A fresh take on the Arthurian legend, David Lowery's "The Green Knight" is welcome addition to the low saturation, realism-centered historical films of late. Trevor, Raul, and frequent contributor Justin take a shot at deconstructing this medieval morality tale. It might even be a child-friendly Christmas movie. Find out on this week's... Film Hole.

Violence, witchcraft, and barking. See why the Northman has Trevor and Raul howling in this week's Film Hole.

A hyper violent lampoon of war and nationalism, this bug infested romp is packed with cool action and wacky politics. With their complete ignorance of civics on display, Trevor and Raul discuss topics as varied as gender, space bugs, politics, telepathy, and 9/11 in this week's... Film Hole.

This week, the hosts present, yet again, another surreal/psychedelic/acid Western. From the mind of countercultural auteur, Jim Jarmusch, whose films Wikipedia describes as "lacking clear plot progression"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jarmusch#Style ([1]), comes Dead Man. A movie so enigmatic I'm having a hard time coming up with the show notes, join Trevor and Raul as they try to stay on topic, on this weeks... Film Hole.

Trevor and Raul's triumphant return to The Film Hole!!!!!!!! This week, we take a look back at a classic, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Practical effects up the wazoo, gluttonous cookie consumption, and Scorpion V. Ant action, sign me up.

Gun-fu, cool sunglasses, allegory of the cave; the Matrix has something for the whole family. This week, Raul & Trevor jack-in to the surprisingly deep lore of the 1999 action/sci-fi classic. Love it or hate it, the gamut of all Matrix IP is rich with characters, history, and mind-bending (and spoon-bending) laws of science. Where did the machines come from? What level of consciousness does Agent Smith actually have? And if you were going to build the Matrix, how would you actually do it? All of these questions and more are somewhat answered in this week's Film Hole.

Trevor and Raul dive back into 1960's weirdness with 1962's The Exterminating Angel. An iconic work by the Spanish/Mexican director Luis Buñuel, The Exterminating Angel follows the events of an uppity dinner party as it devolves into chaos... for pretty much no reason at all. Have you ever had the experience of guests overstaying their welcome and your hospitality by not going home even though it's 3AM!? What's that? You've forgotten what a party is, and you haven't left your home in 9 months? Fair enough, but thankfully Luis Buñuel has, on this weeks... Film Hole.

The feeling of watching a hot sex scene with your parents but in podcast form. This week Trevor and Raul dive deep, deep into the Film Hole to talk about Paul Thomas Anderson's funky sophomore effort "Boogie Nights". A tasteful picture about the emerging porn industry of 70s southern California, this movie has the disco to make your wrists go.

This week Trevor, Raul, and Justin tackle the only two solo directing credits from traditionally screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. That is to say, the reason this episode is late is because of how depressed the hosts were afterwards. They explore, what we think Kaufman wants them to explore, which is death, the fleetingness of time, and regret. Despite this, this week's episode is extra long to accommodate what has been one of the best conversations on Film Hole so far.

Trevor and Raul are joined by long time editor Grace Fawcett to discuss the chic French classic Amélie. A movie that puts the "G" in "RGB", a movie that is as dense as it is French, Trevor and Raul and Grace are getting in your face... in this week's... Film Hole.

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg. You definitely thought it was directed by JJ Abrams. But it wasn't. Clearly the best film in the CCU (Cloverfield Cinematic Universe), but isn't without it's problems.
