one belligerent podcast host take on Mace Windu? For that... we go to the stats. Enjoy!

1992 at the Movies: A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT

Thirty years of Brad Pitt making everyone look ugly.

For some reason we decided to cheat a bit this week and fulfill a promise to Mr. Robert Redford and complete his own 1992 double feature after SNEAKERS with him behind the camera for A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. He also talks all throughout this film as the narrator which offends our sensibilities as podcasters soooooo we take a dump on this movie. Which is easy because it's no SNEAKERS. Neither is it INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE which we talk about for a few minutes. As well as the "NO!" gunfight in a river in the all timer TOMBSTONE. And then another host brings up POOTIE TANG.

It all makes a bit more sense if you listen. That's a big if though after these show notes. Enjoy!
