Following Sara Botsford to 1982's Still of the Night proved to be a great move! Even better, we got to have Guy 5teen (aka Travis Vogt from The Suspense is Killing Us Podcast) back to talk about how awesome harmonica music is.
It seems that for those of us who grew up in the 80’s, The Secret of NIMH (1982) either conjures fond memories of a magical adventure or summons terrifying traumas of non-stop peril. The Exes and their newly minted #1 guest Travis Vogt, are solidly in the former category. Helmed by Don Bluth and completed by a team of Disney expats, this masterpiece of old-school hand-drawn animation tells a grim tale of a nameless widow mouse who, when faced with impossible choices, finds the courage to conquer insurmountable odds. Join us for an episode that includes some imminent death chuckles, a Great Owl who is DTF, and a showering of Jimmy Stewart’s tricklins, this week on Ex Rated Movies!

The legendary VERN stops by to discuss one of the greatest/craziest/most underrated movies of all time—RICOCHET. Also, we talk about two far less magnificent films. Featuring Matt Lynch, Kevin Clarke and Travis Vogt. RICOCHET (1991) dir. Russell Mulcahy FALLEN (1998) dir. Gregory Hoblit THE BONE COLLECTOR (1999) dir. Phillip Noyce
Question: if a destitute, privileged, old slut crashed at your place and drank all your liquor for five months, would you kindly endure her eccentricities or would you grind her spirit into a paste by breaking things, yelling a lot, and wiping mashed potatoes on your pants? Perhaps watching A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), which tackles this very scenario, will help you decide. Streetcar virgins Travis Vogt and Kevin Clarke join us this week as we deliberate Big Bird’s age, impersonate both young and old Marlon Brando, and reference The Simpsons until our wazoos wear out this week on Ex Rated Movies!

Grab yourself a plate of melons and a heaping cone of fagabefe because this week, for our 69th episode, we invited the fabulously talented Bettina McKelvey and Emily Shahan from Toxic Shock and the brilliantly hilarious Kevin Clarke and Travis Vogt of The Conversation Pieces podcast to join us in analyzing the bafflingly mean-spirited ensemble scavenger-race comedy, Midnight Madness (1980). Incoherent conviction, chaotic activity, and an odd inability to remember who Harold is, this week on Ex Rated Movies!
