Dissecting The 80s

How amazing is Anjelica Huston!? How great are these Henson effects?! Why did Roald Dahl want a bleak-ass ending?!

All this and more!

We’re going to a new schedule: the 1st of the month on Patreon for $5 and up members, and the 15th on the main feed.

Coming in a couple of days late, it's a new-to-both-of-us pick from Patreon supporter Michele: The In-Laws!

Why on earth were there not half a dozen movies with Adam Arkin and Peter Falk, and a couple of sequels to this movie?! Truly off the charts chemistry between these two.

We're back!

Celebrating the release of the Legacyquel/Remake The Naked Gun, we're diving in with Frank Drebin's debut film.

A truly hilarious movie that is just absolutely packed to the gills with jokes! Why don't they make more comedies filled wall-to-wall and edge-to-edge with jokes?

For now, another archive episode: Child's Play!

Note: Tripp is an idiot and picked the wrong microphone, so the first half of this sounds a mess! He’s super sorry – it’s fixed in the second half. We’re having another trip to “child” horror territory with Child’s Play … Continue reading →

We're on hiatus here on the main feed, but we're still keeping to our Patreon schedule for April and June!

Our next flick is Cameron Crowe's coming-of-age classic: Say Anything...
