The analysis and evaluation of films
POPULARITY
After our Luca Guadagnino episode, we are continuing our coverage of director in their "pump 'em out" phase with Yorgos Lanthimos' third film in as many years — Bugonia. Once again re-teaming with his muse Emma Stone, Lanthimos delivers an uproarious, mean-spirited conspiracy thriller. We discuss director jail, an updated rundown of Lanthimos' filmography, and a review of the film.
The gang calls in the big guns this week as they (Pete) reviews our first entry for Pre-Code November, the OG Scarface starring Paul Muni. Joining Pete on his journey is crowd favorite, Aunt Linda, to drop some knowledge on the class about the short era between the inception of talkies, and the Hays Code being enacted. It's a fascinating time in film history, and Scarface is a fascinating movie to go along with it.

Eddie Murphy plays Prince Akeem and, with the help of a whole lotta latex, several other supporting characters in the 1988 hit, "Coming to America." Back then, the movie charmed audiences and critics alike, and solidified Murphy as box office royalty. It also gave him an opportunity to be in a rom com. But now, decades later, is 80's Eddie still a King of Comedy? Should the barbershop scenes end up on the cutting room floor? And, are our two love interests following a rose-pedaled path to heartbreak? The Old Roommates head to Queens and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Smear on some Soul Glo and join them. Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

We are here for THE PLAYER. Robert Altman crafts a piece of fine art with this twisty m**der mystery about Griffin Mill, a high-level movie executive, who gets embroiled in a vendetta with a writer whose idea he didn't greenlight. Genius, right? This one is one of the good ones.

Luca Guadagnino directs his third movie in two years with After the Hunt. A "cancel culture" drama set in 2019, Guadagnino's latest collides academia with an attempted snapshot of the #MeToo era. Will it complete a barn burner trifecta after Challengers and Queer last year? Or is 2025 too late to put the finger on the pulse of 2019? Tune in and find out.

Click here to try it out!In this episode, we wade into Chinatown — a sun-bleached noir where water is power, everyone's lying, and the system wins. We talk Jack Nicholson's bandaged nose, Faye Dunaway's glass-shard fragility, John Huston's all-time villainy, and that ending that still guts you. Yes, we address the director caveat up front; then we focus on what's on screen: A precision-engineered thriller that never wastes a line, a clue, or a cut.What we coverWhy “Chinatown”? The title's bleak punchline and what “forget it” really means in a city built on corruption.Follow the water: Droughts, land grabs, cooked records, and a murder that only makes sense when you trace the pipes.Noir done right: Goldsmith's moody trumpet score, razor tailoring, art-deco menace, and how every tiny detail pays off.Iconic moments: The nose slice (cameo alert), the “my sister/my daughter” reveal, and the slow-motion horror of the finale.Performances: Nicholson's cocky PI unravelled, Dunaway's haunted elegance, Huston's monstrous calm.The ethics disclaimer: Separating a notorious off-screen history from on-screen craft — and why that discomfort belongs in the conversation.Context chats: How the screenplay became a template, the year it ran into The Godfather Part II, and why the ending had to be that ending.Should you watch it?If you like your mysteries tidy and comforting, this isn't that. If you want clockwork plotting, glorious craft, and a finish that lingers… it's essential. We're candid, a bit feral, and very fun about it.“Every throwaway line is a breadcrumb. By the time you see the trail, it's already too late.”

It's Halloween, so we decided to do a "scary" one! Podcaster, author, and emissary from the City of Brotherly Love Trevor Strunk joins to discuss Robert Rodriguez's 1998 Breakfast-Club-Meets-Body-Snatchers riff The Faculty. Boasting a memorable cast of young up-and-comers and a script written by Scream-scribe Kevin Williamson, the film is both playfully self-aware and slyly subversive in its explorations of social hierarchies and the omnipresent 90s fixation with conformity to the monoculture. We begin by exploring how the film updates the Body Snatcher narrative, borrowing (and explicitly citing) the literary works of Robert A. Heinlen and Jack Finney, as well as both previous Body Snatchers film adaptations by Don Siegel and Philip Kaufman. Then, we contend with some of the movie's most intriguing premises - its assertions about capitalist hierarchies and how they maintain the oppression of marginalized out-groups as well as how American society impedes gratifying sexual expression (especially for women). Finally, we examine the deceptively cynical ending and what it suggests about the stickiness of the neoliberal order, its structural hold on the horizons of our sociopolitical imagination.

Boy meets car. Boy loves car. Car loves boy. Car turns homicidal. Yes, 1983's horror movie, "Christine" asked audiences to buckle up and suspend disbelief. Audiences and critics were mixed back then, but the film went on to become a cult classic. But now, over four decades later, does this flick violate more than the Lemon Law? Can a 1958 Plymouth be scary? Can evil cure vision challenges? And why are Arnie (Keith Gordon) and Dennis (John Stockwell) even friends to begin with?

For years I was always freaked out when I saw the cover for the film, Leprechaun.

Let us know your thoughtsThe Horror Cut x Trash Cinema — Trash Fest Horror specialWe took The Horror Cut on the road, straight into the pulsing, beer-scented heart of Drygate for Trash Cinema's Trash Fest Horror — and discussed Lucky McKee's unsettling May (2002). Recorded live with Trash Cinema, this episode was a creepy, playful deep-dive into a film that makes you sympathise with the monster and root for the misfit.We unpack its aching loneliness, mixed with the comedy hiding in grotesque missteps, and the film's knack for turning small betrayals into operatic horrors. Whether you love the film, love to hate it, or have never seen anything quite like it, this episode captures the thrill of communal fear and the weird comfort that comes from finding your weird people in a packed room.IG - @thehorrorcutshow | @HewittGPro | @StephenkerrActor_Performer FB - Facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573701383591

And like that, we're coming out of another "Spooky P**is Month" and back to the drudgery of season... Shorter days. Colder nights. Christmas. It's all downhill from here. SO CHERISH THESE MOMENTS! We're covering one of cinema's brightest stars and a film he wishes to have absolutely no association with WHATSOEVER! Yeah, we're covering Ti West. Of course, people will scream from the mountains, "Guys, there are other films to cover of his!" and you would be correct, but this is just kind of funny... AND GROSS! This is one of the most shameless, ickiest, nastiest looking sequels to an underwhelming horror franchise from Eli Roth and, y'know what? This rulez! Just be prepared for how gross it is, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
