Physical media offers a lot of pleasures this week. Do Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski feel guilty about any of them? Certainly not of Jack Nicholson's collaboration with Mike Nichols or one of their “Why Is This Not On Blu-ray” titles getting the 4K treatment. There's a little history of the nudie plus Bertolucci does a family film. An MST3K selection may not be worth all the skewering though neither was Joe Dante's snakebit summer effort from 1998. All that plus Larry Cohen's grossly satirical take on consumerism and what Beverly Hills Cop might have been like if it starred Sylvester Stallone.3:22 - Criterion (Carnal Knowledge (4K), You Can Count On Me (4K), All We Imagine as Light)21:44 - Shout!

But well over a half a century later Hollywood was still hooked on Herbert (George Wells). The Time Machine was directed by George Pal and released 1960. From the turn of the century to the beginning of a new decade my amazing guests break down the themes and influences on this mid-century steampunk precursor.

With death.Host segments: Kegel fails; brake line moral relativism; Devori knows a lot about Smokey and the Bandit; give him a cracker friend; Jeff the "guess the network" savant; Buffalo Bill?

 April 7-13, 1990 This week Ken welcomes author of super cool graphic novel Von Bach, and man behind the fanstic YouTube channel Hammered Out, owenhammer.com/hammered-out.html, Owen "The Hammer" Hammer.   Ken and Owen discuss Hammered out, ABC's reputation, Twin Peaks, the premiere of Twin Peaks, David Lynch, film criticism, media review, how the actors aren't always the best person to have insight into a show they are on, Jim Belushi, Jay Larson, Twin Peaks the Return, the 4 and a half hour Twin Peaks explained Twin Perfect YouTube video, how there IS an explanation for Twin Peaks, avoiding conspiracies, artist intent, the late 80s early 90s meta fiction trend, Animal Man, Perfect Blue, the only bad movies are boring and/or insincere, Donnie Yen, Star Wars, Rogue One, water cooler media, On the Air, people not expecting humor from David Lynch, Fire Walk with Me, mid-season replacements, Comedy Central the Comedy Channel and HA!, how Lost Highway is Lynch's criticism of Quinten Tarantino, superficial readings, missing the point, TM, Eastern Mysticism, Henry Rollins, Bill Cosby, Mad Movies, MST3k, loving Murder She Wrote so watching Twin Peaks, John Waters, Looney Tunes, The Simpsons, David Lynch bringing a cow and a marching band around to publicize Inland Empire, the 1977 Jesus of Nazareth, how Laura Palmer is self aware, murder on TV, what it means to be human, The Incredible Hulk, Alien Nation, Ken Johnson, Dobie Gillis, the lambada, Missing in Action III, America's Funniest Home Videos, Star Trek the Next Generation, pigs getting sunburned, being offended by bungee cord based sneaker ads, and the greatness of Nick at Nite. 

This is a side project called "The Wi-Files". Essentially, MST3K but crazy, off-the-wall webistes instead of B-rate sci-fi.  Dive  into Whale.to — one of the internet's OG conspiracy treasure troves. Jay Munnie, KY-Jelly, and Sean riff through unhinged political cartoons, explore the site's anti-vax stances, and even stumble into an unsolicited rant about circumcision. It's weird, it's wild, and it's the internet uncensored.

John broadcasts from L.A. and he talks about Trump confusing NISSAN with NIPPON as he was announcing a new deal to sell U.S. steel to the Japanese company Nippon. He also discusses the formal goodbye from Trump to Elon Musk as the White House silently released a perfectly timed insider leak to the NY Times about Elon's heavy drug use. Elon was presented with a large gold key by Trump, a thank you gift for his service overseeing the destruction of America's most dependable and important agencies. Musk and Trump promised DOGE will continue as a part of the administration, urging congress to codify and finally make what they are doing legal. Next, he speaks with author Judy Karofsky about her new book "Dis-Elderly Conduct" which is a personal account of unmet needs in assisted living and hospice, and aims to spark discussions about new approaches for America's aging population and family decision makers. Then finally, TV's Frank Conniff of MST3K returns to joke with John and listeners about Elon's drugs, the deaths of George Wendt and Loretta Swit, and all things Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We dive back into the Patreon Vault as another Burt I. Gordon "classic" makes it's way to the show, 1958's WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST. A sequel that lasts as long as a current day TV show episode, and the lack of exciting moments, was this the early case of leave a movie at one entry? Did the effects alone make this watchable? Mystery Science Theater 3000 did a good job at it, so let's see if we can, this week on THE MONSTER ZONE.   Watch the MST3K version on Tubi.   Mikey's socials: https://x.com/specterm91 https://instagram.com/specterm91 https://threads.net/@specterm91 Dissect That Film socials: Go to our Linktree for links to everything (Socials, merch, podcast app links, YouTube channel) https://linktr.ee/dissectthatfilm Rate and review the show wherever you listen to the show

Josh is the writer of Gyro and the Argonauts - "the totally (mostly) true story of the first “Greek Geek,” a super fanboy vineyard grape-squisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so much more to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much less to his favorite heroes (including Perseus, Heracles, and Pegasus) than he ever dreamed." “With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters, Gyro and the Argonauts is timeless fun for everyone!” – Max Brallier, sandwich expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Last Kids on Earth Josh shares the book's origin, his writing process, his journey as a creative and more. He also discusses how he was able to take his love of dad jokes, Ray Harryhausen, Douglas Adams and insert them into the book to tell a personal story that's fun for the fans of all ages.

