EPISODE 451-- To commemorate both good Star Wars and Pedro Pascal's rapid ascent to stardom, we decided to take on the 2018 indie sci-fi film, PROSPECT from Zeke Earl and Chris Caldwell.

TIME STAMPS (approximately): 19:30-- We talk briefly about WARFARE (2025). 22:00-- Raymond Chandler mentioned. 42:30-- PAPER MOON (1973) and Ryan O'Neal being a massive, abusive scumbag discussed. 48:30-- We talk about ANATOMY OF A MURDER (1959) and the origins of the "simple southern lawyer." 50:35-- Cruz recommends SOLARIS (1972). Tartovsky supremacy continues! 54:40-- James recommends THE ORDER (2024)-- the film, not the order. 56:00-- Cruz mentions CARVER HER NAME WITH PRIDE (1958) and James talks about the Leo Marks book BETWEEN SILK AND CYANIDE. 60:00-- James talks briefly about Denzel Washington's precious little coffee cups in THE EQUALIZER 3 (2023).

EPISODE #449-- We're almost there! To whet your appetite for the big 4-5-0 and to commemorate the life of leading man and weird-energy-haver, Val Kilmer, we're talking Ron Howard's WILLOW from 1988. It's not a good movie! I think it's a pretty good episode, though. You all know Willow. You know what's up. We also rap quizotically about Sidney Lumet's BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD (2007), Tony Gilroy's ANDOR, Season 1 (2022), Apple TV's THE STUDIO (2025), and Yang Fengliang and Zhang Yimou's JU DOU (1991).

EPISODE #448-- We return to the wild world of 1990's indie cinema with the sit-around-and-chat-based movie SMOKE (1995), staring Harvey Kietel, Forest Whitaker, and, like, ten other 1990's guys. It's a real who's-who of That Guys. We also chat about the documentary SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D'ETAT (2024), David Lean's LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962), DEN OF THIEVES 2: PANTERA (2025), Netflix's THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT (2020), and David Mamet's HOUSE OF GAMES (1987).

EPISODE #447-- After much hooting and hollering, we are back on the podcastin' trail with Jim Jarmusch's seminal DEAD MAN (1995) starign Gary Farmer, Robert Mitchum, and that guy from Pirates of the Caribbean. You know the one. The one with the texts. Anyways, fun movie. An important movie. We also ramble about the Oscar-winning documentary NO OTHER LAND (2024) (now available to rent and stream), BROOKLYN (2015), Michael Mann's BLACKHAT (2015), and the legacy sequel BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F (2024).

EPISODE #446-- We return from Spring Break and mark the end of Black History Month with a journey back into our BS. That's right, we're talking a Yukio Mishima adaptation from the Golden Age of Japanese Cinema. Today we're rapping about Kon Ichikawa's CONFLAGRATION (1958), a beautiful look into post-War masculinity, obsession, disability, and religion. Good episode of a great movie. We also talk about WALLACE & GROMIT: VENGEANCE MOST FOWL (2025), RUNAWAY JURY (RIP Gene Hackman), THE TERMINATOR, HBO's THE PITT, Amazon's REACHER, and another Ichikawa banger, FIRES ON THE PLAIN.

EPISODE #445-- Once more into the breech for Black History Month. Today Cruz and James attempt to understand the impressionistic, indie cult horror classic, GANJA & HESS from 1973.  We also mourn the passing of Gene Hackman, talking about THE FRENCH CONNECTION (1971), as well as Kon Ichikawa's THE BURMESE HARP (Cruz has been on an Ichikawa kick-- we can't blame him). This is also our last film fro Black History Month, so we hope we did okay by the films, if nothing else. Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

EPISODE #444-- We're talking Black History Month. We're talking Dad Cinema. That means only one thing: We're talking Mr. Denzel Washington, America's dad. Today that also means we're talking Anton Fuqua's THE EQUALIZER from 2014. It's a good one. Solid movie. Fun episode. We also talk the latest season of REACHER on Amazon, the Coen Bros' TRUE GRIT (2010), as well as A THOUSAND BLOWS (2025) on Disney+ and THE PITT (2025) on HBO Max. As always: A solid little spread.

