Intro/Outro music is “Bouncy Gypsy Beats” by John Bartmann.

We all watch the beautiful stars in our favorite films, but do we ever think about just how f***ed up Hollywood is? Join the 1001 by 1 crew for another short: this week we discuss “The Substance” and recommend 3 “Hollywood is Hell” movies. We sing the praises of the new Coralie Fargeat film before discussing our favorites films that show just how depraved and messed up the film business is.

This week we’re going to California wine country and we are NOT GOING TO DRINK ANY F**KING MERLOT! That’s right friends – we’re discussing Alexander Payne’s “Sideways”. Joey couldn’t make the trip to the vineyards this week, but Melissa St. John tagged in to help discuss the pathetic nature of the characters, Paul Giamatti’s incredible performance, and Britt’s literary corner and just how petty the author of the book was. Also, this week Adam recommends “About Schmidt” (available to rent on Amazon), Britt recommends “Il Sorpasso” (currently on The Criterion Channel), Melissa recommends “Twisters” (available on most VOD platforms), and Joey recommends “Drinking Buddies” (free on Prime, Hoopla, Tubi).

It’s been an interesting year for film thus far – particularly for genre films. One that has captured our attention that we want to shed some light on is Rose Glass’ noirish-vibe film “Love Lies Bleeding”. The 1001 by 1 crew sings the praises of this film and go on to share their 3 recommends for pulpy, sexy crime movies. It’s about to get hot, sweaty, and very violent in this episode.

This week we travel back to the 1930s: a time when people solved all their troubles withs singing a dancing, a time when iconic songs were created, and a time when blackface was used with no thought about the repercussions. We are talking about the Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers led “Swing Time”. Join the 1001 by 1 crew as they discuss the technical aspects of dance, the catchy tunes, and just how pathetic the “Pop” character is. Also, this week Adam recommends “Drop Dead Gorgeous”, Britt recommends “The Happiness of the Katakuris” (currently on Midnight Pulp), and Joey recommends “Dirty Dancing” (available for rent on most major platforms).

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).
