Doomsday at the Movies

Amber and Ryan discuss comics-to-film animated anthology Heavy Metal; the limitations of rotoscoping, pizza cutter hands, a giant chicken that screams like a man, and how the film's treatment of women holds up in the modern age.

Amber and Ryan dig into 1983's infamous Yor the Hunter From the Future. They discuss mud mummies, questionable sails, Italian genre film, and the movie's himbo barbarian hero. They're gonna make all those wilds beasts look tame tonight.

Amber and Ryan dig into 1995's 12 Monkeys. They discuss how it compares to the original La Jetee, director Terry Gilliam's questionable behavior, and how well one of Brad Pitt's most famous capital A acting performances holds up.

In their inaugural episode, film critic Ryan Covey and author Amber Covey discuss their relationship to post-apocalyptic and dystopian films, define what a "Doomsday Movie" is, and talk about the 1962 French short film La Jetee.
