  • In a Valley of Violence

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are throwing down at high noon in a town called Denton in Ti West’s film from 2016, In a Valley of Violence.

    I’ve got to ask, what the hell is with all these revenge films that find their instigating moment with the death of a poor, sweet dog? What did Daisy ever do to you, creators of John Wick? What did Abby ever do to you, makers of this film? Why do you have to go killing our innocent, fuzzy friends? Come up with a better idea!

    I see no need for it! There, I’m putting my foot down on this one. There’s no need for any more dog killing in films. This has just got to stop. I get that it tugs at the heartstrings of any viewer, but why? Just why? Surely, there are other ways to motivate people to get revenge. You just need to try harder, you damn screenwriters.

    Is it an effective motivator for the “hero” of this film, the tersely named Paul? You bet your ass it is. He may be no legendary killing machine like John Wick is, but he sure knows how to exact revenge on all who dare wrong him. The dude knows how to fire a gun, and he’s got his brooding and gruff whisper-talk thing down pat.

    To quote Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction (or the Bible, I guess), the man brings down great vengeance and furious anger upon this town. It all happened because the son of the town marshal just couldn’t figure out how to keep his dumb mouth shut. That’s the problem with loudmouths: they typically are the stupidest among us. Paul was all too happy to just be on his way, but then Gilly (what a stupid name) had to go and make a mess of things. Can’t say I feel too bad for him. He did kill a dog, after all.

    On the plus side, Paul, a man clearly in at least his forties, now has the opportunity to get it on with the local widow. And she just so happens to be sixteen freaking years old. Things were, uh… Things were mighty different back in the old west days.

  • A Million Ways to Die in the West

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are trying to win ourselves a girl. Oh, if we only had a mustache! This week, it’s Seth MacFarlane’s 2014 film, A Million Ways to Die in the West.

    Okay, quick, let’s get the plot of this thing out of the way. Ahem. There’s Albert, a man who lives in the Old West, but hates that time because everything—literally everything—is trying to kill you. Who would want to live in a place like that? His best friend is named Edward, who’s in a relationship with a selectively prudish prostitute. He’s in love with someone who doesn’t love him back because of how he feels about the time. What, he doesn’t want to shoot guns and he runs a sheep farm? He’s not much of a man. He meets a beautiful woman named Anna. She’s in a relationship, albeit a terrible one that she wants out of, with the most fearsome gunman in the West, Clinch. What’s a person like Albert to do, except fall in love with Anna, prove that he’s at least somewhat capable gun handler, and gets the girl in the end.

    Reductive? Sure, but then there’s not a huge amount of depth to this story. However, I don’t think there needs to be. This isn’t Casablanca, dang it. It’s a film where people die from farts, doctors are more likely to kill patients than save them, and others unleash vile torrents of feces into hats.

    This film knows exactly what it is, and we love it for that.

    That’s what makes this a peculiar B-movie bonus episode. On the one hand, the film currently has a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it’s clearly not a film with a particularly great or important story. To take a critical look at this film is to ensure it’s a blunder of a film.

    I think that would be a mistake, though. This isn’t a film that’s trying to be anything more than it is. That is to say, it’s not trying to have much substance. It’s trying to bring some humor into our damn lives, especially at a time when the world isn’t feeling too great. Sometimes we just need some foolish escapism, with low stakes and Neil Patrick Freaking Harris doing a song-and-dance number about mustaches.

    In that way, this film is a… masterpiece? Yeah, why not?

  • The Sisters Brothers

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are panning for gold and accidentally killing our new compatriots with this week’s 2018 film from Jacques Audiard, The Sisters Brothers.

    Yes, the Sisters brothers. Yes, they get it all the time. They’ve heard all the jokes, and you really shouldn’t try to… Look, we’re just saying that these fellas are violent and they live in a violent time. Maybe making fun of their silly last name isn’t the best idea. Don’t you think? People in this film keep trying to kill them, but those same people always end up riddled with bullets. I think it’s safe to say that you’re not a better shot than they are, and they will take… you… out.

    Now that we’ve gotten the ubiquitous, don’t-mess-with-these-boys warning out of the way, let’s talk about the film. As with so much else, everything that happens in this one comes down to insatiable greed. I can’t blame anybody. Who wouldn’t want to fill their old-timey satchels with armloads of shiny gold nuggets? Not I! Give me all the riches I can carry!

