Cracker Classics episodes
- 8 to 6 Including the Commute ['80s Edition]
The movie: 9 to 5 (1980)
Time to watch this classic working movie to see if anything has really changed in 40+ years when it comes to equality and fair treatment in the workplace. Or maybe we can just take notes on the best way to keep our boss tied up.
31 min - #136 - Have Yourself Some Creepy Little Monkeys
The movie: Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)
Ian and Joshua go all wholesome and see what Judy Garland was like outside of Oz. Joshua gets a bit creeped out by some toy monkeys, and Ian hopes they really do wind up at the World's Fair.
31 min - #135 - Pilar and Her Band of Merry Men
The movie: For Whom the Bell Tolls (1948)
Joshua and Ian dive into some Hemingway and try to find the metaphor. Or at the very least, the point of any of it. Is it all just a bunch of talk to hide cowardice?
32 min - #134 - A Couple of SIC Men
The movie: Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965)
Ian and Joshua explore the world of forgotten '60s parody with this strange mix of spy flick and beach party spectacular. They also debate the weight of gold and the importance of Vincent Price.
33 min - #133 - A Rigid Milk Pyramid
The movie: A Hard Day's Night (1965)
Joshua and Ian throw on their mop-top wigs and scream at The Beatles, giving them a glimpse at what life was like on speed in the mid '60s.
32 min - Basil and the Case of the Incongruent Accents ['80s Edition]
The movie: The Great Mouse Detective (1986)
It's time for '80s Disney! Ian and Joshua discuss British stereotypes and how Americans are simply too important to tell the difference between regional accents. All while trying to solve a dastardly kidnapping.
32 min - #132 - Ian and Joshua Meet Vaudvillian Horror
The movie: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
Cracker Classics takes another jaunty jump into the Halloween-y but this one is more rib-tickling than rib-devouring. Hopefully.
33 min - #131 - Men Are From Mars, Zombies Are From Venus
The movie: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Ian and Joshua go all brain-dead and debate the origin and legitimacy of zombies.
35 min - #130 - Heaven Has a New Witch
The movie: Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971)
Joshua and Ian watch a witch in training try to stop the Nazis and ponder the parentage of the children she's been entrusted with keeping safe.
31 min - #129 - Marlon Brando's Objective Truth
The movie: Apocalypse Now (1979)
Joshua and Ian go to war again and ponder the messiness of insanity and leadership. Also tattoos.
