Jason and Jules draw actors name's from a hat and watch their filmography in chunks of ten. Some are stinkers. You want to hear about Billy Crudup's early movies? How about that Keith Gordon? Yeah. For sure.
Sometimes, a janitor can't dance. Sometimes, they're (not really) an... EYEWITNESS William Hurt plays a janitor. He used to work with James Woods, but Woods got fired. One night he discovers one of the offices in his workplace has a freshly murdered guy in it. What should he do? Go home, go to bed and never tell anyone he saw that body? Sigourney Weaver is a reporter that he's a super creep to. Christopher Plummer is in here, too! And Morgan Freeman! Is it good? Why haven't you ever heard of this?!?!?! Tune in and see what's up! It has chase sequences motorcycle chain attacks!
Space miners accidentally pick up an alien. They should just listen to Sigourney Weaver, but they do not. It doesn't go well.
For the second Sigourney, we ask what if there were a... Madman. "Imprisoned for two years and then freed, a Soviet Jew (Michael Beck) goes to Israel and plots revenge." Does that sound super awesome? I think it sounds super awesome. BUT IS THAT THIS MOVIE?!?!?! Or is it a bizarrely dull ensemble movie following a bunch of people around an army base? Tune in! Find out!
Here's the first of the Sigourney movies. You're thinking to yourself, "wait, she's in... Annie Hall?" Sure. Sure she is. Big time. Such a big character. Woody Allen annoys women. But they seem to like him. He meets a girl version of him. They date. Happily ever after???
For a complete change of pace, behold the very first movie of Jeffrey Dean Morgan! He's a pimp! Named Sharkey! And you know what? He gets...UncagedSome nice ladies work the streets. Their pimp is pretty nice I guess as far as pimps go, but then he sees a woman smacking her kid around and it unearths trauma and he goes bonkers. Is this amazing? Is it cheesy? Is it weird? Find out.
There was a time in the 90s when you'd watch something because there wasn't many of them. A new superhero movie? They don't make those, sign me up! A vampire film in a movie theater? Oh my! And? Stoner movies. They were few and far between and you'd just watch the one good "Cheech and Chong" movie if you wanted to watch people get high while you were getting high. Then came..."Half Baked".Four friends smoke weed all the time and live together? I think? One of them feeds a police horse hundreds of dollars worth of treats, the horse dies, and he goes to jail as a cop killer. What else happens? Watch and find out! Behold the baby versions of Dave Chapelle, Jim Bruer, Gulliermo Diaz and Harland Williams. Happy 420!
We wrapped up the Spike Lee series on a movie both of us hated. So what do we do? Move on? Or do we experience the sunken cost fallacy and continue on to...Da Five BloodsFour super old guys go back to 'Nam under the guise of finding their dead friends body and bringing it back to the states. But they also want a whole bunch of gold they hid. How will these senior citizens drag extremely heavy gold out of the jungle? Will they relive their war days by battling more dudes in the jungle? Are Jason and Jules absolutely befuddled by the love for this movie? Find out!Rate, review, subscribe, tell people. Or not. You do you. But if you do a written review somewhere, we'll cover a movie of your choice.
Here comes Spike Lee's takedown of the iPad generation! "Red Hook Summer"! A young boy, devoid of personality other than being an annoying millenial, gets ditched at his grandpa's apartment for the summer. His grandpa is a preacher. WITH A SECRET! Also, Mookie shows up. This is it. There's no more #spikelee film appearances (for now?!?! It'd be rad if he did a cameo in #highest2lowest ), but we've got #dafivebloods coming real quick. Link in bio for all the #podcast links. #clarkepeters #tonilysaith #julesbrown #thomasjeffersonbyrd #podcast #filmography #blankcheck #redlettermedia #rlm #filmspotting #moviereview #colemandomingo #hdtgm
Much like "Basic Instinct", "Body of Evidence" has a hot lady that the police think is a murderer. This time, the hot lady is Madonna. And, much like the weird choice of Michael Douglas being paired up for sexy adventures, we get Willem Dafoe. He's younger, he's less scary, and he's just absolutely gotta do his wife (Julianne Moore) dirty and get on Madonna's houseboat for some wax sex.Go on an erotic adventure with us as we gawk and grumble along.
You're a cab driver. There's someone going around killing your co-workers. You're tired, your stomach is full of roaches from the Chinese food you ate earlier and it's... 3 A.M. Lee Davis worked on some Spike Lee movies doing craft services and set production and then wrote and directed this. It has a weirdly stacked cast with Danny Glover, Michelle Rodriguez, Bobby Cannavale, Pam Grier, Sarita Choudhury, Mike Star, Aasif Mandvi and lots of other familiar faces. Is it good? Great question! We want to tell you! Oh, and Spike is in this. If you liked this, please do review anywhere you can leave a podcast review. We will cover a movie of your choosing if you let us know about it. Feel free to hit the hotline or Gmail. Next week, the final Spike Lee movie with Spike Lee doing a role of some kind.