    Therein lies the rub: the hungry quest for riches beyond your wildest dreams is going to make you paranoid, sloppy, and downright mean. You’re not going to be your best self when you’re on the hunt for money. Heck, happened to Humphrey Bogart’s character in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. We all saw how that one turned out.

    Instead of losing yourself to an idealized vision of a possible future, why not learn to appreciate what you have in the present? For Charlie Sisters, he had to learn that his brother, Eli, was not the ungrateful killjoy he appeared. For Eli, he had to understand that his brother may end up being the death of him, but who better to go out with than the brother you love more than anything?

    That’s the surprising lesson to this bloody, frenzied story: your family, whether it be by blood or by choice, should be appreciated, cared for, and loved. They’re going to be there for you through all of the hellish tribulations you may suffer through. They’re going to forgive you, even when you find it impossible to forgive yourself. They’re going to see the real value in you, even when you can’t see it yourself.

    Ain’t that just so damn wholesome, coming from a movie that opens with a pair of brothers who ruthlessly murder a whole mess of people in the opening minutes?

  • The Wild Bunch

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are… murdering everyone who crosses us because we’ve got a taste for that sweet seductress known as gold and no one’s going to stop us from getting all that we can? We’re talking about Sam Peckinpah’s film from 1969, The Wild Bunch.

    Safe to say that introduction went off the rails pretty dang quick. However, I think you could say the same thing about this film. You think you’re going in to watch a fun western, maybe it’s like any other western you’ve seen, and then suddenly a firefight explodes, civilians are being senselessly murdered, and the good guys are actually the bad guys! It’s crazy and it doesn’t let up.

    The film does present a peculiar dilemma for an audience, though. Our main characters, led by the brilliant William Holden and Ernest Borgnine, are not the type of people that usually lead a film. We’re so accustomed to rooting for the central characters in a film, and then this one turns that habit on its head. They’re brash, violent, and greedy men. They’re also addicted to big scores. These qualities make for some pretty despicable human beings.

    It leads us to a strange conundrum: do we dare root for the outlaws who are willing to use innocent people as human shields in their quest for glory and riches? That’s a hard question to answer. You’ll reach the end and wonder about what the hell you just watched. I mean, we were a little bummed about the fate that befell these aging criminals by the time the credits rolled. We’d just spent nearly two and a half hours with them. That’s a long time to spend with someone, and then you remember that they’re unapologetic murderers.

    It’s surely one of the earliest antihero films, and paved the way for many similar stories that have been told since this one’s release. If you’ve ever watched something like Breaking Bad or Taxi Driver, then you can witness the indelible mark on film history that The Wild Bunch has left (even if it is a tough watch at times).

  • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are making our escape to Bolivia after fouling things up with some powerful rich dude in the 1969 film from George Roy Hill, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

    Has there ever been a more iconic duo than Butch and Sundance? I mean, I guess you’ve got peanut butter and jelly. There’s mac and cheese. Ketchup and French fries (unless you’re some sort of weird Dutch person who revels in slathering your pommes frites with mayonnaise). But Butch and Sundance aren’t food. They’re people!

    Maybe I’m just hungry. Note to all of you, don’t ever write podcast notes before lunch. You’re just going to end up with a rumbling stomach and bunch of words that don’t make much sense.

    This pair of bank robbing pals are quite the couple of bandits, and we’d ride with them any day of the week. Sometimes they need all the help they can get. Maybe you’ve got a relentless group of hunters on your tail because you just stole a great amount of money from them twice. Perhaps you need someone to dissuade you from going to Bolivia then you don’t know Spanish. We want to have you covered. Would it have saved them from the fate that ultimately befell them? Maybe not, but hey, who doesn’t want to take on what looks like the entire Bolivian army in a desperate shoot-out? Wouldn’t that be cinematic?

    Oh sorry, spoiler alert!

    This is the first of two collaborations between Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The other film being The Sting (and make sure to listen to our previous episode about that film). It’s clear from the outset that this is a magical pairing. Newman and Redford light up the screen in every scene they’re in, and lucky for us, they’re in just about every one.

