Have You Seen This?

Tim and Jen enlist Gaius of the wonderful Tribunate channel on YouTube to help unearth a Romans-vs.-Picts historical epic that vanished like the Ninth Legion, Centurion.

Jen's personal favorite video from Tribunate is this savage takedown of Cato, but this examination of Roman concepts of race and how radically they differ from ours is another great example of the high caliber of material from Gaius's channel. Also the triggered reactionary crybabies in the comments are extremely funny. Finally, don't miss this compilation of filthy Roman words!

If you perked up your ears when  Jen mentioned Carry On Cleo, go check out our survey of the Carry On franchise, featuring the inimitable Bitter Karella!

Jen puts Tim in an arm bar until he agrees to talk about a backyard martial arts movie from a determined auteur: Fight Ring!

Sean Gallimore had a successful animation career for many years, including many top-of-the-line films for Disney. See a gallery of his artwork, which includes expert 3D modeling work as well as his signature pinups.

If you love outsider indie films as much as we do, don't miss our episode on a towering work of queer drama straight from the trailer park: Romeo and Romeo.

Tim and Jen invite their favorite internet crank Bitter Karella to help them analyze a bewildering major release that no one liked, Argylle. It's so confounding a project, it leads Karella to use the phrase "Brechtian distancing mechanism."

Listen to our Apple TV+ episode, in which we read the entire platform to filth. F*ck you, Tim Apple!

Read this Deadline article about the production and marvel at how out of touch these people sound. At the end, director Matthew Vaughn throws in an enthusiastic endorsement of the Apple Vision Pro.

Read the incisive opinion piece Tim invoked when discussing the sexlessness of Argylle, R.S. Benedict's "Everyone is Beautiful and No One is Horny" via Blood Knife.

Jen and Tim just can't figure out why audiences were so lukewarm about this fun pulp adventure, The Phantom from 1996.

Phantom creator Lee Falk enthused about the movie in a 1996 interview, singling out Billy Zane for particular praise.

As Tim mentioned, the Phantom struck a chord with the people of Papua New Guinea. See examples of war shields of the PNG highlands featuring the character.

Tim and Jen welcome Rifftrax stalwarts Bill Corbett and Sean Thomason to discuss a cheapie high fantasy film that thinks it's a spaghetti western, Hawk the Slayer!

Bill and Sean have brought their Ringheads podcast to a close, but if you crave some Silmarillon chat, find it on Apple Podcasts or your preferred podcast platform.

The Rifftrax version of Hawk the Slayer is free with ads on Tubi, or you can secure your very own copy at the Rifftrax website!

In the Realms of the Unreal does not appear to be streaming as of this writing, but you can find out more about outsider artist Henry Darger at the documentary's official website.

Also, don't miss Bill's previous appearance on our show to chat about the 1979 TV movie version of Captain America, starring Big McLargehuge aka Reb Brown.

Jen and Tim journey to Gumbasia to experience the vision of a lovable madman, The Gumby Movie, aka Gumby 1!

The story of Henrietta Lacks and the immortal cell line that bears her name is a remarkable one, encompassing topics of institutionalized racism, scientific ethics, and medical marvels. Adam Curtis made a fine documentary about Lacks and the HeLa line of cells in 1997 for the BBC.

The video for "All The Things She Said" by Simple Minds presents a fine example of the then-cutting-edge video work of filmmaker Zbigniew Rybczyński.

And after you've seen that, really blow your mind with Charles and Ray Eames's head-spinning 1977 short, Powers of Ten!

Tim and Jen spice up their lives with a fluffy little movie about five assertive young women, Spice World!

Read a contemporaneous account from Rolling Stone of the Spice Girls at the height of their global fame, in which they pick their noses, pee on things, and generally lark about.

The VH1 commercial slamming ELO that Jen mentioned is the first one in this compilation.

Yeah, what was the real Fox Force Five? Since there's a wiki for everything, check the one for Pulp Fiction:

🤯

In true user-edited wiki fashion, this one is incorrect about the Code Name: Foxfire series mentioned. There were actually eight episodes that aired from January to April 1985, not just a pilot.
