With the recent box office run of “Alien: Romulus”, we decided to dig deep into scenes and movies that make us squirm. Whether it is because of body horror, tense moments, or characters not knowing when to give up – these moments stand out as the most deliciously uncomfortable.

This week we go back to the worlds of both Sci-Fi and the 1950s in the Robert Wise classic “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” Join the 1001 by 1 crew as they discuss genre tropes, if the message comes across clearly, and a poor man named Lock Martin who gets ripped on…for seemingly no reason. Does this film hold up? Tune in and fine out. Also, this week Joey recommends “10 Cloverfield Lane” (currently on Prime), Adam recommends “The Platform” (currently on Netflix), and Britt recommends “Cure” (available on most VOD platforms).

Our discussion of “The Good, the Bad, the Weird” led us down the Kim Ji-Woon path towards a brutal revenge film: “I Saw the Devil”. This prompted us to answer the question: what are films we enjoy that are hard to recommend to others? So listen in as we recommend nine unrecommendable films!

Break out the guns and strap on your diving bells because we’re talking about a spaghetti…no, wait…a kimchi western this week: “The Good, the Bad, the Weird”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as they discuss the action choreography, the comedic bits, and just how good our patron saint of the podcast Song Kang-ho is. Also, we discuss some of Kim Jee-woon’s other films and Britt lists her favorite movie jackets.

This week we pivot from talking about 12 films to 1 that is only 63 minutes: the surrealist piece by Luis Bunuel “L’Age d’Or” (or “The Age of Gold”). The 1001 by 1 crew is joined this week by Andrew Corns of The Revisionist Almanac podcast to breakdown all things Bunuel, surreal, and religious. Does this film find cohesion or is it more a series of loosely connected bits? Also, we may have set up a potential film for Season 6 (spoiler: it’s GROSS!). Plus, this week Andrew recommends Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom, Joey recommends “Love Lies Bleeding” (available on VOD), Adam recommends “Cowards Bend the Knee” (free on Kanopy), and Britt recommends “People Just Do Nothing” (available on Prime).
