Christina Ricci returns, Hunter (The Hyde) breaks loose, Nevermore VS Boy Scouts, & MORE!! Greg, Aaron, & John react to the chilling return of Wednesday Season 2 Episodes 1 & 2 on Netflix! After surviving the Hyde attacks and saving Nevermore, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) returns to school for her second year—but now she's a reluctant hero with a terrifying psychic vision of Enid's (Emma Myers) death, and a brutal new mystery begins to unfold. From a new villain called “The Scalper” (Haley Joel Osment) to a summer flashback in Kansas City, episodes 1 & 2 kick off Season 2 with eerie murders, twisted humor, and the Addams family in full force. We break down every chilling twist, hidden Easter egg, and new character introduction—including Steve Buscemi as Principal Barry Dort, Billie Piper as music teacher Isadora Capri, Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Rachael Fairburn, and the surprise debut of Grandmama Frump (Joanna Lumley). Plus, we explore how the show ditches romance this season in favor of deeper family dynamics, psychological horror, and supernatural lore. Season 2 was filmed in Ireland, giving Nevermore Academy a gothic European aesthetic—and it's visually STUNNING. Join us as we react, break down, and theorize where Season 2 might be headed, including ties to the mysterious new teachers, strange dolls, and shadowy rituals teased in these opening chapters.

As we continue or Summer of Sam, we bring in Sam Elliott and finally rolling into the lanes of one of cinema's most beloved cult classics: The Big Lebowski. Starring Jeff Bridges as the effortlessly iconic “The Dude,” John Goodman as the unhinged Vietnam vet Walter, Steve Buscemi as the soft-spoken Donny, Julianne Moore as the enigmatic Maude, and John Turturro as the unforgettable Jesus Quintana, this 1998 Coen Brothers comedy had us laughing, quoting, and marveling at how well it still holds up. Whether it's the surreal dream sequences, the endlessly quotable dialogue, or the offbeat charm of every character, The Big Lebowski remains as fresh and funny as ever.Revisiting this film felt less like watching a movie and more like hanging out with old friends. The humor has aged beautifully—if anything, it's even sharper now that we're older and more attuned to its satirical brilliance. With a supporting cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, and David Huddleston, the film continues to deliver unexpected laughs and layered performances. The Dude abides, and so do we. Join us for a nostalgic, hilarious, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about what makes this film a true masterpiece of modern comedy.Stick around for a round of Trivia after the conversation.Safe bowling, dudes.

The least-well-known title we'll be covering in this month of mirth-filled movies is Tom Di Cillo's sharp satire about the stresses of independent filmmaking. But those who aren't aware of it should know that Living In Oblivion will bust some guts. Steve Buscemi and Catherine Keener are terrific in the lead roles as the director and his temperamental star, but James Le Gros hilariously steals the show, essentially playing Brad Pitt. As we analyzed this story filled with compromises and dream sequences, we were able to talk about our own backgrounds in the media. So slip your screenplay to the star who's slumming on your set while others fantasize about slinging crappy burgers at a dive diner (and eating them) as the 677th edition of Have You Ever Seen spends time Living In Oblivion.

Send us a textIt's easy to say Con Air is a terrible movie. So we do. We say it a lot of times.Thankfully its so full of stereotypes, overused tropes, and bile it makes for a great podcast. In this week's special re-issue episode you get to listen to the boys really struggle to comprehend how this movie got made (in a fun way). The first podcast episode that required overtime in order to sort everything out. Alabama Nic is in rare form and you got Malkovich doing a turn as a whacked out serial killer. Pure delight, especially when Steve Buscemi shows up trying to eat a little girl.
Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay got the whole wide world, in their hands, as they discuss 'Con Air.' Bombay opens the proceedings by telling the time he had his own flight from hell from Asia which involved being awake for 36 hours after a bender, with his arm in a sling. Then the fellas talk about one of the goofiest studio movies of the '90s, a film where Jerry Bruckheimer tapped a gun for hire to do his best Michael Bay impression, and the KY budget was record breaking as everyone glistened on screen. Nic Cage's flowing locks, and hackey inconsistent sometimes southern, sometimes Cajun accent, gets top billing, but it's an insanely stacked cast. John Malkovich chews scenery to degrees that'll make your jaw hurt, Danny Trejo is an ultra predatory latin Pepe le Pew, and Steve Buscemi is a poetic psychopath who wears heads for hats. Meanwhile, approximately 58% of the plot revolves around Cage's Poe securing insulin for his friend. None of it makes sense, but it ends with not one, but two wild crash scenes that tear up the majority of the Las Vegas strip. Whether you love the movie or find it overly cartoonish you'll want to tune in for this episode ... "or the bunny gets it."
Yes, we're in sequel mode but that doesn't mean just the film we're watching, we're also looking at the new Jurassic World and James Gunn's new take on Superman, so you know there's talk of Krypto abound. Johnny attempts to remember anything about the second Spy Kids movie and, in failing, discovers through watching whatever was even in The Island Of Lost Dreams (spoilers, it's Steve Buscemi and CG animals).

