Cracker Classics episodes

  • #178 - Just Get Hit By a Philanthropist's Car

    The movie: Within Our Gates (1920)

    Joshua makes Ian watch the oldest surviving movie made by a Black filmmaker, with hopes that it will spark some desire to watch "Birth of a Nation." Will Ian be convinced? Are there messages in this film still relevant 100 years later? How far have we really come as a nation?

  • #177 - Grooming a Teenage Witch

    The movie: Sabrina (1954)

    Ian and Joshua watch this Billy Wilder classics and hope for a shirtless William Holden. Ian looks out for a talking black cat, while Joshua re-examines his sexuality. It's always good to check in on it from time to time.

    The movie: Hester Street (1975)

    Joshua wants to see Carol Kane in an Oscar-nominated performance, so he and Ian watch her immigrate to America to meet her husband who's been sleeping around. Was it worth the find? Will they want to call a taxi halfway through?

  • #175 - Groucho-ing All Over the Place

    The movie: A Night At the Opera (1934)

    It's been a while since Ian and Joshua have watched some Marx Brothers, so they class things up by taking in a bit of high society, and a crowded stateroom.

  • #174 - Spock Ex Machina

    The movie: Star Trek - The Motion Picture (1979)

    Cracker Classics sets out to piss off an entire fandom as Ian and Joshua explore what cameos and long establishing shots can do to pad the length of a film. There is also spirited discussion about blatant yet unmentioned sexual references and the superiority of Doctor Who.

  • Beaten By Belloq ['80s Edition]

    The movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

    Joshua and Ian seek adventure and history while seeing Indiana Jones be a sexist pig who always has the right answer to every archaeological mystery. Here's hoping your ears won't melt at the end of this episode.

  • #171 - Cockblocking You. For Your Own Good.

    The movie: Under the Yum-Yum Tree (1963)

    Ian and Joshua watch Jack Lemmon be a creepy pig and Paul Lynde fail miserably at playing a straight man. The movie is about a young couple trying to live platonically, but does love even enter into it? Does Jack Lemmon wear protection? Who's sleeping in the wet spot?
