Was Paul Haggis' Oscar triumph, Crash, really that triumphant? Or does it just make moderate-progressive white folks feel open-minded without really challenging their worldview? 

A box-office BOMB, confusion between Kevin James and Kevin Smith, and Gerard Butler does what he does best. Join us for a conversation about Gamer (2009), a movie that gets almost everything wrong.

In this episode, we share our thoughts about Gamer, a science fiction action movie from 2009 starring Gerard Butler and Michael C. Hall, and includes a mean-ass-looking Terry Crews. This movie is hard to defend, so we spend most of our time bashing it instead. We chat about the cinematography and actor performances and pay our respects to Ludacris. "I do feel you, my giant brother." Willie breaks down the movie's plot and references a 10,000-word blog post from a guy who thinks Gamer is "as radical as reality itself." Taylor struggles with a character named Gorge and how this movie portrays gamers, and Joseph thought John Leguizamo's performance was one of the highlights. Overall, this movie does a great job of NOT delivering anything beyond surface-level action scenes, but it does have an ethanol-powered vehicle in it—so there's that science, lol. "Let's Boogie Woogie Rock & Roll!"

Here's the full transcript for this episode.

Jeffrey Wright plays an African-American author navigating the biases of the literary world, all while trying to deal with family issues. Matt & Ashley review the Oscar-nominated American Fiction in this episode.

🕶 John Carpenter's They Live opened in theatres 35 years ago, and became a No. 1 hit at the box office after the director had a string of commercial failures throughout the 80s. Despite this, the movie fell off of the box office in the week following its release, and to this day does not really get much fan fare aside from people recognizing it for the iconic faces of it's clandestine, villainous aliens... and of course the five minute fight sequence between Roddy Piper and Keith David. In any event, we are excited to be revisiting it this week, so come on in and join us for another lively conversation, where we'll also nominate which characters we think were most deserving of death for The Cherry Picker. So stick around through til the end of the episode.

"Momma don't like tattletales..." Celebrating the 35th Anniversary of John Carpenter's "They Live," the hosts discuss alternating views on whether this film deserves to hold the title of cult classic,  or is just plain overrated. 

Thank you for listening! Don't forget to rate & subscribe. New episodes bi-weekly. Also available on YouTube.

Wherein we talk about not one, but two John Carpenter movies - The Thing and They Live, based on Who Goes There by John Campbell Jr and Eight o'Clock in the Morning by Ray Nelson, respectively and we also discuss: if Impossible Burgers are Kosher, selling out your species for money, the best fight scene in cinema history, dunking on 2001 yet again, box office success via scheduling, hating on aliens for being ugly, and some other movies to check out if you liked these.

An automated transcript is available at this link

What began as a conversation where Adrian was gushing about "The Thing",  it was quickly realized that Mike had never seen it, and that Adrian had never seen John Carpenter's "They Live" So, for spooky season, the guys decided to do a John Carpenter Double Feature where they talk about both "The Thing" and "They Live".

As a life long fan of "They Live", did Mike enjoy "The Thing" more? Did Adrian enjoy "They Live" more? What are Corey's feelings and opinions on both movies? Annnd perhaps the most important question...what is up with that bass line?!

This episode we dip into the not-so-kid-friendly children's movie "Coraline." Such a good book and such a good movie. It's so creepy and is exactly like the kinds of movies we grew up with.  We honestly had no idea so many well known actors lent their voices to this project. We pair it with Melodramatic Macabre, a rich red blend that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Metacritic Score: 80/100

Movie Sync Notes: We watch "Coraline" on Amazon Prime. We start "Coraline" 4:17 into the pod, and push play on part two 1:08:02 into the pod.

Dear Grandma... Voluntarily enlist for Willem DaFriend, drama club sex eyes, and Vietnam War movie stuff that is pretty much the same as the other Vietnam War movies we've watched. The person most confused by the film this week was: Smokey Bear, seeing a young human woman come for his brand.

This week we take a second trip into the mind of the great Jordan Peele with 2022's Nope starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as siblings OJ and Em Haywood who discover on their horse ranch a strange, predatory presence. 

Costarring Steven Yeun (Glenn from The Walking Dead), the great Michael Wincott, Brandon Perea, and the excellent Keith David, this film is the third full-length film from the former member of the comedy duo Key and Peele. 

SPOILER WARNING if you have not seen this film yet because we go fully in-depth from beginning to end. If you haven't seen this film yet, check it out on Peacock and then come back for our commentary. 

Black as Night - "Vampires Like Hoes" 

Our final selection from our incomparable producer/sound editor Sierra Rein is the Blumhouse vampire flick BLACK AS NIGHT (2021). This modern day vampire tale is set in New Orleans and weaves in local legends, history & lore. 

A young and fun cast led by Asjha Cooper, Fabrizio Guido, and featuring the legendary Keith David - there is something here for the whole family! 

We hope you enjoy this fresh episode!

Heat up a copper wire and tie yourself to a couch. Dan Leo joins us again as we finish up our series on John Carpenter's The Thing.
