Movie Meltdown - Episode 139

This week we go “off -the-rails” with ridiculous discussions that may or may not have anything to do with this week’s Sofa Theater feature: The Thing with Two Heads! Plus we wrap up with a truly heroic Marlena moment!

And while we discuss the Faulknerian exercise of having two heads, we also mention…loving cake balls, Harold and Maude, Final Destination 5, Johnny Suede, Columbo or Mannix? Kill Bill Part 1, Scream, old-time strong man, Bunny and the Bull, Jason Bateman and Ryan Renolds, W. Earl Brown, Mel Brooks, missing fairy tales, deep-fried Derby Pie, MST3K-ing your own movie, THE Siamese twins, the cop from the Village People, Tangled, a two-headed gorilla, what do mashed potatoes not go with?, Sam Rockwell, Archie Bunker, bending stuff, Joey Lawrence, Hobo with a Shotgun, a Yoda backpack, curry burrito, Cillian Murphy, hatin’ on Monk, there are rules at a tractor pull!, pistachios and bananas, Black Dynamite, why not finish out the basement?, a sideshow, Young Frankenstein, The Electric Grandmother, necksploitation, Rest Stop, Peacock, Bea Arthur, where is Lolita now?, the Wes Anderson American Express commercial, Robby looked good, being obsessed with Beauty and the Beast, being proud of Jaime Pressly, old west douche bags, singing with The Golden Girls, you black bastard, an Amish jack, a really boring, long episode of Dukes of Hazard, too much information equals a lie, a clever circus dupe, my trans-gendered neighbor, being pre-goth, the mulatto character is the loneliest character, things in jars, everybody loved Robby, Light in August, the least impressive car chase - ever, a Halloween promo-based thing, Garrett Morris is awesome!, Honey…I’m trapped under the shed again, a new sophisticated blacksploitation and the kid from “Hair” with nipple rings.

Spoiler Alert: I guess we kind of spoil “The Thing with Two Heads“…but then, the makers of the movie kind of spoiled it when they made it.

“Which one was he?? The one with the two heads?”

Can't say we didn't warn you. But then, we all know what to expect from Michael Bay, right? So John and I endured the mega-mechanical CGI onslaught of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. All 156 minutes of it. Do we really have to explain why this is such a giant chunk of Hasbro-mash, you might ask? Sure, the movie is critic proof, but it's our job. And we will not shy away from it. We might cower and squirm in pain.Beyond that, the energizing act of eviscerating a movie is fun, and Michael Bay is an easy target. This is a pretty much a giant turkey shoot.

We did however enjoy Larry Crowne, which Tom Hanks wrote, produced, directed and stars in. It's a wonderful character-driven film, with Julia Roberts delivering her best performance in years. Do see it.

For our picks of the week, John says White Lightnin', starring Edward Hogg and Carrie Fisher, is worth a look. And we both agree the Criterion Collection's release of Kiss Me Deadly (1955) is truly a must see.

We recorded this episode outdoors, sitting on a bench in Boston Common - where there happened to be some sort of Anime festival taking place; a lot of college students dressed as anime characters. And they cheered from time to time. So... our apologies for any obtrusive and/or amusing background noises. Stuff happens on the Common, you know?

Long-time e-mailer Matt Giguere joins Evan to discuss the films of Quentin Tarantino in the longest episode yet (it's still shorter than the average Tarantino movie, but still). Matt talks about kung-fu movies, Evan gets really upset about a Robert Frost poem, and they both get grossed out by feet.

With special guest star Tom Heistuman.