In this week's episode of Seismic Cinema, we're going back to where the madness began—Quentin Tarantino's gritty, blood-soaked debut, Reservoir Dogs. From razor-sharp dialogue to that infamous ear scene, we dive into what made this low-budget crime caper a cult classic!We unpack Tarantino's non linear storytelling, debate which color-coded criminal we'd want (or not want) in a heist crew, and whether Steve Buscemi was right to skip the tip!
On a smoky new episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we're slamming java and puffing darts with Jim Jarmusch in the all-star black and white anthology film COFFEE AND CIGARETTES. Spun off from a series of previous caffeine-drenched shorts (several of which are included here) from as early as the mid-80s, you get interesting collections of actors and musicians (RZA & GZA & Bill Murray! Steve Coogan and Alfred Molina! The White Stripes! Cate Blanchett!) pontificating about a variety of subjects while downing the titular combo. It's all good fun, and you get to hear us talk about it, along with the latest Steve Buscemi news. Enjoy! The post Episode 279 – How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? – Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.
This week on The Video Store Podcast, I'm recommending four films that are all about films and filmmaking in one way or another. Some are about the industry. Some about obsession with its product. All are worth watching.The Stunt Man (1980) – Directed by Richard Rush. This film took nearly a decade to get made. It's about a fugitive who ends up working as a stuntman on a chaotic film set. Peter O'Toole plays the eccentric director. The film is known for how it blurs the line between what's real and what's staged, both for the characters and the viewer. Rush was nominated for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Steve Railsback, who plays the lead, had previously portrayed Charles Manson in Helter Skelter, and that performance had followed him around.Fade to Black (1980) – A psychological thriller directed by Vernon Zimmerman. Not so much about the industry behind-the scenes, but instead about its effect on the other side of the camera. Dennis Christopher plays a movie-obsessed loner who starts acting out scenes from classic films in real life. A lot of people missed this when it came out, but it has a cult following now. It's set in Los Angeles and uses that setting in a way that feels grimy and off. Mickey Rourke appears in a small early role. Quentin Tarantino has mentioned this film as an influence.The Big Picture (1989) – A comedy directed by Christopher Guest. Kevin Bacon plays a young filmmaker who finds early success, then quickly loses control of his career. Martin Short plays his agent in a way that's deliberately over-the-top. The script was co-written by Michael McKean and also includes appearances by John Cleese and Teri Hatcher. It's one of those movies that shows how studio notes and industry pressure can take a decent idea and ruin it.Living in Oblivion (1995) – Directed by Tom DiCillo whose name I butcher, my apologies. This one's about a small indie film production falling apart. Steve Buscemi plays the director. It's shot in black and white and color, dividing dream sequences from the rest. Catherine Keener and Dermot Mulroney are also in it. DiCillo based a lot of the script on his own frustrations making his first feature. James Le Gros plays a difficult actor who many assumed was based on Brad Pitt, who had worked with DiCillo before. DiCillo has denied it, but the rumor stuck. Also a great role from a future Game of Thrones star.Each of these films looks at films and filmmaking from a different angle. They're also all lesser-known films, some not widely seen, but worth your time.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

