Indiependents, do we have a doozy for you! Does anyone say “doozy” anymore? We do, because we like the mouthfeel of it. We do promise to not say “mouthfeel” again but are so happy to present to you, a movie, more ecologically cogent than Chloe and Theo…The Hunter; a movie so controversial, Lars Von Trier reportedly fainted twice during the premiere. No, that’s not true but do we want to go to Tasmania, unironically for f**king sure! This is a film that features a more shocking bath scene than Fatal Attraction and we finally understand what “restrained” means. In this episode, we discuss the least sexy accent for talking dirty (It’s Minnesotan) Ryan shares the elation of his one win in high school; we remember the Titans; Todd takes creepy to another level; the team discusses what musicals should be made into porn (keeping the singing); Ryan takes several vicious shots at brunch culture; We admit that when we hustle hard we take that “literally” and Todd quickly considers a pedicure – before quickly dissolving into a fine Germanic powder. If you can quote every Rick Moranis line from Streets of Fire, get at us.

Well friends in film, we have managed already to appear lazy, waaaaayyyyyyy too early in Season 2. We assure you, this is not because we’re trying to do a shot for shot remake of The Wolf of Wall Street, ala Be Kind Rewind and have become addicted to either fake or real cocaine; it’s because Ryan NEEDS to do this movie and apparently he loves Bobcat – and sources say he doesn’t give a shit what his mother says. In this episode, we discuss the merits of accidentally putting on your underwear backwards; the unique pressure that comes with eating Taco Bell; Ryan accuses Art Garfunkel of having clown hair; we argue over which is worse: to be rugged, shaky or tired; we muse on how brilliant the term we came up is: Bobcatfished; and Todd finally comes to a taping with actual pants on. Why? You have to listen. Thank you for listening and for watching these absolutely amazing films. Get at us.

Hello and here we go, Friends! Chris, we’re going to get right down to it, this is THE film, so far. This is the most ALI movie yet. Westworld can suck it, ‘cause us, Wood-heads, were hip to this lead actress before she became a robot…and it also doesn’t have Michael Eklund in it; we said it. We at ALI are quickly becoming super-fans of this beautiful psycho as he makes his second appearance on the show and believe it or not…plays a worse character than he does in Poker Night? Chris, you tell us, but this dastardly delight makes this movie and everything else he touches, solid-rotten gold. In this episode, we discuss Mr. Eklund’s method-acting sweatiness in detail as well as break down the best fast-food spots to be murdered at, Todd reveals that he’s been planning for this movie’s plot for the last 16 years, Ryan admits yet another apocalyptic frailty; the boys go toe to toe on Hines v. Baryshnikov in the unsung 80’s ballet action drama, White Nights; Todd shares his one tragic interpretive dance story and Ryan finally admits why gasoline powered generators scare him. All of this and more await you and don’t say we didn’t warn you…We don’t “get” interpretive dance either. But we respect the shit out of it. Email us with photos of you doing your best interpretive dance and you may receive the same back, we guess. Thank you for listening [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #gottodance #beyondtwosouls #purpletoast #chainsawsafety

Hello friends of Independent cinema, Bobcat Goldthwait, Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Found footage and novelty food items! We’re sorry for slacking a bit lately, so (insert your favorite onomatopoeia here) we’re dropping another one for you Chris. This episode is a real thrill ride, as is the film this podcast is celebrating. We may need to start tracking this, but once again, in this episode, Todd blows Ryan’s mind on a key element of the film and there is much celebration. Todd also gets to info-gasm all over this bad boy and explodes some really meaty info, right into your willing faces and ears. This is a film that shows how divisive Sasquatch and/or Sasquatch movies can be across the Globe (what’s up Germany?) and how f**king fantastic Bobcat Goldthwait is. In this episode, we discuss Todd’s bizarre eating habits…again; Ryan doubles down on his hatred of Dawson’s Creek; we sing an excerpt of what we would like to see in “Bigfoot: The Musical”; Todd throws significant shade at the Swiss; we figure out who is on first; Todd asks Ryan our hardest hitting question yet (Porcelain?) and Ryan and Todd pledge to run off together and open a bookstore. Wander over to us at [email protected] and let us know who is your favorite, Patterson or Gimlin #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #hailtothev #thisisntsafe #pattersongimlin #1967 #daywalker