    With this film, you not only get a rousing, fun, and tense western, but you get to witness two fine actors at the long peak of their games. It’s a blast from start to end, and we’re not just talking about that train car Butch and Sundance exploded. Although, Sundance would be very happy to tell you he warned Butch about using too much dynamite.

  • The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are off on an adventure to strike it rich with a couple other, well, let’s call them entrepreneurs. Will we keep it together? Will we go all cuckoo-pants bananas? It’s all in this episode about the 1948 film from John Huston, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

    One thing’s for sure, and that’s Humphrey Bogart going full-blown cuckoo-pants bananas. I’m sure there’s some proverb out there about the seduction of riches being too much for most men to resist. Actually, that’s probably it. Why not?

    The question this film wants you to ponder on is—would you do the same thing? Would the allure of thousands of dollars (or millions in today’s money) worth of gold infest your mind? Would you lose all common sense, followed by your very sanity and humanity? Would you be willing to kill other innocent people just for the chance to live a wealthier life?

    Could you make it through an ordeal like Bogey was in without losing it all?

    I think many of us want to believe that we’re better than that. We can resist the siren song of that temptation. Why would we ever fall that deep into the well of madness and end up trying to murder your comrades in gold? The thing is, so did Bogart’s character. He claims pretty early on that he knows when to stop, but then he starts seeing the gold and its potential. Suddenly, POW! Guy’s lost it. He’s screaming at people, suspecting them of thievery, leaving them for dead.

    Maybe we’d all suffer the same fate, especially if this is all taking place under the hot desert sun. It’s quite the thought experiment.

    And this is quite the movie. Trust us when we say that this film is a certified classic for a reason. Everyone on the cast and crew is firing on all cylinders. This is one of those westerns that gets stuck in your head and just won’t quit. It’s exactly the reason we chose to kick off our month of western films with this one. It’s got what all good films have: drama, action, great direction, and amazing performances. Do yourself a favor and go on the hunt for treasure with these characters. You won’t regret it.

  • Heavy Metal

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are enjoying a radical, ahead-of-its-time animated film from the ‘80s. It’s the film from a lot of different directors, Heavy Metal.

    Okay, hold on. I can’t let that introductory paragraph slide. Sure, this one was probably noteworthy and captivating when it came out. It was experimental and still has a crazy amount of energy (even if the fight scenes are as slow as molasses). There’s a lot going on in here that probably blew the feeble minds of people alive in the early ‘80s. Especially if those minds belonged to young teenage boys. Now, though? Oh boy, is this a problematic film. 

    Is it any worse than many ‘80s movies that seem more interested in opportunities to show off the bare breasts of its women characters? I mean, come on, there’s Porky’s and Caddyshack and Fast Times at Ridgemont High to consider here!

    That’s the thing, though! As Bob Dylan said (in probably a far different context), “the times they are a-changin’.” Watching a film like Heavy Metal requires a certain understanding and patience, and I think it’s acceptable if you don’t want to give it your time. There’s a lot that’s troublesome with this one. Most notably, women appear to only exist as sex objects. Entire segments are dedicated to suggesting that the best they can ever achieve is to pleasure a man, or else they’ll be vaporized and forgotten.

    Or they can dress in some ultra-skimpy number and fight alien dudes. Progress, I guess?

    It’s got some entertaining moments, but there’s a clear reason why this one is a B-movie bonus episode. It ticks all the boxes:

    • Is it pretty terrible? Check.
    • Is it tone-deaf to a fault? Check.
    • Is it unintentionally funny? Check.
    • Does it have a peculiar fan base? Elon Musk loves it, so… check.
    • Did we have a fun time ripping it apart? Check!

  • Lilo & Stitch

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are learning what it means to be a true family, while also staving off an alien invasion in the film from Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders, 2002’s Lilo & Stitch.

    If you even try to suggest that there’s a cuter being with more personality and destructive talents than Stitch somewhere out in the universe, then Steven might try to fight you. Seriously, dude’ll just straight up cut you.

    And who could blame him? Sean would back him up. I mean, have you even seen Stitch? Have you even seen this movie? If not, then you really should. It’ll make this episode more enjoyable. Give it a watch now; don’t worry, we’ll wait for you to come back. In the meantime, Sean’s totally agreeing with Steven. Stitch is the sort of out of control science experiment with an attitude that anyone can love.

