We are joined on this episode by Elizabeth Taylor enthusiast Derek Stewart of THE GRAND GESTURE to discuss sex positive attitudes and overly enthusiastic car chases being a dangerous but titillating combination for the sixty year anniversary of BUTTERFIELD 8.

Five years after its critical success and box-office failure one of your hosts is still waiting on Verizon to deliver his new iPhone but at least he got to enjoy Michael Fassbender as STEVE JOBS. We try to keep the penis talk to a minimum however our lead character makes that difficult with his massive ego and god complex.

We found all of this charming. Make sure to consume as much as possible this holiday season and ignore your children!

Thirteen years ago the world was introduced to the sweetest romance a man can have with a sex doll in LARS AND THE REAL GIRL. On this episode we celebrate what society deems socially acceptable and somewhat cute AS LONG AS the quirky character looks like Ryan Gosling. Also we lament the lonely feeling that comes over a man when he sees an unwanted sex doll.

It's cruel and it's sad. It's SOBER CINEMA.

We object to the public medical examinations conducted by Sir (questionable) Anthony Hopkins in THE ELEPHANT MAN and wonder if getting naked would have turned the tables on all those jerks in this 1980 David Lynch film.

Our conclusion? Yes. Most definitely, yes.

One year later the joke is on us because Todd Phillips' JOKER has not improved. So instead we talk about kinky sex in a refrigerator (take that, Indiana Jones!) and how the only people that like clowns are those who still prefer death and apparently the Academy Awards.

Listen to our latest episode with a booming soundtrack of JOCK JAMS and then dance like an idiot. All eight of you.

Small town life suits us just fine. Nobody bothers us. Nobody listens to this podcast. We are basically carbon copies of Viggo Mortensen. Penis and all.

Enjoy the fifteen year anniversary of A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE!

There's just nothing like the sass of John Turturro. But heaven knows that we try. We remain the only podcast with the GUTS to challenge Kevin Spacey to fisticuffs, think that Jon Polito would make for the best boss, and question the misanthrope nature of Gabriel Byrne. Also a little bit on Andy Richter's family history as a Swedish-German.

This is The Definitive episode on thirty years of the Coen Brothers MILLER'S CROSSING. But you already knew that.

On September 22, 1995 the world was unaware that there was soon to be a new contender for the greatest buddy cop comedy of all time... and perhaps that's because this a very misleading description of David Fincher's SEVEN. However before all of the apocalyptic imagery and speechifying from another movie-of-the-week serial killer we do get a lovely image of Brad Pitt asleep on Morgan Freeman's shoulder. You should look that up. It's nice. And it's conveniently featured on our podcast page. You deserve this happiness. You deserve SOBER CINEMA.

An iconic performance from Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES opened fifty years ago on September 12, 1970 and when you are talking about a genuine classic piece of cinema like this you must mention:

• Nicholson's hair may be flanked but it's not dead yet and neither are we!
• Sex positive love interests must never be dismissed even if they lack in bowling skills.
• Scissoring exists. One must only believe.

Many people (okay, probably just Grandpa Jairo) have tried to interfere with one host's love for Nick Nolte in A WALK IN THE WOODS since it stormed cinemas five years ago on September 2, 2015.

They have failed.

And this podcast definitely won't put a stop to it as we revel in this American hero's love of booze, big women and pancakes. Read that again Grandpa Jairo. That doubt you feel is just the usual type of revelation one can find with the poignant film analysis of SOBER CINEMA.