We're diving headfirst into high-flying mayhem with Con Air, a chaotic symphony of explosions, one-liners, and mid-air madness—handpicked by our awesome Patreon supporter Susan from the Geek Girl Soup podcast!Con Air (1997) was born out of the mid-90s action movie boom, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer riding high from previous hits like The Rock and Crimson Tide. Wanting to blend testosterone-fueled chaos with a high-concept premise, Bruckheimer and the team crafted a story about a maximum-security prisoner transport gone wildly off the rails. The script, written by Scott Rosenberg, was inspired in part by a real federal program, but the film quickly ditched realism in favor of bombast and explosions. Simon West, a former music video director making his feature debut, was brought on to direct, bringing a flashy style that matched Bruckheimer's over-the-top vision.The production faced major challenges, especially with the practical effects and large set pieces involving planes, crashes, and convicts with very short fuses. Shot primarily in Utah and Nevada, including sequences at the infamous "Boneyard" in the Mojave Desert, the film used a combination of real aircraft, full-scale models, and miniature effects. Despite the logistical headaches, Con Air brought together a ludicrously stacked cast including Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, and Ving Rhames. Cage famously trained with DEA agents and adopted a Southern accent for his role — choices that added to the movie's now-iconic (and deeply memeable) legacy. If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesbackTrailer Guy Plot SummaryIn a world where justice is served on wings of chaos, Con Air follows newly paroled Army Ranger Cameron Poe, who just wants to get home to his wife and daughter—but finds himself trapped on a high-security prisoner transport flight hijacked by some of the most dangerous criminals in America. With time running out and a plane full of maniacs soaring toward disaster, Poe must fight from the inside to stop the carnage, clear his name, and maybe deliver a heartfelt bunny rabbit along the way. Buckle up—this flight's going down in action-packed, slow-mo glory.thevhsstrikesback@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback

This week we're dusting off our ruffled shirts and setting our time machines to the 1980s as we revisit The Wedding Singer (1998), a rom-com that's equal parts sweet, silly, and synth-soaked.Directed by Frank Coraci and starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, this nostalgic crowd-pleaser finds Sandler in perhaps his most charming role as Robbie Hart, a down-on-his-luck wedding singer trying to recover from heartbreak. After being jilted at the altar, Robbie befriends Julia (Barrymore), a waitress engaged to a Grade-A sleazeball, and the two strike up a will-they-won't-they friendship filled with awkward moments, big hair, and a killer retro soundtrack.The Wedding Singer balances slapstick with sincerity and is elevated by the natural chemistry between its leads. Barrymore's sweetness softens Sandler's usual chaos, making for a genuinely endearing romantic pairing. And let's not forget Christine Taylor, Steve Buscemi's brilliant drunken best man speech, and Billy Idol playing himself in one of the most gloriously absurd plane-based finales ever filmed.The movie also serves as a love letter to the 1980s, cramming in everything from breakdancing to New Wave fashion to Wall Street-era villainy. It's unashamedly sentimental, but also knowingly daft—like a mixtape of cheesy love songs and punchy jokes that somehow hits all the right notes.Whether you grew up in the ‘80s or just wish you had, The Wedding Singer delivers that warm, fuzzy vibe that makes it ideal for rewatching with mates—or maybe even at a wedding.

MOVING ON INTO MOVIENEWS:Freddie Prinze Jr. andJennifer Love Hewitt are in the trailer for the new "IKnow What You Did Last Summer" sequel. A Toys“R”Us themedlive-action film is happening. Creators of the movie say, “The film, which isin early development, aims to capture that childhood wonder in a modern, fast-pacedadventure that taps into the Toys“R”Us brand's relevance across its more than70 years in the toy industry Some "BigLebowski" fans believe that Donnie, the character played by SteveBuscemi, wasn't real, but was all in the mind of Walter, who was played by JohnGoodman. It's kind of a flimsy theory, but the Dude himself isn't ready towrite it off. During a recent screening, Jeff Bridges said, quote, "The last few times I've seenthe movie, I've run that theme, and it kind of works, man. Because the Dudenever . . . only one time does he ever acknowledge Donnie. Just a 'Thankyou, Donnie.'"

Happy Hump Day, yo! Slight chance of some rain today…but it looks more likely tomorrow. In the news this morning, the latest on the Pope, including the possibility that the next Pope could be an American. Plus, the FDA announces a ban on a food dye, certain Walmarts are locking up steaks again, former MN Senator Eichorn plead "not guilty", and a lottery official in Texas has resigned after multiple investigations. In sports, the Brewers cruised to a win over the Giants last night, the Bucks lost again to the Pacers, and a look at the rest of the NBA & NHL scoreboards from last night's games. Elsewhere in sports, the upcoming schedule for the playoffs in the NBA and NHL, the NFL draft gets underway tomorrow night from Green Bay, and TCU & UNC are playing the 2026 season opener in Ireland. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and had an interesting conversation about Steve Buscemi's character from "The Big Lebowski". In case you were unaware, he gets killed in the movie…and speaking of character deaths, we also discussed a list of the most shocking TV character deaths of all time. Remember Buford the dog from last week? He helped save a toddler that wandered several miles away from home. Well…he's getting showered with gifts by people from all over. And in other dog-related news, a bunch of firefighters in North Carolina were called-in to rescue a puppy that had fallen into a storm drain. Not ground-breaking news, but older people keep a running tab on things that they think the younger generation cannot or will not do…including some common skills that they think Gen-Z lacks. Today is "Administrative Professionals Day", so if you've got a dedicated & hard-working person in your office, make sure you thank them today! It's also "World Book Day", so we looked at the results of a study about our reading habits. Did you see the seagull at the Cubs game on Easter? Looks like the Lord blessed the bird with a mouth-ful of wiener. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan that attacked an 11 year-old who he accused of egging his apartment, a couple of brothers that got arrested and are being charged with child porn & sex with a cow, a man in Texas who killed his own mother while trying to perform an exorcism on her, and a postal worker in #Florida who stopped at a house party while on her route.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After passing off the reins of Veep, Armando Iannucci returned to movie screens with another political satire.

