No Subtitles Necessary

It’s finally here! We are ending season three with a bang by taking it back to where it all began - a planet called Arkanar, a man called Rumata, and a song so sweet it’ll make you cry. Enjoy our season finale where we watched the 1989 classic Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein, better known to the loyal fans as Hard to be a God. Buckle up as we discuss poisoned potions, full frontal nudity, and helicopter safety.Also, stay tuned all the way through the end to hear the First Annual (?) Subby Awards where we give accolades to some of our favorite movies from season three. Ariel put on a dress. It was stunning.Theme Music: Hard to be a God by Grant Stevens

Equal parts poignant political satire and slapstick sex comedy, Benvenuto Presidente! quickly became one of our favorite movies we’ve ever watched. While discussing this movie, we debated Italian government systems, discussed BDSM, and fantasized of a President in America like Giuseppe “Peppino” Garibaldi. Travel with us to a better place filled with invalid doctors, Brazilian ducks, and a LOT of weed.Theme Music: Chairaggione by Nitro ft. Salmo (Prod. by tha Supreme)

Much like the movie, we’re not going to fill you with a lot of explanation in the beginning. Just dive right in.Theme Music: Polish Trap by Q-Kwass & JB

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.Still with us? Good. Strap in for a movie about love in all its forms and also a little bit about apples.Did I mention we have a guest?! What?! Crazy! It’s long time friend of the show Leena Zarlinga! She is an incredible guest and helps us work through one of our best episodes yet! What’s that? You’ve listened to this whole episode and you want MORE LEENA?! We don’t blame you, she’s awesome. Check her out! Facebook! Twitter! Instagram! She’s got it all!Theme Music: Damn by Raftaar feat. KR$NAThe middle song is called Arey Pyaar Kar Le and it is part of the ASTOUNDING soundtrack to this film.

We hope you haven’t had your fill of potassium yet, because we’re traveling allllllll the way to Japan in the 90s to see if you really can get a banana at that time of night. Follow along as we discuss various kinds of sushi, the ethics of jokes involving death scares, mixed messages, and more!Theme Music: Dirt Boys by KOHH feat. Dutch Montana & Loota

Grief is a very difficult thing to deal with. Throw in a sickly little girl, some cooky neighbors, and the ever-present threat of death by bombing, and you’ve got Under the Shadow! This one had a lot to unpack, so we called in some reinforcements in the form of longtime friend of the show Patrick Johnstone! Through the power of the internet, we recorded an episode with Patrick where we talked about everything from Jane Fonda to evil tarps.Theme Music: بهای رهایی (Price of Freedom) by Salome MC feat. SplytSecond

BACK AT IT AGAIN LIKE WE NEVER LEFT! The world has gotten pretty wild since we last released an epsiode, but not to fear: we’re back. Today we sat down and discussed a family comedy film from the Philippines that has a lot of heart, and a lot more love. And also Pokeballs.Theme Music: Family Day by 727 Clique

And the Oscar goes to…us for having such a great time recording this Oscars episode! Corpus Christi translates to “Body of Christ” in Latin, which makes this an incredibly apt title for this 2019 religious drama!We are lucky enough to have to have our friends Dante Leach (@grandmasterflsh) and Uché Nwaro (@ucheegoochie) to help us traverse these troubled waters and it was a ton of fun! Dante also happens to be a professional photographer, check out https://www.grandmasterflashstudios.com/ for some of his incredible work!Theme Music: Toute l'année by PLK Feat. Timal

This time, season 3 is here for REAL for real. We welcomed back with a GREAT that tackles the issue of gender identity in Thailand, but not in the way you’d think! It’s also a horror comedy. Enjoy the spookies.Theme Music: เมา..มาย? by Joeyboy Feat. BOTCASH

Everybody. Move your feet and go to Budapest. Woah woah woah. We’re back with some premium content on a story about love, friendship, and Georgio. You won’t wanna miss it.Theme Song: Réseaux by Niska

Joseph Stalin once said “Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem .” That’s pretty fucking dark, but this is a movie about the Cold War, so you know. I thought it was fitting.Theme Music: Placebo by Adi Nowak feat. DZIARMA

What up! Have we been off for like two months without an episode? None of your business! In this episode, we try to answer a different question. War! What is it good for? Well, in this case, it’s good for learning about the Bosnian (Yugoslavian?) perspective on world history.Theme Music: Trese Kad Plese by Krazy Bosnians

In the 1930s, in rural Spain, women didn’t have many rights. They made two sisters marry actual wolves. It was crazy.

The ethnic hatred overtones in this film went WAYYYYYY over our heads. Probably because we're not from Spain. Oh well, as they say in Spain: "Hey, I'm from Spain". EnjoyTheme Music: Mueve by Abraham Mateo ft. Lali

If you like it when acupuncture is a key plot point in an early 20th century-set martial arts movie, then boy do we have the episode for you. 72 Dragons will await you in Heaven when you die.Theme Music: Be My Lonely by Yung Takeem and unlucky13

Oh dear lord. Good luck. That's all I have to say.