EPISODE #443-- We continue our celebration of black cinema with the 1996 indie darling, THE WATERMELON WOMAN written, directed, and staring Cheryl Dunye. It's on the Criterion Channel and Collection, so what's your excuse for avoiding this one? Do you hate cinema? We also talk about Oscar nominated pictures WICKED: PART I (2024) and FLOW (2024) (which actually won), as well as the classic medical drama from Cinemax, THE KNICK (2015). ALSO: Sorry if we're a bit out of our element with this one, but why come to us if you want a graduate-level discussion on contemporary black and African American issues.

EPISODE #442-- We finally get around to celebrating Black History Month with the formative SET IT OFF from 1996. Directed by F. Gary Gray and staring Vivica A. Fox, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinket, and the mean doctor from Scrubs, SET IT OFF tells the story about four black women in LA pushed to their limit, who decide to start robbing banks. It's pretty fun, I don't know. We also talk about ANUJA (2024) on Netflix, Michael Mann's THIEF (1981) and MANHUNTER (1986), SAMURAI REBELLION (1967) on the Criterion Channel, PROBLEMISTA (2023), and THE KNICK on HBO Max.

EPISODE #438-- After a long holiday hiatus we are back to talk about the romantic dark fantasy FLESH + BLOOD (1986) from Paul Verhoven, staring Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Is it a great movie? No. Is it good? Kinda. What's important, though, is that we are very funny and talented and have a good time making a meal of a very messy movie. We also talk about the importance of Pluto TV, the mini-series SAY NOTHING (2024) on Hulu, Disney+'s STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW (2024), the Paul Schrader-penned vetsploitation ROLLING THUNDER (1977), and TOKYO OLYMPIAD (1965).

EPISODE #434-- Cruz and James go back to Canon Films with ground zero for the 80's ninja explosion Revenge of the Ninja (1983). It's a good one. . . the episode, not the movie. . . actually, the movie is pretty good, too. It fits right in there, you know? We also talk about the Kollywood film JAILER (2023), the anime GHOST CAT ANZU (2024), and the classic film noir EXPERIMENT IN TERROR (1962). Lots of different movies.

EPISODE #436-- Cruz and James return to the past with the classic musical/mania movie, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1963). It's the first and best movie of The Beatles. We talk rock n' roll, the 1960's, and Paul's terrible little ditties, among other things. It's a good one.  We also talk the Miyazaki two-fer THE BOY AND THE HERON (2023) and MIYAZAKI AND THE HERON (2024), as well as Paul Schrader's 1984 masterpiece MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS and THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (2022).

EPISODE #432: Thanks to the Criterion Channel, we finally visit one of the great cult horror films of all time: TETSUO: THE IRON MAN (1989) from writer/director/editor/photographer Shinya Tsukamoto. It's a little bit ULTRA Q and a little bit NEUROMANCER and a whole lot of grotesque confusion. It's great. Go check it out now.

EPISODE #431-- We start off this year's SPOOKTAGON with the Italian production CEMETERY MAN, a ridiculous, campy, grotesque journey into being so Italian and horny that you just have to start killing people. A tale as old as time. It stars Rupert Everett who, if I may say so, looks like a dish. We also chat about Gordon Douglas' THEM! (1954), David Lietch's FALL GUY (2024), and the good Paul Anderson's MAGNOLIA (1999). Some solid flicks to start off the spooking season. Sorry about the rest of this episode.

EPISODE #430-- We get away from Westerns to delve into the East. This week we're talking the seminal wuxia picture THE ONE-ARMED SWORDSMAN (1967) staring Jimmy Wang (THE MAN FROM HONG KONG) and directed by Chang Cheh (THE MAGNIFICENT TRIO). It's a classic, if imperfect movie. Watch it. Listen to us. We also talk about REDS (1981), as well as another martial arts film MONKEY MAN (2024) and LICORICE PIZZA (2021), which as very little martial arts in it at all.

EPISODE #429-- We return to the wild, wild west with Nicholas Ray's JOHNNY GUITAR from 1954. It's a good one. It's got Sterling Hayden. People love Sterling Hayden! We also talk about the lastest (French) version of THE THREE MUSKETEERS (2023) (as well as Richard Lesters' adaptations), as well as AMC's THE TERROR (2017) (now on Netflix!), Venkat Prahbu's THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME (2024), and the unfortunate TERMINATOR: ZERO (2024), which sucks an unbelievable amount of butt.

