“What are we??”We're breaking formats the way that Johnny Kovak breaks down corporate corruption in the latest episode of Straight Up, the show where we basically let Tucker do whatever he wants! And this quarter, he's chosen this 1978 Norman Jewison film featuring Sly as an upstart union leader who may or may not be Jimmy Hoffa!

There are three - count ‘em, THREE - new movies opening on Memorial Day weekend and we couldn't decide which to discuss, so we're covering all three!

“...almost all of us self-destruct.”It's an unofficial ‘Coming Attractions' theme month where we're talking about movies kinda-sorta related to current or upcoming theatrical releases! To start things off, we're talking about Alex Garland's sophomore effort on the heels of his most recent film Civil War making the divisive rounds! And we're joined by actor, musician, and self-proclaimed Garland acolyte Noah East to bring it home. We're talking about the disastrous test screening that almost altered the film (and definitely altered its release), our Alex Garland introductions, and our entry points to this cast's filmographies!Tucker's evidence for his case against Barrow & Salisbury: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCo-hA6MuDcAnd the offending score excerpt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFWFi5euWwUWhen he's not off wandering into the Shimmer, you can find Noah East on the following social platforms: @boy_roarbison on Instagram @eastcommanoah on LetterboxdAnd if you're fans of us, watch us all self-destruct in real time on the social media network of your choice: @Disenfranchpod on Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, Letterboxd, and YouTube.

“Everything's changed… and we can stop Judgment Day!”And, just like that, our second-ever Arnold Schwarzeneggar theme month - Arnie April 2: Austrian Boogaloo - is at its end… but will it go out with a bang or a whimper? We're talking Arnie's return to his most famous franchise and, along the way, we stop to chat about theme park 4-D attractions, Tucker's bizarre nostalgia for Windows phones, the Fast & Furious franchise, and even make a quick, though long-overdue stop in Brett's Video Corner!Like Arnie, we may be old, but we're not obsolete..

“You are what you do. A man is defined by his actions, not his memory.”We may be starting to wind down Arnie April 2: Austrian Boogaloo, but we're still managing to come in HOT on this episode! And what luck - we're joined by Stephen's college roommate and all-around good guy Phil Smith to talk about Arnie's last straight-up ‘80s action role! Along the way, we cast a Philip K. Dick biopic, espouse our shared love of practical effects, test Tucker's good-bad dichotomy of Verhoeven films, discuss the best version of Blade Runner to watch, rate the scientific accuracy of this movie, and manage to squeeze in the briefest of Mighty Ducks deep dives!

The story of my life.”We're back with week two of Arnie April 2: Austrian Boogaloo with a movie we really wanted to cover the last time we did a Schwarzeneggar theme month… but we're making up for it now!

“You let me know when it gets dangerous..”With Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two in theaters, we're taking a look at another story where a savior comes to a desert world and befriends a native tribe who give him a unique new name… and we've brought our friend and Edgar Rice Burroughs enthusiast Samuel Dumas along to help us out! Along with the deep development hell of a ‘Princess of Mars' adaptation, we also address Edgar Rice Burroughs' problematic thoughts on eugenics, the proper time and place for business containment, and listen while Tucker attempts a nuanced take on blackface.

Parents (1989)“You really like the dark, don't you, Michael? You can be yourself in the dark. But, you know? There's one dark place that we have to be very careful in…”It's yet another fifth Thursday (in February?? REALLY??) and you know what that means!

“No plan. Just bigger guns.”In what happens to be a rather bizarre follow-up to last year's episode on Cemetery Man, the boys tackle this big screen adaptation of Tiziano Sclavi's perhaps better-known work (in Europe, anyway), Dylan Dog! (When our fans ask for an episode, we try to deliver!) We talk about the absence of fan-favorite character Groucho, compare this film to Brett's beloved Dresden Files book series, and desperately try to remember the names of people and movies completely unrelated to this film!

“You have this nickname. What is it? Excitement? Enthusiasm? Esprit de corps?”This week, we're paying homage to one of the greats as we honor the great Carl Weathers with one of his earliest starring roles that never got a sequel - 1988's Action Jackson! We talk about how this movie perfectly melds mid-'70s blaxploitation with late-'80s action, the state of action cinema in the late 1980s, our first and greatest experiences with the late, great Mr. Weathers, and intermittently deal with Tucker's technical issues!

"You know the devil never dies. Keeps coming back. But you gotta keep killing him. Over and over again.”It's time for our January miniseries The Kingening: The Drawing of Three, on some of the failed franchise starters adapted from the works of Stephen King, to come to a close... but first, PROM! We're putting on our tuxes, straightening our ties, and heading back to high school to talk about the most recent adaptation of King's first novel! Along the way, we stop to talk about how this film stacks up against other films in the Carrie franchise, the abject horror of religious fundamentalism, the cast and their performances, and the oeuvre of Michael Mann!

We get into the myriad reasons why this film doesn't hold up, the reason why it still somehow manages to look so good, and take more tangents and detours than you can shake a diamond-stuffed Chipmunk doll at!Read the 2021 Newsweek article Hope mentions in the episode: https://www.newsweek.com/chipmunks-chipettes-kids-movie-problematic-sexualizing-characters-bagdasarian-1616518You don't have to race around the world to check out Hope & Bex on the interwebs: Find High on Cartoons on Instagram at @highoncartoonspod and wherever you get your podcasts!
