Films & Filth

We've been so hard on the first Sergio Leone entry on the list that at one point we banned ourselves from talking about it. Do we feel the same about this one? Spoiler alert: no. We talk about westerns, progress, trains, revenge, Bronson, and ponder what the hell Sergio Leone's deal was.

Mercy joins us to discuss this Twilight parody but also Twilight itself, because at this point all of us have watched Twilight and some of us have very strong opinions about it, you might be surprised (and you might not). This is number two of six of the dreaded Friedberg/Seltzer parodies and we are just very fortunate to have a different movie to talk about this time.

Make sure to go back and listen to Matt talk with Luke and Mercy about Twilight on Time enough (and with Mark and Scott about The Forbidden Zone)  https://timeenoughpodcast.transistor.fm/episodes/twilight-forbidden-zone-w-mercy-luke-mark-and-scott

John Champion of Mission Log joins us once again for this film about WWII that you've definitely heard of and have definitely heard quotes from and heard the song from, but there are a lot of things you probably didn't know about it. There's a lot to get into about this film that represents peak studio system that we all enjoyed, as well as a little Star Trek DS9 chat, so make sure not to miss your plane

Andrew Shearer from Gonzoriffic swings by to help us drop the hammer on some weapons manufacturers, most of us liked this extremely tall superhero movie and we talked about a lot of other superhero stuff, Marvel and non-Marvel, and Mark will not stop speculating about what Shaq allegedly did in the locker room.

We usually complain that we have nothing to talk about for good list movies but this is one of the longest episodes of our pod ever, we talk about Psychos 2-4, the remake, Diabolique, The Shining, lots of other slasher and horror movies, and of course Godzilla movies. What are our big takeaways? There are a lot so carve out 75 minutes of your schedule and put your stabbing dress on.

We dive into the "best" of the Friedberg/Seltzer parody films, six of which are on the bottom half of the "bad list" and the "worst" of which sits at Number 1. Did we hate this one? Well at least one of us did, but we're just getting started.

I'm not crying, you're crying! We go over one of the saddest things which we were all dreading watching, but don't worry, there's plenty to talk about aside from crushing brutal sadness, such as the interesting polymath who wrote the story and the extremely methodical guy who directed the film, and of course some Miyazaki too. And if you're wondering, you don't have to watch the film to listen if you can't handle it right now (and if you want, you can read the short story which we talk about too)

The news just broke that Netflix made less original content in Q1 2026 than any time in the past 8 years and this film came out 8 years ago, so the pattern is there. There aren't many spoilers about the film because nothing happens so it's definitely safe to listen to this podcast without watching it, which is good because it isn't even on Netflix anymore. Probably also isn't a spoiler to say that we tried to talk about almost anything else for almost an hour.

Mark is back to wrap up talking about all the movies he wasn't here for in this finale to the trilogy that nobody asked for. Not exactly an April Fools' episode but it's the closest thing we had lying around.

Happy birthday to Matt! Belated birthday, ok very very belated (scheduling is hard) we are talking about a movie that features and was partially conceived by Bob Dylan in 2003(!) with a murderer's row of stars and directed by the guy who would later make Borat. Is it weird? How could it not be? It's Matt's birthday pick! Next week we're back to the list for the second half(ish) of it.
