Another light week for physical media but Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski have you covered with one of the greatest comedies of all time and one of Peter Sellers' overlooked gems. There is film noir, a sorority massacre and a pair of films covered on The Friendship Dilemma podcast.

Sometimes we accidentally stumble into a theme at Spoilerpiece, and this week's theme is movies that make us dissolve into choking sobs. First, Megan and Dave weigh in on THE PENGUIN LESSONS, a movie that should be slight; a high school English teacher in politically fraught 1972 Argentina (Steve Coogan) rescues a pengiun and then everyone learns something. Megan and Dave agree: This movie should not work. It should be treacly and stupid...but it made us weep. Legit tears, not tears cheaply jerked from us. Kudos to Coogan for navigating the screenplay's potential pitfalls - he is excellent - and director Peter Cattaneo for laying off the sentiment. Next, Evan joins Megan and Dave to dicuss BOB TREVINO LIKES IT, featuring superb turns by Barbie Ferreira and John Leguizmo as two lonely people who strike up an unlikely and deep friendship that helps shepherd them through emotional trauma. This movie made us sob real tears. (Again, not jerked, but earned.) And then over on Patreon our Women's History Month poll winner is the disaster that is ANGIE, directed by Martha Coolidge and starring Geena Davis; this movie is head-scratchingly bad.

Strap in and sip some Wild Turkey as Shat The Movies takes a wild ride with Thelma & Louise! In this episode, the Shat Crew breaks down the iconic 1991 film that redefined the road-movie genre. We explore the unforgettable performances of Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, the feminist themes that sparked conversations for decades, and the breakout role that put Brad Pitt on the Hollywood map. Did Thelma & Louise set the gold standard for female-led action films, or is it just a crime spree in a convertible? We discuss the film's impact, its unforgettable ending, and how it holds up more than 30 years later.  Plot Summary: When two best friends, Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon), embark on a weekend road trip to escape their mundane lives, their journey takes a drastic turn. After a terrifying encounter at a roadside bar, the duo finds themselves on the run from the law, leading to a thrilling cross-country escape filled with stolen cars, unexpected romance, and a growing sense of rebellion. With the police closing in and their options dwindling, Thelma and Louise must make an impossible choice that will cement their place in cinematic history.

Film Fact: Geena Davis made history by being the first actress say, "Suck my d*ck" in a major motion picture. Yes, Geena's then-husband Renny Harlin pulled out all the stops in an effort to make a tough-as-nails action hero out of the Oscar winner. Though the film made back more than its budget, it didn't quite blow up the box office or ignite critics' hearts. So, why is this one of co-host Brian's favorite movies? As is tradition, for Brian's birthday, Christina watched a flick she's never seen before. Is Brian still smitten with this "long kiss"? Did Christina like it at all?

Stew and Smith from It Doesn't Hold Up podcast join Flixwatcher to review Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice (1988) is a fantasy horror comedy directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton as Betelgeuse, a sleazy ‘bio-exorcist', Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis as Adam and Barbara, the unfortunate couple who die and return to their house to be haunted by the new inhabitants which include Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz, a teenage goth. Beetlejuice set the tone for Tim Burton's films of the 1980s and 1990s and 2024 saw the long awaited sequel which would star a number of the original cast. Beetlejuice balances creepy horror with genuine laughs, mainly down to Keaton's sex pest antagonist and Ryder's charming Lydia (Ryder was only 15 when she filmed this!). Recommendability for Beetlejuice was pretty high, taking into account the nostalgia and also the lack of real plot. Decent scores for the remaining Flixwatcher categories give a very respectable overall score of 4.52.

The final episode in our run of throwback episodes is the one and only Geena Davis - this one went out on 9th November 2022. This is what I wrote at the time: I am obsessed with today's guest and I'm not even going to pretend otherwise. Geena Davis, the star of such seminal movies as Tootsie, Beetlejuice, Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own and the underrated classic, The Long Kiss Goodnight, TURNED UP AT MY ACTUAL HOUSE to record a witty, warm and fascinating conversation.* We talk about her feelings of imposter syndrome and self-doubt in the early days of her career, the fact that her failure as a model led to her first film role alongside Dustin Hoffman (who gave her incredible advice on how to defend herself against the amorous advances of her male co-stars) and the revelation of being diagnosed with ADD in her 40s. Along the way, we touch on height (she's 6ft! A tall woman like me!), the #MeToo movement, representation, almost becoming an Olympic archer, being an older mother and the seismic impact her friendship with Susan Sarandon had on Davis's life. I can't wait for you all to listen. *yes, she met my ginger cat Huxley and they got along famously.

