From Justin to Kane

Hey Kanines! We're back! In this episode, we watch the iconic and surreal semi-autobiographical journey into Frederico Fellini's navel, 8 1/2, and discover that it is extremely similar to the nautical-horror cash-in sequel Jaws 3-D, a film that we viewed in but two of those three dimensions. That's right, Barbara the Shark is back in yet another Jaws movie!

We also share our font knowledge, start another pod beef, and riff out the plot to a meta sci-fi horror masterpiece about a shark in outer space.

In this episode we really "get in the zone". What do Andrei Tarkovsky's nearly 4 hour long epic journey into the science fiction post-apocalyptic wasteland and Kevin Smith's nepotistic sausage-fest journey into the wintry wasteland of Winnipeg have in common? A lot, apparently. We also figure out a name for our fans, shill some (fake) merch, and play "When Did They Poop?" where we figure out when the characters in the movies used the bathroom. #afamilyaffair

In this episode we tackle the Dreamworks animation sensation Shrek (2001), and stack it up with 2016's DC Universe fail-son Suicide Squad, and SPOILER ALERT we find that these movies are scarily similar. If you know anything about Mike, you know he has a deep love of Shrek, so this episode was a real treat. We also try out our best Shrek impressions, we figure out which Shrek character is which Suicide Squad member, and we talk about how we COULD HAVE invented Youtube and Grand Theft Auto... but we were too busy at the time.

The pod! The pod! The center of the cast! Hey, we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming, and we have a real good episode this week! In this episode we cover Sidney Lumet’s jury room drama 12 Angry Men, and we find out that it is the same as the mid-90’s feature film adaptation of The Baby-Sitter’s Club. As an added bonus, in the last half of the episode we go through every one of the eponymous angry men and figure out which juror most closely resembles which baby sitter! Riveting stuff!

We resume after a two week hiatus, having taken some time off to focus on current events, and we decided to move this episode up the list because of how relevant it is to what is going on. In this episode we talk about Spike Lee’s second feature film, the incredibly important Do the Right Thing (1989), and we find how it is the same as M. Night Shyamalan’s 2008 mass hysteria the-plants-are-trying-to-kill-us B-movie The Happening. We recorded this episode more than a year ago and could not predict how relevant this episode would one day be, that we would be living in a time of mass hysteria over a contagious virus AND worldwide police brutality protests. What a time to be alive!

In the opening to the episode we talk about what’s going on in the world a little bit, and also briefly discuss Spike Lee’s new film Da 5 Bloods, which everyone should check out. 

We believe Black Lives Matter and we support the movement.

In this episode, we compare the brilliant 1988 anime film Akira, and A Talking Cat!?! (2013), a children’s film that was directed by a man who is more known for his softcore porn films. Also: the cat is voiced by Eric Roberts. Through discussing the similarities between the two films, we discover that they are both about god-like figures with psychic powers, and both films are existential meditations on world war two that take place in a Shakespearean post-apocalyptic techno-dystopia. It's true!

In our second episode, we talk about the OTHER film that is often considered the greatest film of all time: Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958). And we talk about the OTHER movie that takes place in Xanadu: the post-disco rollerskate Electric Light Orchestra musical called, well, Xanadu (1980).  Do we find that both of these films are pretty similar? You’ll have to listen to find out! (spoiler alert: we do).

In this, our very first episode, we explore the two films that gave our podcast it’s name: Orson Welles’ masterpiece Citizen Kane (1941) and From Justin to Kelly (2003), “the American Idol movie”. 

We find an alarming number of similarities between the two films - for example, both are set in Florida, both include characters with political ambitions, and are equally “musicals”. By the end of the episode, we agree that Citizen Kane and From Justin to Kelly are pretty much the same movie!

And just a disclaimer: for this first episode, our audio quality is just okay! Don’t worry, the following episodes sound much nicer. Also, Mike had a cold for this episode so his voice sounds cracklier than usual!
