Back when we all shared a microphone, we talked about two racially charged films released 42 years apart. This film comparison was

requested by my mother, so how could I not? Anyway, this topic will always be relevant, but these two films are still very different in nature. However there are some very common cultural threads, as we'll talk big city racists and country bumpkin racists, and still manage to keep things pretty light. Thanks for recommendation, mom! And thanks for listening to Movie Show Theater!

We have a super weird show for you today! We have a few guests joining us via Skype to help out us out with some (virtually) spoiler-free discussion on Stranger Things. This show is taking over the internet, and it's no surprise to us! The show is a fitting homage to 1980's culture, and an incredibly effective retro-chic Netflix original series. But the first half of the show we'll be jumping back into movies to discuss Sam Ball and CJ Johnson's film that was just released today! Watch it for free at www.speedintothemoon.com

Speed Racer: Behind the Wheel is a short film that was written, edited, and directed by Joey Fandel. He had a bit of help along the way, I've heard. Sam Ball plays Speed Racer and CJ Johnson is a sound wizard. I've seen it and you should check it out. It's hilarious, under 20 minutes, and for sure NOT for young children. Actually, this episode probably isn't either. We'll also dish out some trivia, and I find out I am terrible to play trivia with. Please pardon our less perfect sound, as it was our first Skype experience. Thanks for your tolerance and thanks for supporting Movie Show Theater!

This movie was done by request of Matt Wehrmann, and we were happy to oblige. This movie was sufficiently funny when it was originally released in 1998 and had a respectable performance at the box office. But it was until about 10 years ago that The Big Lebowski hit worldwide cult classic status. Why is that? What happened?

I attended a LebowskiFest a few years back in Peoria that did not go so well, but I'll tell you more about that in the episode. Joel and Ethan Coen are two of my absolute favorite directors of all time, and I'll always hold Raising Arizona very near and dear to my heart.

But The Big Lebowski is funny, too. Like really funny. Largely due to Jeff Bridges' particularly hilarious character, but everyone turned out great performances for this movie. I think that is a key component to a truly great director. The Coen brothers seem to have the ability to bring out the best possible performances in the actors they work with. I won't tell you what it's about or why I like it, or why

John Turtorro is so freaking weird in a most wondrous way. You already know all this. Let's just start the episode, shall we?

Stu chose the cute, yet vulgar and violent Four Rooms from magical 1995. If you've never heard the tale of 1995, legend tells of 1995 being the best year of movies in the history of film. We discuss in greater length in this episode, but here's a short list as an example:

Braveheart, Toy Story, The Usual Suspects, 12 Monkeys, Se7en,

Apollo 13, The Bridges of Madison County, Heat, Casino, Mallrats, and Desperado (there's seriously like 20 amazing films from '95). So Four Rooms is a collection of 4 short films centered around an anxious and extremely neurotic bellhop named Ted, played flawlessly by Tim Roth. It's a good watch if you haven't had the pleasure. If nothing else, Tarantino directs the last segment, and his acting is especially bad. Also, we all decided Bruce Willis was legit intoxicated whilst filming this movie. No one is THAT good of an actor. Robert Rodriguez directs my favorite segment called The Misbehavers, and starring a wonderfully arrogant Antonio Banderas. I think this is a great date night watch. Four short films with very different themes and ideas, you're bound to like one of them. Thanks as usual for supporting us!