EPISODE #428-- Today we lament/celebrate the life and death of actor, pretty boy, deadbeat dad, and right-wing weirdo, Alain Delon with the pile of sludge that is RED SUN (1971). Directed by the Bond series' own Terence Young, and staring Ursula Andress, Toshiro Mifune, and Charles Bronson. This flick is an East-meets-West actioner that isn't nearly as good as all of its individual ingredients. A real bummer! We also talk about ALIEN: ROMULUS (2024), AMC's THE TERROR (2017), VEEP (2012 - 2019), and THE LAST OF SHEILA (1973), which is currently on the Criterion Channel. Lots of good movies and shows and also Red Sun. Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

EPISODE #427-- We're still talking classic oaters over here. Today we're rapping about the classic western from George Roy Hill, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID from 1969. Staring prettyboy Robert Redford and salad dressing magnate Paul Newman, this movie tells the story of the last years of America's favorite duo of wisenheimers. It also has Strother Martin, so you know it's good. We also talk CULT MASSACRE: ONE DAY IN JONESTOWN (2024), as well as Sam Peckinpah's elegiac masterwork PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID (1973), the latest incarnation of the Bat on BATMAN: CAPED CRUSADER (2024), as well as ALIEN: RESURRECTION (1997), PROMETHEUS (2012), and ALIEN: COVENANT (2017).

EPSIODE #426-- We celebrate the dusty dregs of the summer with the epochal revisionist western THE WILD BUNCH (1969). Directed by Sam Peckinpah and staring literally every "that guy!" from the 1950's and 60's, it's a psychotic shooting spree sent straight from hell. It's great. Listen to it. Go watch it. Maybe not in that order.  We also talk about Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR (2000) and, well, the Olympics (RIP). Kind of a slow week unless you just want to hear me talk about Jack Elam or whatever.

EPISODE #425-- We commemorate the 2024 Olympics with the post-9/11 feel good sports drama, MIRACLE, which tells the story of the rag tag team that beat the Soviet Union and won the gold for hockey in 1980. And, let me tell you, folks, there's more run-on sentences where that came from! On the back end, we got a ton of stone-cold cinema classics (in color!). We talk APOCALYPSE NOW (1978) (in 70mm!), as well as THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP (1943) and BLACK NARCISSUS (1947) at the Academy Museum here in LA, and, finally, LA CONFIDENTIAL, 1998's perfect marriage of James Ellroy pulp and classic Hollywood glitz.

EPISODE #423-- Happy Pride, I guess? To celebrate this most hallowed of months, Cruz and James take on the cult classic from Cammell and Roeg: PERFORMANCE (1970), starring Mick Jagger and James Fox. It's a fun one. Very few accents in this one. We talk about queer theory, British acting families, and the legacy of The Rolling Stones. We also talk about THE BIKERIDERS (2024), GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE (2004), Akira Kurosawa's underrated masterpiece, DERSU UZALA (1975). We also talk about HBO's HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, which is back and is awesome. Movies, man. They're back. Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

EPISODE #424-- We continue to celebrate Pride Month by going to. . . Canada? Huh. That can't be right. Anyways, we talk the Hitchcockian thriller THE SILENT PARTNER from Daryl Duke and Curtis Hanson, starring Elliot Gould and Christopher Plummer. It's properly sleezy-- just like us! We also talk the BAD BOYS saga (including the latest feature RIDE OR DIE), the BEVERLY HILLS COP saga (including the latest film, AXEL F), as well as the documentary GOODNIGHT, OPPY (2022), the Oscar-nominated AMERICAN FICTION (2023), MURIEL'S WEDDING (1994), and, finally, the insane and illegal RAP WORLD (2024).

EPISODE #422-- We belatedly celebrate Pride Month the only way we know how: With basic audio problems. Want to know why our SERIAL MOM (1994) sounds like this? Because somebody refused to talk into the mic, because it would "pop(?)". Note: It is not our guest, Alexis Simpson, of Drunkards and Dragons, who is always on point.  And now here we are. Anyways, this is the second John Waters film we've done. We love him. He's great. Listen to this episode. We also talk about George Miller's FURIOSA (2024), as well as CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS and THE HISTORY OF JAPAN, as well as THE HISTORY OF THE ENTIRE WORLD, I GUESS (2017). Big, weird episode.

EPISODE #421-- We (finally) get into Pride Month with Todd Hayne's mash-up punk rock/glam/whatever epic VELVET UNDERGROUND. The movie isn't very good, but it does have the decency to at least remind us of better, more relevant films. I don't know. Christian Bale is pretty good in it as a closet homosexual? Or at least failed bisexual? I don't know. The movie is kind of a mess. Also, I think Toni Collette is supposed to be doing an American accent. We also talk about Richard Linklater's HIT MAN (2024) on Netflix, Vijay's BEAST (2022), as well as the Good Paul Anderson's BOOGIE NIGHTS (1997). Some good stuff on this one.

