On the BiTTE

Wild Things (1998) is a film that we couldn't wait to record. This film has a legacy that precedes itself. The best part is...Ryan had never seen this film. Can you believe it?

We made it! We actually made it! We got to the end of the year and survived 2021! And we've achieved what we set out to achieve; start a podcast and deliver it every two weeks to our beautiful audience. But there's more. In this Wee BiTTE we outline what it is we hope to achieve in 2022, be it with less of a crippling feeling of despondency, we go into the New Year much more hopeful. Thank you all for being here and catch you on the next one!

Eastern Promises (2007), is our very first David Cronenberg film! And the indent that Ryan made for this is truly spectacular. He’s really outdone himself with this one. We’ve been waiting to review this film for a long time, as it is famously infamous, and also we wanted to wait because it is, of course, a Christmas movie. Some may argue, more Christmas-y than Die Hard (1988). Grab a bottle of Russian vodka, à la Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant (1992), and swig away while you enjoy this treasure.

We love you, Viggo.

It’s streaming on Starz, if you subscribe to that channel (at least as of 11/29/2021)! Who actually subscribes to Starz? Is it any good?

The Power of the Dog (2021) is our 13th episode and an extra special extra episode! There had been rumors about full-frontal in this movie, and it delivered, kind of. You'll need to listen to find out. Also, watch the movie on Netflix!

One Hour Photo (2002), directed by Mark Romanek, is our second Robin Williams film, but he’s not the nudeman. Romanek has only directed 3 films, and this is his second. I wish we had more Romanek in our cinemas, but until then we’ll need to treasure this one. I would be surprised if you haven’t seen it, but we had a fantastic time talking about it.

It’s streaming on HBO Max (at least as of 11/29/2021)!

Sideways (2004), directed by Alexander Payne, is pretty darn good. It certainly has one of the wildest full-frontal nude scenes we've covered to date. Join us while we discuss nothing about wine, but a lot about daytime soap operas. 

Bad Lieutenant (1992). What episode is this? Nine? Well, it didn’t take us too long to dive into one of the world’s most famous dick scenes, and the father of all male nudity, or may I call him Penis Papa?: Harvey Keitel. I need to make a #penispapa for my IG posts…

Directed by Abel Ferrara, this is a visceral, hard-to-watch film that is truly unforgettable. I laughed when I was uncomfortable, which is a lot, so I might have sounded like a maniac while watching this. Trigger warning: there is a rape scene in this film. Usually when I see a rape warning before I film I try to skip it. Who needs that in their lives? Well, hopefully you can stomach it for this film, and actually, you get all the full frontal before that scene even happens. Stick it out, though, I don’t think you’ll regret it. Penis Papa Keitel is truly giving it everything he has and more, and it’s really a marvel to watch.

Ryan owned the Region 2 UK version, and we didn’t see it on streaming at the time of writing this blog post, but if it comes up when we premiere the episode, we’ll let you know on Instagram.

Enjoy our first Keitel episode, there will be more where that came from.

An American Werewolf in London (1981), an absolutely favorite and a classic from John Landis. And, potentially, from what I’ve researched, the ONLY full-frontal male nudity we’ve ever gotten from Landis. This particular scene caused David Naughton to lose his long-time job as Dr. Pepper’s resident singing-and-dancing mascot. Join us, as always, as we dissect, indulge, and ruminate on our last Halloween episode for SPOOKY PENIS MONTH.

Something I regret not mentioning in the episode: how is David a werewolf 2 nights in a row? Isn’t he moon only full for one night, and it changes ever so slightly each night? I googled it and this is what I found: “The moon appears full to the eye for two to three nights. However, astronomers regard the moon as full at a precisely defined instant, when the moon is exactly 180 degrees opposite the sun in ecliptic longitude.” Source: https://earthsky.org/moon-phases/full-moon/

If that is true, then I’ll need a werewolf-ologist to help me figure out what exactly that is all about.

Hey, does anyone know of any full-frontal Thanksgiving films?? Hit me UP.

Danny Boyle only gone and done it again! He made another movie with a dick in it. It just so happens that it falls into the "spooky penis month" because he had a crack at ole' faithful...The Zombie Flick! This one's different because the zombies run in this one... and... em... uh... Did I mention the zombies run in this one? Don't forget, it's spooky season, and #SpookyPenisMonth continues!

Night of the Demon (1980) is a terrible movie you can watch for free on YouTube! It involves a Bigfoot, and a scene that can only be described as...blood everywhere. 

Holy mother of God! He's coming! He's coming to get you! The Demon! Or more accurately Bigfoot. A really angry Bigfoot. This is the angry Bigfoot movie and he's absolutely furious. The sole outing from Director James C. Wasson; an ultra-violent, trashy video nasty in the finest of terms. Join us for big laughs in our first outing this Halloween season in a bitte's-packed October! Welcome to the first of 3 Halloween episodes for #SPOOKYPENISMONTH!
