Cinematic Alley

After a long hiatus, the bois are back with Damien Chazelle’s La La Land. Listen in as we discuss just how Chazelle utilizes color, why heartbreak in film is powerful, and who (or what) the true villain of the film is.

Another biopic starring Leonardo Dicaprio? Sign the boys up. This week, we're reviewing the story of Jordan Belfort — a film with drugs, money, more drugs, and an outlandish Jonah Hill. Perhaps one of Scorsese's best works, The Wolf of Wall Street is definitely worth discussing.

The boys are back to talk about all things they don't know — sex, drugs, and video games. Happy Madison's Grandma's Boy is a stoner comedy that helped shape the genre and showcased Jonah Hill on a woman's bosom, and it's also this week's film. This is perhaps the wildest episode yet. Enjoy!

Seven Psychopaths. Four friends sitting around a fold up table. That's right — this week it's four of us, as usual hosts are joined by a special guest and fellow cinephile, Frankie Kjellberg. Listen in as they discuss serial killers, martyrdom, and the stellar art of writing dialogue in film (Martin McDonagh gives Tarantino some serious competition). Thanks for listening.

The boys are finally back for season two of cinematic alley! This week, we're covering a horror gem that we all agree should've been nominated for an Oscar (Toni Collette, we stand with you). Listen in as we talk about possession, demons, genetics, and whatever else pops up.

This week, the boys review Inglorious Bastards. Wait, Basterds*…and Inglourious*. Join us as we take a trip down a worthy alternate history, written and directed by none other than Quentin Tarantino. Listen in as we discuss some facts about the real war, the Nazi psyche, and our love for Christoph Waltz.

The boys take a trip to future LA and dissect the ins and outs of Spike Jonze's instant classic, Her. Hear their takes on love, philosophy, and AI — oh, and crystal meth. This is a trippy one, so enjoy!

Back to the Future is regarded by many as the quintessential time travel film — including us. Here, we discuss the best parts about the 80's classic and dissect the cheesiness riddled within the plot. Also, we mention where we would most like to travel if given the opportunity. Thanks for listening, docs.

It’s been a long, long time coming, but it was well worth the wait. The boys are back after a month off, and they’re here to talk about the box office record breaker — Avengers: Endgame! Listen in as they nitpick the tiniest of details, let out their inner misogynist and talk about the laughs, chills, and tears. We love you 3000. Thanks for listening!

Are you as swooned by Ryan Gosling as we are? Well, if you haven’t seen Drive, you’re missing out on perhaps his most badass role yet. In this episode, the boys analyze Driver’s psyche, what his profession truly is, and his attachment to his neighbor. Any questions or recommendations can be sent to: [email protected]