Veronica? I hardly know her! This week we watched a fun horror movie where a teenage girl got advice from a blind nun and played with a Ouija board. Dummy.Theme Music: Llorando en la Limo by C. Tangana

Strap in, folks. Or should I say, strap ON! That doesn't make any sense. This movie is about two gay teenage boys. Why would they need a strap on? You're better than this, JD. We make our triumphant return from the shadows with a film about growing up, drinking vodka, and riding bikes.Theme Music: Triunfo by Emicida

Holy shit. A Richie Rich dog gets into hi-jinks and murders a cat. What more can you possibly want from us?Theme Music: Fascism is Cured by Dying by Valtonyc and Dia Sexto

Wow. What a taught political thriller. In this episode, everyone has sex with Italian James Bond. Including Ariel and JD. Somehow.Theme Music: Prisoner 709 by Caparezza

Much like the dinosaurs in the seminal 1993 animated movie where Professor Screweyes tried to turn human children into monkeys for his demon, alien circus: We're back!

Nothing but tears in this week's episode of No Subtitles Necessary, as the boys dive deep into a South Korean zombie flick that has just as much heart as it does zombies who can't open doors.Theme Music: 잊지마 (It G Ma) by Keith Ape (feat. JayAllDay, Loota, Okasian & Kohh)

We apologize for the few audio disruptions in this episode. Must have been because we were so excited about doing yet ANOTHER film with human-animal hybrids. We go on our own journey in this episode: a journey to stupidity. We conquered no demons. In fact, we probably made more.Theme music: WeChat (feat. Keith Ape) by The Higher Brothers

Happy St. Patty's Day to all you Subterraneans out there! We decided to celebrate by not only doing an Irish language film, but also making this our shortest episode to date. Because f**k JD and his culture. So strap on your fake Leprechaun beards, pour yourself a pint of Guinness, and sit back and listen to us discuss a time when it would've been illegal for you to drink certain alcohols.

This was a very special episode for SOOOOOOO many reasons. 1) We finally got Dante on the episode, making our show instantly 1,000 times cooler. 2) We did a movie that won an Oscar just one week ago. 3) We have a new sponsor. 4) Three straight males sit down for an hour and a half to discuss the perspective of a transgender woman. You won't want to miss our most politically correct episode yet!

You may think that this episode is about the 2014 Lee Pace movie with the tree-man and the songs from the 1970s, but no. This movie is MUCH better. And that is 100% due to the fact that Guardians of the Galaxy had no bear-men, and this movie has one bear-man. Case closed.Check out all the cool new stuff on our website!

Love is a tricky mistress. It comes in all shapes and sizes. Especially when you're as deeply in love and Ariel and J...I mean Violette and Jean-René in the film "Lolo". But when you add a pesky, child-like, adult son into the mix, things get a little trickier. All is far in love and war and convincing the government that your future stepfather is a cyber-terrorist.

Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes? With a special guest, we present to you our hands down longest episode to date. We discuss the ins and outs of this classic 2010, female empowerment story "Hisss." You're not going to want to missssssss this one. Ha! A snake pun! Crushing it.Our dear, dear friend of many years Kristie Keleshian joined us on this one and it was a freaking blast. If you just can't get enough of Kristie's voice, she is a reporter for WMBC in New Jersey! Follow her on Twitter @KristieWMBC and find out where you can watch her stuff at www.wmbctv.com.Theme music by: www.bensound.com

Listen, is this the best movie we've ever watched? No. Is it the funniest? Maybe. Does it involve the most old perverts and slapstick comedy out of any movie we've ever watched? I'll answer that in the language of origin of this film: spaghetti. Theme music by: www.bensound.com

Our first ever episode with a guest! And two of them to boot! In this episode, we unpack the dense crime-thriller that was "Amok", or "The Promotion" in it's English release. We tackle the intricacies of this movie that's only real complexity is just that the main character is really, really fucking depressed.Theme music by www.bensound.com

If you thought that 54 seconds was too long to listen to a song from one of our movies, get ready to hear an entire minute! This time, we watched "Cook Up a Storm", a film that made us ask ourselves the important questions. How do we value the father figures in our lives? How many times can a film make you watch a chef's battle and still be compelling? Are fart jokes really necessary in a film like this? But mostly, it just made us really hungry.Theme music by: www.bensound.com

We're back watching some of that good Swedish, artsy film stuff. Based on a Roy Andersson joint, the highlights of this episode include some philosophical discussions on film, us forcing you to listen to 54 uninterrupted seconds of a song from the movie, and an audio bloop in the beginning where we lost a solid minute of our thoughts. What were they? Where's the glitch? I'll never tell (it's pretty easy to tell).Theme music by: www.bensound.com

Our inaugural episode! We did it! Welcome to our podcast where we watching foreign language films with no subtitles and try to figure out what it's about.On this episode, a Russian "science fiction" film that has it all. Dark Ages technology. Gorgeous saxophone solos. Feces used as inhalants. We REALLY loved this movie.Theme music by: www.bensound.com