In this final podcast of 2024 we conclude the December Shane Black Christmas series with a conversation about the Renny Harlin-directed The Long Kiss Goodnight. Over the course of our chat you will hear us try to make sense of the action movie landscape in 1996 and how The Long Kiss Goodnight fit or didn't fit into the changing times, Shane Black's crassness and its interplay with Harlin's innate directorial trashiness, the way Harlin needed a win after he quite literally brought down a studio and whether Geena Davis had what it takes to join the ranks of powerful female leads of the 80s and 90s. We also talk about Sam Jackson's zingers, Geena Davis' chopping skills and just how adept she was at putting on ice skates while pursuing a car. Tune in and enjoy!

In this festive episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick, Anthony, Part-Time Dan, and Elise come together to discuss the rewatchability of the action-packed holiday thriller The Long Kiss Goodnight. This year's annual Christmas movie pick brings some unconventional yuletide cheer, blending Gina Davis's fierce performance and Samuel L. Jackson's snarky wit into a perfect mix of action, intrigue, and holiday spirit. The hosts dive into whether this underrated gem deserves a place among traditional seasonal classics. Nick kicks things off by praising Geena Davis's portrayal of Samantha Caine, a suburban mom with a dark past as a highly trained assassin. He marvels at the film's seamless blend of over-the-top action sequences and heartfelt character moments, crediting director Renny Harlin's ability to keep the holiday spirit alive amidst the chaos. Anthony joins in, applauding the dynamic chemistry between Davis and Samuel L. Jackson, whose comedic timing and charisma elevate the film's enjoyment. Elise, however, provides a fresh perspective, questioning whether the movie's heavy reliance on explosive action and quippy one-liners overshadows its attempts at emotional depth. She appreciates the holiday setting but wonders if The Long Kiss Goodnight fully qualifies as a Christmas movie or simply uses the season as a backdrop. Dan, embracing his “part-time” role with gusto, injects humor into the debate by pointing out the film's most over-the-top moments, keeping the conversation lively and entertaining. The group ultimately concludes that while The Long Kiss Goodnight might not be everyone's go-to holiday watch, its mix of thrilling action, dark humor, and memorable performances make it a strong contender for rewatchability. Whether it's the high-stakes plot or the unconventional holiday vibes, the hosts agree that this film is a fun and explosive addition to any Christmas movie marathon.

This week, Sarah and Lauren take on the CIA and trans-national rapey dipsticks right along with Charly Baltimore in The Long Kiss Goodnight. This 1996 action-thriller-Christmas movie is a fountain of the most amazing lines and some incredible action and eye makeup, and the Dipperz are lacing up their spy-ce skates as Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson take on the worst villains you can imagine. This movie truly does have it all, and you're going to hear about it. Featuring: no, not Arnold Schwarzenegger, nope, not that one either, another fresh and warm batch of improvised songs, terrible, horrible men and MORE!

Ladies and gentleman, pray forgive Dave in his capacity as host this week: His rhythm was off, as he was interrupted during the Patreon segment by a restless 9-year-old. (Speaking of Patreon, we cover the Shane Black-written, Geena Davis-starring THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT. It's a fun conversation!) This week we all watched THE BRUTALIST (3:44), Brady Corbet's post-WWII epic featuring Adrien Brody as a talented architect trying to thrive in the United States while dealing with rampant antisemitism (he's a Hungarian Jew), the process of getting his wife and niece to the United States (they're stuck in Budapest), and designing and building a giant multiuse project for garbage human Guy Pearce (his character, not Guy Pearce the person, whom we've heard is lovely). We have lots to say about this complex, multilayered, truly epic film, including whether it's the best picture of the year, like many critics contend.  Then we move onto Robert Eggers' latest: His version of NOSFERATU (40:14), inspired by F.W. Murnau's 1922 classic (which was lifted from Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula"). It looks good. Its actors are committed. Lily-Rose Depp is fantastic. But is the horror movie worth watching? Does Dave want to throw Nicholas Hoult into a windowless room and toss away the key? We had three very different opinions. 

