For Your Consideration

This week on FYC Dustin and Mike surely have a bit of a laugh as they sit down and take a deep dive on a comedy classic from the '80s, Jim Abrahams and the Zucker Bros. disaster film spoof, Airplane! We haven't done many funny films on the show so it's been a bit of a treat to shake off the serious and spotlight one of the most highly regarded comedies of all time. Check out the convo to see if we deem it a masterpiece or a museum piece. And don't call us Shirley.

On this week's episode of FYC, Mike and Dustin take a look at this highly entertaining 1996 film based on the Irvine Welsh novel of the same name, Trainspotting. Will Danny Boyle and John Hodge's adaptation of a group of heroin addicts in an economically depressed area of Edinburgh and their passage through life rate as one of the greatest films of all time and not just the best Scottish film of all time? Check out the episode to find out. You have clicked to entertain yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.

In a new microcast spin-off of FYC, host Dustin Friesenhan subjects himself to a number of extreme, transgressive, art house, and exploitation films so you don't have to! All of these films fall firmly into the very hard to watch variety and Dustin takes one for the team, breaks them down, and lets you know what is worthwhile and what is a waste of time.

This inaugural episode of ICYWC... features the 1987 West German horror exploitation film co-written and directed by Jörg Buttgereit, Nekromantik. The story revolves around an alienated man (Daktari Lorenz) who brings home a decomposing corpse for his overly critical (and necrophiliac) girlfriend.

On this week's episode of FYC, co-host, Mike Jozic, is joined by guest commentator, Shannon Williams, to do a running commentary over the controversial 2012 Ridley Scott film, Prometheus.

Having recently reconciled himself with the much derided movie. and also having just watched Alien: Covenant, Mike wanted to record a commentary track sharing some insights into the story and possible explanations for some of the more contested points in the film. What is the black goo? How does it work? Why do the scientists not act like really good scientists? Why do people only run in straight lines? So grab a snack, pop in the film, and kick back as our two commentators take you through one of the more underrated sci-fi films of the last decade.

Hosts Mike and Dustin return with another episode of All Things Considered, the open review show where we cover anything and everything that catches our interest on the cinema landscape. For this episode the discussion revolves around Sony's 2016 Ghostbusters revival, Yūdai Yamaguchi's 2003 Baseball Battlefield, Ari Folman's 2008 Lebanon war memoir/documentary, Waltz With Bashir, and Peter Jackson's infamous 1989 puppet fiasco, Meet the Feebles.

On this first episode of Sound Considerations, a new sister podcast to FYC looking at movie music and film scores, host Mike Jozic takes a deep dive into Jed Kurzel's moody and atmospheric soundtrack for the latest installment in the sci-fi/horror franchise, Alien: Covenant.

They say that in space no one can hear you scream, but on the internet, everyone can hear us do a podcast looking at Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi/horror classic, Alien. Join Mike and Dustin in this latest episode of FYC as they take a deep dive into the film that introduced the world to a near-invincible nightmare creature, set the bar for future stories in the genre, and influenced countless other films. Will your intrepid hosts vote Alien as a masterpiece of cinema or a museum piece? You'll have to listen to the show to find out.

Also, nowhere else will you get this much discussion about the cat Jones. We guarantee it.

FYC gets a Lynchian twist as Dustin and Mike tackle the director's dream of dark and troubling things, 1977's Eraserhead. With Twin Peaks returning to television screens this month, we wanted to spotlight one of David Lynch's seminal films and there are few better than to look at his debut feature. Join us as we take a deep dive into the surreal psycho-sexual landscape of Eraserhead!

On the latest episode of FYC, hosts Mike and Dustin are joined by guest commentator, Cat McDonald, to discuss the first part of Peter Jackson's 2001 epic and groundbreaking film trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.

We went a little long this time out but considering the length of the film it should come as no surprise that our conversation would be no less epic. And while the one ring may have brought us together and bound us in our own little fellowship we give the film no quarter and ask the hard questions as to whether or not The Fellowship of the Ring should be considered one of the greatest films of all time.

Hosts Mike and Dustin take on the eighth wonder of the world, King Kong, on this latest episode of FYC. It was 84 years ago this month that RKO pictures unleashed the cinematic juggernaut that is Kong on the world and to celebrate this, we decided to take a look at Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B. Schoedsack's classic monster/adventure film and see if it stands up to be considered one of the greatest films of all time.
