EPISODE #439-- Sorry. It's been a weird 2024. It's been a weirder 2025. I won't apologize. Anyways, here's our Top 10 films of 2024. There's some pretty crazy overlap here! Check it out. Get excited. Almost none of our stuff is nominated for Oscars, which is a pretty fun side effect of being completely out of the loop when it comes to cinema!

EPISODE #438-- After a long holiday hiatus we are back to talk about the romantic dark fantasy FLESH + BLOOD (1986) from Paul Verhoven, staring Rutger Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Is it a great movie? No. Is it good? Kinda. What's important, though, is that we are very funny and talented and have a good time making a meal of a very messy movie.

We also talk about the importance of Pluto TV, the mini-series SAY NOTHING (2024) on Hulu, Disney+'s STAR WARS: SKELETON CREW (2024), the Paul Schrader-penned vetsploitation ROLLING THUNDER (1977), and TOKYO OLYMPIAD (1965). A big week. A big episode.

EPISODE #434-- Cruz and James go back to Canon Films with ground zero for the 80's ninja explosion Revenge of the Ninja (1983). It's a good one. . . the episode, not the movie. . . actually, the movie is pretty good, too. It fits right in there, you know?

We also talk about the Kollywood film JAILER (2023), the anime GHOST CAT ANZU (2024), and the classic film noir EXPERIMENT IN TERROR (1962). Lots of different movies. Pretty wide spread of flicks here on the show.

EPISODE #436-- Cruz and James return to the past with the classic musical/mania movie, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1963). It's the first and best movie of The Beatles. We talk rock n' roll, the 1960's, and Paul's terrible little ditties, among other things. It's a good one.

We also talk the Miyazaki two-fer THE BOY AND THE HERON (2023) and MIYAZAKI AND THE HERON (2024), as well as Paul Schrader's 1984 masterpiece MISHIMA: A LIFE IN FOUR CHAPTERS and THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (2022). Real mixed batch of movies here, but they're all pretty good.

EPISODE #435-- We return to the age of Napoleon with Ridley Scott's debut picture THE DUELLISTS (1977). It's a great little movie about everything wrong with men, France, and upper class society. Also: Lots of swords.

We also talk about Kiyoshi Kurosawa's PULSE (2001), the Tamil film THUPAKKI (2012) (featuring Vijay), KWAIDAN (1964), as well as SATURDAY NIGHT (2024), LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (2024), and the BBC's GHOST WATCH (1992). Lots of good stuff this week.

EPISODE #432: Thanks to the Criterion Channel, we finally visit one of the great cult horror films of all time: TETSUO: THE IRON MAN (1989) from writer/director/editor/photographer Shinya Tsukamoto. It's a little bit ULTRA Q and a little bit NEUROMANCER and a whole lot of grotesque confusion. It's great. Go check it out now.

We also talk about Anderson's MAGNOLIA (1999) again, SLOW HORSES Season 4 on Apple+, as well as THE SUBSTANCE (2024), Tarsem's THE FALL (2006), Verhoven's TOTAL RECALL (1990), and Miyazaki's HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE (2004). Lots of good stuff from Beyond Fest and others. Cinema is all aroun you, folks!