Who is Lisa Picard? "Lisa Picard Is Famous!" Griffin Dunne made this. He roped famous people like Spike Lee into having bit parts. We were both like "this might be good!" But is it? IS IT?!?!?!
Sam woke up one day and thought this is gonna be my summer! I'm gonna pursue my passions and meet new people. This is gonna be the... "Summer of Sam" There's a serial killer on the loose. But, more importantly, there's a dork with a fake English accent being all punk as can be and humping pillow dolls on a stage. There's also a guy who's real mean to his wife. Will they be murdered???? No. But there is a talking dog. Find out if it's worth watching, cause we're gonna tell you.
An extremely good looking lady is sick of auditions where they want her to bust those things out and shake em around. So? She becomes... GIRL 6 A superhero? No, a phone-sex operator! And she makes good money. And Spike Lee is her cousin/neighbor. But? Things can't go well or we don't have a movie. File this under "I specifically never watched this movie cause it looked boring". Is it??? Tune in and find out!
Strike sells crack in the projects (do we still call it that?). He can score a promotion if he executes another member of this lil mafia. What's he gonna do? Whine to his brother. Clockers! This is based on a Richard Price novel. Spike is doing his version of a Scorcese movie. We get a whole bunch of talent like Delroy Lindo, Harvey Keitel, Michael Imperioli and Keith David. 12 year old Jason would have told you this movie and book are masterpieces. What does adult Jason think?
"The Love Witch" just wants a manly man to devote herself to. Unfortunately, her partners keep dying. And folks are starting to get riled up over the peace between people and Witch. What on earth Will happen??? There's a raging debate over here on whether or not this is a sexy movie. One of us is all boners all the time, but the other is baffled and un-bonered to the maxx. Subscribe? Review?
Sometimes life gives you lemons, and sometimes your mom just up and dies. Crooklyn! A family in a brownstone is going through some trouble in the 70s. Dad's failed as a musician, there's a whole pile of kids, and mom is getting real sick of all it. What's a family to do? Ship one of the kids off to relatives I guess. Can I do that? Can I send a kid away for an extended period of time? One of us loves this, the other sighs. Rate and review us? It would be real cool if you did.
Once upon a time, they were just killing all of our civil rights leaders. Hey, you got somebody looking out for you? Nope, not anymore."Malcolm X" has Spike Lee in a smaller role than the previous movies, but him and Denzel are goofy as heck in this when they're young (do you also, as probably an adult, go to the playground in your suits and play finger guns?).It's the same length as "Godfather 2". Is it worth it? Tune in!
This is originally from the Wesley Snipes run.
2 brothers, a dad, a pizza place, and good times had by all. In? Do The Right Thing Danny Aiello has a pizza place in a black neighborhood. One of his kids is a real scumbag racist, the other one is trying. Spike Lee delivers pizza for them, and Giancarlo Esposito is pure chaos. Everything's gonna be cool, right? Nah, brah, not at all.
Spike Lee shoots for the moon with his own college musical (kinda) School Daze! Lawrence Fishburne is one of those college kids whose mind is open to the injustices of the world and wraps himself in that blanket. Giancarlo Esposito is a frat king, lining up his future. You'd think that would be just fine, everyone is doing their thing, but nope. One of us experiences an awakening while watching this. Another one gloms onto the silliness of college. But hey, at least there's another super ugly sexual situation to bring us together, right?!?! Ooof, the 80s, am I right? Tune in, rate, review, whatever ya wanna do.
Stephen Jenkins plays a guy who immediately leaves his wife when he gets a cool job, after years of her taking care of him. Was she mean? Nah, they didn't smash parts as much as they used to and she wants a baby, so he's like "later" . What's a lady to do? Practice the... Art of Revenge!!!! This a listener pick. Thanks, Paul! He sent this thing right to my house!
When Spike Lee was in his late 20s, he let us know (for the first time)... She's Gotta Have It Nola Darling has a beefcake business man, a romantic chill type and a goofy, charming young man all vying for her love. But what does she want? Who will she choose? And why can't it just be rotating cast of hotties for her???? Spike emerges fully formed with his first feature. We cover it real nice, right here, on the first episode of We Doing Filmographies ALL SPIKE ALL THE TIME.