EPISODE #420-- We get into the swining 90's with Richard Linklater's classic teen comedy/coming of age/stoner classic, DAZED AND CONFUSED.  We also rap abotu SAVED! (2004), STAX: SOULSVILLE USA (2024) on HBO Max, Alex Cox's WALKER (1987), and, finally, we talk once again about Amazon's FALLOUT (2024).

EPISODE #419-- What happens when New Hollywood meets Old Hollywood? A spree killing, apparently. And repurposed stock footage from some Roger Corman schlock (RIP). We're talking Peter Bogdonavich's TARGETS from 1968. We also talk about how a lot of old heads helped inspire the new (and also how Peter Bogdonavich was kind of a massive sack of garbage, human being-wise). We also talk about George Miller's BEYOND THUNDERDOME (1985) and FURIOSA (2024), as well as Michael Bay's own debut picture, BAD BOYS (1995). In Cruz's Cinema Corner, he talks about THE AMERICAN FRIEND by Wim Wenders and DUNE 2 from this year. Lots of good stuff. Nice little spread of cinema. Join the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

EPISODE #418-- We eschew all semblance of taste and decency to celebrate the life and death of Roger Corman (RIP) with the women-in-prison nightmare THE BIG DOLL HOUSE from 1971. It's got Pam Grier and that's about the best thing in the movie. The rest of is a fetid horrorshow of 1970's politics, exploitation aesthetics, and run of the mill schlock. It was a massive box office success. We also talk George Miller's THE ROAD WARRIOR (1981), Vera Drew's THE PEOPLE'S JOKER (2024), CAPTAIN MILLER (2024), as well as Hitchcock's THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH, along with GAMBIT and Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI.

EPISODE #417-- We return to our roots with the Hong Kong schlock fest THE SEVENTH CURSE (1986). Directed by the same maniac that made RIKI-O: THE STORY OF RICKY and staring Chow Yun Fat (barely), it's a wild one. Not quite Indiana Jones and not quite a martial arts movie. It's a melange of madness that you just have to see to believe. We also talk about the original MAD MAX (1979), Ford's THE SEARCHER (1956), LILO & STITCH (2002), Edward Zwick's THE LAST SAMURAI (2003), and, once again, we talk about Akira Kurosawa's RAN (1985).

EPISODE #416-- In this epic-length episode we take on the epic-length mini-series SHOGUN from 2024. In short: We loved it. It's a great remake of a great novel. A perfect follow-up to GAME OF THRONES. It's just what the doctor ordered. It's also great if you like to hear funny voices from loud white boys-- and I know you do.

EPISODE #415-- We return to the world of big boys with KONG X GODZILLA, the latest installment in Legendary's Monsterverse (AKA the only good cinematic universe). We do love our big boys, don't we, folks? We also talk about the continuing excellence of SHOGUN (2024), Amazon's FALLOUT (2024), Netflix's RIPLEY (2024), the documentary LUMUMBA: THE DEATH OF A PROPHET (2000), as well as Kurosawa's KAGEMUSHA (1980), Apple Plus' SLOW HORSES, and the original KING KONG.

EPISODE #414-- Just in time to commemorate the 159th anniversary of the ending of the American Civil War, we have Edward Zwick's GLORY from 1989. Staring Morgan Freeman, Matthew Broderick, Andre Braugher (RIP), and Denzel Washington, Glory tells the story of the first African-American regiment raised in the United States of America. It's great. One of the all-timers. Check it out and come back. We'll be waiting. Also: Happy Black History Month. Sorry for the delay. Real weird start of the year for us on the show. We also talk about LADY SNOWBLOOD (1971), Guilermo del Toro's PACIFIC RIM (2013), SAMURAI I: MIYAMOTO MUSASHI (1954), Johnathan Glazer's SEXY BEAST (2000), and Kurosawa's HIGH AND LOW (1963).

