In the latest installment of our monthly B-movie series, Steven and Sean are falling into the wood chipper over the gruesome yet hilarious Eli Craig film, Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

Will this one be brilliant or will it be a dreaded blunder? Well, clearly you need to listen to the episode to find out.

From horny teenagers to warm and cuddly hillbillies, this movie has it all. We’re talking love, murder, curious uses of beer, and a pretty annoying psychopath. We don’t know what was going on with the kids in this film, but boy did they pay for their misunderstandings. I mean, c’mon, just take a second to think things through, guys! None of them had to die.

But then I guess there wouldn’t be a movie.

This movie features the most violent case of mistaken identity/hillbilly prejudice we’ve ever seen in a film. Hey people, just because someone looks like an evil, murdering hillbilly mountain-person doesn’t mean they’re an evil, murdering hillbilly mountain-person. Sometimes, that person just wants to enjoy their creepy mountain cabin or strike up a nice conversation with a pretty girl. We could all use a little more open-mindedness.

As we now know, our lives could depend on it.

We’re calling this one a B-movie, but it’s got an A-movie cast, an A-movie production, and A-movie fun. Not too many people know about this movie and that’s a shame. Is it gory? Sure. Is it still fun and worth your time? Hell yes!

On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are melting our brains with the creepy Denis Villeneuve film, Enemy.

We discover right off the bat that this probably isn’t the movie you want to watch while you’re at work. Not in the least. Throw on something from Disney+ if you want to watch something while you’re supposed to be working because Enemy ain’t it.

Theories abound between us with this movie. Why are there two Jake Gyllenhaals? Are there two Jake Gyllenhaals? Why is Canada so yellow? And what the heck is up with the spiders? Arachnophobes, for the love of Jake, stay away from this movie! Sean is schooled by Steven by some of the finer points of the mystery surrounding Jake Gyllenhaal’s characters in this movie. Or is it character, singular? This growing realization about the characters in this movie blew our minds and we’re pretty sure it’s going to blow your mind, too.

Be sure to wear a hat, friend.

Enemy is a fascinating movie made by a director that, even as he was just beginning to get noticed by the greater film world, is clearly just showing off. This movie is tense, mysterious, gorgeous to look at, and incredibly well-acted. Jump on into this one and try to puzzle it out with us.

On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are wading into some serious (and seriously funny) family drama in the Shawn Levy film, This Is Where I Leave You.

So why exactly does everyone want a piece of Jason Bateman? That’s the question we’re aiming to answer in this podcast episode. Is it his sense of humor? His bearded face? The rumor we’re creating right now about his desperate love of artisanal, hand-crafted saltwater taffy? Spoiler warning: we don’t actually figure this question out. What we do figure out is that the family in this movie, the Altmans, have got a whole lot of heavy issues going on. “Dysfunctional” just doesn’t seem to cover it with these folks.

The film does a wonderful job of walking a fine line between hilarious and depressing, which is impressive considering it starts with the death of a beloved family member. But hey, even in mourning there’s always room for healing as a family and getting it on with old flames, am I right?

Right?

Is this thing on?

This is a touching movie that we were happy to see and talk about in this episode. It also has one of the best casts we’ve ever seen. Jason Bateman and Tina Fey and Adam Driver AND Jane Fonda?! Come on, how much more greatness do you need?

On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean join in on the fun in the confetti bomb-shooting Cathy Yan film, Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn.

We start the episode with our appreciation of the Margot Robbie version of Harley Quinn. Stay on her good side and you may just find yourself hanging out with someone who won’t let anyone mess with the people she considers her friends. She will take punks out, sometimes with a nose full of cocaine. Things then get super good when the other Birds of Prey join in on the Harley Quinn fun. Even villains (or anti-heroes) can come together and kick some serious butt, especially when wearing roller skates. Look, this film is no Suicide Squad and that should probably be all you need to really hear about it. Rest assured, you’re not going to walk out of this movie feeling nearly as upset.

This is a fun film with a great visual style, an energetic attitude, a cast who really gives their all to their roles, and a disgustingly good breakfast sandwich.

Also, my fingers are so tired from typing that dang long title so much.

On the podcast this week, we’re trying to figure out just what the hell happened in the unique Robert Eggers film, The Lighthouse.

We wax rhapsodic about the rocky relationship between Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson’s characters. It’s clear from the first moments of the film that the acting shown on screen is of the highest quality. Seriously, they should show this film in acting classes. But then we puzzle over whether anyone actually dies in the film. Or maybe they don’t and it’s all historical allegory? And who is really worthy of the lighthouse light? WHAT DOES THIS MOVIE MEAN?

It’s clear there’s a lot going on in this wonderful movie. We’re especially taken by the Oscar-nominated cinematography and the sound design that always seems to be threatening to overtake you as you watch. The look and feel of this film is sure to take you back in cinematic time.

Also, Sean makes an astounding admission of teen vampire movie-related guilt. We end up going down a long rabbit hole about the Twilight movies and books. Don’t say we didn’t warn you here.

On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are getting these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane in the snake-filled David R. Ellis snake film about plane snakes, Snakes on a Plane.

Did we mention there are snakes? Loads and loads of blood-thirsty snakes?

We kick off the inaugural episode of our monthly b-movie series with a movie that will go down in the annals of history as a film that’s clearly as fine as Citizen Kane, but with a whole lot less sleds.

We talk about what constitutes a b-movie for a bit. We’re pretty much in agreement with what it means to attain that fabled classification. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean we’re going to be happy with what we’re going to subject ourselves to in the future.

But back to the plane. We marvel about how enjoyable this movie actually is despite it being something of a joke for most people. It may not have won any awards, but dang if this wasn’t a fun and silly movie. It’s a respectable hour and forty-five minutes and didn’t actually feel that long. Our hats are off to the always wonderful Samuel L. Jackson for helping to elevate this one to great heights and give it some legitimacy. If it weren’t for him, this would just be a movie full of dinguses who can’t keep themselves from being eaten.

In a movie about actual snakes on an actual plane, it had a decent look and some fine sound design to it. Say what you will about the story, this film was actually technically well-made. Let it never be said that a ridiculous film can’t shine bright.

Snakes!
