The boys are back in town with another explosive episode. We watched Juzo Itami's hilarious crime comedy, WOMAN IN WITNESS PROTECTION (1997). A gloriously goofy and original story about a famous actress who witnesses a murder and must now navigate herself through a world of fanatical death cults, bumbling policemen, and rascally media vultures! We also discuss Jon's newfound gambling habit, the nuance of Kelly Reichardt movies, and I even give an update regarding my broken side mirror! Enjoy.

We're joined by Mike Leopold, founder of The Warming Home blog, and creator of the My Drive to Work podcast, to discuss George Miller's iconic dieselpunk classic MAD MAX (1979). This is a highbrow conversation with topics including: Chicago sports, hologram Jack Nicholson, social etiquette, kangaroos, assless chaps, and kale chips. You're gonna want to listen to this.

We noted in the previous episode that Andrei Tarkovsky, the director of the film we had watched for that week, named Robert Bresson as one of the two filmmakers whose views he had any interest in. It only seemed natural for us then to watch his quietly intense and uniquely suspenseful drama, A MAN ESCAPED (1956). We discuss car issues, Jean-Luc Godard, the value of Letterboxd, Film Twitter idiots, minimalism, genre filmmaking, and Antoine Doinel as an old man. Covered a lot of ground.

We're back with a new fuckin episode, folks. We watched Andrei Tarkovsky's fascinating psychological science fiction thriller, STALKER (1979). You think you know about post-apocalyptic drama? Wrong. You know nothing. Tarkovsky explores deeply religious and philosophical themes, and Jon and I did not miss a single second of it.

Considering the fact that this movie has come up twice in conversation on previous episodes, we decided to watch Fred Durst's dreadful psychological thriller, The Fanatic (2019). Starring John Travolta (in an epically disastrous role) as a disturbed and obsessive fan who just wants his favorite actor to sign a leather vest for him. We discuss the art of character development, Travolta's acting decisions, Durst vs. Godard, and of course, Limp Bizkit.

Jon and I watched Jean-Luc Godard's beautiful and challenging meta film, CONTEMPT (1963). Godard uses the backdrop of the filmmaking process to examine artistic integrity, as well as romantic human relationships. We talk the French New Wave, Fritz Lang, The Simpsons, and Cinemascope.

And we're back! For our tenth episode, we are joined by our old friend and fellow movie fan Tim Munroe to discuss the Safdie Bros low budget 2009 film, DADDY LONGLEGS. A beautiful and liberating discussion. We talk indie movie pretensions, "The Sandman", New York hipsters, John Travolta, Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit, Cosmo Kramer, Blue Chew, and Jack Nicholson soundboards. Perhaps our most important conversation to date. You should probably listen to this one.

We're back. For today's episode we discussed 5 short films by the one and only David Lynch. The films covered include: Six Men Getting Sick, The Alphabet, The Grandmother, The Amputee, and Premonitions Following an Evil Deed. The majority of these films were made before his first feature (Eraserhead), but already they give us a glimpse into his singular vision. We also discuss Spike Lee, European soccer, video games, the power of grotesque imagery, and "The Log Lady". Good talk. Check it out!

For today's episode we discuss Robert Altman's Secret Honor (1984), a single-location film that catches Richard Nixon in his feelings. We talk crooked politicians, Philip Baker Hall, as well as the benefits and disadvantages of the single-location film.

Horny nuns and shit vats and cuckolds, oh my! A new episode of In The Queue is here! Today we discuss Pier Paolo Pasolini’s wacky anthology, The Decameron (1971). We talk thieving scoundrels, institutional hypocrisy, sexuality, moralism, debauchery, and human-to-horse transformation.
