Today, the guys discuss entertainment they consumed in the summer of 2024 (2:31). Asif goes first by discussing his disappointment with season 3 of ‘The Bear', and similarities to ‘House of the Dragon', ‘The Boys' and ‘Ted Lasso' Season 3. He then discusses ‘Time Bandits', ‘Deadpool and Wolverine' and ‘Love Lies Bleeding'. Asif concludes by discussing a news article about a recent apology from MMA star Ronda Roussey. Ali talks about what he watched when recovering from hernia surgery including ‘Chef', ‘Hacks' and the somewhat controversial 1994 movie ‘Leon The Professional'. He then talks about his hate for the series ‘Love', Sebastian Maniscalco's ‘Bookie' and re-watching stand up specials. Then Ali asks Asif about ‘The Yips' aka task specific dystonia (32:59). Asif talks about the history of the disease in golf as well as other sports and music. He discusses how common it is and the theory of why it develops in certain people. Asif describes how some affected people can overcome the dystonia using sensory tricks (“geste antagoniste”). He then talks about the treatment and how botulinum toxin is often used.

Our annual "Summer Surprise" series, in which our movies are chosen by an online randomizer, kicks off, with F2F's second Luc Besson. We both loved The Fifth Element, but what do we think of Besson's more grounded, earthbound, 1994 hitman action-thriller, Leon: The Professional? Remembered as the cinematic debut of a young Natalie Portman, and for an iconic, meme-generating Gary Oldman performance, as well as introducing a global audience to French star Jean Reno, the film remains highly controversial today, thirty years after its release, for elements both onscreen and off. But do those controversial elements detract from the movie, or make it more compelling? How much can and should one separate an artist's real life from the art they produce? We ponder this, and much more, as we wade into the dicey waters of discussing Leon: The Professional. Our Twitter Our Facebook Our Instagram Our YouTube Trev's Letterboxd Chris' Letterboxd

Episode 349: The Crew's having a glass of milk while watching Luc Besson's Leon: The Professional. This 90's cult classic has 2 different edits, the American cut and the 20 minute longer International version, which includes more scenes of a 12 year old girl making sexual advances to an adult man. Creepy romance aside; this film is beautiful. Cinematography and Production Design are super impressive on a $16 million budget.

CW: Sexual content, pornography, incest, violence, consent, sex work, frank discussion of human anatomy, murder, matricide, urine We conclude our coverage of 1979's Caligula with special guest Antonio Palacios of The Cultworthy Cinema Podcast! We hear more about the wild world of 5-star Amazon reviews, beg for you to sign Joe's petition to get Caligula into Kingdom Hearts instead of the one to get a 4K release of this film, allow Jack to continue his awareness campaign for Plague Dogs, explore why it's important to make sure everyone on your set is aware of and consenting to what is happening and to know when/when not to invite family to set, touch on the work of Gore Vidal (giving Joe a chance to reference The Venture Bros), look into more of Tinto Brass's history and works, get into the nitty gritty on Bob "The Gooch" Guccione and Penthouse Magazine, manifest one of Jack's Grant Morrison references to bring up The Filth, discuss the importance of extras that really stick out, pitch Santa Sangre but with sex carnies, cover some of Caligula's actual history and acknowledge the issues with that scholarship, reinforce the importance of having breakfast, briefly cover the trouble Nero got into on tour, emphasize the importance of letting artists be artists, and continue our bewilderment at the utter lack of professionalism on spy job sites in 19 CE. And, of course, we try to fix this decidedly unsexy mess of a film.