What do the kids of 2003 want? Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas! Just kidding. Hey, old people, nobody wants your childhood. Let it go. The thrills of a kid from before 1965 are not for now. Please stop. Sinbad is a real d-bag. He plans to steal a magic book and Michelle Pfeiffer plays an evil god of Chaos who wants it for herself. He has to get it back. This movie is a boring fart. We hate it. Please do subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Goodpods, Audible, or wherever you possibly can and if you let us know, we'll cover a movie of your choosing.
Bachelor Matt? Is he the focus of... Confessions of a Dangerous Mind? Chuck Barris said he killed people for the CIA when he was filming "The Gong Show". Sam Rockwell plays him. He kills people for the CIA while he films "The Gong Show". Jules and Jason loved this when it came out on DVD. They both still love Sam Rockwell. Will they still love this movie? Or is it total garbage? Will they get Robert John Burke's name right? Do they love Julia Roberts smug mugging for the camera? Tune in! Please do subscribes, rate, review us on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser, Podcast Addict, Audible, Goodpods or wherever you possibly could. If you do that, and let us know, we will cover a movie of your choosing on the podcast.
Nicky Katt is playing modern but also olden time Hitler in a play. Enrico Colantoni is his director, who grapples with what a garbage bag Katt's character is. Julia Roberts interviews Blair Underwood, who is probably shooting "Eight" with Brad Pitt. Catherine Keener is going to leave her husband David Hyde Pearce, who just got fired from a job where he appears to do nothing. And Mary McCormack has to deal with David Duchovney's boner. It's time for some "Full Frontal".
One time, Steven Soderbergh was like "let's have some fun!" and hired all the fancy boys. They became... Ocean's Eleven A mega heist. A sewer filled to the brim with poop. Probably no jump humping. But loads of charisma. Rate, review, subscribe, you know the drill.

There is a game afoot. A... SPY GAME! Robert Redford. Brad Pitt. Foreign jails. Gum.
Friday night's a great night for football! Also, Satan claws is out there.
A young Freddy Rodriguez guns down his abusive dad and goes to jail, only to become Billy Wirth as an adult. Will he ever get out of jail? Yeah, immediately. How will Billy Wirth fair with his newfound freedom? Will he meet a nice lady? Will his parole officer mess with him?

Here we are. The end. It comes for us all. It's usually ugly. In this case, we say goodbye to Mark Darby Robinson's movies (we done did em all) and we say goodbye to the man himself. With this documentary, we ride or die right up to his final form, and it's so very depressing and honest. "Mark" covers the Billy Lewis run of films, "A Clockwork Maury", "Ding-a-ling-less" and "Septien". We finally get a pinch of info about who this guy is and what he'd been doing prior to the movies we just covered. If you watched any of these, head over to the Scare Network and watch "Mark".
The final Mark Darby Robinson performance in a film is here, in "Septien". What is "Septien"? Well, three middle-aged brothers are complete emotional messes and when one returns to the fold, things get bonkers. Michael Tully directed and wrote this along with Onur Tukel and Robert Longstreet. If you were a lil IFC dork like me and Jules, this is gonna be your jam. Get ready for odd, sad, funny with "Septien".
Sam smokes weed and works at a storage facility with Mark Darby Robinson. Adam is a dick who beds a lot of ladies. Their lives intertwine and there's so many characters.. Does "Half Empty" feel like it's from the 90s? Is it actually kind of funny and charming? Does Mark manage to be both quite good and aggravating? well, you could watch this on youtube or listen to this and find out. Choose your adventure!
For the sixth episode, guess who's going to jail tonight? Everyone. Enter "The Jailhouse". C. Thomas Howell is tasked with living in a farmhouse/jail with his family and watching after prisoners after a jail burned down. But? But the jail is evil. We've got a psycho, a rapist, a drug mule? A couple regular dudes, and? Mark Darby Robinson has been bouncing checks, so he's in there as well. So what's gonna happen when the evil gets in Ponyboy's head? Are him and the prisoners and his wife and kids going to find community and form a big family while they wait for the jail to be rebuilt? Will none of this even matter a tiny bit by the end? Will Jules blow Jason's mind when he informs him that Rod from "The Signal" is in this? Tune in! Rate, review, subscribe, but also about reviewing, go to Apple Podcasts and review it there and pick a movie for us to cover. Or not. It'd be cool though.
For the fifth episode, go "Fourth and Long" and save that team, ok? Mark Darby Robinson plays "The Chuck" and he's obsessed with the local high school football team. As are two other dorks. What in god's name will happen when funding for the team gets cut? Do they kill everyone in town? Do they ask why anyone would cut sports, because we all know education would be thrown away entirely for football? Or do they fundraise? Tune in! Watch this on Amazon! Thanks to Billy Lewis for hooking us up with 3 movies that were real hard to find a year ago when we recorded these.