Hello friends of glorious independent cinema and to all who make it! Today we have an episode that truly defines “family”. You thought it was the Fast & Furious franchise, but this is the one. Friends, we think being a mom is hard; and leading a bunch of unruly Vikings as a stressed-out lady is EVEN HARDER. This is an episode and film that shows you women can do it all and then some; especially when you are holding a massive grudge from being subject to ordeal by water after your village succumbs to plague and your children are killed. But we get ahead of ourselves – In this episode, we discuss the hidden superpower of appropriate baldness, Ryan finally gives due credit to his childhood bullies; we ask the hard questions about leather chafing; Todd confesses to a serious loss in his life; we chat lightly about which culture does the “whole torture thing” better; Ryan weighs in on the economic ramifications of pillaging and Todd may…just may…have moved on from Olga. So, good fortune to you, Ms. Romanova and so sorry Ms. Berdal. Get at us at [email protected] and show us videos of you doing the “Walk Like and Egyptian” dance. And we double Viking hell-hound dare you to name your kids: #dagmar #signe #frigg #roar #arvid #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #getflukt #teamdagmar

Hello Andy Griffith fans. What a way to start huh? But we here at ALI are just going to assume…everyone is a fan of the late (how late?) Mr. Griffith. Welcome to Episode 3 and if Tom Berenger’s agent is worth their salt, they’ll get at us about this. Because this IS THE Berenger film people should be talking about. Platoon? A joke. Inception? Hack job. Yes, we said it. Anyway, Chris, in this episode that we lovingly call “Elmer”, we go way too far into the Paul Reuben’s scandal, Todd realizes the reason why he hates baked beans, we discuss the best human topping for a drink???; Ryan really, really misses Ginger Ale; Todd lobbies to “bring back buxom”; We completely take down the Conspiracy Theory about the movie “Conspiracy Theory”; Ryan ruins the end of the movie Shattered and we muse about the best movie featuring a character named Chocolate Mousse. Tom Berenger f**king sings in this movie people.

Hello good movie people and mostly Chris. Here we have a wonderful and fraught episode for you today, wine soaked and pissed! Or depressed. Or pissed and depressed. Pisspressed. Depissed? Either way, Paul Giamatti, true to form, evokes a new emotion in the tale of a waitress who re-discovers her love for her distant but hard-working husband, MC Gainey, in Sideways. In this episode we discuss how amazing disruptive extras can be, Ryan shares a disturbing mustache malfunction story from his time “on stage” in San Francisco, we spend way too much time digressing about the given name, Virginia, Ed Harris makes Todd really, really mad; We also nonchalantly propose the ideas that Traverse City should be the new filming Mecca for Hollywood and Thomas Hayden Church should be Mayor, who we both wonder which of us is who in the movie, Todd may have an issue with coprophagia and Ryan wants to fight Paul Giamatti’s eye. Either one. Thank you for listening to this podcast and as always, we welcome your feedback, ideas for movies to discuss and the key to Virgina Madsen’s heart.

Welcome to Season 2 Chris. We’ve been renewed by no one but our own fragile egos and here we are with open hearts and an insane desire to share wonderful films with you. We open this season with a movie that right away should have made Todd quit the show. The film, is Find Me Guilty, starring the brilliant, quaffed, indie darling, Vin Diesel. In this episode, we discover that Todd, loves Vin Diesel? We discuss why liquids always look so weird on film; Ryan shares one of his most profound childhood triumphs; we digress way too long once again about why cous cous is degrading the fabric of our country; Todd almost tear a hamstring trying to recreate a scene from the film; Todd, loves Vin Diesel? We wonder, what really would we do if we found Waldo; Todd, LOVES Vin Diesel? And we right and finally decide once again for all, that Todd, loves Vin Diesel…As he should. Welcome to Season 2 Chris. We love you buddy. [email protected] #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #Toddlovesvin #ilovevin #vinforthewin #callmevin #morevin #evenmorevin

Hey Chris, here is a "teaser" for Season 2 - which not unironically is also tragically out dated already. We'll see you with Episode 1 of Season 2 of A Little Independent January 1st...Or the 2nd. Not any later than the 5th or 6th probably.

Hello movie friends! We here at A Little Independent podcast have gone ahead and done what you were too afraid to ask for...We have put together a little recap episode of all of our Season 1 highlights, Chris. There were some wild rides in season one and catch phrases that have inexplicably not made it on shirts that have brought about World Peace yet. And because your doting gentlemen here at ALI grind harder than the average slob, we have each come to the recording table with a movie of our "own" featuring the best actors from season one, in each of our gilded opinions. This is a battle TO THE DEATH and no holds or scenarios are barred (a remake Todd???). Thank you for listening Chris and for being on this weird journey with us. Get at us at our unimaginably hard to read/type e-mail: [email protected] and tell us what's what. Even if your name isn't Chris.