(Spoiler Section Length - 6min 41sec)The reputation of Disney sequels is generally not great, but among them the Lion King sequel and... interquel(?) tend to be favored. They're pretty wildly different in tone, with Simba's Pride maintaining a similar tone to the first movie, going for a Romeo and Juliet thing rather than Macbeth. Lion King 1½, meanwhile, is a purposeful farce, with a MST3K style 4th-wall-breaking setup and a story that takes place in the margins of the original film. Are these two films really the best that the direct-to-DVD era of Disney sequels has to offer, and more than that, are they still worth watching today? Listen to find out!

We've got another all-timer of a B-movie that was featured in an episode of MST3K! This time, a runaway human flees cyborg and dinosaurs sent through time to track him down! Join Tom and Ryan as they talk about cheap sets, whirring motors, and what it means to lack opposable thumbs. It's our review of Future War!

These bees - they sure are deadly. Host segments: chicken troubles; too soon for Thomas Jay jokes; adept at pumping; sonnet 101; Joe taking more for the team; Jeff is a connoiseur of boob jiggling; Devori gets emotional talking about Shadowlands; the Idaho of England; so much Hannah Montana discussion.

Gunslinger comes moseying into town, taking potshots at Chris and Charlotte as they discuss Beverly Garland, Allison Hayes, Roger Corman, the Pony Express, and sex workers of the Old West.

J. Elvis Weinstein was a head writer on many shows so he knows a good joke while Jay just jokes often from character. On this show we sort out the differences. Also J. talks about his funny family. Hobbies like ice cream, bad jokes, bubble gum jokes, fortune cookies, losing money on documentaries, saving your marriage by wasting less money than your wife thinks, Mystery Science Theater,  old credits, and how jokes ruin dramas, hack jokes, improvisations, the perfect punchline, and hating Seinfeld.  Bio: J. Elvis Weinstein began his stand-up comedy career at age 15 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At 17, he was one of the founding writer/performers of "Mystery Science Theater 3000” (MST3K) as the original voice/puppeteer of robots Tom Servo and Gypsy, and the role of Dr. Lawrence Erhardt.Since moving to Los Angeles, he has worked as a writer/producer on a wide range of network TV comedy, including "Freaks and Geeks", "Malcolm and Eddie", "Dead Last", and "My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star.” He was also the Head Writer on "America's Funniest Home Videos" and "Later with Greg Kinnear".  In 2008 he reunited with his MST3K co-stars to form “Cinematic Titanic” which toured U.S. Theaters as a live show and produced 12 DVDs, now available as a box set.J. Elvis has written and directed 3 films - 2 feature documentaries (“I Need You To Kill” & “Michael Des Barres: Who Do You Want Me To Be?”) and a comedy short (“The Mediocre Samaritan”). As a performer, he continues to perform as a stand-up (releasing the album “Chunks” in 2019), co-hosts the podcast “Thought Spiral” with comedian Andy Kindler, and recently co-starred in the feature film “The Fiddling Horse” (2020).

We finally got it right! Gene Hackman IS in this movie!Host segments: MiMi culpa; don't even wanna go to the dump; we all know Jeff would make a bean joke at some point; can Gregory Peck smile?; I regret throwing my friend into the vacuum of space; Joe Don Baker with space madness?

The Flat Earth Society is alive and thriving within The Anti-Matter Minute Dimension… and we're here to suffer through it. This week, we found an actual Flat Earth podcast that takes itself way too seriously, so we're doing what any responsible podcasters would do—playing it MST3K-style and ripping it apart.But that's not all! After the roasting ‘The Anti-Globe Trotters', we take things even further with our OWN models (so step aside Copernicus!) where we create our own absurd Flat Earth models that are somehow even dumber than the real thing.So grab a drink (but keep it level) and prepare to be brainwashed by government pigeons, because this episode is flatter than a bar mat at closing time.

On today's episode I have comedy writer and comic book writer, Jordan Morris! I have been following Jordan's career for a number of years now since I first saw him on @midnight and became a fan of his comedy, and have been intrigued with his career as I followed along. It was great to finally have Jordan join me on the show to talk about how he got his start writing comedy and built his career.  I talked with Jordan about growing up and discovering comedy and the likes of Kids in the Hall and MST3K, finding community with other genre fans, getting his start into writing comedy, working on @midnight, working on the Jim Henson Company show Earth to Ned as well as Great Mythical Morning, getting his start in writing comics with his graphic novel "Bubble", which was nominated for 2 Eisner Awards, his graphic novel "Youth Group", the evolution of Archie comics and writing Chilling Adventures, writing the new "Web of Spider-Verse: New Blood", and the new "Godzilla vs. LA" comic that releases next month to support LA fire relief.  A huge Thank You to Jordan for taking the time to join me on the show. He has such a busy schedule with all of these projects and I was honored he would take the time to join me on the show.