Dear Humans, Karan Soni once played My assistant on Miracle Workers. Now instead of pretending with Steve Buscemi, he's talking to the real thing. We talked about his new film, A Nice Indian Boy, and what it means to navigate family, culture, and identity in a country that feels like it's falling apart. We also touched on tariffs, current events, and how anyone is supposed to stay joyful when everything around them is burning. It's funny. It's thoughtful. It might be the calmest thing I've published all week. Take a breath. Press play.

Operating in direct opposition to the never ending barrage of anonymous content being foisted on us by algorithmic goose-steppers — the film programmers of today are cultural rebels and excavationists entrusted with the sacred duty of helping you find your new favorite movie. The best ones even manage to turn it into an art. And Jim Healy —director of programming for the Cinematheque at the University of Madison-Wisconsin— is definitely one of the best. On this episode we talk to Jim about the upcoming 2025 Wisconsin Film Festival, 16mm, The Clash on “Fridays”, Argentinean noir, David Koepp and “Apartment Zero”, George & Linda Eastman, Steve Buscemi, Richard Widmark, working with Ben, Jim's brother Pat, “Conan The Barbarian”, the filthy mouth of Groucho Marx, and we pick the best movies about movies. Oh, yeah. It's about to get real nerdy up in here. Gabe's gonna have to wait.

Generation Z, which was born between the late 1990s and the early 2010s, has a unique economic, political, and cultural identity. In the 2024 election, Gen Z shifted strongly to the right. They are less likely than any previous generation to expect they'll achieve the American Dream. Most of Gen Z graduated into a pandemic economy or entered high school during the school shutdown years.They have record-high rates of anxiety. They use their phone ... a lot. Defined by the forces of scarcity, phone-driven media, and global crisis, they are different. And their differences will drive the future of U.S. economics, politics, and culture. Today's guest Kyla Scanlon is 27 years old, making her an older Gen Z representative. As a financial commentator on TikTok, Instagram, and Substack, she's coined several terms—like the vibecession—that have made their way into the New York Times and federal economic reports. For a long time, I wanted to have a conversation about young people that doesn't make me subject to a bunch of Reddit memes of Steve Buscemi holding the skateboard asking, “how do you do, fellow kids?” I wanted to get somebody smart, who was a member of Gen Z, and who also had conducted their own surveys of Gen Z. I'm very honored to have Kyla tell me about how young people today think and what they want. If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.

With only their third feature film (following Blood Simple & Raising Arizona), The Coen Brothers (Joel & Ethan) delivered one of the most unique crime dramas of its era...or any era. This neo-noir takes place during the Prohibition Era in an unidentified American city which is currently enmeshed in an ongoing war between two rival criminal organizations, one lead by Leo (Albert Finney) and the other lead by Johnny Caspar (Jon Polito). Leo's main advisor and most trusted lieutenant is Tom (Gabriel Byrne) whose fears and machinations are at the core of this story. And through Tom, we get to encounter a variety of colorful characters including Verna (Marcia Gay Harden), The Dane (JE Freeman), Bernie (John Turturro), Mink (Steve Buscemi) and so many others who are each on one side of this burgeoning conflict. However the story is not what stands out most about this enduring cult classic....it's the inventive camerawork, bravura performances, gorgeous production design, and endlessly quotable dialogue! So just in time for St. Patrick's Day, let's find out exactly what the rumpus is....

Harold and the Purple Crayon is a lovely, enduring children's classic (if you've never encountered it, have Steve Buscemi read it to you!) -- did Hollywood treat it with gentleness and respect, when they decided to use it as the jumping-off point for the movie "Harold and the Purple Crayon?"
