Based on the off-Broadway show, Fucking Identical Twins is written and stars Josh Sharp and Aaron Jackson. The cast also features Megan Thee Stallion, Nathan Lane, Megan Mullaly and Bowen Yang as God.

Twins, separated at birth, discover each other, and devise a plot to get their parents back together. But this Freaky Friday gets super freaky with sewer boys, an amputated vagina and a scene that proves that incest is best kept in the family in DICKS THE MUSICAL

And here’s a movie that PEOPLE ALSO WATCHED…We’re going from a musical that was inspired by an off-broadway show to a musical that was, as according to the credits, “suggested” by the song Singing in the Rain. Which also happens to be the title of the movie!

SINGING IN THE RAIN was released on April 11, 1952 and stars Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Conner. It was directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen! Okay, what’s your logline pitch for SINGING IN THE RAIN?

Just in time for Halloween, Travis Greene (director) and Jonathan Buchanan (writer) join Tara, Adam & Dave to talk about their movie 8 FOUND DEAD. A Screamfest 2022 Best Picture and Best Director award winner, the movie was made during the pandemic. Now Travis and Jonathan share what inspired them to write the movie, how they went about shooting it and what they are also watching right now!

BUY 8 FOUND DEAD HERE
Two couples take a weekend getaway in the middle of the desert, only to discover that their Airbnb is already occupied. It’s a long and bloody night told from four points-of-view.

TRAVIS GREENE (DIRECTOR/PRODUCER) Travis is a director, producer, cinematographer, editor and sound designer. The content of his films skews towards the absurd and subversive. Feeding his predilection for unorthodox storytelling and offbeat characters, Greene utilizes the power of cinema, to exemplify and elevate the human experience.

JONATHAN BUCHANAN (WRITER/PRODUCER) Jonathan has been a writer most of life. He’s tried his hand at poetry, short stories, a novel and standup comedy. Mostly known as a songwriter, he’s written and recorded dozens of songs about quirky characters with a propensity for murder. He wrote his first screenplay in 2000 while living in Chicago, but 8 FOUND DEAD is his first to be made into a film.

This week we're going out for REVENGE!!

It’s the movie that revived Keanu Reeves career…again! It made over $66 million at the box office but started a franchise that has made over 1 billion dollars. Besides Keanu Reeves it stars Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, Adriene Palicki, and William Dafoe. It’s the first JOHN WICK!

Here's a movie that PEOPLE ALSO WATCHED…Now here’s a movie that PEOPLE ALSO WATCHED…when stunt people need to make a reel and don’t have a movie, what do they do? They make a movie. Now that sentence is completely made up. I have no idea of the history of this movie except that Adam sent us the trailer and we couldn’t pass it up. Avialable on YouTube and made in 1994, it’s PAROLE VIOLATORS!

This week we’re bromancing the action!

At its release, it was the most expensive Indian movie to date. And you just watch the ½ hour sequence before the opening credits and you’ll instantly see why! This Telugu-language epic is based on the imaginary friendship to two of India’s revolutionaries. It’s RRR

Available on Netflix, RRR cost about 72 million dollars to make and has made more than double than that in box office. Because of delays in filming due to the pandemic, the movie took years to make – but the wait was worth it!

Here's a movie that PEOPLE ALSO WATCHED…America has its own tall tale hero’s and is never shy about pairing them together. From the bevy of buddy cop movies, we went to the mother of them all – TANGO AND CASH, starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. Back in 1989, this big budget action movie cost 54 million dollars and grossed 120 million at the box office.

Tara, Adam & Dave get out their D20s and magicians robes to larp through two on screen RPGS! Yes, I know, I probably used both of those incorrectly – but it’s DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES and a movie people also watched (at least some) KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM!

And a movie that PEOPLE ALSO WATCHED…This 80’s classic is also about people’s last days of life on the planet, it’s NIGHT OF THE COMET– From 1984 it stars Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney and is directed by Thom Eberhardt who also wrote and directed Captain Ron. Night of the Comet cost a mere 700 thousand dollars and made over 14million! Why hasn’t there been a TV Show about this last night on earth?
