We're back after our year break, and we are so excited to talk Titanic and all things Cameron. We bring in sci-fi expert Travis Olson to talk about JC's least fictional film and hear his thoughts on why it's the greatest movie of all time. Connor shares many stories about his viewing experiences and Jon loves the scope and wishes for more films like this.WARNING: Major spoilers for Titanic Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featured  Films mentioned in this episode:Titanic (1997) | Dir.

Connor & Jon bring on the final sibling, one Dima Skinner, to discuss the not-so-humble beginnings of the Fast and the Furious franchise. Jon's opinion wavers back and forth as to whether it is a rip-off of Point Break, Dima can't stand the nonsense car lingo, and Connor brings forth a defense for Keanu Reeves.WARNING: Major spoilers for The Fast and the Furious and Point BreakFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featured Films mentioned in this episode:--------------------------------The Fast and the Furious (2001) | Dir.

Connor & Jon once again dip into the deep well of Indiana Jones to discuss Spielberg's ward's attempt to make an action-adventure film. Together the two examine what separates Indy from it's rip-offs, why the adventure genre is so hard to tackle, and Walt Disney's famous last words..."Kurt Russell!"WARNING: Major spoilers for Romancing the Stone, Raiders of the Lost Ark, & Contact Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featuredFilms Mentioned in this Episode:---------------------------------Romancing the Stone (1984) | Dir.

Connor & Jon get sent to space prison or Manhattan prison as they examine the weird Euro-action b-movie Lockout, and it's definite point of inspiration Escape from New York. They examine the actual legal action that was taken against Lockout and decipher how original of an idea did Luc Besson have? Jon thinks there's a better bad movie that could have been made, Connor is annoyed at the rules of space this film breaks, and both question the place of Snake Plissken in 80s' and modern action films.WARNING: Major spoilers for Escape from New York & Lockout, minor spoilers for Big Trouble in Little China & Predator Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featured Films mentioned in this episode:--------------------------------Lockout (2012) | Dir.

Connor & Jon mosey on down to the ol' West/feudal Japan to consume one of the greatest spaghetti Westerns of all time: A Fistful of Dollars! Since there was a legal dispute over this film, does it automatically make it a rip off of Yojimbo? Connor gets way too worked up over a Rotten Tomatoes Top 100 list, Jon wants to propose to Morricone's score, and the two try to hold the show together through Covid and technical malfunctions.WARNING: Major spoilers for A Fistful of Dollars and YojimboFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featured Films mentioned in this episode:--------------------------------A Fistful of Dollars (1964) | Dir.

Connor & Jon get spooked out by Tim Burton's claymation adaptation of his short film: Frankenweenie.

Connor & Jon are reluctantly dragged to space as they try to decipher James Gray's opaque space road movie.

Connor & Jon are joined by Thatcher Radler to discuss Joker and why it pulled so much from King of Comedy and Taxi Driver. Jon is bothered by the messiness of the Batman and DC universe. Connor can't stand the film's tone of uber-serious. Thatcher progressively realizes how much of a rip-off this film is. WARNING: Major spoilers for Joker, minor spoilers for Taxi Driver & King of Comedy Follow Suite 25:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7HEdFdon42QifJyEZxAIpE?si=xc4t-nGDTOO9g1JEyuWdagYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgKbWWQ8U19kxgFfyN13zhwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/suite25music/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Suite25 Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featured Films mentioned in this episode:--------------------------------Joker (2019) | Dir.

Connor & Jon set up the stage for their new series: Retelling or Rip-Off. They make the distinction on what films are eligible, and that this is not dedicated to official remakes or adaptions, but to films that walk the line of inspiration and stealing. Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featured

Connor & Jon grab a milkshake with musician and filmmaker Erick Frost and talk about the subversive oil epic: There Will Be Blood. Connor is happy because the film is a non-traditional slow western.

Connor and Jon are left nearly speechless by the tastelessness of the film that "Hollywood doesn't want you to see." There's good reason for that slogan as it is nearly unbearable to watch.

Connor & Jon dig through the VHS' to find Noah Baumbach's forgotten (or thrown out) third film. They try to guess at what the intended purpose of the film was and why Eric Stoltz didn't play the main character. But hey, it's gotta be hard trying to make a film in 6 days.WARNING: Major spoilers for HighballFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featuredFilms mentioned  in this episode:---------------------------------Highball (1997) | Dir.

Connor & Jon are joined by their old co-worker, Travis Olson, to dig into Stanley Kubrick's worst film. They try to find his roots and genius in this snooze-fest of a war film. And ponder whether the director's wishes towards their finished products should be followed and if it's a waste of resources restoring a bad film?WARNING: Major spoilers for Fear and Desire, minor spoilers for It's a Wonderful Life & Bridge on the River KwaiFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featuredFilms mentioned in this episode:--------------------------------Fear and Desire (1953)| Dir.

Connor & Jon need help tearing into this awful movie, and that's why they brought on their good friend Ed Blizzard to rip Catwoman apart. Ed explains why the film is a disgrace to a great character. Connor rants about Pitof's plan to shoot it like a perfume commercial. Jon can't get over the fact that her powers are derived from a magical cat burp.WARNING: Major spoilers for Catwoman, minor spoilers for Captain America: Civil War & The Dark Knight RisesFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featuredFilms mentioned in this episode:---------------------------------Catwoman (2004) | Dir.

Connor & Jon start off their new series with one of the most chaotic films of all time and they are not too happy about it. They try to analyze why Spielberg can't make a direct comedy, what Zemeckis & Gale's original intention for the screenplay was, and how you can have so many great actors in a film with no great performances.WARNING: Major spoilers for 1941, minor spoilers for Miracle Mile & Dr. StrangeloveFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featuredFilms mentioned in this episode:---------------------------------1941 (1979) | Dir.