    Lilo definitely fell in love with him the very first moment she saw him. Sure, she thought he was an adorable puppy, but who can hold that against her? She’s a lonely child who needs a best friend! It’s the other people in her life that needed to understand just how good Stitch can be. Nani and Bubbles were the problem here, along with the Grand Councilwoman and Captain Gantu.

    They needed to learn that ohana means family, damn it! And family means no one gets left behind!

    Hey, we get there, though. That’s the magic of this film. By the end of it, you’ll be rooting for Lilo and Stitch. You’ll want everyone to have a happy life together. You’ll want to see more of the lush and gorgeous artwork that this film is packed with. As we start wrapping up our current month of animated films, we couldn’t have picked a better one to watch and enjoy. This film is a delight, and enjoyable at any age.

  • Loving Vincent

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are trying to make a postal delivery from the late, great Vincent van Gogh, but end up getting caught up with solving quite the mystery with the 2017 film from Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, Loving Vincent.

    Man, we feel wiped out just watching this film. How impossibly exhausting must it have been to create all the thousands upon thousands of hand-painted oil works that make up this astonishing thing? I mean, sure, the artists who worked on this one must have enjoyed doing the work. It’s not like they were forced to paint an entire film at gunpoint.

    At least, I hope that’s not what happened. Those poor artists, if that was the case. But it probably wasn’t. Maybe.

    Technical stuff aside for a moment, this film is a clever way to introduce people to the life and story of now-über renowned artist Vincent van Gogh. In his time, though, he was hardly known, save for a small handful of people who were either delighted by his eccentric personality or disgusted by it. He painted so much beauty, but never sold any of it. He lived a tragic, painful life that ended all too abruptly. It’s a shame that’s how things ended for him given how appreciated he became.

    We get to experience all this through the eyes and travels of one Armand Roulin, whose father, Joseph Roulin, was Vincent’s postman and friend. Joseph tasks Armand with delivering one final letter to Vincent’s brother, Theo. While trying to find Theo, Armand meets an assortment of unique people who knew Vincent, whom all tell stories about his life. Through these interactions we learn more about the person Vincent was, and not just the legend he became.

    It’s a lovely, melancholy story told in such a unique fashion: the entire damn film is done in oil paint! Every single second. Every single frame! It’s all a living, moving work of painted art. It really is phenomenal, and is something that everyone should experience. We tend to think of animated films as something that’s drawn with a pencil or molded with a computer, but this one is crafted by a brush.

    It’s special, engaging, and worth your time.

  • Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

    Send us Fan Mail

    On the podcast this week, Spider-Steven and Sean are embarking on our greatest adventure ever: learning how to become the best heroes we can possibly be for the people who need us the most. We’re doing it all with this week’s episode about the 2018 film from Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

    Damn, what a great film this is. Sorry, I gave away how we feel about this one way too early (and in the stinking show notes, too!). Look, if you don’t know that this film is one of the best things that’s been made in the last decade, then you either haven’t seen it yet or you’re stuck in an alternate universe where it doesn’t exist. In which case, I just feel sorry for you. You’re missing out on a great story.

    Visuals aside for a second, the story is very affecting. As it always does, it boils down to what dear old Uncle Ben said:

    “With great power, comes great responsibility.”

    In every universe, nobody is asking to be a Spider-Person; it’s just forced on them, and they have to find a way to cope with their newfound powers. In the case of Miles Morales, not only does he have new spider powers to try and figure out, he’s also been tasked with saving several universes. If that’s not a lot of pressure, then I don’t know what is. That’s just a part of being Spider-Man, though. It takes responsibility, and it takes a leap of faith.

    The visuals of this film, though? Top freaking notch. I haven’t seen anything like this in, well, ever. I think we’re going to look back on this one and realize that it did something unique: it was original. None of us would be surprised to hear that it pushed the art of animated films forward. It’s a spectacle film, with a hell of a lot of heart. That’s hard to come by these days.

    Look, what this all comes down to is: you’ve got the power to see this film, so it’s your responsibility to see it. And at least a dozen times.