Do you remember that phase of the internet where everything was about pirates? Like everyone would mention when it's talk like a pirate day and things like that. We go a little further back before all that with Cutthroat Island(1995). A movie you'll probably see a whole lot on lists of biggest box office bombs. It and Show Girls killed the studio that made it. Geena Davis is the daughter of a pirate captain. Her dad is one of three pirates that has a map to a massive buried treasure. Her uncle pirate, Frank Langella, kills her dad in his quest for the treasure. So it's something of a race … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 232: French Cutthroat"

Can you believe it's already December?? Our annual Christmas Series will feature a few unorthodox selections, just to keep things spicy. We'll start things with a 90s cult flick that might have slipped under your radar: The Long Kiss Goodnight, starring Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. This spy action-comedy had top level stars, a premium screenwriter (Shane Black, who created the Lethal Weapon series), a veteran director (Renny Harlin, of Die Hard 2 fame), and yet it was a box office disappointment. Why was that? Has it gained a cult following since then? Most importantly: How is it as a Christmas movie?Find out the answers to all of those and more on this week's CInemavino!

**SPOILERS** for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice! (You've been warned!

Chef's do that. Welcome to Thor's newest (and dumbest named) month "Thor's BM". It is the most stressful time of the year for many of us and we are distracting ourselves with some action films from the 15 years before The Matrix set the new standard for the genre. Topics we reference include 962: A League of their Own and 1004: Predator. Next week's BM pick is Rumble in the Bronx (1995).

We recently sang the praises of Coralie Fargeat's “The Substance”, and serendipitously we recorded a conversation prior to our discussion about a film that helped inspire – we are of course talking about David Cronenberg's Sci-Fi/Horror flick “The Fly”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as they discuss the iconic performances of Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, the incredible practical makeup effects, and the overly satirical nature of Cronenberg films. Joey and Britt recommend “The Substance” this week (available on PVOD) and Adam keeps it Cronenberg with “A History of Violence” (available on most VOD platforms).

In 1943, Philip K. Wrigley (of chewing gum fame!) founded the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) in order to maintain sport and public morale during World War II, at a time when many eligible young men, including professional sportsmen, were drafted to fight overseas.Whilst A League of Their Own is a mostly fictional account of the players and founders behind the AAGPBL, it still tells a story of the real-life resilience, spirit and tenacity of the young women involved, many of whom had husbands fighting in the war, coming together to provide entertainment and boost the morale of the nation through sport, despite the sexism and misogyny of the era.Penny Marshall's 1992 movie remains my favourite, and dare I say it, the greatest sports movie of all time. A story of determination, sisterly love, sacrifice and friendship within the very real backdrop of World War II, when women could finally prove they were more than just potential housewives and mothers.Geena Davis embodies the 40s starlet as the statuesque, seemingly perfect Dottie Hinson. Tom Hanks, playing against type as alcoholic ex-player-turned-manager Jimmy Dugan delivers most of the movie's iconic lines. Lori Petty as Kit Keller, just wants to step out of her older sister's perfect shadow and Madonna, in probably one of her most beloved screen roles, as "All The Way" Mae Mordabito, with a great on-screen comedic partnership with Rosie O'Donnell's brash Doris Murphy.Even though the real AAGPBL was dismantled in 1954, its legacy lives on in this movie. It encapsulates a time in recent history that not many are still alive to tell the story of. Sadly, Mary Pratt, the last remaining member of that inaugural 1943 Rockford Peaches roster, passed away just before this episode was (originally) released. She lived to 101 and spent her life championing women's sport.These women were inspirational, trail-blazing, legacy-creating and really were in a league of their own.Episode originally released 14th May 2020Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget wake up on a beach in New Jersey as they re-watch the could-be-considered-Christmas-movie: The Long Kiss Goodnight! It's a movie all about how all of those government conspiracy theories ARE true and when in doubt just drive off to Canada! Come along as we meet Samantha, a 90's woman with amnesia who gets her memory back through some good old fashioned boob grabs that lead to car crashes - all casual! Alongside her private investigator Mitch, Samantha begins to regain her lost memory, becomes her former self again (named Charly), all while viciously murdering literally so many people. Oh there's also a terrorist subplot that involves chemical warfare, child kidnapping, and messing up Niagra Falls... It sounds like it doesn't make sense but we promise it all comes together when ya watch it! We've got fuzzy hats, great one liners, and gun galore in this, as Bridget would say: "female version of Die Hard". Released in 1996, it stars Geena Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, Yvonne Zima, Craig Bierko, Brian Cox, and David Morse.

