Project A Plus

A maybe-bad chat about Hold the Dark and the final films in our Nagisa Oshima series, In the Realm of the Senses, Empire of Passion and Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. Bonus features: nope! With sincerest apologies to Ryuichi Sakamoto and anyone who can't stomach mouth sounds.

We sink our teeth into The Predator and two more Oshima films, Death by Hanging and Diary of a Shinjuku Thief. Bonus features: I can't remember.

We ponder Crazy Rich Asians and continue our Oshima series with a look at Night and Fog in Japan and The Pleasures of the Flesh. Bonus features: Run Lola Run, They Came Together and the movie Citizen Kane.

We discuss Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman and commence our exploration of the films of Nagisa Oshima with a look at A Town of Love and Hope and Cruel Story of Youth. Bonus features: Naked Lunch, Jade, An Elephant Sitting Still, Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and more!

We celebrate the release of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (a while ago) by looking back on the entire Mission: Impossible series, including the one without a colon, and come up with the definitive ranking of all six films. Will your enthusiasm for this series survive our tortuous feature-length discussion? No! Bonus features: none! I cut them out! Plus no ads and a picture of Tom Cruise that would fool his own mother!

We tackle some film called Zoe and Park Chan-wook's erotic thriller The Handmaiden. Bonus features: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Blergh Runner 2049 and one more!

This week, we vaguely recall a mumbling Sam Worthington doing... something? And we discuss the Joe Dante classic Innerspace, co-starring Martin Short—although it's actually Dennis Quaid who is 'short' in the movie! In more ways than one! Because he is inside Martin Short and he tells him what to do! Bonus features: A Page of Madness, Thief and more!

This week, we jump into two Paul Rudd vehicles, Ant Man and the Wasp and This Is Forty. Bonus features: Just Friends, The Tale of Zatoichi and more!

We celebrate our tenth anniversary by tucking into Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and the Netflix romantic comedy everybody is talking about (three months ago) Set It Up. Bonus features: The Eternal Breasts, Saturn 3, The King of Comedy and more!

This week, a timely discussion of War Machine (2017), Clifford (1994) and nothing else. The Australian host would like to apologise for overindulging in crisp dry white prior to recording, owing to a scheduling conflict with the World Cup.
