Study of Film

This week we try to understand time travel - wish Brian luck. We also rant about the use of 555 numbers in movies and about why the ATF is not called ATFE. Oh and we once again talk about our favorite streaming service, AMC+. In case you didn't catch that sarcasm - we despise AMC+. Tubi on the other hand...

Get ready for liftoff as we explore this Michael Bay 90s classic filled with America, romance, a stacked cast, and visual effects that Stanley Kubrick would be proud of.

Not sure where to watch it? If you have AMC+ don't even bother. You're better off going to a local retirement home still subscribed to cable to watch it as Michael Bay intended, with a ton of commercials on TNT.

Because one multi-story film wasn't enough for us, here is another one. Cameron has a lot of thoughts on this one, so grab your Walkman as we listen to California Dreamin' for the 100th time and join us on this quest to decipher this Wong Kar-wai classic.

Can Damián Szifron's series of short stories be considered one feature film?

David Lynch -- not to be confused with David Fincher -- scares the shit out of us with this provocative thriller. We're still not sure if it's all a dream or if we're all dreaming right now, but Cameron really likes it.

Disclaimer: We're not sponsored by T-Mobile (yet).

We finally review a Bergman film.

Brian, Cameron, and Frank realize that westerns are kinda boring, but with a good cast they can be somewhat enjoyable.

Buckle up for one big chase with varying speeds. This is part one of our back-to-back Gene Hackman extravaganza.

This legendary Japanese film has it all: action, great acting, gore, and it inspired Hunger Games. How would you survive the Battle Royale?

Brian still doesn't know how to pronounce the name of this movie. Cameron gives a lesson on Dostoyevsky and Russian literature. Frank is still trying to figure out where this movie is supposed to take place.

Brad Anderson's The Machinist (2004) has is a psychological thriller with a cult following that is well known for Christian Bale's unprecedented weight loss for the role of Trevor Reznik.
