Send us a textThe power of a perfectly delivered line can transcend the film itself, becoming part of our shared cultural language. In this deep-dive episode, we explore cinema's most memorable quotes and why they continue to give us goosebumps decades later. From Quint's chilling warning aboard the Orca to HAL 9000's haunting final song, we dissect the context, delivery, and lasting impact of film's greatest utterances.Spielberg's masterful editing of "You're going to need a bigger boat" in Jaws demonstrates how timing transforms a simple line into cinematic history. We uncover surprising production secrets, like how the Empire Strikes Back's famous paternity reveal was kept secret even from most cast members until premiere night. The philosophical weight of Roy Batty's "tears in rain" monologue from Blade Runner leads us into a fascinating discussion about consciousness, memory, and what truly defines humanity.Beyond the quotes themselves, we explore why certain lines resonate across generations. Is it their philosophical depth? Their perfect encapsulation of a character? Or perhaps their ability to distill complex emotions into just a few words? Whether it's Rocky Balboa's wisdom about perseverance or Michael Caine's perfectly delivered "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" these lines have become shorthand for entire philosophies and attitudes.What's your favorite movie quote? Share it with us and tell us why it resonates with you. And don't forget to tune in next week when we'll tackle cinema's worst lines – the cringe-worthy dialogue that somehow made it past countless script readings and into film history for all the wrong reasons.Support the show

Ben & Rob ask ‘Citizen Kane' if he has anything relevant to say to us in the year 2025, or whether it's time to throw this Rosebud on the fire of progress. Released in 1941, ‘Citizen Kane' is widely regarded by a certain type of film fan as ‘The Greatest Movie Of All Time'; pioneering cinematic and storytelling techniques still in use today. Its director and star Orson Welles denied it being based on famed newspaper mogul W Randolph Hearst, denied the co-writer his due credit and even denied the film deserved the praise it still receives to this day. But over 80 years since its release, what could there possibly be left to talk about ‘Citizen Kane'? Does it offer insight into our contemporary lives or should we just marvel at its many ‘firsts' for the art of filmmaking? And is Ben secretly a budding billionaire?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

New episode out now! We delve into the strange dreamscape of David Lynch's 1986 film Blue Velvet. We discuss how the movie was conceived mostly through thoughts and feelings, and while it feels like a somewhat creepy nostalgia-tinted stream of consciousness, it has a fairly straightforward mystery plot after it all plays out. We reaffirm that Lynch is “still weird” and has his subversive way of examining the world, wonder which drugs were involved in making the movie, enjoy the nebulous pocket universe of a 1950s/1980s time period, and really understand how it received a polarized reception from critics and movie fans alike. We were emotionally unprepared for the film but had a good discussion debating the themes of “traumatized innocence”, misogyny, perversion, generational trauma, and men being creeps. Katy tells a story about the first time she saw Top Gun, Carrie shares a fact about a pickled ear in a jar, Maddy is a connoisseur of cute butts, and Mack gives some important tips to keep in mind when visiting Bunker Hill. We also talk about weird de-aging CGI, speculate on a Lynchian Return of the Jedi, try impressions of a famous bird, and share our favorite cheap beers. We would like to give a special thank you to Jason Henson, a friend of Carrie's, for his dossier of great information on the movie! Thank you Jason! Enjoy the episode listeners!
