I Have To Return Some Videotapes

Ooooh! Happy Spooktober everybody! October is here and that means the duo will be watching and discussing horror movies all month! On this week's episode, Jo & Armand briefly talk about the new (un)intentionally funny as hell horror film from James Wan called Malignant which may be the most ridiculous and goofiest film of the year. Then the two dish it out on Suspiria, both the original and the remake. Jo prefers the OG while Armand is more of a fan of the new take. Find out why that is and tune in! Strap in folks because this one is a little lengthy.

First off, we wanna apologize for delaying yet another episode. Not gonna lie, this one is a mess folks and it ain't pretty. Due to unforeseen technical errors,  Armand's audio and project files disappeared after his audio editing software crashed as he was in the middle of editing the episode. Luckily, we have backup audio from our Discord voice call. However as a result, Armand's audio is in much lower quality. His voice just randomly kinda speeds up and slows down which is very very weird. So if you find this episode unlistenable, just know that we are terribly sorry for the setbacks and we're gonna make sure that none of this nonsense occurs again. Our next episode will come out on October 1st as scheduled!

On this week's episode, Jo & Armand discuss the emotionally impactful film Sound Of Metal and it's representation of deafness before getting super bad and outta sight as the two talk about Black Dynamite! Can ya dig it?

Jo's recommendation for next episode: Suspiria (1977) [we also will probably watch the 2018 remake]

Disclaimer music: Sunny Side Up from Black Dynamite soundtrack

Intro music: Metal (Gary Numan Cover) by Armand Garcia

Outro music: The Mint (Instrumental) by Earl Sweatshirt

This week's episode is a triple threat folks! Jo & Armand decided to watch two new films separately on their own accord: Pig & The Green Knight.

On this week's episode, Armand & Jo discuss Space Jam: A New Legacy, the new genetically engineered cash-grab from Warner Bros, and a beloved American classic, Sunset Blvd! New and old, these films in their own way touch on the true diabolical nature of the Hollywood machine. What a fun time we live in!

Armand's recommendation for next episode: There Will Be Blood (2007)

We will also most likely watch and discuss the new films Pig & The Green Knight next episode, so go catch em in the theaters while ya can!

It's a special episode this week folks! Jo & Armand finally come together in the flesh with their good friend Mark (who for some reason insisted being addressed as Anthony Weiner's fake account name Carlos Danger) and talk about Uncut Gems! They also briefly discuss the new A24 film Zola, which is based on a real viral Twitter thread of a strip club adventure to Florida gone bad.

Uncut Gems is hands down one of Armand's favorite films, so you know he was real geeked out this time around! Also Mark (aka Carlos Danger) is a fan of basketball, so it was real interesting getting his perspective on this movie that centers around the sport. Overall, everybody had a fun time just kicking it, discussing the inner workings of this masterpiece and saying some goofy shit in the process while drunk/high.

Jo's film recommendation for next episode: Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Intro music: Chuck Person - B5

On this episode, Armand, Jo & their dear friend Archie talk about the classic American action movie Face/Off where Nicolas Cage & Johnathan Travolta switch faces and try to kill each other for over 2 hours. This film is chock full of weird, wacky over-the-top sequences which leads the convo into some strange places. All in all, this movie is some stupid good fun and we had a pleasure talking about it.

You're gonna wanna tune in next time because it will be the first episode recorded IN PERSON! That's right, Armand, Jo and potentially a special guest will be talking about a movie that is really close to Armand's heart and may truly be one of his favorite films of all time! Facing off, in the flesh. You don't wanna miss it!

Armand's recommendation for next episode: Uncut Gems (2019)

First off, we'd like to apologize for the delay of this episode. We'll do our best to prevent that from happening again in the future. Thank you for your patience.

On this week's episode, we plunge deep into the madness that is the live action Super Mario Bros movie, which was the very first ever video game film adaptation. Coincidentally right after our last episode, a fan restoration of the movie with 20 mins of deleted scenes made its way onto the internet which is the version we all watched. I guess the universe was in our favor of watching this underground cult hit.

This episode features special guest Julian aka Jules, the designated Nintendo boy in our friend group. He joins us on our journey to point and laugh at (and simultaneously praise) the insane liberties the directors and writers took with the source material. Is this film really as bad as people make it out to be or is there truly something unique and special about this once in a lifetime adaptation? Strap in folks because this is gonna be a long bumpy ride. This film truly fried our brains and as a result, this episode ended up being a bit of mess.

Next episode we will be discussing yet another beautiful & insane film called Face/Off (1997) with another special guest and friend of the show, Archie! That will truly be an episode you don't want to miss!

Intro music: "1000 Bitches" by Lil B

Outro music: "Athletic Theme (PAL Version) - Super Mario World" by SiIvaGunner

On this week's episode, Jo & Armand discuss the 2012 documentary "Jiro Dreams Of Sushi". The documentary centers around Jiro Ono, a now 95 year old sushi chef who has devoted pretty much literally most of his life to sushi and his restaurant in Tokyo. Is this just a tale of one man's extreme love and dedication to his craft or does something darker lie within? Like most things at the end of the day, it all comes back to capitalism. How fun!

Armand's recommendation for next episode: Super Mario Bros. (1993)

On this episode, we briefly reminisce about hurricanes Rita and Ike then gush over and praise the unexpected classic of it's time, Napoleon Dynamite. We also talk about the stupid Elon Musk episode of Saturday Night Live that aired recently.