Pappy, Josh, Brett, Kylo and Mikey discuss Jeff Goldblum's body a lot. Thanks for the request, Film Dylan @cinestudy ****** When scientist Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) completes his teleportation device, he decides to test its abilities on himself. Unbeknownst to him, a housefly slips in during the process, leading to a merger of man and insect. Initially, Brundle appears to have undergone a successful teleportation, but the fly's cells begin to take over his body. As he becomes increasingly fly-like, Brundle's girlfriend (Geena Davis) is horrified as the person she once loved deteriorates into a monster. Release date: January 1, 1986 (USA) Director: David Cronenberg Story by: George Langelaan Distributed by: 20th Century Studios, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures Adapted from: The Fly Budget: $9–15 million

This week on The Video Store Podcast, we're diving into some adventurous waters with four pirate films you might not have rented yet, but are worth a look. These films span decades, showing how Hollywood has captured the allure of swashbuckling adventures over time. Whether you're a fan of classic Hollywood, musicals, or big-budget ‘90s action, I've picked a lineup that I think captures the spirit of the genre in different ways.Here's what's on this episode:Captain Blood (1935)If you're curious about Errol Flynn's big break, Captain Blood is the film to watch. Directed by Michael Curtiz, who later went on to make Casablanca, this movie was released during the Golden Age of Hollywood and set the standard for pirate films to come. In it, Flynn plays Dr. Peter Blood, an Irish physician turned reluctant pirate, a role that became iconic for him. Olivia de Havilland co-stars, marking the first of eight films they'd appear in together. The movie was actually adapted from Rafael Sabatini's 1922 novel, and what's interesting is that Flynn wasn't the studio's first choice. Warner Bros. originally wanted Robert Donat, but when he turned it down, they took a chance on Flynn, who was then unknown. The film went on to be a hit, and Flynn's career took off from there.Treasure Island (1950) Disney's first fully live-action film was Treasure Island, adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel. This film captures the heart of the classic pirate tale with Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins and Robert Newton as the unforgettable Long John Silver. Newton's portrayal of Silver is what many credit with shaping the “pirate accent” we recognize today, especially that exaggerated “Arrr.” For a lot of people, myself included, this is the definitive version of Treasure Island, so it's a must-watch for anyone wanting a straightforward adaptation of the classic tale.The Pirate Movie (1982)The Pirate Movie is very different from the last two films. It is more of a campy, musical rom-com take on The Pirates of Penzance. If you're looking for a quirky, offbeat experience, this film, starring Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins, is definitely that. Though critics weren't fond of it when it was released, it's gained a bit of a cult following since then. One interesting thing about this movie is that it openly riffs on the Gilbert and Sullivan opera it's based on, adding a lot of modern (for the time) references. It's worth a watch if you're into musicals and don't mind a less traditional approach to a pirate story.Cutthroat Island (1995)Last up is Cutthroat Island, an ambitious, big-budget adventure directed by Renny Harlin and starring Geena Davis and Matthew Modine. Known mostly for being a notorious box office bomb, it has gained some appreciation over the years for its impressive stunt work, practical effects, and for putting a female pirate in the lead. Davis plays Morgan Adams, a captain on a quest to find hidden treasure. While the film's financial failure might have overshadowed its merits at the time, there's a lot to admire. It's also one of the last pirate movies before Pirates of the Caribbean would revive the genre nearly a decade later. If you're ready for a bit of pirate escapism, these four movies offer different takes on the genre, from classic Hollywood adventure to musical satire to large-scale nineties action. Listen to the show to hear a little more about each film and why they're worth watching, and maybe even renting, this week. This is a public episode.

There's a moment in The Fly (1986) in which Seth Brundle–well into his transformation into Brundlefly–explains that he must vomit on a donut before eating it. The camera cuts away to show Geena Davis's reaction, which is the same reaction David Cronenberg evokes in his viewers throughout the film. Grotesque yet surprisingly moving, The Fly is more than disturbing, wonderful makeup: it's a look at a brilliant man who cannot understand the limits of his own vision, like his colleagues Drs. Faustus, Jekyll, and Frankenstien. Interested in hearing what Cronenberg himself has to say about The Fly and his other films? Check out this collection of interviews.

Book Vs. Movie: The FlyThe 1957 Short Story Vs. the 1986 MovieThe Margos feature The Fly this month with special guest Patrick Bromley, who hosts the excellent F This Movie podcast. The 1957 short story and the 1986 film share the core premise of a scientist merging with a fly during a teleportation experiment, but they have different approaches. George Langelaan's story focuses on the emotional and ethical fallout, depicting science as perilous when unchecked. David Cronenberg's adaptation emphasizes the grotesque consequences of scientific overreach, blending body horror with a profound sense of loss.Langelaan's story explores guilt, tragedy, and the limits of science, while Cronenberg's film focuses on the horror of losing one's humanity physically and mentally. Both versions are haunting, but Cronenberg's film expands the original premise into a deeply personal horror, highlighting the darker sides of human ambition.
