Jake is thrilled to welcome first time guest, long time friend Chelsi Kern on to the show for the very first time. They talk about the past, Chelsi's move to New York Citaaaaaaay, casting director stuff, and then they dive into Tootsie. How does an older film about a man in drag hold up to a modern lens? Well... that's what the episode is for!

Kurt and Nick are back on the show, and it's time to dive deep into the waters... the John Waters that is. A really specific filmmaker with a really specific brand and band of actors, how does Polyester hold up on LaserDisc? How does it hold up to modern times? And how does the Odorama scratch and sniff card hold up? Maybe a little too well... But you'll have to listen to find out!

A tall tale as old as time, your dad refuses to be open and honest with you. What happens when Tim Burton makes that movie? Well Jake and first time guest Eric are here to find out!

Super special episode this week! Jamel King joins Jake for the very first time ever on the show to talk about Selena! They chat a bit about acting and film, and then dive into this interesting biopic starring J. Lo and Edward James Olmos. How does it hold up? Is watching a movie that culminates in the loss of one of the biggest rising stars ever super sad? Yes! But find out the other stuff by listening, check it out!

Rob is back on the show, and it's time to finally tackle some good ol' John Ford! Is it as high octane as the other Earp movies? Well, actually kind of cuz it's crazy what they were putting on screen back in the day. How does an actual true classic hold up? Check it out!

It's a rare day on CTC, we are covering a documentary! And we have an amazing new guest, Brad joins us for the first time. We talk filmmaking, maybe get a little too into the weeds of it, and then documentary, and then dive into this moving portrait of a woman who has been fighting for her husband's freedom for almost two decades. Check it out!

Sammy is back on the show and it's apparently time to talk Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in drag! And how a movie from the 50's handles this. Does Billy Wilder continue his hot streak on the show, or is Some Like It Hot where it finally runs cold? Listen to find out!

We cover real classics on this show. Ones everyone remembers and that somehow Jake hasn't seen. Tommy Lee Jones. Linda Hamilton. Robert Vaughn. Nick Cassavetes. A true 80's classic that no one forgot. But for real, this is a fun, wild movie about shadow governments, sci-fi cars, high-level thieves, heists, and so much more. Adam Steele joins us for the first time ever to talk film, and also music. Go check out his music in all the places!

What's it like when Matthew McConaughey is tapped to play just a regular guy who becomes an overnight tv sensation? It's fine. Justin has never seen the movie, Jake vaguely remembers it, it's a reverse episode. Did we lost almost 40 minutes of us talking due to a tech thing? Yes! Does it matter? Not really. Maybe proof the show doesn't matter. But sometimes you just wanted to parasocially hang out with some people, hey... kind of like what this movie is about!

Jake welcomes first time guest Carolynn onto the show! This week, it's time to dive more into Hitchcock. How does it hold up to the rest of his work? Do Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman sizzle on screen? Probably, but you'll have to listen to actually find out!
