The eighth installment in one of the most entertaining franchises ever made, The Final Reckoning is Tom Cruise's Return of the King. Whether it suffers from too much exposition is a matter of taste (and debated by the hosts), but both agree that the movie does what only its star can do: deliver thrills that derive from both the plot and the knowledge that what they are seeing is, in some sense, real. Buster Keaton, Jackie Chan, and Tom Cruise all make themselves as much of a character in the films as the fictional people they are portraying, which puts the viewer in a strange and wonderful place. Tom Cruise has saved the world yet again, and may (as Steven Spielberg told him) have saved the industry. Want to read about the first film in the franchise? Renowned film editor Paul Hersch's memoir, A Long Time Ago in a Cutting Room Far, Far Away: My Fifty Years Editing Hollywood Hits–Star Wars, Carrie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Mission: Impossible, and More details his working with Brian DePalma on the first of the eight MI films.

Caper movies aren't like others involving criminals: there's an aesthetic to a caper that's as important to the thieves as it is to the viewers. Heist is David Mamet's 2001 caper film that stands as his Singin' in the Rain—an apt comparison, since “caper” meant “to dance” long before it took on its criminal meaning. Join us for an appreciation of one of Gene Hackman's best yet least-discussed performances and of Mamet's highly unrealistic dialogue. (Yes, you read that correctly–and we love David Mamet.) David Mamet's short book On Directing Film is a great companion to Heist. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. Please subscribe to the show and consider leaving us a rating or review.

On Episode No. 121 of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, America's favorite caffeine-fueled cinephiles do what any responsible adults would: they metaphorically strap themselves to the hood of a psychedelic Hot Wheels car and rocket straight into the candy-colored chaos of 2008's Speed Racer. It's the episode longtime listeners have waited for and longtime haters will pretend not to enjoy. While co-host Dan Moran is presumably still hungover on a beach somewhere in Jamaica, contemplating existence through the bottom of a rum bottle and the lens of a pair of novelty sunglasses, Chelsea Nicole returns from podcasting exile. Once vocal critics of the film, both Preston Barta and Chelsea arrive reborn, their opinions evolved, their chakras aligned with the Mach 5. It's character development worthy of the Wachowskis themselves. Joining the gang is none other than Kristi Shimek, editing wizard, recurring guest, and one-time spiritual leader of My Bloody Podcast's Lake Mungo episode. In a twist so poetic it would make M. Night Shyamalan consider early retirement, it was Kristi, yes, Kristi, who chose Speed Racer as this episode's topic. Turns out, she didn't just like the movie. She wrote her thesis on it. A thesis. About Speed Racer. This is, academically speaking, a baller move. The post Episode #121 – Speed Racer (2008) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Dan Moran, president of Los Angeles-based bespoke jeweler Concierge Diamonds, explains the impact of tariffs on retail and how his business has shifted its inventory strategy. Plus: The benefits of being a licensed pilot. Visit www.youtube.com/@rapaportYT to watch the full video version.

It's our 300th episode and we honor a listener request for this milestone. The Fisher King (1991) could not be made today–not because of politics or cultural changes, but because it's impossible to neatly classify. A love story, a tale of redemption, a disturbing study of psychosis, a romantic comedy, and an Artthurian quest, the film combines genres in ways that some audiences–or at least producers–might not appreciate. But the film is hilarious, frightening, and ultimately affirming of its two lead characters' decisions to abandon their despair and find meaning in their lives.

“Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.” So said W. H. Auden and so we see demonstrated in Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (1960), which boldly employs every convention of the horror film in order to achieve a stunning, authentic portrait of a disturbing mind at work. But Mark is no ordinary slasher: he's an artist who is also a perfectionist and whose compulsion to destroy is like the compulsion to create. As Mark gives his all for the sake of his art, so did Michael Powell, whose reputation never recovered from the scandal of this film. It was released in the same year as Psycho, which it resembles, yet the two audiences across the Atlantic had very different reactions to their homegrown killers. The University Press of Mississippi offers an excellent series of collected interviews. Here's their volume on Michael Powell. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.
