The Complete Works Podcast

It's time for some post-Halloween spookiness with another Mike Makes Mike Watch! This time, Mike D is making Smith catch up with Karyn Kusama's THE INVITATION, while Smith is making Mike D take in Ti West's breakthrough feature, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL!

For the second time this season, we're talking about the sequel to one of the greatest movies ever made. That's right, though he doesn't appear in the original film, Roy Scheider leads the cast of 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT, Peter Hyams' (surprisingly great?) follow-up to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.

This week, it's a Guest Makes Mike SCREAM, as Vin Craig returns to the podcast to make the Mikes watch one of his new Halloween favorites, Adam Sandler in HUBIE HALLOWEEN!

This week, Roy Scheider stars in the very first original movie produced for the Disney Channel (which is a slightly different honor than being the first Disney Channel Original Movie) as an again pitcher for the Detroit Tigers in TIGER TOWN!

You're not gonna believe it, folks - we actually got Mike D to watch the JOKER sequel. And guess what? He didn't like it. For that matter, Smith didn't like it either. Time to break it down.

This week, Roy Scheider scores an action hit with 1983's BLUE THUNDER! Directed by John Badham (WARGAMES) and co-starring Malcolm MacDowell, Daniel Stern, and Warren Oates, this '80s thriller features top-notch helicopter stunt work and exciting twists and turns (and according to recent completely unsubstantiated rumor, may be a big influence on Christopher Nolan's next film!)

After taking a couple of years off, Roy Scheider returns with a thriller influenced by the films of Alfred Hitchcock from the director of KRAMER VS. KRAMER. Co-star Meryl Streep has called it the worst film she's ever been in. It's time for STILL OF THE NIGHT!

It's time for another Mike Makes Mike Watch! This week, Mike D is making Smith catch up with an underrated horror sequel (just in time for a new one coming out next year), 28 WEEKS LATER! Meanwhile, Smith is making Mike D finally watch Terry Gilliam's sci-fi masterpiece BRAZIL!

It's showtime, folks! This week, Roy Scheider closes out his 1970s run with another all-timer, Bob Fosse's existential masterpiece ALL THAT JAZZ! This haunting meditation on life, death, and show business is one of the high water marks not just of Scheider's career, but of cinema in general.

We are once again returning to the world according to Jeff Goldblum - and this time, Goldblum really is in charge of the world. He stars as Zeus, the leader of the gods, in Netflix's new spin on Greek mythology, KAOS! We've got our thoughts on the first two episodes (and sort of the state of streaming TV as a whole) right here!
