Make Me Watch

McGee makes E board the windows and bunker down on a foundational piece of spooky season cinema. We take a break from problematic artists to gas up a real one, run down a Darabont homage before The Walking Dead, and try to survive through the night at the feet of godfather of zombies.

The long-awaited and long-winded continuation of the Diary of a Mad White Savior series comes to a surprising end. McGee considers a photogenic catchphrase, E spots the sadist in a savior, and they both welcome a quiet but essential guest to round out the show.

E makes McGee bust out an episode from our famous vault as he's feeling under the weather this week. Enjoy an extra long episode from an era when our runtimes ran like an out of control contagion. Lawrence of Arabia Pt 2 next week.

E makes McGee stop fishing water out of a well to dine in Wadi Rumm! E traces the butterfly effect from the 00’s ’Stan’ to a white savior miracle of today, McGee takes a well-advised detour around the brown-face casting convo, and after the looooong journey of part 1, they can both agree this film's a tall glass of lemonade.

McGee makes E witness the fiery follow-up to Fury Road. They get greasy trying to pin down the source of the spotty CG, stand in awe of Immortan George, and gas up the war-rig but get Doomed to a detour.

E makes McGee quit banging his head against the light switch and turn his attention to an Oscar darling. McGee regales with tall tales of scaling Frank Llyod Wright’s taller fences, E dream casts a Don for a Song, and they both pick peaches with murderous intent.

McGee makes E take a rail-car back to school for an educational documentary on the evolving evil of the Pullman Company. They trade turns on the soapbox, take a tour of one of the worst attempts at a company-controlled town, and lay down some lines that hopefully lead to a radical change.
