  • Collateral (2004)
    Michael Mann May selections have now entered the 21st Century and we got another LA crime thriller with 2004s “Collateral” starring Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise and a really chill ass Jada Pinkett Smith. Like, it seems like she would just listen to some R&B in the back of your cab, hitting a vape, and not judge you at all even though you’re a cabbie and she’s a big time lawyer. I’d smoke a doobie with Jada. Hell, I might roll out a whole HOG’S LEG YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!? DAMN I GOTTA SIT DOWN. I’M GETTING DIZZY. MICHAEL MANN.

  • At The Movies - Air (2023)
    This one is a double dipper. That means the movie is in the movie theater and streaming at the same time. That’s our MOVIEHUMPERS slang we’re trying to get out there. We want to change culture just like Michael Jordan and the suits at Nike did in 1984 when they branded a shoe line around a rookie player that would go on to be one of the most competitive, driven and iconic athletes of all time. Knowing what we know, then this movie can pretty much play the role of prophecy. Also, how will we know it’s 1984 when we’re watching this movie? HOW? We’re discussing “Air” directed by Ben Affleck and starring himself, Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Jason Bateman and Chris Tucker. Haven’t seen Chris Tucker in a minute. Last time I heard his name it was mentioned in that Epstein flight stuff. He was in Rush Hour, so there’s definitely no way he did any of that gross Epstein stuff. Rush Hour wouldn’t do that to me.

  • Movie Review Six Pack!
    We have an especially humpworthy, plus-sized, episode today because we’re not just reviewing one movie but SIX FULL LENGHT FILMS TOTAL! Yep, we picked six movies we saw within the last 6 or so months and we set a timer on each one. They run the gamut in genre and quality and we just might touch base on literally every ranking tier in our moviehump system. We also retroactively change the score of a recent review and adjust our tiers to make our judgements even HARSHER! Here are the flicks we are discussing:
    CITIZEN KANE by Orson Welles (1941)
    SPEAK NO EVIL by Christian Tafdrup (2022)
    KATE PLAYS CHRISTINE by Robert Greene (2016)
    THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER by Taika Waititi (2022)
    PARIS, TEXAS by Wim Wenders (1984)
    DON’T WORRY DARLING by Olivia Wilde (2022)
    The good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful in these selections and we got some firm opinions on all of them as well as a recurring “boing” sound which you are sure to love.

  • Heat (1995)
    We’re actually doing a good job keeping up with the theme this month and it’s easy when your theme is “Michael Mann May” because we’re watching high end crime drama bangers all month long. Michael Mann crushed it out of the gate with “Thief”, found his style groove with “Manhunter” and all that good stuff culminates into Mann’s crime epic that would become his most infamous film. Of course, we’re talking about the 1995 classic “Heat” starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Val Kilmer and about 800 other big stars. As it turns out, this was our very first viewing of it. Bob did see it forever ago around when it came out (as a pre-teen weirdo) but when he started watching it this time he realized he didn’t remember shit. Can’t believe we didn’t spend the last 28 years just watching this over and over. Better late than never.

  • The Night Of The Hunter (1955)
    We’re pairing some noir classic discussions with our Michael Mann May theme and we’re in store for some Robert Mitchum bangers up in this piece. Today we hit up a classic that is actor and stage producer Charles Laughton’s only feature film and it got so panned that he never directed another movie again. They didn’t know what they were talking about in 1955 because “The Night of the Hunter” starring Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters & Lillian Gish is a beautiful and disturbing piece of work. Also, this movie saved our souls. We’re deeply religious now. The Reverend Harry Powell might seem like evil incarnate, but he’s a believer, so you know he’s up there in Heaven slurping up all that milk and honey. Praise be.

  • Four Lions (2010)
    At least once a month we review a movie that is completely randomly generated from a random movie title generator website and last time the movie gods randomly bestowed upon us an English black comedy about four bumbling Jihadis who seek to do a suicide bombing. An absurd, hilariously and strangely touching comedy directed by notorious satirist Chris Morris. His first film. We’re talking about the 2010 comedy “Four Lions”. You can find it on Tube as of this posting. We watched it on Pluto for the subtitles and it kinda sucked. Not the movie. The movie was good. Pluto kind of sucked. We randomly generate our next randomly generated review at the end of this episode and it’s an exciting one.

  • Manhunter (1986)
    May’s theme is MICHAEL MANN MAY and next up on the docket is the crime thriller that also happens to be the first film adaptation of Thomas Harris’s “Hannibal Lector” novels. It’s not as well known as Jonathan Demme’s “Silence of the Lambs” but it stands out in its own special ways with some genuinely creepy and memorable performances. We’re talking about Michael Mann’s third feature film from 1986, “Manhunter”. It stars William Petersen, Tom Noonan, Dennis Farina, Joan Allen and a criminally underrated performance by Brian Cox as “Hannibal Lector”. Go watch this. It’s better than all the movies post-Silence of the Lambs. Imagine an alternate universe where Michael Mann tackled ALL of the Hannibal Lector movies. That’s a lot of Tangerine Dream!

  • At the Movies - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
    Bob Sham and Angela went back to the movie theaters to review the show’s very first Marvel Studio’s movie! Summer movie season begins and we bid farewell to James Gunn and his quippy space adventurers. We’re talking “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and rest assured, there is a Faith No More song in it. How is the villain? What is the tone of the movie? IS IT WOKE!? IS IT (oh I don’t know) POLITICAL!?!? THIS BETTER NOT BE WOKE OR POLITICAL, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!! This is 95% spoiler free.

  • Sunset Boulevard (1950)
    Bob Sham and Angela are looking to get into more classic era discussions and since it’s Michael Mann May and we’re up in some noir, why not look back at some older Hollywood eras where there is no shortage of the genre. We’re not entirely sure how we missed Billy Wilder’s iconic film “Sunset Boulevard” but we at least we got to sit down and watch it for the very first time. Some mighty fine and acclaimed Film Noir starring William Holden and Gloria Swanson in a role of a lifetime. And what about that chimp? This movie is ripe for prequel. We got to know more that chimp!

  • Thief (1981)
    IT'S MICHAEL MANN MAY and we're starting it off right with Michael Mann's first theatrical release and it's a bonafide modern noir classic. James Caan crushes it in 1981's "Thief". Watch this shit on Tubi if you haven't seen it.