EPISODE #413-- We get into the grittier end of the 1990's with the neo-noir classic from Bill Duke DEEP COVER (1992). A good episode, a big episode, and the right movie to belatedly celebrate Black History Month. Hell of a film, folks. Hell of a film. We also talk about Wim Wenders' PERFECT DAYS (2023), Villenueve's DUNE PART II (2024), PAST LIVES (2023), Kurosawa's SANSHIRO SUGATA (1943), Lanthimos' POOR THINGS (2032), and Honda's RODAN (1956), and (deep breath, we're almost there), we talk about TV's SHOGUN (2024) and the finale of MASTERS OF THE AIR (2024).

ROCK 'N' ROLL from 1987, staring none other than the king of rock and roll himself, Chuck Berry. We also talk Johnathan Glazer's THE ZONE OF INTEREST (2023), Akira Kurosawa's SANJURO (1962), Alfred Hitchcock's SPELLBOUND (1948), as well as CADILLAC RECORDS (2008), DRUNKEN ANGEL (1948), and the latest version of SHOGUN (2024) on Hulu.

EPISODE #411-- We return to the 80's to celebrate a life and to commemorate Black History Month (sorry for the delay) with the pulpy actioner ACTION JACKSON (1988) from Craig R. Baxley. Importantly, though, RIP to the lengend himself, Carl Weathers (1948 - 2024). It's a good one, come listen. We also talk about RAN (1985) from Akira Kurosawa, as well as Kelly Reichardt's FIRST COW (2019), Vittorio di Sica's THE BICYCLE THIEVES (1948), and Paul Thomas Anderson's HARD EIGHT (1997).

EPISODE #410-- Cruz, fresh from the sawbones is back and ready to tackle maybe the worst dystopian sports movie the 1970's has to offer. That's right, we take on Norman Jewison's ROLLERBALL (1975).  We also handle Amazon's latest season of REACHER, Apple's MASTERS OF THE AIR, HBO's BAND OF BROTHERS, as well as Kurosawa's NO REGRETS FOR OUR YOUTH (1946), ZATOICHI: THE BLIND SWORDSMAN (1972), THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 (1974), and ROCKY (1976).

EPISODE #407-- We delve back into the sea of cr*p with Irwin Allen's lifeless disaster movie THE SWARM (1978). It's got Michael Caine yelling about bees. Trust me, the episode is much better than the movie they put out. Yeesh, what a stinker. . .  Anyways, we also talk about KING KONG VERSUS GODZILLA (1962), as well as SEVEN SAMURAI (1954), MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LAWRENCE (1985), and GODZILLA VERSUS MECHAGODZILLA 2. All of those are much superior to THE SWARM. Seriously, don't watch it. Support your local unions! UAW, SAG-AFTRA, and WGA strong! Donate to the cause at Patreon.com/Quality.

EPISODE #406-- Today we get into the holiday spirit with DEADLY GAMES from 1989 (AKA 3615 code Père Noël, Dial Code Santa Claus, Game Over, and Hide and Freak). It's a weird, ridiculous French horror film that finally made its way onto Shudder. We also talk about Kurosawa's YOJIMBO (1963) and STRAY DOGS (1949), as well as the original NIGHTMARE ALLEY (1947)-- all of which are available on the Criterion Channel.

EPISODE #405-- Stomp along with us as we take on Toho Studio's latest entry in the venerated kaiju series, GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2023). It's a good episode about a great movie.  We also talk about two other movies in theaters this week: DREAM SCENARIO (2023) and Hayao Miyazaki's THE BOY AND THE HERON (2023), as well as the Hitchcock black comedy THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY (1955).

EPISODE #404-- We finally tackle one of the great bad films. We talk about the chemically-fueled disaster that is GYMKATA from 1985. It's terrible! You gotta see it! We also talk about Gilliam's 12 MONKEYS (1996), Ridley Scott's NAPOLEON (2023), Marker's LA JETEE (1967), and Hitchcock's FOREIGN CORRESPONDANT (1941). Support your local unions!

EPISODE #403-- We get back into the world of Powell and Pressburger with the top propaganda pic of 1941: 49th PARALLEL, which stars just about everyone with a British accent at the time. A great little picture about an awful big war. We also talk about James Cameron's ALIENS (1986) and Ishiro Honda's GODZILLA (1954). Two great old monster movies. Support your local unions!

EPISODE #402-- We dip back into the world of adult fairy tales with the incredibly French film from Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet: CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, staring Ron Perlman and a whole bunch of weird looking French people. Real red letter day for good faces, folks. We also talk about IMMORTALS (2011), THE HUMAN CONDITION (1959 - 1961), THE SEVEN UPS, and DEFENDING MY LIFE on HBO Max. Support your local unions!