For the fourth episode of the MDR run, don't be a wife in this town, cause "The Pigs" are stabbing everyone. Some garbage men hire a dude to kill their wives. There's some nefarious land grabbing and hot ladies out to stop it. There's also 'ol Mark eating a sandwich and telling a gross/disturbing/hilarious story. Tune in for another Tukel joint, but I reckon he'd prefer I didn't mention he did it.
For the third Mark Darby Robinson episode, we present to you "Undertow". Yep, it's from the Robert Longstreet run. Two boys go on the run to escape their uncle, who done killed their daddy for some daddy gold. While on their journey, they run into Mark Darby Robinson in a very short, but weirdly memorable part. Will they get to keep their daddy gold? Will their uncle bleed out in the river? Man, who knows (jk, I know what happens). Tune in!
For the second in our Darby run, and his actual film role (I think... it sounds like he was around in the 80's, but maybe just as an extra?), we have a re-broadcast from our first Robert Longstreet series. This poor dude gets his pee pee cut off when he's a baby. He is pretty asexual, but loves hearing about his horny friend's escapades. Eventually, he goes to meet up with a doctor who can attach a new dong. That doctor? MARK DARBY ROBINSON!
For our new run, I ask you "Have you ever heard of Mark Darby Robinson?" Your answer should almost certainly be no, unless you happened to live in Wilmington, NC and would see him wandering everywhere 20 years ago. The Darb-ster is someone we came across in "Ding-a-ling-Less", an Onur Tukel film we covered in the Robert Longstreet run. He plays the dick doctor and rattles off some pretty amazing dialog in his few scenes. We ended up seeing two more of his movies in that batch and the dude just pops. Much like Eddie Rouse in "Low and Behold", I said "We really need to cover him at some point." So here we are. Kicking off this one with a few short films. We're re-releasing the Longstreet episodes so all the Mark stuff is in a row and then we end on a documentary that Billy Lewis (who did "4th and Long" and "The Jailhouse") made about his always game friend and actor. Buckle up, this is a wild ride. Feel free to tell all your friends, sing songs about us, or even rate and review us on Apple podcasts so we can cover a movie of your choosing.
We couldn't handle it, ok? We wanted more spookies. So here's a way too long video covering 5 movies. Hereditary The Birthday (2004) The Lost Boys The Signal (2007) Nightmares (1983)
Oh my god, don't answer the phone! Or maybe you should? Well, we found out what happens "When A Stranger Calls Back" and it's not good! And also it's not the same stranger. New teenager. New scary guy. Same Carol Kane and Charles Durning. Is this the scariest movie Jason has ever seen? Did Jules see this as a kid and check corners of his house with a bat cause that dude could be there? I guess you'll have to find out in this here episode of We Doing Spookies.
We really screwed up watching the sequel first. Here's a whole movie about a babysitter getting scary phone calls. Just 90 mins of heavy breathing. Just kidding, we were both shocked when, much like the 2nd film, it is a completely different movie after the first 20 minutes and we were fully on board with Charles Durning getting his detective on. WHY IS THIS NOT A CLASSIC ON THE LEVEL OF OTHER CLASSIC SPOOKIES?!?!? Rate, review (you can pick a movie for us to cover if you do an apple podcast review) subscribe and dive into the back catalog.
We all sick of zombies yet? There was a time, long ago, when there weren't many zombie movies and it would be exciting when you found one! Just like comic book movies! But, now... This came out in 2018 and I don't think anyone paid any attention. Yes, it's yet another zombie movie, but it's about loneliness, the monotony of the day, and just getting by. Did this surprise us? Did Jason make it to the end of the movie before realizing the main character was the lead of a devastating character drama he absolutely loved?

Ok, so you're a little boy. You play with cars. Some dork trips on one at the family store and I guess you gotta die for that. Pretty reasonable, right... People seem pretty split on this one.

You ever just get so sick of doing all the drugs and all the sex and all the adventuring and then you're like "I dunno, maybe I should call up some demons for some kink"? That ever happen to you? Frank is a real piece of sh*t. He calls up pinhead and the rest of the team and gets hornied into pieces. Then his brother moves into the same house with his scandalous wife and she feeds horny boys to Frank. I wasn't allowed to see this when I was little. Jules was. What are our thoughts?

Our hombre and yours, David Dastmalchian, plays a late night talk show host who just can't get ahead in the ratings game. So what's a guy to do? Sell his soul to the devil? Turn his wife over to the dark lord? Perhaps book a lil demon baby on the show? I dunno, did you eagerly anticipate and watch this yet? You know the answers, right???? Don't get death puke on yourself, but do tune into this episode and do a little dance. More spookies on the way. Tune into previous spookies.
