For this episode, we've decided to each program our own overnight movie marathon, based on six categories. From modern day cartoon classics and international insanity to bone-breaking martial arts and rubber monster suits, expect a journey into everyone's idea of what 12 hours of big-screen pleasure (and/or pain) would be!

Will the next-to-last Monday of the month become "Ludicrously Specific" day? I mean ... don't count on it? But nonetheless, we are back with unusual alacrity, revisiting our lengthy siesta and shining a light on some of our favorite viewings during that time, from Stromboli to Scandinavia, from Toronto to Tokyo. Enjoy!

It's enough time to make a baby. It's a movie Julianne Moore doesn't put on her CV. And it's how much time since our last episode happened. 

So: we're back. And in a desperately doomed attempt to make it snappy, we've asked three questions: what's the best new movie you've seen? What's the best old movie you've seen? And what's the movie you're most desperate to talk about? From Charles Laughton to Godfrey Ho to Fabio Testi, from the sublime to the ridiculous, discover where our cinematic obsessions have taken us over the last nine months. 

And we promise: it won't be nine months until the next one. 

... is a film we're not discussing today. More of a comment about Doug, Steve, and Darren, who are discussing a film called The Mob. And also a film called The Mob. You'll see. 

This episode is under an hour. No, this is not a typo. We cannot guarantee that our hosts have not been body snatched by other hosts. 

Jesus Christ, Daffy Duck, and some ninjas walk into a bar. Just a usual day on Ludicrously Specific. But before that, we unpack the wonders of Trashathon, a new event at the Hollywood sponsored by the Incredibly Strange Archive and Vinegar Syndrome, and the absolute dreck (complimentary) that screened there. 

Skeet's been hacking away at #ACenturyOfCinema. Doug's been hacking away at the releases of 2024. Darren's been hacking away at Twin Peaks. And we've all been hacking away at the legacy of Gene Hackman. Join us for a double in-memoriam, followed by a few rounds of What We Watched, featuring a killer lawn mower, the worst idea for a date movie ever (Takashi Miike edition), a Roger Corman movie with a Winnie the Pooh connection, and your favourite: much more!

Two episodes in one month?!? Hold onto your monocles, the surprises are only beginning as we explore the best and worst of cinema in 2024. Will Skeet praise a film that rhymes with "curiosa"? Will we talk for two hours yet again? Who's to say? 

You know we couldn't let the year go by without another episode, right? (Well, we *could*, but we didn't.) Join us for everything from Dr. Seuss to Dr. Acula, from sheep to ants, from laughter to tears, from digressions to distracting cats, and - yes - more!

Is this thing on? Oh, yes it is. Get ready for two hours of zombie ninjas, oversized canaries, Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippo, and whatever the hell XTRO is. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. From Victor Erice to Bruce Leung, join us for a ramble as we discuss - that's right - what we watched for the last three months.
