The Dudes go silent for once in their lives with 1926's The General.  Buster Keaton's masterpiece about a courageous train engineer in The American Civil War is both essential viewing for cinephiles, and morally reprehensible.  We always welcome challenging films, and thankfully this one is so expertly crafted, you almost....you know what, no. It makes Southerners the heroes, and that part is indefensible.  Still, what a movie, everybody!    

Other movies discussed:

Alien : Romulus (2024) - Directed by Fede Alvarez

Caged Heat (1974) - Directed by Jonathan Demme

The Dudes want to see a dead body in 1986's Stand By Me. This coming of age tale follows four friends on a journey where they unexpectedly grow as individuals, address past traumas, and gain reverence for things most adolescents ignore. It contains some of the best kid acting ever put to film, and is a nearly perfect experience. Pause this podcast and watch it now.

Affliction (1997) - Directed by Paul Schrader

The Dudes go topless in the jungle and get chased by one ugly.... with 1987's Predator.  Oft-quoted, oft-referenced, and oft-memed, this movie defines 80s excess, and still entertains almost 40 years later.  So air-arm-wrestle your best frenemy and paint stripes on your face for...an advantage?  Who cares, this is a damned good time.

Party Girl (1995) - Directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer

Immaculate (2024) - Directed by Michael Mohan

The Dudes take a voyage of pure imagination in 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This children's fantasy favorite brings humor and adventure for all ages, with a sugary coating of social commentary. It's weirdly delightful and worth every second of your time, but if you want admission, you'll need a golden ticket.

Other movies discussed:

The Doom Generation (1995) - Gregg Araki

Going My Way (1944) - Leo McCarey

The Dudes warp to what they're told is the Mushroom Kingdom with 1993's Super Mario Bros.  Nintendo screened this film, saw what was done with their iconic game and characters, and left The Movie Business forever.  An extreme reaction, but a fair one.  This movie is really dumb everybody, but now and then that's how we like it.     

Other movies discussed:

Snake Eyes (1998) - Directed by Brian DePalma

Civil War (2024) - Directed by Alex Garland

The Dudes' fear of separation culminates at a house party in 2007's Superbad. This crude high school comedy set a new standard for the genre, and is considered by many to be one of the best. It also showcases many talents before their rise to fame. So grab your fake ID and be careful who you dance with.

Longlegs (2024) - Directed by Oz Perkins

The Dudes are presented with tacos that might hold up in court with 2022's The Menu.  Do you despise the wealthy and the pretentious?  Then prepare yourself for roughly 100 minutes of massively creative frontier justice visited on people who are brand-new to consequences.  Do not eat.  Taste, savor, relish.  Then die with those who give.

Other movies discussed:

Waking Ned Devine (1998) - Directed by Kirk Jones

Quiz Show (1994) - Directed by Robert Redford

The Dudes head to summer camp in 2001's Wet Hot American Summer. This absurdist parody takes conventions from popular summer camp movies of the 70s and 80s and spins them on their head. It also features a who's who cast of actors that will keep you saying "Oh, they're in this?" Just be sure to keep your eyes on the sky.

Other movies discussed:

Hour of the Wolf (1968) - Directed by Ingmar Bergman

Knox Goes Away (2023) - Directed by Michael Keaton
