Two guys review old "classic" movies to see if they're still good. Or maybe they weren't any good to begin with?
The movie: The Fall of the House of Usher (1960)
The movie: The Rescuers (1977)
The movie: Wait Until Dark (1967)
The movie: Bright Road (1953)
The movie: Knife in the Water (1962)
The movie: Raising Arizona (1987)
The movie: A Boy and His Dog (1975)
The movie: Inherit the Wind (1960)
The movie: Godzilla (1954) Does a movie monster have agency?
The movie: The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942)
The movie: Flight of the Navigator (1986)
The movie: The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
The movie: An American In Paris (1951)
The movie: Metropolis (1927)
The movie: Shaft (1971)
The movie: Harry and the Hendersons (1987)
The movie: Taxi Driver (1976) Ian and Joshua finally watch the DeNiro movie that launched a presidential re-election. Is there anything actually aspiring about it? Is working because you can't sleep wise? Just how much did a dirty movie cost in New York in the '70s?
The movie: The Thin Man (1934) It's time to watch another light-hearted murder mystery that asks the big, important questions. Like, how long is Christmas, exactly? And, what makes a good murderer? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Ian and Joshua finally sit down for four hours of Peter O'Toole crossing the desert with those eyes. Plenty of time to ponder things like identity and confidence, while still asking the important questions. Is this movie still relevant? Or does it insist upon itself? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965) Ian and Joshua watch another beach party movie, because apparently they didn't learn their lesson the first time. This one has Buster Keaton in it, though. That's a good sign, right? Right? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Within Our Gates (1920) Joshua makes Ian watch the oldest surviving movie made by a Black filmmaker, with hopes that it will spark some desire to watch "Birth of a Nation." Will Ian be convinced? Are there messages in this film still relevant 100 years later? How far have we really come as a nation? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Sabrina (1954) Ian and Joshua watch this Billy Wilder classics and hope for a shirtless William Holden. Ian looks out for a talking black cat, while Joshua re-examines his sexuality. It's always good to check in on it from time to time. http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Trading Places (1983) Ian and Joshua watch how sick and twisted the super rich were in the '80s to everyday people. Thank goodness those days are over, right? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Hester Street (1975) Joshua wants to see Carol Kane in an Oscar-nominated performance, so he and Ian watch her immigrate to America to meet her husband who's been sleeping around. Was it worth the find? Will they want to call a taxi halfway through? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: A Night At the Opera (1934) It's been a while since Ian and Joshua have watched some Marx Brothers, so they class things up by taking in a bit of high society, and a crowded stateroom. http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Star Trek - The Motion Picture (1979) Cracker Classics sets out to piss off an entire fandom as Ian and Joshua explore what cameos and long establishing shots can do to pad the length of a film. There is also spirited discussion about blatant yet unmentioned sexual references and the superiority of Doctor Who. http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Smokey and the Bandit (1978) Joshua and Ian want to see some sweet 'stache and go for Burt Reynolds bootlegging across the South with Sally Field. Will they regret their decisions and be turned off facial hair forever? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: A Clockwork Orange (1972) Ian and Joshua watch an old favorite of theirs and hope it holds up. They both want it to be just as horrorshow as they remember, but will their glazzys viddy some awful truths? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Joshua and Ian seek adventure and history while seeing Indiana Jones be a sexist pig who always has the right answer to every archaeological mystery. Here's hoping your ears won't melt at the end of this episode. http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Under the Yum-Yum Tree (1963) Ian and Joshua watch Jack Lemmon be a creepy pig and Paul Lynde fail miserably at playing a straight man. The movie is about a young couple trying to live platonically, but does love even enter into it? Does Jack Lemmon wear protection? Who's sleeping in the wet spot? http://www.crackerclassics.com https://www.patreon.com/crackerclassics
The movie: Stalker (1979) Ian and Joshua enter a mystical Zone and try to comprehend life, the universe, and everything. But is that really what they desire?
