Bestest Movie Ever

It's a family affair this week on Bestest Movie Ever. Two generations meet at the podcast table to discuss the original 1980 Cinderella story: Caddyshack. Join part of the gang and two special guests as we try to get to the bottom of whether or not Caddyshack holds up a scant 37 years after its release. Comedy will be discussed, CBS procedurals will be cross-examined, and at least one dog farts. So you've got that going for you.

Five hosts, one movie. Each with different recollections and interpretations. Who do you believe? On this episode the team dives into Akira Kurosawa's legendary film: Rashomon. Join us on a process of memory, of storytelling, and of lists as we one by one decide if Rashomon is the Bestest Movie Ever. Laughs will be had, animes will be recapped, and Toshiros will be Mifuned. It's human to lie, most of the time we can't even be honest with ourselves.

In a desperate attempt to beat the heat the team hunkered down to do a rare Bestest/Worstest double feature about the coldest monsters of all: vampires. On the bestest side: Interview With The Vampire. On the worstest side: Dracula Untold. Are these two films, twenty years apart in age, also worlds apart in quality? Join us on a journey into the very depths of our souls and our psyches, as we share our dark gifts with you. Jobs will be counted, boys will be kissed, and wives will be fridged in this very special episode. Sometimes being so wrong feels so right, and there's a lot wrong in this episode, dear listeners.

You wake up in a hotel room, it's just an anonymous hotel room. You check the drawers, there's nothing, but you-- oh wait, there's a iPod here, what's on it? To celebrate the release of Dunkirk we decide to take a look back at Christopher Nolan's breakout hit: Memento. Join us on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery and self-forgetting. Sandwiches will be reviewed, stories will be told, and Nickels will be backed! This episode is brought to you by subwayfoodblog.tumblr.com

On this episode of Bestest Movie Ever we take a nice winter retreat to the Overlook Hotel for a discussion of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. What whacky hijinks might ensue when four friends lock themselves in an empty hotel for several months? Join us on an emotional rollercoaster where famous authors are called out, children's television gets analyzed, and one Seinfeld creator gets his comeuppance. Come and play with us.

When the blood moon rises and Mercury finds its way into retrograde, something Worstest happens. Don't adjust your set, this is Bestest Movie Ever. Submitted for your approval: a comic book film so reviled that its creator swears off Hollywood forever, along with the sweet sweet residuals that come with it. A film so terrible that its lead retired from acting after 5 decades of success. Join us for a frank discussion of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Laughs will be had, plot details will be forgotten, audio will have errors. Bomb voyage.

It's a strange world, and the universe has provided us with an opportunity to gain a new understanding by watching David Lynch's Blue Velvet. Closets will be hidden in, impressions will be made, and Twin Peaks will be discussed. So crack open a Heineken and join us on this journey to the Blue Lodge.

Summer's here, and what better way to celebrate than by taking a trip to spooky Antarctica. Join us for some spooky paranoia time as we dive deep into John Carpenter's The Thing. Identities will be questioned, guests will be introduced, and Andy tries to tell a joke.

Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs. To close out this garbage year and celebrate the life and work of Alan Rickman, the gang takes a look at his first ever film: Die Hard. Join us on a Yuletide journey of discovery as half the group learns about the true spirit of Christmas through the greatest Christmas film ever made. Laughs will be had, sequels will be pitched. Yippee Ki Yay Mother...you get the idea.

A very long week culminates in an unexpected deep dive in the 1990 adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic "The Witches." Join the crew as they come out of the closet for a series of necessary digressions and examinations of all things witchlike and targeted at children. Does The Witches stack up to Kaitlin's fond memories? Is Boo! A Madea Halloween worth seeing? And what is the actual greatest movie of all time? Some of these questions will be answered on Bestest Movie Ever. *This is a re-upload after we had a very spooky audio glitch!
